Chapter 6

-I don’t know, but not something usual like catching a movie PLEASE

-Ok, then let me think all right? I’ll call you right back"

Lucky was lying on his bed, the phone on his stomach, when he hung up. He had to think of something fun to do with Elizabeth today. That was his BIG chance to swoop her off of her feet, and he didn’t want to miss it. But what to do in Port Charles on a Saturday, in the middle of March? He didn’t know what! At the same time, the phone rang. Thinking it was Elizabeth, calling back with an idea he answered;

"-Hi beautiful

-Hi sweetheart, he heard on the other side of the line

-Oh I’m sorry Jason, I thought it was Elizabeth

-I can see that. Carly said you called me?

-Yeah I need a favor, can you swing it?

-Name it.

-I’m taking Elizabeth out on a date today. But I’d like to finish it in a really nice, romantic restaurant. Know any?

-Well, you could take her to the Port Charles Grill

-Nah, too common. I need something big, if you see what I mean

-Sure. Let me make a few phone calls and I’ll call you back. I have an idea"

Lucky was still thinking about what to do, but everything he came up with was too simple, too plain. He wanted to think of something unusual, something she would remember for a long time. Suddenly, he got it! Something unusual, something fun, he thought so anyway, and the best part was, they would be alone!

He took the phone and called Elizabeth back. She answered like she was mad, like someone was bugging her.

"-Hi Lucky, she said

-You look mad. Sarah’s bugging you again?

-Yep!

-Well, I have the perfect idea for today

-I hope it’s far from here

-Actually, it is. Mountain climbing. You, me and nature. My father own a cabin in the middle of the mountain. I thought we could go check it out this afternoon. But if you don’t like it, we can do something else

-No it’s perfect. It will take my mind off of my sister. How are we going to get to the mountain?

-I’ll borrow my dad’s truck. We’ll leave it at the bottom, climb up to the cabin, drink some hot chocolate, and head back for a nice diner at a nice restaurant. Sounds good?

-Great!

-I’ll pick you up in an hour"

Jason called back, saying he made reservation for two at the No Name restaurant, for 7 o’clock. Lucky was thrilled. He quickly put some things in his backpack, put on two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, a really big sweat shirt, put his coat on and locked the door. Luke gladly gave the truck to his son, and Lucky was all set to pick Elizabeth. The girl was dressed up for winter too, and she was wear a pair of walking boots. They arrived at the mountain Elizabeth was smiling again. They got out of the truck, locked it, and started climbing. Lucky was wearing a really big pair of gloves, and was always helping Elizabeth. This was her first time, and she nearly fell a couple of times. Lucky took her hand, and kept it in his. They didn’t talk much, but a joke flew by a couple of times. Elizabeth told him how she really liked the view his ski pants were giving her, getting him to blush. At one point, Elizabeth took her hand out of his, picked up some snow and threw it at him. He did the same, and a snow fight was declared. Lucky got her right in the face and she started chasing him. He was running up, but was always looking behind to be sure she was following him. Got him to fall flat on his back, and she got to him. He was lying in the snow, his hands in front of his face, because she had this huge snowball, ready to drop on him.

"-Say I’m the queen! She said, threatening to drop the ball

-Never! He answered, closing his eyes

-You asked for it Spencer!"

She dropped the ball, but not fast enough, Lucky had already moved his face out of the way. He gave a kick on her boot, trying to get her to lose balance and she did, on him. She was laughing, still laying on his stomach. He took some snow with his glove and shove it in her face, getting her to laugh and trying to escape his glove in her face.

"-What do you say we get up? The snow is kinda cold on my butt.

-Really? Gee I didn’t noticed when I had it on my face"

Before she could say anything else, Lucky’s lips were on hers, kissing her tenderly. She put her hands on each side of his face, kissing him back. With a swing of his leg he got on top of her, got up and helped her up, all while still kissing. Elizabeth finally broke it, out of breath.

"-Wow! What do you say we go to your cabin? It’s kinda cold out here.

-Sure, let’s go, it’s not far anymore"

When they arrived at the cabin it was snowing like crazy. Lucky said they should get warm and head back down, before they were caught in a blizzard. He took off his ski pants, keeping only his jogging. Liz watched as Lucky undressing himself. She realized he could tell that she was watching him, but she no longer cared. She wanted him to know how she felt, she wanted him to realize how much she wanted him. Lucky brushed his hair back, taking the snow out of it. That is when he noticed the way she was looking at him. Starring at him. He smiled at her, then took his sweatshirt off. The fire he built was slowly taking off, warming up the cabin. Elizabeth took her second pair of pants off as well, along with her big polar. They hung their wet clothes near the fire, so they could dry off.

Lucky made some hot chocolate and they sat at the table. They didn’t need to talk. Lucky was holding Liz’s hand, and looking deep into her soul. Outside the wind was blowing like crazy and the wood of the cabin was cracking, making Liz jump every time. Lucky got a deck of cards out, and he offered Liz a game of Poker.

"-I don’t mind, she said, but what will be betting on?

-Nothing, let’s just play for fun

-Poker is not fun if we can’t bet Lucky! Are you any good?

-I’m not bad why?

-Let’s find out. What do you say to a game of strip-poker?"

Lucky’s face turned purple, as Elizabeth started to laugh

"-What? Here? He said

-No, out there in the snow! Of course here!

-You can’t be serious!

-Why not? Afraid you’ll lose?"

She was playing with him. He told her once he couldn’t resist a dare. Not to show her he didn’t have the guts to go through with this he said;

"-You will back out before the game is over girl!

-You think so? I’m ready to put something ON the game. The first one who backs out, have to be the other one’s slave for a week

-About anything?

-You name it.

-The slave can’t say no?

-Well, if it’s not dangerous or could lead to trouble, no. But it has to be something between us, not involving other people. Like I can’t ask you to do something to your brother. It has to be about me. So, do we have a deal?"

Lucky was thinking about it, weighing the pros and cons. Sure he was pretty good at Poker, but Elizabeth was too sure of herself and that could only means trouble. By the time he’d be naked she would’ve lost some too, but he didn’t know if he wanted to go that far. While he was thinking, he heard Elizabeth making chicken sounds, bok-bok-bok like. He smiled at her and said;

"-Oh you’re on!"

He got up, took his ski pants and put them back on, along with his sweat shirt. He heard Elizabeth said it wasn’t part of the deal, and he replied that they never said he couldn’t put them on before they started the game either. She smiled at him when he said she could put her stuff on too, but she answered she had enough confidence in her game not to play chicken.

Lucky started as the dealer, and let Elizabeth cut the deck. The first hand, he lost it. Elizabeth was all smiles, as he took his first sock off. Elizabeth laughed, saying it would be a long night! The second hand Lucky lost it again. She was lucky like no one he had ever met. He was down to one pair of socks, two pants, two shirts and his underwear. Elizabeth lost the next hand and took her socks off, both at the same time. For her, socks was the same item, not to be taken off one at a time. It was like getting only one leg out of the pants. Lucky drew the cards again, only to lose one more time.

The game was far on. Lucky was losing to Elizabeth. He had lost his two pair of socks, his two shirts, and one pair of pants. She still had her bra and pants on. Most of the time she was winning with one card. Lucky was going crazy, looking at her, half naked right in front of him. When he looked at his cards, his heart skipped a beat. Three aces. There was no way she could beat this. He wished he could read her face, to know what she had. They put the cards together on the table, when Lucky got up, mad, and pushed his chair away.

"-God! That can’t be! He said"

She had a full house! SHE HAD A FULL! Elizabeth was smiling, showing his pants with her finger.

"-Are you cheating? He asked

-NO! Why, can’t bear losing? You still owe me your pants

-That’s it! The game is over!

-Oh, so I guess you are my slave then? And you thought I was chicken!"

Lucky was mad! He didn’t want to play in the first place, but he honestly didn’t think he would lose everything while she was still half dressed! He put his tee-shirt back on, saying it was time to go. When he looked outside, it was gray, snowing like crazy. He couldn’t even see the trees only a couple of feet away. Elizabeth looked at the window when she saw his face and got up quickly. How would they get out of there? Lucky looked in his backpack to find the cell phone Nikolas gave him last Christmas and told Liz to call her grandmother. Audrey was not happy about the situation, but Liz said they would come back down as soon as the blizzard would light up a little. Audrey said something but the phone went dead.

Lucky was pacing the room, trying to find a way to get out. He looked at Elizabeth, saying he was sorry.

"-Why? She asked, concerned

-Well, I wanted this day to be perfect. I even planned a romantic diner for the both of us at a nice restaurant. I wanted a little wine, little dancing maybe

-Lucky it was perfect. I had so much fun. I always do when I’m with you. As for the diner, we can still have it

-When? And where?

-Here and now. There’s enough food in there, we can find something, and we can always pretend we are at a nice, romantic restaurant? What do you say? Wanna take me out?"
