Is this destiny?

Chapter 335 - Camping (1)

Sophia and Felix stayed the night at Sarah's and Aiden's apartment. They had breakfast together and got ready to head to the airport. To reach the house site, they will take jet and then travel with a van.

Just as they were leaving the apartment, JoAnna called to say that they are running a late. Sarah was upset that her perfectly planned weekend is getting ruined because JoAnna and Jeff can't wake up on time.

Four of them decided to wait in the apartment, it's more comfortable than at the airport. About half an hour later, JoAnna called to say that they are heading out.

By the time they reached house site, it was after 1 PM.

Sarah was happy to see that drive to the house was much easier, since the greenery was cleared out enough for a two-way road which lead all the way to the house site.

Cash, the construction manager was on site, waiting for them patiently. He greeted all of them and showed current progress to Sarah and Aiden. Sophia, JoAnna, Jeff and Felix tagged along, curious to see the house.

The progress was visible on the main level. Skeleton of main level is up: walls, floor, ceilings. Where doors and windows are about to be installed, frames are cut out. Electrical and networking wires are installed, and Cash was eagerly showing them each outlet and access point. For second floor they started erecting the walls. From the second floor, they saw that work was in progress for the swimming pool, as well as leveling up for the garden area.

They took the stairs down, to the basement, which is complete.

Cash was explaining: "Only fine finishes are left for the basement. We are leaving that when the whole structure of the house is done, so that it can be closed and locked. We don't want to risk painting walls and installing floors, just to have some vandals come and destroy them."

"What is this for?", JoAnna observed large square shaped trap door on the floor.

Cash stiffened up and looked at Sarah and Aiden. Two of them nodded that it's OK to talk about it.

Cash relaxed, "It's for the underground level." He opened one side of trap door and they could see the 'bat cave' below. "We still didn't get instructions what to do with this area, so we are leaving it as-is. Later, here will be an elevator that leads down, but that's it based on current plans."

"Once we settle down, we will show you an alternate entrance to that space." Sarah explained with a smile.

After the house tour, Cash showed them down to the area where they set up the tent. "Miss Sarah, we followed your instructions. I hope you will approve the results."

At the beginning of the beach, there was a large tent, erected on an elevated deck, constructed for this occasion.

"You have electrical outlets here." Cash talked while showed them around the deck. "And here are network outlets. We tested it yesterday, and it all works."

"Nice, thank you!" Sarah praised him.

"So, camping with electricity and internet?" JoAnna laughed.

"Of course!" Sarah said seriously. "It's spending time outside, not at the end of the world." She turned to Cash. "And showers and restrooms?"

"Oh, yes. That is here, in the back." Cash showed them on the other side of the tent.

Sophia and JoAnna looked at each other and laughed.

"What is funny?" Sarah asked with a sour face. "If construction workers have running water and restrooms, why wouldn't we have it?"

"Except for the tent, nothing looks like camping here." Felix voiced what everyone else thought.

"By tomorrow, you will be grateful for all the comfort here... besides, if you don't want to, you don't need to use it." Sarah looked at her sisters. "You two! If you need to go, use that bush over there. Restrooms are off limit for you!"

"Hey!" Sophia and JoAnna protested in unison.

Sarah laughed. "Let's check out the tent."

They stepped on a large deck which was a base for the tent. It provided a significant area for sitting with chaises and a grill. Inside they stepped into a living area with two large sofas and a dining table with six chairs. On the side was a kitchen area. In the back they saw three areas divided by solid fabric, and each of the areas had a queen size bed set up with pillows and bedsheets and bedside tables with lamps. Each of the 'bedrooms' had a chest with drawers for clothes. Stack of fresh towels on each of the chests.

"As you requested, refrigerator is stocked with the items on the list you provided." Cash told Sarah.

"Thank you, Cash, you did a great job." Sarah praised him.

Cash was very happy to be praised, his wide smile was contained only by limits of his own face.

"I change my previous statement." Felix said while looking around. "Even the tent does not look like we are camping." He observed the huge refrigerator, gas stovetop and a microwave.

Sarah gave Felix a mean look.

Aiden hugged Sarah. "Don't listen to them... this is great. And they love it, but they want to tease you."

This made Sarah feel better.

Aiden turned to others, "We will have a small beach house down here. That is why electricity, network, water and gas have outlets here. The tent is only using what is already available."

Everyone nodded in approval.

Sarah clapped her hands in excitement, "All right! Let's change into swimwear and hit the water... after that we can make food." Sarah looked at JoAnna. "Anna, a as newly engaged couple, you and Jeff get a first pick on the bed... Sophia and Felix, you are next."

Cash saw that he is not needed and left after saying goodbye and wishing them to have a good time.
