Springbed Cove

"Hey, do you want to go training with me?" My sister asked. We often did stuff together ever since our parents died a few years ago in a surfing accident. But since they both had had pretty good jobs and the foresight to invest into their savings, plus their insurance, we were able to keep the house and not have to worry about bills. "Where were you training at?" "I was going to go to Springbed Cove", she replied. She already knew what my answer was going to be, but i knew that she wanted me to draw it out. "I don't know, its going to be crowded and I have to work." "That's your best excuse?" She laughed. "Firstly Springbed is an hour and a half away, and most of the traffic is coming towards the city not going out of it. Secondly you have the week off until the strike at the processing plant is over." "Fine, let me get ready." "Don't keep a girl waiting too long." She teased. As I was walking away to get my stuff, I couldn't help but wonder why she chose Springbed Cove. Springbed was known as a make-out spot. Thinking along those lines made me think of my love-life or lack thereof. It had been almost eight months since I walked in on my girl getting spit-roasted by my so called friends. I ended things pretty quickly after that. In hindsight, I think I only went out with her to gain experience, even though she kept telling me she wanted to wait. An irate car horn brought me out of my reprieve. Guess I took too long. Quickly gathering the rest of my stuff, I headed out to my sister's car. "Took you long enough." "Sorry about that. Guess I lost track of time." I said. "It's cool, lets go already." And with that she reached over and turned on the radio and we were off. Somewhere along the way, with the help of slow traffic and good tunes, I fell asleep. "Hey wake up, we'll be there in about ten minutes." "Alright." I replied, still groggy, but happy she woke me up. Springbed's entrance was a sight to behold, and I always like to see it when I can. "I'm going to pull into the next gas station." My sister said. I knew what gas station it was, since there were only two around. "Sounds good, I wanted to get some snacks. Anyway what made you want to train at Springbed?" "Its a surprise." She said as she pulled into the gas station. "Here we are, the great gas station of gassdom." She joked. "I'm going to get what i need and meet you back in the car in a few." "Sure thing." I said, wondering again of why she chose Springbed. A knock on my window brought me back to the moment, and to my sister who had an armful of snacks.
