NovelOnlineChapter 11 Chapter 3 "This is a lumberjack festival." Nate said with excitement. "I've always wanted to go to one." I looked around unamused. This was the last place I wanted to be, but I pushed aside my annoyance with the thought that I'd get my chance with Nate later.
There were large men walking around with axes, and swith chainsaws carving into large logs of wood. I couldn't deny that sof the men's scruffiness was actually attractive.
I'd never need Nate so excited, or maybe I just hadn't paid attention till now, but it was nice seeing just how much fun he could actually be.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNate broughtover to a group of people that were admiring one of the men that were carving the logs with a chainsaw. He was younger than a lot of the other carvers, but his technique was exquisite. He looked towards the crowd of people that were admiring and gave a smile.
"Who wants a lesson?!" He shouted to the crowd. A lot of people let out laughs and shook their heads. "Con, it's not that hard." He spottedin the crowd and pointed to me. "How bout you miss? Care to give it a try?" I was feeling pretty brave so I nodded my head.
"Why not." I replied as I headed towards him. I could tell Nate was surprised by my response as well, but I was ready to do anything that he liked if it meant being just a little bit closer to him.
The young lumberjack carefully guided my hands around the chainsaw and turned it on. It was powerful and it shook my hands, but luckily he held on tight as well as he guided me. As the chainsaw cin contact with the wood it becharder to handle, but I held on tight. The lumberjack helped lead the chainsaw in a small pattern that he'd already marked, and the pieces of wood fell to the ground.
After a couple passes he helped turn the chainsaw off and took it from my hands. "You're a natural." He said with a wink. I gave him a quick smile in return, but he was not the one I had my sights on.
I walked back over to Nate and he metwith a vivacious smile. "Well well, I didn't know you had that in you." "There's a lot of things you don't know about me." I said with a smile. Oh if only he knew.
"I have to say you're a natural, you really know your way around wood." A devilish smirk crept across my face.
"Oh you have no idea." I replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe spent a few more hours at the fair, watching axe throwing contests and men tug-o-war in the mud. When we had had enough Nate brought us back to the cabin. When we got back he decided that he wanted to take a small hike in the woods, then after he tookout on the lake as the sun set in the horizon.
I couldn't believe how I'd hated on O Nate for so many years. He really was the nicest guy, and not as hell. N As each hour passed all I could think about was what I planned to do to him when we were cozy in the cabin.
Nate rowed us back to shore after enjoying the sun set, and then we m headed back to the cabin. Nate put NO his outdoor skills to work and made a fire as the sun disappeare@and was replaced by the night sky.
"So, did you have fun today?" Nate said as he relaxed in one of the chairs near the fire he'd just made.
"Yeah." I replied.
