JJ was in seventh heaven. He’d been sure vacationing with his boyfriend would be the best fun ever, but it was proving even better than he’d imagined. It was as if the world was conspiring to give him everything he could possibly wish for, from perfect weather for enjoying the beautiful scenery to romantic evenings sampling delicious foods in quaint little eateries. Then, just when he’d thought things couldn’t possibly get any better…
“Look, Drakey,” he exclaimed excitedly. “They do strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries! I loooove strawberries!” He said that last as if Drake wasn’t already well aware of JJ’s strawberry addiction. “We have to have some!”
“Of course we do,” Drake agreed, smiling indulgently at his boyfriend. “Can’t pass up something like that, can we?”
Coming to England on vacation had mainly been JJ’s idea, on Ryo’s recommendation, since Ryo had visited Britain several times and told everyone what a lovely country it was. Drake hadn’t had any objections; anything that made his lover happy was fine with him. Between them, he and JJ had picked the south coast because Ryo had said that would give them good beaches as well as lots of picturesque little towns and villages to visit, and although they’d only arrived here three days ago, they were already thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Yesterday they’d sampled a British afternoon tea, delighting in scones filled with rich, thick clotted cream and locally made strawberry jam, a British preserve similar to jelly but with what seemed to be whole strawberries it. Today they’d found this little tearoom selling homemade strawberry ice-cream, with or without the accompaniment of freshly picked strawberries. Even though they’d had a big lunch less than two hours ago at a country pub, how could they possibly resist something so tempting?
Paying for their treat, they found a table outside in the shade, settling down to eat, with JJ rhapsodising over the full flavour of the ice-cream and the sweetness of the berries. Drake couldn’t stop grinning; he loved seeing his boyfriend so happy.
“This has to be the best vacation ever, and we picked the perfect time to come too! I’ve never seen so many strawberries! This is soooo good!” JJ only stopped talking long enough to have another mouthful of ice-cream, sighing in pleasure.
“I have an idea about what we could do tomorrow,” Drake cut in while JJ’s mouth was too full for him to speak.
“Really? What’s that?”
“I saw a sign just down the road,” Drake said, his grin getting even wider. “Pick your own strawberries. We could do that; it sounds like fun, and it would mean having lots of strawberries to enjoy for the rest of our vacation.”
“Oooh, yes!” JJ’s eyes lit up. “That sounds perfect! You, me, and strawberries; what could be better?”
“Maybe when we’ve picked our strawberries, we could get some of this strawberry ice-cream to go, and have an evening in, just enjoying our… dessert.” Drake winked.
JJ giggled. “You have the best ideas, Drakey!”
