Saturday morning, Sarah and Aiden went to et with Louis. He is the architect who is working with Sarah on her house. His office is in Los Angeles.
They talked about current floor plan, and Aiden added his inputs.
"I will modify floor plan based on these and send you an updated version." Louis said.
"Sounds good." Sarah approved. She was so excited that she was not able to stop grinning.
Louis looked at his notes. "Now, about the underground area..."
Sarah started waving her arms uncontrollably to get his attention. "Let's talk about that so other ti!" Her voice was louder than what she intended. Aiden looked at her suspiciously and she did her best to ignore his probing gaze while clearing his throat. "We are going on site after this..."
"Oh, I see." Louis smiled. "Next ti then."
Aiden looked at Sarah wanting to ask what that is about, but he decided not to. Seeing how happy she is, he will give her this day to do as she pleases... he will give her any day to do as she pleases.
...
They headed to grocery store where Sarah got a large cooler, filled it with ice, beverages, and sandwiches that she got from the nearby store. She got everything planned for a day on the beach. Aiden watched her as she skipped through the store happily while picking stuff. It was obvious that she planned for this day with great care.
She drove to the airport.
"We are flying?" He thought they will drive there.
"It's eight hours drive from here. I don't want to spend the day in the car."
Aiden agreed about not spending the day in the car. But he didn't like the fact about eight-hour drive. It sounded like a remote place. He would like his ho to be close to civilization, but he kept his thoughts for himself. He will wait until he sees the place.
"Cash is going to be there at one." Sarah ntioned.
"Cash?"
"Construction manager. They don't work on the weekends, but he will co to et with us."
They took a private jet, and after a short flight, they landed on a small airport. From there they took a rental car and continued their trip. After about half an hour drive, Sarah was driving on a dirt road through lush greenery, surrounded with massive trees which thick treetops blocked most of the sun rays. She stopped the car next to a red pickup truck.
"Cash is here! Let's go et him." Sarah's excitent spiked again.
After a short walk, they ended up on a large flat plateau. A middle-aged man is standing at the edge, facing the ocean.
Sarah held Aiden's hand and walked toward the man. "Hi Cash, thank you for eting us here today."
He turned around and smiled. "Not a problem, Miss Sarah. My pleasure."
"This is Aiden. He will be part of this going forward." Sarah introduced Aiden.
They talked about the current status and next steps, and shortly after that Cash left.
"I like the location very much. The only problem I see is that it's a bit remote. Closest large city is San Francisco, and it takes about three-hour drive to reach." Sarah pointed on the side. "There is a good place for a helipad. With helicopter it will take less than an hour."
"But even with this distance as a caveat, I love this location. Let show you why." Sarah turned toward the ocean. "Look at this view. It will be amazing! But this only the first reason why I picked this lot... co, let show you the less obvious ones." She took his hand and led the way toward the ocean. They descended down the rocks which were cut as steps.
On each side how much eye can see, shore is made out of tall rocks. Sarah pointed out this while walking. "But this lot has a hidden gem… it's coming in view in few steps… Look!" As they ca out from thick foliage, they stepped on a fine white sand which ford a U-shaped sandy beach. Tall rock formation goes into the ocean on each side of the beach, and acts as natural wave breaker. Violent waves which crash against the rocky shore, are almost non-existent on this beach where water ets the sand.
Sarah looked at Aiden expectantly, and he gave a small nod of approval.
Sarah grinned and tugged his hand, indicating that there is more. They walked between two large rocks which hide a difficult to spot passage, unless one knows where to look. They got inside and walked through a narrow tunnel. With every step the tunnel expanded, and it beca a cave. Side of rock formation that is facing the ocean has several holes that lets sunlight in. As they walked, sand on the ground was replaced with rocks, and not long after they were in front of an underground lake. Light rays are hitting the water surface and reflect on the ceiling. It looks as if they are in a different world. Sarah removed her clothes and was left in a purple string bikini. She jumped in the water. "Co!" Aiden didn't hesitate. They reached a rock wall on the opposite side. She took a deep breath and dove under water. Aiden followed. They went under a rock and resurfaced on other side. The light was coming from underwater rock, reflecting on the ceiling which was smooth, colored with layers of darker and lighter rock.
Sarah looked up. "No matter how many tis I co here, it's still captivating... "
"Stunning." His voice echoed in the cave.
Sarah glanced at Aiden and saw that he is looking at her. She smiled. "Co, we are not there yet." They got out of water and continued walking through the cave. The surrounding was getting darker with each step. Sarah reached for the wall and found a switch. She flipped it, and LED lights lit up the ceiling. Aiden looked around and saw that they are in a large cave, stalactites decorated the ceiling, and floor of the cave was covered in large flat rocks. Sarah gave him ti to absorb the surroundings before explaining. "Right above here is where house will be built. Geologist confird, this cave is sturdy, and location is suitable for house with a basent. This underground area will be accessible through an elevator from the basent. I'm still thinking what to do with this, the possibilities are limitless."
Aiden looked around and smiled. "Bat cave."
Sarah laughed when she saw him goofing around like a kid. "Bat cave? Sure, why not? We can dig a tunnel so that bat-mobile can get out...."
