She saw the flash and turned to look at Arthur noticing a camera! Laughing as he explained he now had a photos of her surprise she shook her head, "I want a million photos from today." She demanded, knowing that her new home would be FILLED with them now! She was going to need SO many frames! Everywhere would be animals! Photos of her and Arthur at the zoo!!
Their host was speaking but Guinevère could not look away from Arthur until she heard the part about not being afraid by standing near the elephants. Her eyes moved to him, shocked they'd get to stand near them. "or when you feed them." FEED THEM?!?! Her eyes moved back to Arthur in shocked surprise as she whispered loudly, "He thinks we can feed them!?!!!" She told him as if he had not heard!
FEED An elephant! She had been a teacher for years but in this moment she was so surprise and excited she could not even tell Arthur what elephants ate! "Really?!"

Guinevère wasn't sure if her eyes COULD get wider from more surprise or not, but when she was told they would be going down onto the reservation rather then just touring from the normal view points with the crowds of people her eyes surely went more wide as they moved from their wonderful little host to Arthur's face.
"I . . . . " Was speechless! Honestly speechless for a few moments as the idea of going SO CLOSE to animals that she normally only saw from afar was rather exciting! " . . . . I . . . " Arthur had done this for her!? Looking up at him she just stared for a moment before laughing excitedly at her own lack of words. "I have no idea where to even start! Whatever is closest! We are in your hands." She told Grettir, knowing that right now she could not pick. She wished she had her camera so so could remember this day forever!

Closer to the animals?! How much closer could they get? There were walls, and gates that kept everyone a safe distance away, just as they had large dips or pools to keep a distance from people. "Besides, you owe me a picture with the giraffes," She laughed brightly at the reminder but knew that she had no camera! She had not even packed for the zoo but just her normal bag of things!
"No one has ever done anything even close to this for me before. I cannot express how excited I am and how wonderful this is." She told him, not wanting him to think she wasn't aware of how wonderful the gesture was. "So if you want a photo of giraffes, I will make sure that if I leave with nothing else today, it's with that!" She promised him, and reached up to wipe a happy tear from her cheek, as she wrapped her arm around him too. They walked that way, with their arms around each other as they followed their host into the gates, and came out on the other side . . .
There she saw what he meant by getting closer! They were where the employee's walked and did things. The gate to the elephants was just a few dozen feet from them and opened as someone was loading food into a golf cart to drive in there. The zoo here wasn't like big city zoos, but it was a Official Reservation for wild animals. You often had to use binoculars to see them for other then a few of the animals they often stayed away from where the people came. They were down WITH the animals.

Surprise! She laughed and hurried toward him to frame his cheeks and leave a quick but happy kiss on his lips! "You planned this!?" She asked, knowing that he had said ti would not be the same without the children but . . .
Every year she went with them, and she spent more time chasing them rather then looking at the animals. She moved at their pace and saw what they wanted. While she loved it, loved seeing their faces and the excitement, she had never been just to look around at her own pace. Kissing him again, she pulled back to look around. THE ZOO! "Where did we park?" She asked as they began walking behind their host again. She could not see any animals yet but she could still hear them!
Guinevère kept looking at the wall of trees and tried to see if anything could be seen though them, but the wall the trees hid kept her from seeing them. How close where they!? "Thank you!" She added in quickly, "I forgot to say thank you! But thank you!! This is wonderful!! Such a wonderful surprise!" She moved to kiss his cheek again while they walked.

Guinevère got out of the car and smiled, wondering where she was at. Looking around at the vague surroundings, Guinevère smiled at the little man whom was expecting them apparently. "Oh, Hullo," She said in greeting. He then lead them toward where they needed to go, while she tried to look around. Walking along next to Arthur she looked up at him and whispered, "Where are we?"
It was then she heard a strong sound, VERY close to them. She jumped slightly, knowing what the sound was but it made no scene. The only things around here were what looked like large delivery trucks and golf carts. Large trees heavy shrubbery covered any sign of where the were other then the walk way they were on. The sound had come from behind the trees. Looking closer as they walked, she could see a wall behind the trees, as if they were there to cover it. The wall looked large and thick. Finally after walking some more the sound came again.
She knew what that was. The man whom was leading them was talking about the weather and how Arthur picked a good day for a visit, but Guinevère stopped walking for a moment and everything clicked. She wanted for Arthur to stop walking and turn to look at her before her smile broke in and her eyes lit up in surprise. "Arthur . . . . are we at the Zoo?" She asked in a controlled excited tone. Because THAT sound was an elephant and where else did you find them!?

At least Arthur had not been mad about her joke! Guinevère smiled and leaned back to look up and out the window at the sky and the near perfect weather. She wondered how far his house was, as she had assumed it would be closer to his work then this?
Where would they go besides that?! She waited there, looking out the window before she looked over at him. "Where are we going?" She asked in a teasing tone, trying to see if he would casually let it slip out, though the mystery was rather enjoyable. The unknown and knowing it was getting closer and closer!! She knew the area they were in, but not the roads they were on. This was one of the roads that she had never been down before, and it made her wonder what was down this way. No more big city lights and sounds but more trees and openness. Nature rather then steal.

His mates? THAT sounded like a typical guy excuse. Then he relaxed and teased her in return about blushing. "You like to make me do that." She teased also then made sure to clear the air and he didn't feel bad about her joking. "I should not have teased you so much. It was just a amusing to watch you try to talk your way out of it. I know you had a life before I came in and completed things. I'm not going to hold it over you and be the possessive jealous girl."
Guinevère had not called herself girlfriend because he had not clarified what they were yet. Yet he had slept with her that night when he came over to talk about the baby. And then again and again. To her while it might not apply they were official it did mean that they were testing the waters. She assumed that meant they both didn't test the waters with other people.

In case? Guinevère knew she was being mean to toy with him so, but it was rather enjoyable to pretend to hold them over him. She had to fight to keep the smile from her voice. "In case . . . what?" An emergency? She kept a twenty folded up and stuffed in her wallet hidden behind her ID for 'In case' and apparently he kept not one but a strong of 'in cases'.
"I carry an umbrella with me sometimes . . . you know . . . in case." She teased him, "Or extra money, just in case." Who knew when she might need a few dollars. "My co-workers will keep a tire iron in their cars for in case they reach an emergency and really need one . . . and can't even wait to get to the store." She smiled and then bit her lip to keep from laughing. She was not worried about his past. She did not own him.
The important point was, he had not needed them nor dated anyone since her. The rest she could forgive. "I am being mean and teasing you. I'm sorry." she broke and told him.

Arthur asked for a favor and Guinevère smiled, "Sure!" He had seemed to think the afternoon appointment would work out so she was trying not to think about the money aspect. Moving forward she tried to open the glove box, and it took her a moment to see how the designer latch worked, and then opened it. There was some papers in there, and she lifted them and paused.
Pulling out a long strand of square packets she looked at them for a moment. He kept condoms there?! Looking over at him for a moment she raised her eye brows, but as she knew he had spent time with girls before he met her, she wasn't going to hold them over his head. He had not seen or dated anyone since he began sleeping with her again. Right? . . . . surely he had not. He wasn't that much of a play boy! He was a one girl guy. She liked to think he was at least.
Deciding to have faith in him, she put them back and then looked for his sunglasses. Finding them she held them up and over to him while she shut the door. "Quite an arrange of things you have in your car." she teased.
