Somewhere in paradise

Next morning Diane woke up to the sound of something beeping outside. Diane looked out the window but she wasn’t sure where they were.

Matthew was no where to be found. Diane started to panic. She quickly washed up. Got dressed and grabbed her belongings. She didn’t have much on her since she was at the beach before this. She has her debit card and cell phone, which has no reception where ever they were at.

Diane went to deck of the boat and was greeted by an unfriendly crew member.

“Where are we and where is Matthew?”

“I don’t have time for questions. You can either go home or wait.”

The crew member hurried off.

Diane thoughts went wild.

Oh lord, what did I get myself into. Last night was perfect but none of this makes sense now. I need to get off this boat and find cell signal. Without a second thought Diane jumped on the dock they were at.

Diane was tired and sore. She knew drinking made her sore but she wasn’t worried since she had just been relaxing. She was not ready for anything too physically demanding today.

As she walked up the docks and saw a man that she could ask where she could get cell signal.

“Sir where can I get cell service?”

The man just pointed up a hill.

Great! An up hill hike is just what I needed. Diane thought.

Diane started walking. About half way up the hill, she had already walked a mile, she saw a store. It was an odd name she didn’t understand.

Inside was a small bar full of men. Diane found everything was in another language which is why she didn’t understand the sign. The atmosphere was scary though. Men, who were all eyeing her, were dirty and rough looking.

Diane walked up to the bar.

“Excuse me, can I get a drink”

The man at the bar just looked at her. Finally a man with dark hair and brown eyes walked up to Diane.

He had a strong accent but spoke English. He said something to the bar keep she didn’t understand then turned to Diane.

“Here a drink for you miss. We don’t get many English speaking people here. Women like you shouldn’t be so close to these docks.”

“I’m just hiking to the top of the hill for cell service. Then I’ll be gone.”

“Since it not a safe hike how about I drive you?”

Diane felt uneasy about this but she had to find a way home. This man wants quite as scary as the other men. He was clean, strong, and kind looking overall.

“Ok”

After Diane finished her drink she followed the stranger to his car. It was a nice black car with tinted windows. As they drive the stranger was watching Diane. It was eerie but Diane told herself it was because this whole situation was eerie.

“What is a girl like you doing here?”

“I met up with my friend Matthew and now I’m heading home.”

“A friend” Diane thought. I don’t even know anything about Matthew except he makes whiskey. Besides a magical night, this was all too weird. The magic of last night and how good Matthew made Diane feel flooded Diane’s mind. Those kisses were so good. Not too hard but passionate. Diane finally notice they were on top but the car didn’t slow down.

“Stop” Diane yelled.

The doors locked. Diane tried to unlock them.

“Just sit tight. If you do as I say, you’ll see your friend again”

Diane tried to hit the stranger in the face but he quickly grab her arm handcuffed her hands.

“Look, your friend is my rival. If he gives me something I want you’ll be back to him in a few hours.”

They drove for long time. Diane was scared but she wasn’t going to let the driver know she was scared. She only knew Matthew for one night. Would he rescue her? He did rescue her from her ex and made her need become filled. She could still feels Matthews strong arms holding her all night long. She was in such a deep sleep she didn’t hear Matthew leave. Diane stared out the window replaying last night joy through her mind.

Diane woke up to some yelling. She must of fell asleep while lost in her thoughts. The car was parked inside a barn. To Diane amazement she was happy to see the yelling was between the stranger and Matthew.

Matthew handed something to the stranger. The stranger unlocked the car and threw the cuff keys at Matthew.

“I’m so tha..” Diane started to speak but Matthew gave her a stern look.

“Shh don’t saying until I get you out of here and don’t act like you know me”

Diane had tears running down her face. She was happy to see Matthew but also scared. Look at Matthew face didn’t match his words. All the emotions were too much to keep inside anymore.

Matthew turned to the stranger.

“See you asshat, she not even as good as my maid. She was just a stowaway. You deserve nothing more then I gave you “

Matthew roughly pushed Diane towards a waiting SUV.

Stranger stared hard at Diane. “She still looks like the girl Dave knew. He is just starting up so you better watch him and lay off me!”

Diane eyes grew wide as she thought to herself. “Dave… how does he know Dave?
