Keera's POVWhen Eric said he couldn't tell me anything at least for now, I didn't want to pry, he has a point though I mean, I'm a stranger he just met...Maybe he will someday when he learns to trust me."That's ok man," I told Eric while patting his back...Eric just turned and said"Trust Keerah to always turn a serious situation into a joke"And we both laughed..."Hey wanna see something fun?" Eric asked. "of course, what is it?""Follow me," he said and started to go in a direction that was as if he were going around the cave.We kept walking, the road was becoming hilly, and I started to doubt Eric's definition of fun...Like can climbing up a hill be defined as fun?"Seriously Eric is this what you call fun? Climbing a hill? You should have told me it was a hill climb and then I would have definitely passed on the offer,"I complained for the umpteenth time."Patience Keerah you'd see it was all worth it" Eric tries to persuade me."I doubt it would though," I mumbled back wh
Eric's POVWhen I asked keera if she wanted to hear a secret I didn't know which of the secrets I should tell her first.I contemplated on whether or not I should tell her about the fact that I know who she is, or should I just tell her what really made me come here?I later settled with telling her we have a way out of here...We can go home before winter starts, I said while looking at her to see her expression...Her face was blank for a few moments before she realized what I just said and looked at me with eyes as wide as saucers..."Are you serious? How did you find a way? Did you contact a rescue team? How long before they arrive?" She asked all at the same time."Shit! keera calm down, which one of these questions do you want me to answer first?" I asked while smiling at her confused state..."All of it if possible..."She said back probably eager to hear the whole story..."Well for starters I came here on my own with a helicopter, I needed to get away from reality even if it
Someone in Vienna's POVI was sitting in my office when drew came in."Boss, there's no news yet.""And Why is that?"I asked anger lacing through my voice."Am sorry boss we searched everywhere""What do you mean by you searched everywhere?So you mean he vanished from the face of the earth?"How can the best of my men not be able to carry out a simple task? I thought out loud..."And what about the girl did you find her? ""No boss "Find them I said, my voice thundering in the whole room.And he hurriedly left my office after saying "yes boss"I've been trying to find two people who vanished the face of the earth.One was someone who needs to be found and the other someone who needs to be punished.It's either they both are so good at hiding or my boys are beginning to slack off. If it's the latter I'd have to do something about I can't afford to let slackers work for me.*****Eric's POVThe ear-piercing sound I heard, caused me to start running in the direction I heard the sound f
Keera's POVWe sat under the tree with Eric in silence after I told him about not wanting to leave the island.Neither of us said a word for a while, my mind was filled with a lot of possibilities of what could happen when I returned...And for a moment I just wanted to stay here on this island and never return.I wanted to ask Eric about my family but refrained from asking because am not sure what I even wanna know about them...All these were going through my head and I didn't know when I fell asleep...The next thing I know was I woke up with my head leaned on Eric's shoulders.I don't know if I did while I was asleep or if Eric was the one who tilted my head to rest on his shoulders...This position is not as comfortable as you'd think, on the contrary, it's horrible now my neck feels like it's carried tons of heavy boxes...I raised my head and looked at Eric, his eyes were closed and I thought maybe he was asleep so I tried to get up cautiously so I don't wake him up but then he
Keera's POVEric and I went back to the cave after catching some bird that looked like a hawk but I don't know if it's really a hawk.When we entered into the cave, Eric kept our game on the ground and started to make fire. He had already removed the unwanted part at the site of the hunt so all that's left to do was roast it.I watched with keen interest as he made the fire and roasted our dinner like a professional, which made me wonder how long he'd been here for.We were both quiet, none of us made any attempt to say anything, Eric only concentrated on making our dinner ready, while I just watched him silently.After a while, Eric brought down the meat and cut it before handing me a piece, and we both ate it in another wave of silence.After we finished our dinner, Eric stood up and asked if I wanted to come outside with him, I then got up and followed him.We went outside and sat down beside the lake, we sat not too far from each other. I raised my head and looked up at the night
Eric's POVwhen I woke up this morning keera was no longer on the bed I thought she had left the cave but later heard the sounds of splashing water from the hot tub.I usually don't sleep in but I did today maybe because I slept late last night. I couldn't fall asleep after what happened.when Keera left after we kissed, all realization dawned on me. like what the fuck was I thinking when I kissed her, I know I'm not in love with her and I probably would never be so why did I do that? I asked myself a thousand times while pulling on my hair.I don't want to hurt her she deserves someone better than me someone with fewer issues and someone who can love her with the whole of his heart and not just part.I know I was attracted to her that I'll admit to, but love is on a whole different level which would be hard to attain because it drove me here...I know I still love jade even with everything that happened, and part of me knows no matter what I will still love her, and that kills me eac
Keera's POVWhen Eric apologized for the kiss last night, I immediately felt flustered, I couldn't even imagine how my face looked with the way my blood drained completely from it. I was so dumbfounded that I couldn't even find any words to say to him, so I just fled angrily and went to the only place that came to mind and I wanted to be was on top of the hill...I believed climbing up that hill would help me calm down a little bit, but it didn't, if anything it made me more furious than I had already been, I kept on planning ways to murder Eric in my head and live alone here or die of boredom.I was still unable to come up with a valid plan, and before I knew it I was at the top of the hill. Even amid all my furiousness, I couldn't help but notice how dried the hilltop was something I had failed to notice the first time I came up here with Eric...Which made me confused as to why the top of the hill was dried if the waterfall was right beneath it.I could hear the sound of the gushin
Eric's POVWhen Keera asked if we could stay a little bit longer, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow not sure if she meant it or if she only said that to pull my legs since she always seems to be joking, but when I asked her why, what she said and how her face looked so down, which was totally the opposite of the jovial person she was just a couple of seconds ago, and that made realization dawned on my face.I was only thinking about myself, I didn't consider if Keera wanted to leave just yet. I mean I remember her saying she doesn't want to leave just a few days ago, I should have known she'd be scared to face the outside world, completely oblivious of whom to trust out there.And that reminds me of my thoughts on how I'd planned to let her stay with me and gauge the situation before letting her go back home because I needed to be sure that she is safe to be back home. I wanted to tell her we might be able to stay a few more days, but I had to check a few things first before I do
