Perspective of: Daya
Honolulu, Hawaii
"Freedom! Finally!" I burst through the hotel doors stepping into the fresh Hawaiian night air. Nothing but the relaxing sounds of the ocean waves meeting the the tide. The sweet smell of tropical hibiscus flowers and.. smoke?
I turn my head to find Kaidan leaned up against the wall huffing a cigarette in his hand. His long messy hair covered his eyes, his floral button up exposing his upper chest.
"BAHAHAHA! What the fuck are you wearing!" I burst out not being able to contain myself.
"It matches the scenery. Flowers in Hawaii." He rolled his eyes.
"Please never wear that again." I wiped away my tears of laughter.
"Where you going?" He looked at me exhaling his cigarette.
I guess old habits really do die hard. Kaidan started smoking ever since junior year and promised everyone around him that he'll stop. But here he was, after we finally graduated high school, smoking on a trip our parents planned for us.
"None of your business. Go back inside." I came closer to him, grabbing the cigarette out his hand, then dropping it on the ground, stepping on it.
"You're an ass." He walked away, following the path to the boardwalk.
I scoffed out as I continued to walk the same direction, walking right behind him. All I wanted to do was take a quick walk to the convenient store and head right back. Nothing crazy.
Kaidan then sits on a bench on the side of the path, his eyes tracing my body movement. "Why'd you sneak out?" His voice echoed in the air.
"I could ask you the same thing." I looked at him but continued to walk.
A small smile formed on his face as I began to skip away, eventually reaching the convenient store. I went in quickly grabbing a bag of hot fries, sour gummies, and a bottle of water, and paid for them.
Exiting the store I heard a very unfamiliar voice call out. "Hey gorgeous! Where you heading?"
I turned around to find an older guy, probably in his late 40's, walking up to me. He was obviously drunk. The man could barely walk straight. I turned back around, deciding to ignore the man as I walked just a bit quicker.
Suddenly, the man's rough hands gripped onto my wrist pulling me toward him. My heart dropped. This can't be happening right now.
"Sir. Please let go." I tried to stay calm, as I started twisting my hand, trying to break myself free.
"What the matter? Just talk to me." The smell of alcohol flooding my nose, his grip tightening.
"Let go!" I exclaimed hitting the man in face.
"You fucking bitch!" He yelled out forcefully letting go of my hand.
The force from me still pulling back and him finally letting go caused me to slam against the pavement, scraping my knee and palm.
"Don't dress like a whore if you don't want attention." I heard the man mumble as he walks away, sitting at a small table set outside.
I'm literally wearing biker shorts and an oversized shirt. How do you even dress like a whore? I brushed my self off and got off the floor. Great. Now I have a bloody knee and my bag of chips are ruined.
The stinging on my knee grew more intensely as I began limping back to the hotel. Even a bruised formed around my wrist. Best. Night. Ever.
"Heading back?" I hear Kaidan say as I begin to walk past him.
"Yes, now leave me alone." I continued on.
"Why are you limping?" He then jumps in front of me, stopping me in my path.
"Stop asking me questions." I groaned out.
His eyes grew darker as he analyzed my body. He gripped onto my arm, staring and the bruise on my wrist.
"Who the fuck did this to you?" His voiced turned cold.
"I said stop asking me questions." I ripped my arm away from his sneering at him.
Suddenly, Kaidan swoops me up, throwing me over his shoulder as if I were a potato sack. I punched his back multiple times telling him to put me down but he never did. He continued walking forward until we had reached the convenient store once again.
He finally sat me down at the picnic table across from the creepy man.
"Who?" His voiced demanded rather than asking.
His eyes fumed with rage, as they pierce through me like daggers. My eyes panned over the the man who did it, then panned back to Kaidan. His eyes moved along with mine, a sharp grin forming on his face.
His fist began to clench, his usually playful and sarcastic aura turning dark. My heart pumped as I see Kaidan walk up to the man. Shit.
Without saying a word, Kaidan stands in front of the man, then pushes down a bottle of alcohol set on the table.
"Who the fuck is this jackass." I hear the man mutter under his breath.
The man stands up looking Kaidan right in the eyes as he grabs onto his collar. Without hesitation, Kaidan throws a quick punch to the man's jaw.
"Forgot how much of a fighter Kaidan was." I thought as I nonchalantly drank my water watching the fight.
"Hey!" A deep voiced yelled from further down the boardwalk.
I squinted my eyes to see a man dressed in a police uniform running toward the two of them.
"Shit!" I exclaimed out
"Kaidan!" I continued to yell walking over to him.
As if he didn't hear anything, he continued to throw punches at the man, managing to hold him down on the floor.
"Kaidan! The police!" I yelled out trying to pull him off the guy.
His head finally shot up, his punching coming to a stop. "Fuck!" He yelled out getting off the guy then swooped me off my feet again, this time picking me up bridal style.
He began to run as fast as he could, my face buried in his chest screaming and laughing. He ran past the entrance of the hotel finally hiding in an ally way between two stores and gently sat me down.
We looked at each other and burst into laughter. Him laying on his back as he tried to catch his breath.
That was way more fun than I thought.

Romance"You're so pretty, you know that?" He whispers to me as he looked at my face and planted a small kiss on my lips. "Bend over for me baby." I obey what he says and stands up, legs still weak, and bend over with my legs spread apart. I feel his lips...
