A blinding light stung Pari's eyes, but her body rocked as if in a cradle. Her eyes took a few seconds to get accustomed to the brightness. The last memory was her taking the taxi from the airport on the way to the resort. The taxi driver had looked a bit suspicious with a sunglasses and a mask. But she didn't think much as it was sunny, and the taxi had her hotel's logo.
When her eyes finally registered her surroundings, she was beyond confused. Rather than the cement road, there was boundless water and in place of the taxi, she was in a boat. It was a room, well-furnished with little circular windows that let in the oceanic view.
Still hazy, she gathered herself and stood by the bed she was on. It was then she realized her clothes were changed, even the undergarments. A bile rose from her stomach. She was kidnapped and mostly likely assaulted. She felt fear, but anger as well. She quickly looked around for something to grab on, weirdly she found a golf stick. She slowly inched towards the door and climbed the stairs that led to the deck. It was a mini-cruise that could hold 10 people at most. There was no one there.
There was another lodge on top, it seemed like the kitchen. At the corner stood a man looking into the shelves. This bastard had touched without consent. She would leave without giving him a good bashing. She knew a how to fight, though not at a professional level. Just enough to teach someone a lesson.
She grabbed the golf stick, inched closer and swung it against his head as hard as she could. He almost dodged it, almost. How was that possible? She made sure to make as little sound as possible, even held her breath. He must be a professional, that's the only explanation. She didn't waste a moment; she lifted her leg. As she was about to crash it against his spine...
"DAMN IT PARI!" A familiar voice shot back. She knew that voice.
"ARIN!!!" she dropped the stick and looked at the figure flabbergasted. He finally turned around; it was Arin. He clutched his head that was bleeding slightly.
"What are you doing here? No, what am I doing here? How...?" Pari began stuttering, there was too much to process. It was like watching a movie from its intermission, with no clue what led to the moment we are in.
"Too many questions at once. But you look stunning, flashy clothes suit you as well love" Arin smirked. Pari was relieved it was Arin yet scared.
"How dare you Arin?"
"Calm down, I swear I didn't do anything, maybe just peaked" He chuckled, eyeing her up and down lustfully. She was wearing a transparent wrap that cleared showed the bikini, as it barely reached her buttocks.
"You kidnapped me!" Pari shouted. Everything has become a joke for this man.
"I wouldn't say kidnapped."
"Then what is this called?"
"I would say..um.. upgradation"
"What?"
"Look there" Arin pointed to a distant island. "That's where we will be spending our holidays, together."
"What is this place?"
"My resort, the perfect getaway love"
"No" Pari stepped back "I don't want to. I just want to get away from you"
"Ummm won't happen" Arin chided her like a little child. This man was crazy, doing whatever he pleased. Pari turned around to run to the room, a phone, something, she must contact someone. But before she could Pari held her wrist, he pulled her back.
Pari crashed into his hard chest, as she turned around to glare at his roughness, he pinched her bottom lip between his thumb and index. She couldn't speak nor get away. Arin didn't lose a moment, he bite and began sucking, fondling her lip with his tongue.
He left her for a moment, watching her flustered, red and trying to catch her breath.
"Should we continue what we left off at the prison?" Arin asked, one of his eyebrows twerking up. When he made that expression, it meant only one thing 'Don't mess with me'.
His gripped loosened a bit.
"Be a good girl, or I won't hesitate to strip you here, afterall it's just two of us, no one is going to save you here."
Pari freed herself from him. Her only choice was to listen to him, that was the only way she could keep this insane man off her. She glared at him, huffed and turned around storming away to the room she woke up in. She decided to lock herself in, she didn't want to be around him after what he did.
But just as she reached the end of the stairs, his warning strung loud:
"Stay where I can see you, if you go to the bedroom, I'll take it as a sign that you want it" she felt like she could hear his annoying smirk.
"Whatever" she muttered. She turned around and loudly stomped to the deck and sat herself on the cushion. She was angry, doesn't she even deserve a peaceful holiday? How much more must she do, must bear?
One could see the deck clearly from the kitchen/lodging area. She brought her knees close to her chest as she staired into the vast open ocean and a miniscule piece of land far away. She couldn't help but worry what the future would hold for her once they reach that island. As her thoughts spiraled, Arin was busy cooking in the kitchen. Every few minutes he would look at her back facing him, it gave an odd sense of comfort and reassurance knowing she's right in front of him. A semblance of their peaceful days, before Dr. Palentine barged into their little haven.
He continued mixing the salad, Pari's favorite salad, as he smiled and whispered to himself.
"Good girl"
Unbeknownst to them, this little bubble of peace that enveloped their mini-cruise would soon pop. That island will push their relationship to the brink.
