Life On The Lam

3

"What are you guys doing in here? you know nobody's allowed in my room" He roars as he climbs out of bed.

I look to Duncan, terrified. He grabs my hand and pulls me out the door of Chris's room and suddenly we're running through the halls. If Chris found out that we were the ones who burned down the island after catching us breaking into his room he wouldn't think twice about calling the cops and sending us to jail for a long time. My life would be ruined. No future, no career, no friends, no life. This would be the end of my dreams, everything I've ever worked for would be destroyed. I would be a failure.

We run faster, his hand still clinging tightly to mine. We dash through the long corridors, Chris following close behind. We finally make it to the deck and slam the door behind us, locking it with a satisfying click. We breathe a sigh of relief and catch our breath. 

"Duncan? What do we do now?"

"All we have to do is drop a raft and sail to shore, there's a big island not far from here."

"And how exactly do you know that?"

"Are you questioning my methods?" He asks playfully with a chuckle.

I can't help but giggle back

"Never."

Before I can move to help he's already grabbed the raft and hurled it off the ship. A bead of sweat slowly sliding down from his neon green mohawk to his unibrow. How is it possible that a human man can be so god damn attractive?

I hear Chris still yelling and hammering his fist on the door.

He's standing at the edge of the ship, his hand reached out towards me. I take it, placing my other hand on the railing and swinging my legs over. I stand on the other side of the railing, holding on and waiting as Duncan hops over with ease.

"Show off" I tease

"You know it princess" He says with a wink and a sly smile

I feel my knees go weak, still envisioning his perfect smile in my head. 

"Ladies first." He says, gesturing for me to jump into the raft.

"You're insane if you seriously think I'm about to jump first."

I  catch him roll his eyes, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He leaps off the ship, landing gracefully on the raft and reaching his arms out. Is he really about to catch me? I push every doubt from my head, closing my eyes I jump.
