Somethings Off About You

We parked near the dock, got are bags and Sammy by the rope. We then rushed to the owner and maintainer of the boat. He smiled at me and handed the map and boat license over to Harry. "Thank you" my husband said in a firm voice. "You're welcome. H-h-hope you enjoy (hiccup) your loooooooong honeymoon." The man's voice was raspy and his breath smelled of whiskey. He was clearly drunk and enjoyed his job a little too much. We headed for the boat with our stuff and the dog. It was a pretty nice boat. There were four cushioned seats, a small bathroom on the lower level with a separate room and a bed. We had about a two day trip on the boat and I brought pills cause I get seasick. Harry learned how to control the boat really fast and thankfully for night-time, there was auto drive but my husband insisted on driving at night for my guaranteed safety or whatever. The jet started from the back of the boat and when we left the dock, everything felt too real. Night came and it got chilly. I'd say about 34degrees Celsius. I laid down on the uncomfortable mattress of the bed and looked up at the ceiling. I stared for a while and then finally snapped out of my daze when Sammy jumped up on the bed. I pulled the sheets up and closed my eyes. It was pitch black whether I closed my eyes or not. I waited for my husband to join me by my side. It would be much warmer and I would feel more secure. I tried to fall asleep but I couldn't. I got up and went upper deck. It was really dark and I couldn't see Harry. "Harry! Where are you? Answer my voice." I said nervously. Someone answered in a slurred voice. I could not understand.  but it did not sound like Harry. It sounded like an old man. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. It started to rain so it became even colder. I hurried back down to the room, got my jacket and hurried back upper deck. "Elisha!" I called out again. It began to downpour. I started to feel for Elisha. I touched something soft and it was breathing, a tall like human. I stumbled back in fear and felt a flash light behind my left hand. I grabbed it, turned it on and shined it on the direction of the person. It was Harry but something was wrong. His face was very red and he was panting. "Are you all right? What's going on?!" I asked concerned. "It's nothing. I'm fine. I just need rest cause I'm Super exhausted." I took his response even though I knew something was definitely not right. Woman's instinct. We walked down the steps to the room together. We laid down and I rested my head on his shoulder. Much warmer now. Still unsure, I stayed alert for another twenty minutes but fell asleep after. The next morning, I was up early and had a few sips of coffee to wake me up from not much sleep, then I woke Harry up. He seemed to be moody. His eyes were blood shot and he was shouting, Harry never shouts. Rambling on about the fish I made for breakfast; that it wasn't good enough. I sat with the dog on a chair on the upper deck. Ignoring him and hoping he'd get over himself. I assumed it was just him being sleep deprived but it continued throughout the day. Finally I broke out of giving into his demands. It was seven-thirty pm. "Who are you?! Remember, us, one people, a couple, Together. We are here because we are supposed to have fun. Don't continue with this pointless attitude. I don't want to fight. Especially since we've only been married for 1week." He looked at me for a while with fierce eyes then loosened up and smiled a bit. "Sunset." He said with a sigh of some kind of relief. I looked behind me and there it was. A beautiful sky full of color. "I guess everything's okay now?"
