The year is 1994. The Artist finds himself in a situation no one ever thought could happen. How does he get out of it, or perhaps more importantly, how did he get there in the first place?

**The Artist POV**
**10:03 p.m.**
It's hard to believe it's after 10 already. Where the hell is Lani?
She told me she was going to be home by 8 tonight so we could get to the cabin before midnight. That way, we could get up and already be there, allowing us just to relax and enjoy the day tomorrow. But now she's already over two hours late.
As I tap my foot with impatience and keep looking at my watch, time just seems to be dragging. C'mon mama...where are you?
Finally at 10:37 she walks in the door looking apologetic as she offers me a quick hello kiss.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long. A last minute emergency popped up with one of the patients on my floor just as I was headed out the door, and I couldn't get out of there until just a few minutes ago," she offers, meeting my eyes with chagrin.
"Is the person okay?" I ask, concern lacing my golden eyes.
"For the time being, he looks stable. But he is 101 with severe dementia, so honestly it's anyone's guess at this point. He'd somehow managed to fall out of bed, but it didn't look like he'd broken anything," she replies, filling me in. "He was resting comfortably when I left, and his daughter was just coming in to check on him."
With an explanation like that, I couldn't help but to forgive her. ''Good to know the old guy's got someone looking after him," I respond sincerely, before finishing with, "It's okay, mama. If you're still game for leaving tonight, I'm ready whenever you are," as I glance toward my packed bags.
"I just need to throw a few extra things together, and then we can be on our way. If we make good time, we should be able to get there by 1:30," she tosses over her shoulder, on her way to quickly finish packing.
"Anything I can do to help?" I ask her retreating back.
"Just go ahead and bring your things down to the car. By the time you're done, I should be ready to go."
I quickly loaded up my few bags before helping Lani with hers, and we were on our way.

**2:47 a.m.**
Unfortunately, the ride out here took longer than we'd planned. It turns out the cabin is located in a very remote wooded area, which made it next to impossible to find. Next time we should ask for better directions...
However, after several missed turns and stops to ask for directions, we eventually managed to find our way here safely, though by now it was already very late.
We were both exhausted, yet excited to finally be here. We decided just to grab the things we needed for tonight, before heading into the cabin to explore. We'll come back out for everything else in the morning...
As it turns out, the place was more rustic than Lani had expected, probably only about 600 square feet in total. The cabin in its entirety was comprised of a bathroom, small kitchenette, small living area and some mysterious covered furniture. I'll have to investigate what's under there tomorrow... ...and to both our surprise, a single large king sized bed. I'm liking this already...
I look over toward Lani with a smirk, meeting her reluctant blue gaze with my own amber one.
"Think again, mister. Tonight you're taking the couch," she retorts, twinkle in her eye. Guess again....
"I don't think so little mama. Seems there's room for two to me..." I toss back, beginning a playful banter.
"I'm too tired to bother fighting over this," she replies with a chuckle and a large yawn as she starts digging through her bag. "Let's just use this as a boundary down the centre of the mattress. You stick to your half, and I'll stick to mine." She pulls out a large body pillow, sticking it in the middle of the bed with a wink and a grin. "See? Problem solved."

**A couple of hours later**
I look across the bed to see Lani sound asleep. She pretty much passed right out as soon as she hit the bed, but I find myself wide awake and restless. Seems I can't sleep with her so close...and yet so far away...
At this point, frustration has started to set in. That's it...
I make a split second decision to send the body pillow the way it came, and kick it off the foot of the bed. Moving as quickly and quietly as I can so I don't wake her, I carefully maneuver her into my arms and snuggle up behind her. Much better...
Before I know it, I settle into a deep and restful sleep.

**Iolani POV**
I woke up the next morning only to find myself spooned within the circle of his arms, morning erection against my backside and his warm lips finding all the sensitive spots on my neck. Mmmm...fat lot of good that body pillow did...
I decide to give him back a little of his own, moving my hips against his hot covered flesh, and was rewarded with a soft, almost inaudible groan. "Good morning," I offer with a moan and a sleepy smile, as his teeth find a particularly tender spot just behind my right ear.
I hear a muffled, "Morning..." in reply as he turns his head, lips meeting mine in a good morning kiss...all as his hands move upward to cup my cloth covered breasts, thumbs ghosting over my nipples. Damn...
Just as I let out a small groan, my stomach decides to make its presence known with a loud growl.
In response, I hear a low chuckle. "Looks like little mama's hungry. Let's see what I can find around here to eat... " he says softly, releasing me from his grasp as he gets up reluctantly to put together a light breakfast.
Wow....talk about saved by the bell!

"Lani!" I hear from the kitchen area a few minutes later.
"Yeah...what is it?!" I call back from inside the bathroom, where I'm getting ready for the day.
"Uh...I think we should go out for breakfast..."
"Okay...why?" I ask questioningly, stomach still rumbling. That doesn't sound good...
I hear some continued rustling coming from the kitchen. "Ain't nothing in here except some expired Spam and moldy cheese..."
