My Philippine Fear

One

It was a week before the wedding when we found ourselves traveling Asia. Little did we know that getting caught up in the moment could get us into so much trouble.

As we headed on the plane from Tokyo to Manila, I looked over at my future husband and smiled "I love you! Only a few days until I am going to be your wife. I am so thrilled to marry you!"

My gorgeous man flashed those beautiful blue eyes in my direction "You have been faithful, loyal, sweet, and wonderful to me these past three years. I would never imagine marrying anyone else. I love you beautiful."

Upon arriving at the airport in Manila, we step off the plane and get our bags.  I grab his hand which only lasts a moment before he takes that arm and wraps it around my waist.  My eyes locked with his yet again "So where do we want to start baby?"

The handsome man holding me while we walked answered "Anywhere babe!  I am just happy to be here with the love of my life!"

I reached over for a kiss when I swear there are eyes on us.  I brush it off like it is nothing, but after a while of walking through the gorgeous countryside I feel like those eyes are still watching us. 

I ask curiously "Ryan?  Do you feel like we are being watched?  Am I being paranoid?"

Ryan answered calmly "I think you are paranoid love.  Nobody is behind us.  Let's keep walking."

We walked and walked until we found a nice sandy area where we assumed we were alone.  My lips met his for a sweet kiss...hands sliding over his back hoping to gain control of my feelings.  Unable to control anything, I find myself lifting his shirt over his muscular body and tossing it to the side.  His arms reaching beneath me to lift up my backside.  His lips meeting mine for the most passionate kiss ever.  My body slowly surrenders to our heated passions as we lay there on the sand. 

Our adventure turns scary moments later when we feel the eyes of at least one person closely watching us.  We fix our clothing and feel like we have to hide.  Not knowing that anything we were engaging in was against the law. 

We were not married yet, and we had no clue that the law in that country forbade couples from engaging in sexual contact before marriage. Especially in public.

As a small fraction of the country had become westernized, there were definitely some folks into sex trafficking and a variety of other illegal activities. One such group had their eyes on some tourists. Including a few Americans.

I had absolutely no idea that there were more than one group of people after us. Following us. Watching our every move.
