I wake up from the alarms and Eric comes barging in. "We have to go now!!" He doesn't have to explain further as I hurry and get the kids as he grabs there bags and mine stuffing them with as much water and food he can. "What's happening?" I ask worried. "This ship is about to be siezed. There's a foreign ship loaded. They probably think we are a weaponry or food ship. We need to evacuate quickly before they get here."
"Why would they do that?"
"People do things for unexplained reasons all the time. Now hurry follow me." I start running behind him Kameron and Karson following along. "Mommy what's happening?" Kameron asks. "I'll explain later just keep moving. We get to a smaller motor boat. "We're getting on that?"
"Yes now hurry." I climb in as he hands the kids down to me along with the bags and extra gas. Eric climbs in the boat also. He starts it up. The other boats didn't notice because the alarm was too loud. Or so we thought. We start riding out but then another boat spots us. "Oy! They're trying to get away!" I turn and there's a man standing with a gun about to shoot Eric I try to go to tackle him down but it's too late. I hear the shot go off. Oh no not again. This can't be happening again! I can't loose two people I care about. I look up and I see Eric looking back. "Oh that's not good, we have a problem love." They missed. Or so I thought. "The engines been shot. We'll have to paddle." The man seemed satisfied and went back to the bigger ship. "Hope you can paddle las."
He hands me a paddle and I continue and eventually, I vaguely remember him telling me to get some rest. I fall asleep with Kameron and Karson. I'm just relieved they're safe. I wake up adjusting my eyes. "Morning sunshine."
"Morning." It didn't feel like we were floating anymore. I sit up and notice he's standing on sand and the boat has stopped and been secured.
"Where are we?"
"Your guess is as good as mine love."
"Great. I mumble and flop back down covering my face with my hands." Kameron and Karson start to wake up as well. "Where are we mom?" Karson asks. "Well this is going to be where we are going to be staying for awhile."
"But we want to go home." Kameron says. "Yeahh" says Karson.
"I know sweetheart. Think of it like a vacation."
"Like when we went to Disney world?"
"Yeah like that except without all the rides."
"Okay." They say
I help them out the boat. I dress Kameron into a tank top and some shorts as well. I tell Karson to take off his shirt and put some shorts on. Luckily we were able to grab a few things first. I strip down to my sports bra and athletic shorts that I found I left in Kameron bag. Eric must have put them in there. I look over and see him taking off his shirt. I can't help but bit my lower lip at how built he his. And his skin was perfect tan with his black hair looking blue in the sunlight and his green eyes. Stop what's wrong with you! You can't think like this. You just lost your husband. But then again he's gay so does that make it wrong to stare? Of course it does! Stop. "What you starin' at?" He asks glancing towards me now closer.
"Oh nothing I just-"
"You're blushing love."
"No its just hot."
"If that was the case then you would've already been red before." He says stepping closer.
"Whatever, I'm going to go check on the kids." I say as he smirks at me. I walk past him purposely bumping into him. "Well that was rude. No apology?" I flip him off.
"How's that for an apology."
