__________________________
Bang! My eyes flutter open to see darkness everything is black, the walls the ceiling, the floor, my hands and what is no longer the sea. Carefully, I pull my body up to traipse towards the huge steal doors standing in front of me. I slam my fist down as hard as I can feeling my whole body swing in protest. Bang! I hit it one more time as I collapse to the floor. Darkness.
***
I scream in pain as my whole body swings in motion grabbing the first thing in front of me and slamming it to the floor. Without hesitation I bend down and begin to pull the insanely large man up to his feet pushing his body against the wall.
'Jesus Ms Rose such theatrics! All we did was slap you awake!' I hear a familiar voice echo throughout my small steal box. My skin prickles at the sound as if nails are being hit into every part of my body.
As I turn around to see who is making my skin crawl I hear the man once shoved to the wall scurry away. Ha. Take that Mr Opot I have quick reflexes!
'So Ms Rose if you would like to follow me this way, we have a lot to discuss' the man gestures to follow him as I stand in shock at the person in front of me.
How? I haven't seen him in four years! Ever since that terrible morning. When everything was perfect.
'Ms Rose if you would?' He gestures once more.
I follow him watching his every step, each one took as carefully placed as the one before. How?
We walk for a couple of minutes him in front and me behind with at least six men trailing my footsteps. How welcoming!
'Why did you drag me here your ugliness?' I yell.
'All we be discovered Ms' he replies not acknowledging my comment.
'Okayyyy then great talk'
After a while we reach our destination of a quaint little hut that is as deserted as the desert it's self. Nothing except high stacks of liquor behind what seems to be the bar stand. He pulls out a chair smiling as I sit in it. My eyes follow his every twitch and blink making sure I don't miss anything.
'So Ms Rose how have you been?' He asks as if it is a simple question not filled with woe or loss.
'Just swell...just swell Mr Faux really! How 'bout you?' I exclaim as my palm slams down on the table.
'I see you haven't lost your quick temper in the time we have been apart' he chuckles as his hand spins his martini glass mixing all the ingredients together.
'So let's get to the point you said that all we be explained! So explain!'
'Oh okay I did hope we would catch up first' he snickers sarcastically.
I stare him straight in the eyes sending death glares throughout.
Bobby's Pov:
'So how you doing Bob? Last night went great!' George yells as I pick up the phone.
'Great thanks mate' I reply trying to sound enthusiastic.
'Try again Bob's I don't think I got the joy of marrying my sister just yet!'
'Amazing thanks George I can't get over that she said yes!'
'That's better Bobby boy!' He chuckles.
'Oh I do try!'
'Woah Bobby mate chill I was just kidding!'
'It's okay George it's my fault I didn't sleep at all last night' I reply groggily.
'Ahh okay I get Bobby say no more I don't need to hear the details I'll talk to you later after work!'
'George that's not what I meant!' I exclaim embarrassment blushing at my cheeks.
'It's alright Bob's haha! See yah!' He replies hanging the phone up as I attempt my last saving of dignity.
Fun.Work. I can't be bothered for it today all I can think about is Melody and where she is. I sigh slowly in hopes to relive some stress but it builds more as I think about how I should be thinking about my soon to be wife Layla.
Beautiful sweet Layla that didn't ditch me in a hospital in the middle of nowhere. Sweet Layla who cared for me when I lost my leg. Kind Layla who understood and was patient through everything. Layla my fiancé. Wow. Never thought I would hear that in my life time. I am evolving and with it I will forget about Melody leaving everything to her Boss.
