When finances get in the way, Steve discovers that actualizing his wife's life long dream to visit the ocean may be harder than he anticipated. (My submission for #PlanetOrPlastic & only 487 words long.)

The ending is actually quite hopeful in my opinion, but you have to get through some hardships in between. I promise it's unique and worth the read.
This is the first writing contest I've ever entered and I'm so excited! Leave a comment and let me know if you're submitting a story for #PlanetOrPlastic and I'll comment on yours. :)
Good luck everyone!

ALESSANDRO
"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am." He scoffed and leaned against the wall behind with hands in his pants pockets "Why? Because I have money?" What? "Are you impressed by this mansion?" I can be scared of Dad but he is no one to address me as a gold digger and say bullshit. "I don't care if you take me as a gold digger. You are no one who I am bound to explain anything to." I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me.

When the Tide Rolls In [COMPLETED]
The tides are pulled and pushed, high and low. They never can find comfort, always changing. They run from the unknown open ocean and seek haven on the sands of the beaches. Then, they run back into the sea and away from the blistering sun, blinding the Earth with its light. One danger is escaped, only to be followed by another. Fear can kill. So can trust. There is no middle ground. One can only be pushed and pulled between the two. The motion, like the tides, continues forever. Or until the fear is overcome, and something special comes along. -- Join Samantha and Nick as they confront fear, trust, and the tides together. It all starts with a phone call, a boat, and twenty one million dollars. -- All Rights Reserved 2016. Seriously, this story is mine. Please don't copy or use without permission. WARNING!

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.
