Matthew was so charming on the way home.

“Look Diane, dolphins”

Diane smiled and watching the dolphins still they were out of sight.

“We can swim if you like?” Matthew had a nice smile and I’m sure I would be safe but I never been in the deep water. I had a mix fear of deep water all my life though I can swim.

“I’ll think maybe another time. It’s been a long weekend so going home would be best.”

“Ok we will be there in about 20 minutes, get some lunch set up in the mean time.”

Lunch was quickly pulled out by the staff. Nothing to fancy, sandwiches and fruit.

Matthew sat close beside me.

“I know we don’t know each other well but I would feel better if you would allow me to give you a gift?”

Matthew pulled out a box that was small and blue. He slowly open the box to reveal a purple bracelet.

“Oh, that is very lovely. I’d be happy to wear it.” I love jewelry and purple is my favorite color.

“Let me be perfect honest. This bracelet has a tracking device but its is only active if you press this button. If you press it twice quickly it’ll send me an emergency alert. It won’t go off if you bump it or put pressure on it while working or sleeping. It can tell a difference between pressure and finger press. It’s the only way I can think to keep you safe. I really feel responsible for your safety at this point. Had I known your x was Dave I would of never took you to the Island.”

“You took me? I thought it was a crew mess up.”

“It was but I could of instructed them to not go there, had I known”

“Why does my x mean I could be in danger?”

The boat was pulling up to the dock.

Matthew put the bracelet on my arm.

“Don’t worry I won’t know where you are unless you press the button. Here is a phone with my number programmed and the app with this bracelet and how it works. It was developed by my brothers company, so I know it’s safe.”

I don’t know what to say or think so I put the phone in my purse. Too many odd things have happened in a short time.

“I’ll have my men escort you to your car with your belongings. I really should be going because, if it ok with you, I’ll be back this weekend if you’re up for another date?”

Matthew eyes are so inviting

“Sure that sounds like fun but maybe something more calm next time.” I look into his sea blue green eyes and kissed him goodbye. He wrapped his arms around me tight. I’m going to miss him. Something about him makes me feel happy.

Thankfully, the car ride home was uneventful. I was relieved to be home. Back to normal of home. Some times coming home was as good as the start of vacation. Especially after this crazy weekend I had. My ex, Dave, was into his own business and it sounds like he pushing others out. Why didn’t he tell me anything about it?

Matthew is charming and it would be nice to see him soon. Dave lost his opportunity with me and it sounds like he is up to no good.

Hopefully Matthew business is legit but I’ll have to find that out. It would be nice to have a strong man with a good job, Matthew has his own company. If things work out I could help out with my skills.

I walked in my apartment and my face went to an immediately to a look off disappear.

Everything was empty. No living room furniture, nothing but my clothes and my bed were left in the apartment. I found I still had food and kitchen dishes. Tears were running down my face as looked where the end tables and coffee table used to sit. They were from my parents house.

I don’t have much from my parents so that lost hurt even more. It is just stuff. Why did I come back here? I never really wanted a career. I could get a job anywhere. I just didn’t to jump into any. I should of just trusted my instincts and stayed with Matthew.

As I laid in bed with pain in my heart and my mind replaying the days with Matthew. I am unsure who to trust. Part of me says I needed no one. I can rebuild I have a good career and I can continue to progress in my career. The other half of me wanted a strong man to take care of me when I was weak. I try so hard to hide that side. With Matthew it was crazy but also a fantasy. I don’t need a man to be rich but that didn’t hurt either.

As my thoughts ran wild and tears ran out, I closed my eyes to fall asleep. It was only late afternoon but I was tired from this weekend. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I’ll have to figure out where to go next.
