Chapter 14 – Hypothermia and lurking evil

last update Last Updated: 2023-08-31 06:00:11

[Fiona POV]

After I was pushed to the sea I tried swimming to the ship, well thankful for my father who forcefully taught me how to swim, but the waves don’t seem to be on my side.

Why haven’t they noticed me missing? I ask myself as I try to fight the cold heavy waves.

My father is clearly scolding me after I told him how I died, by the heavy cold waves, well he would be proud as well of how well I fought.

 I can already see that silly man telling me “at least you died in a way that made headlines, I know there are people in the news talking about your death right now,” and my mother scolding him for encouraging me to do bad things.

It wouldn’t be that bad if I died, I mean I really miss a homely feeling my parents gave me, I miss the warmth of my mom’s hugs, I miss my father’s silly pranks.

I keep seeing them as I close my eyes and it motivates me to swim even harder, fight the waves and the possible sharks I might encounter, be

    [Fiona’s POV] Selby still stand frozen at the door, “it is not what it looks like,” I yell at her but that makes her look at me smugly. “You did take my advice,” she smugly says making Heath look at me curiously. “No, I didn’t it, he was just helping me with…...” I tried to explain, Selby wasn’t buying it though, she had rushed into the room before shutting the door behind her. “Okay, how did it start? Did you finally take my advice and F him?” Selby asks, Heath only chuckled before looking at me smugly. “She is the one who made you sleep with me?” he asked happily, peculiar usually when people find out that someone is with them because of a dare or because someone told them to do it, they would be angry. “No, I slept with you because I wanted to,” I defended but it only dug me a deeper hole than anticipated. “Then why discard me after?” Heath asks acting sad, “is it your shtick to use men for s*x?” I hated how amused h

    [Third POV] Selby stood on the balcony looking at Lucas not knowing how to answer him, wondering who even told him this, she had only told Fiona about this, and Fiona hadn’t had any time alone with Lucas to tell him this, and she wouldn’t betray Selby at all. “Who told you that?” Selby says before bursting out in laughter, “come on Lucas this is just fun why break the rules we agreed on?” “But we didn’t really agree on any rules when this started, we just did,” Lucas reasoned. “So? We both know this was casual and we will keep it that way, right?” Selby defended; but the soon she finished her sentence tears started rolling off her cheeks. “Selly? Please be honest, are you in love with me?” Lucas asked firmly. “What if I was? What are you going to do about it? Lucas?” Selby calmly says with tears flowing nonstop, “nothing, you can do nothing about it but discard me, so stop asking questions you don’t the answer to.” “I will not

    [Third person POV] He was sure he was dreaming; it couldn’t be, Carl knew very well that Heath Duncan was not a man to want to be tied down. It is not what Heath specifically told him, but he had detected that his lifestyle was of a man that wanted to play around for long. But now he is not so very sure, maybe, maybe Heath fooled him, fooled him to break up with his girlfriend so he can steal her. “What did I tell you?” He hears a whisper; he has been busy staring at Heath Duncan flirt with Fiona all tour. “How did this happen? Like they are not really a thing, right?” Carl asked frantic, he was lost, he loved Fiona, she was an awesome girl, she loved him when he had nothing and built him to what he is now. But when he met Heath, he had admired his free lifestyle and Carl being a man that had never had women flock over him, he longed to be like Heath for a short while. “I don’t know, I think since this whole cruise started, ugh, bummer, I was thinking I could snatch Heath up, bu

    [Third person POV] Everything sucked, he hated how he told the truth, but he was glad he did at the same time. He has been rejected multiple times, the reason he even pursued her was how she challenged him in the most intellectual way. He truly liked her as a person, he could have loved if she was his friend, which is how he wanted to approach it at first, until he found out she hated her, then his approach became rather blurred. “Ah… boss man, you decided to come to the club tonight, that is a change, since we stepped on this cruise ship you have been scarce,” Carl chimes as he sees Heath approach the bar table. “Yeah… I have been busy with some stuff,” he says bitterly. He never thought he would hate Carl, he was aware he was a bit annoying and quite an ass-kisser, but from the day he met him he never thought he would hate him like this. “Whiskey?” Carl asked and Heath just nodded yes. “So, what brings boss man here? Problem with love?” Carl asked bitterly, though Heath and F

  • Cruise from hell   Chapter 20 – Too good to be true?

    [Fiona POV] I was woken up by Carl’s screaming, it seemed he and Heath had a little brawl, I had closed my eyes tightly hoping to sleep and not hear what they were arguing about, but it was no use as Carl’s idea of communication was yelling. The more dreadful thing to know was knowing that they were arguing about me, this is what I feared from the very beginning, though I owe Carl no loyalty, I didn’t have to cause this rift between him and Heath. I chose to ignore it, maybe if I do not acknowledge them, they will not confront me besides Heath clearly told me that he just wanted to play me from the very beginning so why should I help him. “Do not talk about Fiona like that you will regret it Carl, I am letting get away with talking to me like that because you are a very important person to me, but do not talk about Fiona like that ever.” I hear Heath roar. Just the sheer determination to get Carl to stop calling me names almost pains me, who knows if he is saying that to get me t

    [Heath’s POV] Though this development is a good one, I still feel scared, scared to lose her, I had lived my life paranoidly, unable to be comfortable in my happiness. When I thought mom and dad were finally happy together, it ended up being a hoax, when I thought father was finally over mother, he had to end his life, it was always a patten that I had feared being happy, because I feared my happiness would manifest into pain. “Please don’t hurt me,” I hear Fiona mutter in her sleep, she was crying, I hated that. It seemed like me she was also afraid to be happy, ‘seem we are much alike that I thought’ I tell myself. I look at her peaceful face, “I will not hurt you, I promise, and I will protect you from all hurt,” I see tears fall down her delicate cheeks. I gently wipe the tears, first love, this is my first love, quite unbelievable for a man my age, but here I am falling in love in my late 20s. I really hope this doesn’t go like mother and father’s love story; I hope this b

Sure, many would have liked it if I waited a bit before sleeping with him again, maybe take it slow like Selby and Lucas, you know, start with the dates, and take it slow, but you didn’t hear how that man moaned my name in his sleep so shut up. “What are you smiling at?” I am startled by Selby who catches me smiling at myself. “Nothing,” I say clearly embarrassed, I hear Heath chuckle happily. “So, anyone seen Carl?” Esther asked, completely draining my happy mood. “No, I haven’t, why are you asking,” Heath says annoyed. “I was just worried about……” She doesn’t finish her sentence as Carl joins us. “Morning,” he coldly says, his face bruised up and still smelli

I was just so excited to see you. I didn’t mean to hurt her.”“Mimi from where? I don’t know any Mimi,” Heath says, “and please refrain from manhandling me again or there will be hell. A matter of fact, I am surprised you are still alive after hurting my girlfriend.”I chuckled evilly, Heath had a past. I knew that when I met him, but his past had nothing to do with me, so this woman had no right to try and bully me.“Can we not waste our energy darling, I was about to win,” I teased, not paying

    [Fiona’s POV]Gabriel really did a good job picking this hotel. It was homely, the elderly couple that greeted us at the reception and everyone who showed us to our room.They were both friendly and welcoming, and it made me happy.“This place is cool,” I say happily looking around, it was not a five-star hotel.It was a few stories, built with every architectural care needed.“Yes, it is,” he says, his face is clearly genuine, it might not be a five-star golden heights, but it is enough for me.I am still in awe of ho protective Dean had acted, the way he stood up for me really turned me on.“I will never get over of seeing you stand for me,” I tell him, he grins.“Well, I will always stand up for my woman, because she is the best,” he giggles before taking my lips.He mumbles something under our kiss, but I am too engulfed in the dirty thoughts of him inside me to even care.Taking a chance with Heath Duncan was the best idea ever.

Sir…. Last time you came here with someone you requested separate bedrooms.”“And? This time I have told you specifically, I need one room since I am bringing my GIRLFRIEND with me.”He is shocked and rather embarrassed. He bows his head in shame before saying, “I apologize sir, I will get your rooms at your request.”That is not good enough, the way he looked cocky after saying his first words bugged me.How dare he feel so confident in insulting his Fiona?“You are apologizing to the wrong person,” I firmly said.His face is shocked at first, he looks at Fiona with so much contempt, I loudly scoff at his reaction.“It is fine, Heath, he doesn’t need to.”“She is right. Why don’t we just get on with our day,” the way

    [Fiona’s POV]With Selby’s father gone, it was time for Heath to commit to his promise to take him on a vacation and commit he did.“Vegas? I had always wanted to go to Vegas, how did you know?” I squealed happily, a man who does his homework is my type of man.“I am close to your friends, plus there is so much that could happen in Vegas that could be good for me.”I rolled my eyes at that, since his conversations with Mr. Green, he had been a nuisance, “I am not marrying you in Vegas Heath.”A beautiful laugh fills the room, he is so beautiful when he laughs, it makes you want to just smile at him.“Come pack your bags, Vegas isn’t going to explore itself,” he says, and I rush to our bedroom, “careful, you might fall.”This is the best gift ever, travelling the world. I have put that on hold since I started working. Each year I always tell myself, it is not time yet.But now, this feels right, travelling more. Maybe I should start now, stop worrying about work and travel more.I coul

I hate how effortless he seems. We haven’t even started, but I can already see us losing.And losing we did, again, and again, and again, “come on Heath we are not winning this, can’t we just give up already.”“You know if we give up, we are not getting the blessing to date/marry his daughters,

    [Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a

    [Heath’s POV] The tall elderly man was surely intimidating, not only his voice but his build as well; an elderly man with a sweet smile. “Dad,” I heard Fiona chime. I am completely confused by this. Fiona’s parents had passed on, so why is she calling that man dad? She quickly runs to hug the couple, who embraces her back warmly, “I miss you so much, how have you been?” “Huh…... miss us? Don’t lie child, you could have visited if you missed us,” the elderly man said, earning a smack on his head from his wife. “Robert, don’t talk to a child like that, in your old age you still act childish,” the lady says, “don’t mind him child, you know what your father is like.” “I understand mom, this grinch doesn’t want to let go of his ways,” she teases. This confuses me even further. Did she lie about her parents dying? “And who is this fine young man,” the lady says, moving closer to me and Lewis. “Oh…. Um…. Mom, this is my boyfriend Heath,” Fiona says shyly. “Heath, these are Sleby’s p

    [Fiona’s POV] “Okay Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked him, he nervously sat on the couch across from me. I had moved back to Heath’s place after the talk with Gian and Clover, though I would see Lucas now and then when he visited Heath or when he drove Selby, to come and see me, he was kind of distant. “Um…. So… I have been thinking,” he speaks, “it might seem too quick or maybe I am rushing things, but I feel like this is the right time.” “The right time for me?” “I want to ask Selby to marry me,” he says. I feel mixed emotions. Marriage? Now? He might be right about this too suddenly. “But…. Lucas, you haven’t introduced her to your family yet and you haven’t met her family either,” I reasoned. “Oh…. I am going to meet her parents next month. I plan to ask her father for her hand in marriage,” he said so confidently. I looked at him bewildered, “ask Selby’s father for her hand in marriage the first time you met him?” I asked. He nodded confused as to why I was surpris

It was busy.”“It is okay, Selby came, she brought me the tasty sushi I like so much,” Clover says, “I missed it since I couldn’t eat it during the pregnancy.”“That is very thoughtful of her.” Fiona says awkwardly, “is anything the matter?”“How have you wound been? I was so engrossed with my baby I didn’t ask,” Clover says.“I am managing, it gets sore here and there, but it is getting better,” Fiona explains.Heath’s face had lit up, it seemed they had finally noticed that his worries were not just him crying wolf.“I talked to Jennie, she
