Eric's POV,I was laughing so hard at keera's bewildered expression when I said, she'd probably cost a few million dollars if I decided to sell her...She must have thought that I was serious because the look on her face matched that of fear...I wanted to play along, make her think I was really serious but I just couldn't stop myself from laughing.Ever since keera got here, I've laughed more than I ever did my entire life and for some odd reason am glad I told her to come back to the cave... I was bent over while laughing, so I didn't see keera getting up from the rock where she was sitting.The Next thing I know is that I was falling, I grabbed onto the only thing I could reach, which happens to be keera's hand to stop myself from falling, which of course was a frail attempt considering my built body, and keera's small one...So before I knew it we were both on the ground.Oh, well I was on the ground, keera was sprawled on top of me...I groaned when my body made an impact with t
Eric's POVNow, I really regret suggesting to play this game, as I stood there in just my boxers...Okay, my regrets were not because I was standing in just my boxers, my regrets were because Keera also stood a few meters away in just the boxers I brought her and her pale blue almost transparent Lacey bra...A part of me knew nothing good was gonna come out of playing *strip or dare.A few minutes earlier"Yes, yes what's the game, and what are the rules?Keera said while bobbing her head like some 3-year-old...After racking my brain for a few minutes, keera continued to stare at me like a 3-year-old waiting to see a magic trick, I finally came up with the idea of playing strip or dare..." Okay...what are the rules," keerah asked excitedly."Well basically I dare you to do something, and you pick either to do the dare or strip. No cheating, plus you can't dare someone to take off their clothes or mimic a person's dare," I explained and she appeared to think of it for a while, before
Keera's POVI woke up this morning terrified of the nightmare I had.I was so confused about it. What made the dream terrifying was the fact that it felt like a memory, it felt so real like I've lived that same moments before...I was covered in a cold sweat when I opened my eyes, I quickly sat up after realizing it was all a nightmare.I was sitting on the bed for a while, trying to catch my breath and also remember what exactly the dream was about, but for some odd reason, I can't seem to remember.All I know is that I was terrified and I certainly hope it was not a memory.I looked to the other bed and saw that Eric was no longer there, he must have gone to take his bath.I stood up from the bed after discarding my blanket I went outside the cave...The air was a little bit chilly today, I guess it would soon be Winter...I hope we find a way to get out of this place before Winter begins fully Because if we don't then we would probably die before winter ends.I went to the waterfal
Keera's POVWhen Eric said he couldn't tell me anything at least for now, I didn't want to pry, he has a point though I mean, I'm a stranger he just met...Maybe he will someday when he learns to trust me."That's ok man," I told Eric while patting his back...Eric just turned and said"Trust Keerah to always turn a serious situation into a joke"And we both laughed..."Hey wanna see something fun?" Eric asked. "of course, what is it?""Follow me," he said and started to go in a direction that was as if he were going around the cave.We kept walking, the road was becoming hilly, and I started to doubt Eric's definition of fun...Like can climbing up a hill be defined as fun?"Seriously Eric is this what you call fun? Climbing a hill? You should have told me it was a hill climb and then I would have definitely passed on the offer,"I complained for the umpteenth time."Patience Keerah you'd see it was all worth it" Eric tries to persuade me."I doubt it would though," I mumbled back wh
Eric's POVWhen I asked keera if she wanted to hear a secret I didn't know which of the secrets I should tell her first.I contemplated on whether or not I should tell her about the fact that I know who she is, or should I just tell her what really made me come here?I later settled with telling her we have a way out of here...We can go home before winter starts, I said while looking at her to see her expression...Her face was blank for a few moments before she realized what I just said and looked at me with eyes as wide as saucers..."Are you serious? How did you find a way? Did you contact a rescue team? How long before they arrive?" She asked all at the same time."Shit! keera calm down, which one of these questions do you want me to answer first?" I asked while smiling at her confused state..."All of it if possible..."She said back probably eager to hear the whole story..."Well for starters I came here on my own with a helicopter, I needed to get away from reality even if it
Someone in Vienna's POVI was sitting in my office when drew came in."Boss, there's no news yet.""And Why is that?"I asked anger lacing through my voice."Am sorry boss we searched everywhere""What do you mean by you searched everywhere?So you mean he vanished from the face of the earth?"How can the best of my men not be able to carry out a simple task? I thought out loud..."And what about the girl did you find her? ""No boss "Find them I said, my voice thundering in the whole room.And he hurriedly left my office after saying "yes boss"I've been trying to find two people who vanished the face of the earth.One was someone who needs to be found and the other someone who needs to be punished.It's either they both are so good at hiding or my boys are beginning to slack off. If it's the latter I'd have to do something about I can't afford to let slackers work for me.*****Eric's POVThe ear-piercing sound I heard, caused me to start running in the direction I heard the sound f
Keera's POVWe sat under the tree with Eric in silence after I told him about not wanting to leave the island.Neither of us said a word for a while, my mind was filled with a lot of possibilities of what could happen when I returned...And for a moment I just wanted to stay here on this island and never return.I wanted to ask Eric about my family but refrained from asking because am not sure what I even wanna know about them...All these were going through my head and I didn't know when I fell asleep...The next thing I know was I woke up with my head leaned on Eric's shoulders.I don't know if I did while I was asleep or if Eric was the one who tilted my head to rest on his shoulders...This position is not as comfortable as you'd think, on the contrary, it's horrible now my neck feels like it's carried tons of heavy boxes...I raised my head and looked at Eric, his eyes were closed and I thought maybe he was asleep so I tried to get up cautiously so I don't wake him up but then he
Keera's POVEric and I went back to the cave after catching some bird that looked like a hawk but I don't know if it's really a hawk.When we entered into the cave, Eric kept our game on the ground and started to make fire. He had already removed the unwanted part at the site of the hunt so all that's left to do was roast it.I watched with keen interest as he made the fire and roasted our dinner like a professional, which made me wonder how long he'd been here for.We were both quiet, none of us made any attempt to say anything, Eric only concentrated on making our dinner ready, while I just watched him silently.After a while, Eric brought down the meat and cut it before handing me a piece, and we both ate it in another wave of silence.After we finished our dinner, Eric stood up and asked if I wanted to come outside with him, I then got up and followed him.We went outside and sat down beside the lake, we sat not too far from each other. I raised my head and looked up at the night
