You are hungry? He said as she used her hand to cover her tummy like she could prevent the sound from coming out, Beck shakes his head slowly as he make his way from her.
Where are you going? She asked. Food, I need to get us food, you are hungry.
But...
Don't tell lies, your tummy says it all. She falls her face in shame, as Beck make his way towards the coconut, that probably had fallen off the tree he had found nearby, for now, he doesn't want to go far from her, Alexia's face brighten when he saw him coming with coconut on his arm, he stretches for her but she also realized that there is also a banana tree, she stands to go towards it. It seems luck is on their side, they are not going to starve to death.
Hey miss, you shouldn't go anywhere, you should take this...
But...
No, but, I have no idea what this island has, you never can tell they might be dangerous snakes, wild animals, or even predators, so you shouldn't go off my sight.
Alexia kind of sees reason in that, so she stays put and folds her hand across her body, she is still very much wet, and she needs to take those wears off her body, never had he thought he could be stranded on the island with a female, a total stranger, he rakes his brain, this part of the island might be uninhibited, what about the other part, could they be alien or wild animals or maybe beast, he thought inwards as he makes his way to the boat, hoping he could see something.
Probably, all hope is not lost, just maybe, the rescue team will get to them before everything gets messed up, their chances of survival, are pretty high, as long as that little thing over there, follow all his rules and procedure
He went back to the book that he had capsized and turned it over, he is 100% sure that the boat is no longer working but it might serve as a shelter at night for the time being. His face beamed with a sweet smile when he saw that the boat compartment, was well secure and he could find some canned drinks and canned food, with bottled water and even some wear, it's a good thing that part of the boat didn't open, but it seems the clothes are wet, which means water got into it, so he hung them for them to dry.
Beck returns with the canned drink and food and water, his eyes bulge when he finds out that, Alexia is now half nude as a result of her taking off her wears.
What are you doing? He asked as he avails his gaze.
Sorry, the clothes were wet and I felt that if it remains on me, I might catch a cold again. She said acting shy, she have no choice that was the reason, she took off the clothes. He gave her a little nod.
I found it somewhere in the compartment, but it's wet, so I spread it to get dry, so we have something to change to and here, food, I found them also in the boat, so we don't have to take it too much of the coconut water, it might cause diarrhea.
I have a lot of things to do later, I need to prepare a good shelter for us, probably look for crack rock, so I could get clean water for drinking...
Let's eat first!!! Alexia's voice distracted him, he nodded to her and then take his place a bit far from her, since she is still with just her undies. He open another canned and eat from it, as Alexia feed on hers, she had abandoned the coconut and now eating the canned food, his eyes didn't leave the canned, he was eating from, too scared to look at Alexia, he is afraid he might do something to her, he has no idea, the reason; he is longing for her, he had been with women, different women but never had he get arousals so easily.
After the meal, Alexia fall into another round of sleep, she is way too tired and stressed; so Beck let her rest after all, there is nothing she could do for him, she looks fragile, he gathered more palm branches, gathered both large and small, since he will be needing much to build a firm shelter, that could withstand, sun; rain and even the wind.
It takes him long hours to be able to build the shelter, Alexia was still very much asleep when he was done with the shelter, he decided to gather more wood to make a fire, they need it to keep warm during the night
After sleeping for hours, she opened her eyes slowly as she saw the firm shelter already erected.
Whoa! This is lovely. Alexia said as she open her eyes and run towards Beck. Why didn't you wake me, I would have helped. She said admiring the structure.
I felt maybe, you should rest, so you don't get worn out because of stress and you were sleeping peacefully, here, it's dry now, you could wear this. Beck said stretching wears to her, he is trying so hard to control himself for not doing something silly to Alexia, he really can't understand himself right now, all these feelings are new to him.
What are these for? Alexia asked pointing at the wood, as she fits into the wear that Beck had given to her.
Oh, that, we need fire, so I will make fire later.
Do you know to start a fire with a stick? Alexia asked with her face smiling bright, Beck can't understand Alexia, she is always excited about little things.
Of cause, if you want to learn how to make it, I could teach you.
Really? She said almost screaming at the top of her voice, yet again her childish actions are enticing him, he turned his gaze, and instead of replying to her, he went further to explain.
We need the fire, to keep away from dangerous animals, and the smoke could also serve as a signal to locate us and also warm at night.
Her face goes sour, when she realized she will be sleeping alone, she is not the type that sleeps alone.
Are you alright? He asked, she nodded to him. Okay, I will need to prepare, a gaff, so I could get us fish from the sea, she again nodded to him, she watch as he made the tools in such a short time, she will admit, he is skillful, how could a man be so intelligent and well skill, that he could make all this within a short time.
Alexia had never admired any man all her life apart from Xander, the one she is supposed to get married to, she would have been happily married yesterday probably on her honeymoon now but right now, she is stalked in nowhere, with a total stranger.
Right now, his bare chest is visible to Alexia, his perfectly well build physique is what drive her crazy, she falls her eyes when she saw Beck raise his head from what he was doing. She realized she had been ogling too much at him, it was not just a mere gaze but that of admiration and she felt it was bad. What do you think to happen to those two? She asked out of the blue.
I don't know, probably the military gets hold of their bodies. Beck said.
What if they are eaten my shark? I bet the shark is now a demon. She said and Beck look at her. You see, if you mixed one bad egg with twenty good eggs, you found out that, all twenty will get spoil, it's the same thing with Zach, he is a bad man, so the shark will become bad after eating him.
He gave her a small smile, and before she could even take notice of it, the smile is wash off his face, the mere mention of that man's name, gave her goosebumps, that horrible sight, it all comes into her memory, for the first time, she had gun press to her neck, she felt she was going to die, she closes her eyes and ear trying to shut herself from her thoughts, those awful memory rush into her brain.
No!!! no!!! no!!!
