a really seedy neighborhood but she didn’t care. Back then she thought as long as they were together it didn’t matter where they lived. Her life and the direction she thought it would take seemed like an outer body experience now.
     
    The sound of the waves gently coming ashore was so hypnotic that it made it difficult to keep her eyes open. Maybe she should have taken the second shift after all.
     
    Davis lay there watching her. She stood up and got to her feet pacing back and forth probably to stay awake. Then, after a little while she sat back down Indian style. Davis knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. There was no way his ex would have taken the first shift or any shift for that matter. There was a part of him that was curious as to Nicole’s angle. Then, there was the other part of him that said ‘warning…women are hazardous to your health; stay away, far far away.’ He decided to listen to that second voice.
     
    After a couple of hours of watching Nicole’s head bobble up and down, Davis went to relieve her of her shift since he couldn’t sleep anyway. He silently walked up behind her before tapping her on the shoulder.
     
    She nearly jumped out of her skin “Jeez! You scared me half to death. I could have shot you.”
     
    He looked at her skeptically.
     
    “I could have…you know….shot you. You gave me this trying to be funny but I’ve taken lessons and I’m a pretty good shot.”
     
    “Then, I’m glad you didn’t. I just came over because it’s my turn. You can go.”
     
    Nicole yawned, “I’m so tired that I’m not even going to argue with you about your tone. Hopefully, someone will find us in the morning. But, if not, we can discuss your bossiness tomorrow.”
     
    She got up and walked over to the tree where she’d spread out the tarp. Moments after laying down, she fell into a deep sleep.
     
    Davis couldn’t keep his eyes off of her as she walked away.
     

Chapter 6
     
    Nicole woke up to a warm breeze tickling her skin. When she tried to stretch she was met with kinks in unimaginable places. She didn’t know how long she had been sleeping but understood why she’d never tried camping.
     
    By the position of the sun, it was probably late morning and she was starving. Nicole had hoped the rescue team would have shown up by now. She could handle herself in the inner city but the jungle? On top of that she was stuck with Mr. ‘caveman’ who probably didn’t even know how to make his own coffee let alone survive on a deserted island.
     
    Where was he anyway? He wasn’t anywhere near their campsite. She looked around for him before being temporarily distracted by beauty of the island. She thought it was beautiful last night but in the daylight it was even more breathtaking. Nicole got up and walked over to the water. Right after she’d put her foot into the water she saw Davis making his way back toward their camp carrying a bundle of bananas. The sight of him made Nicole’s mouth drop open. He’d taken off his shirt and my goodness the man had a body like Adonis. There wasn’t an ounce of fat on him. He was nothing but muscles and he was not overly large just ripped. Obviously, Davis did more than just sit on his butt and order people around. Nicole recovered quickly once she remembered what an ass he’d been. As he got closer she went to help him with the bundles of bananas.
     
    “Oh thank god you’ve got food. I am so hungry. Why didn’t you wake me, I could have helped?” Nicole grabbed a banana and began to peel it. When she bit into it she closed her eyes and moaned as if she were in the middle of the best orgasm she’d ever had.
     
    Davis was exhausted and responded dryly “I tried to wake you but you kept saying something about ‘please just five more minutes’, so I went ahead on my own.”
     
    Nicole turned beet red, “Really? I must have been really tired. I’m so sorry. Were you able to get any rest last night?”
     
    “Not really.
