Ralph and I take off for a hike to get cell service. Thankfully Ralph is in good shape minus his gunshot shoulder. In about ten minutes we make the hike.I sit down by a tree while Ralph makes his call. Whoever he is speaking with must be confused to discover he is alive. Ralph is putting himself in danger. He has done some bad things too but he is now working with my father to do good things.I can’t believe my father held him captive. At this point, I’ve been so wrapped up with Diane, that I have not ask him why. Was it for to trust or safety? I’m hoping it was for safety since I’m trusting him now. I’m not going to let their past destroy my connection with Diane.Since I met Diane my world has gone crazy. I have always been busy but not like this. Dangerous underground world is something I never wanted part of. I had to dabble some when people break into our warehouses. Part of having the Helm name. My grandfather would be angry at this point but I hope to restore peace. I have not
The morning sun came too soon. I stretch and wished I was not awake yet, but I know we have a lot to do. Aaron is sound asleep beside me.I gently kiss Matthew until he wakes up. “Now that’s the way I want to wake up everyday and see you.” As Matthew kisses me back.We eventually got of bed and make our way downstairs. Aaron and my father are starring at us. “Oh god, I hope we weren’t loud last night” I think to my self.Aaron looks to Matthew and my face his turning red.“Now is a good time as any since we have plan to get this done.” Matthew says as he grabs my hand.Aaron got up and stood beside my Dad.Matthew got down on one knee.“Diane will you marry me?”He opens a box that revels my mothers wedding ring. “Oh wow, yes.”Matthew puts the ringer on my finger. “We will do a full wedding later but Aaron can marry us today, if your ok with that.” Matthew says is a sweet tone.I know we have several issues to overcome but this feels right. It’s all so soon but I got my father her
“I sure wish Diane to me about her connections before. I heard her tell whomever on the phone that they were keeping her secret. She didn’t even tell me about a secret” Matthew said to Aaron as they drove.“You haven’t really given her much time. Everything has happened rather quickly.”“It couldn’t be helped. Our parents are stuck in their ways; he could of told us what they were going to do. Then we have too many people trying to make a quick dollar of us.”“Speaking of money, are you positive you want me to file these papers?”“Yes, I also have some making up to do after today as well. Though Diane doesn’t hold a grudge I feel like crap for my temper”Aaron pulled out his phone. A few minutes later:“Done, I’ve filled everything with the courts and your good to go. Are you going to be ok with just you and a crew you don’t know?”“It’ll have to do. We have a leak in our security that has lead to all of this happening. You and Diane are the only two I trust. If she says Hugo can be t
I finally got to the cabin. I think I broke every speed limit but the fine would of been worth it to get to Diane. I can’t imagine my life without her. I’m definitely ready for some alone time. If it doesn’t happen soon I’m going to need some cold showers. She was in my mind the entire trip. Though I was worried, I kept thinking about her perfect curves. She was the perfect fit for me. There is no one else who could take her place. Diane was in a league of her own. I love how her tummy flutters when we get to be alone. It is a magical sensation. She loves to put her head on my chest and listen to my heart beat while I stroke her hair. I can’t wait but life is about to pull me away again.Pulling up to cabin it looks like a war went off. The side old school alarms, that I picked on Aaron for putting up, really worked. Diane and Ralph had just enough time to take cover. I should of left Aaron behind but I thought the cabin was safe. Ralph was sitting on the porch, so I joined him.“Wh
Diane was enjoying time alone. She was in a light blue swimsuit. Watching the waves, waiting to see the dolphins swim by as the sunset starts. She visited the beach often and knew the dolphins tend to swim by each evening.She was trying to forget about Dave. Dave lost his job about 6 months ago. The lost of income forced Diane to push harder on her job. She promoted to manager in three months. Diane never wanted to be in the corporate world with all the networking and office politics. However, she did not like to fail at anything. So when Dave could not find a job she picked up the slack.Meanwhile, Dave spent his time saying his was finding a job when he was really doing nothing; not even helping around the house. He was enjoying life while Diane worked. Diane was done with men. She had tossed Dave out of their apartment after having a fight about not having attention she craved. Diane felt alone though she had a man at home. Dave said he was too tired but played video games and wat
Diane’s eyes lit up as she saw the dolphins. Matthew couldn’t help but notice her sparkling blue eyes. He was not expecting to find a women on vacation. He was looking for down time away from business and people but this woman has stirred something inside him. He can have women all the time but this was the first time he was interested in getting to know a women. “So was that your ex-husband?”“He was a boyfriend, if you don’t mind I’d like to not talk about him. I got a three day weekend. First in a long time.”Diane continued to watch the dolphins until they were out of sight. They had walked about a mile watching the dolphins. The sun has set and the moon could be seen in the distance. The night was warm but not too warm.“Thanks for walking me. I guess we should say goodnight?”“I have a boat. If you like I can take out to see the dolphins up close. We can see them early in the morning and I have a spare room.”“I’m not into going home with men I don’t really know.”“We won’t be
Next morning Diane woke up to the sound of something beeping outside. Diane looked out the window but she wasn’t sure where they were. Matthew was no where to be found. Diane started to panic. She quickly washed up. Got dressed and grabbed her belongings. She didn’t have much on her since she was at the beach before this. She has her debit card and cell phone, which has no reception where ever they were at. Diane went to deck of the boat and was greeted by an unfriendly crew member. “Where are we and where is Matthew?”“I don’t have time for questions. You can either go home or wait.”The crew member hurried off. Diane thoughts went wild. Oh lord, what did I get myself into. Last night was perfect but none of this makes sense now. I need to get off this boat and find cell signal. Without a second thought Diane jumped on the dock they were at.Diane was tired and sore. She knew drinking made her sore but she wasn’t worried since she had just been relaxing. She was not ready for an
Matthew drove into the county side. His face was still charming and the warm expression made Diane feel comfortable. Diane wasn’t sure why she trusted him so much. She just met him yesterday and then things got out of control.Matthew finally turn to Diane. “I’m so sorry all of this . My crew found a storm brewing and went to the docks. I would of normally woke you but you were so deeply sleeping.”“Why would you leave me with no word on what was going on. I thought you were a creep and that I made a big mistake. I was so confused. That’s why I left to get out of here.” “I left a guard at door but I was betrayed.”“I had checked the weather for the weekend. There was no bad weather.”“Wrong kind of a storm. This was personal storm that I had to deal with. Matthew pulled over to a cabin overlooking the valley below with the ocean in the far distance “I know you said Dave was jobless but I think there is stuff you didn’t know about him. He has been sabotaged my local distillery and w
