The characters are not mine. The plot is. Please R&R.
I am alone at sea. No, really I am alone at sea and I don't mean that in some deep figurative way. I'm on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, completely alone. You may be wondering why I am on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, completely alone so now I am going to tell you.
I was on a cruise and as some of you may know, cruise ships have those little life boats on them. Well, I needed to get away from my friend Jacob, who had just confessed his unending love for me and I do not feel the same way at all, so I found one of the little lifeboats and just sat in it for awhile. No one knew I was there and I enjoyed the alone time. Next thing I know, I'm waking up on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, completely alone. I was shocked to make this discovery, believe me. I had not expected to even fall asleep, much less press the release button for the little life boat. I am guessing that's what happened anyway.
So here I am on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, completely alone. And I have no idea how I am expected to get back to the cruise ship. I don't know where I am or where it's at, so it looks like I'll be here for awhile. Normally I would be panicking, but I'm actually quite calm right now. Maybe the shock of what's going on hasn't kicked in yet. I think that's probably what it is.
Anyway, the boat comes stocked with enough water and food to last me at least a week and I figure I'll find either the cruise ship or an inhabited island by then. At least I hope I do. I'm still kind of shocked that I'm not completely freaking out right now. I'm not normally one do well under pressure.
I think I see another little life boat headed my way. I'm not sure what it's doing out here although they're probably wondering the same thing about my little life boat. Maybe it's some nice person who knows where they are going and maybe we can share a boat on the way there. I am getting kinda tired of being alone. Someone's company may do me good.
The little life boat is getting closer and I can see a man with reddish hair. He looks like any normal man from here and normally I wouldn't even think of talking to a stranger, but here I am thinking of sharing a boat with him, in the middle of the ocean, where no one would know if he decided to kill me.
The closer he gets, the better he looks. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He doesn't have a shirt on and that is quite distracting I must say. I think he's trying to talk to me, but I'm not sure what he's saying. I think he's asking if he can join me on my boat and I'm pretty sure I'm saying yes. Although I may just think I said it out loud, who knows if I actually did?
He's on my boat now and as soon as I see him up close, I know I've made the second biggest mistake of life inviting him aboard. The biggest mistake I ever made was the first time I saw him.
