Finally, after hours, the plane began to descend and they landed. Emily got off the plane and blanched, wherever they were it was hot, very hot, and she cursed herself for only packing her autumn wear…she'd been in such a hurry she hadn't really thought about the fact that he would take her to one of Sonny's islands. The heat made her long sleeved shirt stick to her skin. Jason led her over to two old, shabby looking cars that Emily doubted held the much needed gift of an air conditioner, unfortunately she was right. Jason and another body guard got into the car with her while the other two got in the other car. As they started to drive Emily thought this whole thing was starting to feel like a bad movie, she didn't want to be in paradise, she wanted to be home, where the leaves were brilliant colors of orange and red, where she had things to do, not in this place that was hot and humid. To keep her mind off of the sweltering heat she studied the landscape and decided it wasn't so bad after all. There were trees a vibrant shade of green and all different kinds of colorful flowers she'd never seen before but she could smell their fragrant perfume as they drove along a dirt road. As they drove she saw a town way off in the distance but for the most part there was no sign of civilization. Finally they stopped and Emily looked out before her at a brilliant blue ocean with dazzling rays of sunlight bouncing off of its calm surface, it was absolutely breathtaking. She could happily stay there forever just looking at the ocean. She looked around and hidden by a grove of trees was a beautiful villa and Emily decided paradise wasn't that bad after all.
"Jase, is this where I'm staying?"
"Yeah, do you like it?"
Emily was speechless, she followed him up the stairs to the door and was even more impressed by the interior, a breeze was coming off the ocean, making the translucent white curtains sway gently.
"I love it."
"Monica and Alan told me how hard you've been working lately so I thought this would be a good place for you to relax and take a break."
Emily walked over to the balcony and breathed in the ocean air, "This place is really beautiful Jase, thanks."
"Now for the rules—,"
Emily groaned, "I knew this was to good to be true," she said jokingly with a smile and Jason smiled back.
"You take a body guard with you at all times, even if you only plan on being outside for a few minutes you have to notify someone, no exceptions. You can go to the beach or take walks, no more than two miles any way out. No trying to go to that town we saw a little while back, if you need something ask a guard and it will be taken care of. No phone calls, no letters and please listen to your guards."
Emily nodded, "I will, I promise…be safe, Jason. I'll never forgive you if anything happens to you."
"I'll be fine, try not to worry too much."
"I'll worry quite a bit thank you very much," she said giving him a hug. "Now get back to Port Charles and do whatever you do."
Emily watched Jason drive away and then she looked around, the place was pretty big. Emily noticed her four body guards as they stationed themselves around the villa. She knew three of the four of them and that surprised her, maybe she was in more danger than she had thought if Sonny and Jason were having long-time employees protect her, but it also made her feel a little more safer. She walked through the kitchen and dining room into the living room and she was disappointed to see that there was no T.V., not that she would be able to understand the language it was in. Her room was large and thankfully the dresser was stocked with summer clothes, she wasted no time in getting out of her sweater and into a tank top. Down the hall from her room there was a large library so she figured she wouldn't be completely bored out of her mind. The last edition to their household was a housekeeper that cleaned and cooked for her and the guards, unfortunately she didn't speak English so Emily was denied female companionship. That day she took her lunch on the balcony overlooking the ocean and later did the same with dinner and she wasn't happy. At first she had liked it here but now it was driving her crazy, she had nothing to do. She should be at Kelly's busing tables not relaxing with nothing to entertain her but the ocean…it was going to be a very long stay.

Emily had been at the villa for a few days when one of the guards got sick, Emily looked after him even though he wasn't deathly ill, it just gave her something to do. The last few days she had begun to run out of things to do so she had started cleaning the house, much to the housekeeper's annoyance, when the villa was spotless she spent several hours at the beach building a sandcastle that had ended up being swept away by the tide, her life was so boring. On their fifth day at the villa they got a visitor and Emily feverently hoped it was Jason come to tell her she could go home so she was more than a little disappointed when Johnny got out of the car.
"Hello, Miss Quartermaine," he said giving her a smile.
"Hi Johnny, why are you here? Is there any news about Jason?"
"The last I saw him he was fine, I just came to replace Eddie, Sonny wants him to go back to Port Charles."
"Oh," she said thoughtfully. Having Johnny there wasn't so bad after all, maybe she could entice him to talk to her, the other guards, for the most part, ignored her.
"Welcome to paradise," she said with a smile as she led him up the stairs.

A/N: I know, boring chapter, but don't worry, more excitment is coming soon.
