A knock woke me up from my sleep. I felt groggy and exhausted as I walked towards the door.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUP1SRxHcB
“Heyyy, buenos días,” Julierra whispered as she made herself comfortable on my bed.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHfrxiVOk
“Do you feel better?”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfLoQfzeJh
“Yeah, I do, but I still kinda feel tired.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8CYH1bg61
“Don’t worry, you’ll feel better soon.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2Z2LP3Kw
Jullie lunged on my bed, yapping about a series she started watching. I laid my head on her butt as she told me what was going on, and it was remotely interesting.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8UAJwt0Bc
“Hey, why don’t we go to the caves? The locals and some tourists say they are really pretty,” Jullie said excitedly, accidentally pushing me off the bed.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEYcbH3zLs
“Dang it, might as well throw me out the window, why don’t you?” I said, rubbing my head.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpex8nd9HT
“Stop complaining. You’ll be fine. Go take a shower so we can go eat and then visit the caves.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFcjxQNpng
“What about everybody else? Aren’t they coming too?”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yF8WYr4i3
“Well, you are supposed to be resting, and I’m keeping you company.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmA78ubNLo
“Visiting caves isn’t exactly resting, per se.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBJQ90o3u3
“Just get ready so we can go,” she whined, dragging me towards the bathroom.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJBsQzdYj5
I scrubbed my body clean, feeling an overload of sensitivity as I accidentally brushed against the wound on my collarbone, causing me to almost trip. Fuck him, if it weren’t for him, this vacation would’ve been so much better. Honestly, this trip just can’t get any worse, from having stupid dreams about him to seeing the stupid fish in real life. Better yet, he might as well grow legs and perform the things he did in my dream.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZUfLOKsjt
I cleaned myself and took care of my hygiene as I continued grumbling and complaining. I wore a black two-piece bikini, knee-length denim shorts over it, and a cream sheer top over my bikini bra. I finished the fit with a cream-colored bucket hat and some slides paired with Nike socks.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrg4mPDqwy
“Wow, the things I would do to you if I was a lesbian,” Jullie said, licking her lips while eyeing me up and down.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3qkFFlsCD
“Girl, be for real. Let’s go to your room so you can get ready.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRPuw14SK6
“I’m already ready,” she said, twirling in her pink sundress.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjheEbRfnnu
“Come on, let’s go,” she said, dragging me from my room to the hotel’s restaurant.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1zv97SG4
We joined the buffet the restaurant offered. The food tasted heavenly. We had a few dishes native to Indonesia, like Bakso, which consisted of broth, meatballs, rice vermicelli, vegetables, tofu, bean sprouts, and meat dumplings. My personal favorite was Batagor, a mixture of tofu and fish meatball covered with wonton skin after being fried. We went to the hotel lounge and relaxed for a while, talking about random things while waiting for our Uber.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Pr2pmgzB
...54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCebAI0seLv
We eventually arrived where the caves were located. Julie was able to book a tour guide for us.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84UplwvZPp
“I’m so excited!” Julie exclaimed as she squeezed my hands and shook my body in the process.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTkD9K7Syf
“Yeah, I know,” I said as I shook her back.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoCmDcT4fF
“I see everyone is present. Let us begin the tour. Please follow me,” our tour guide instructed.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7EihuNDvl
The forest surrounded us as we walked further into it. The green was very vibrant, and the forest buzzed with a calm noise. In less than 30 minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the caves we were to explore.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWHtui2wx
As we walked into the cave, the entrance was a bit narrow, but we made it to the other side. The view was breathtaking as I took it in. The cave was very spacious, with stalactites hanging from the ceiling. The water below was clear blue, reminding me of the sky during spring. I could see quite far below as we got closer. Some people took pictures as we went down the steps, while others stripped to swim.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraCZcl5CDL
“We will stay here for 10 minutes and then move on. You can take more pictures and enjoy the water,” the tour guide smiled and walked away from the group.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYtB1aWAFa
“Come on, let’s go swim,” Julie said, already stripping to her swimsuit.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQtZFN9XY
“I don’t know,” I was a bit hesitant, even though I could see most things in the water due to the light flowing in, but I didn’t want to take my chances.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrksdHYml
“You will be fine. We’ll swim for a little while and then get out.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX5wzDNFQ0
“Ok.” I reluctantly took off my shorts and sheer top. I dipped my toe into the water and slowly descended into it.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHc257kww
“Doesn’t it feel nice?” Julie said as she swam back and forth.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5EetGRcz
We splashed water on each other as our laughter floated in the air alongside the other tourists. As I had fun and enjoyed myself, it completely slipped my mind that I had a stalker who lived in the water.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvinRHddmzV
I felt something brush against my leg, and panic consumed me.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4OrNfiD5D
“Did you feel that?” I asked Julie as I looked around but couldn’t see anything, although the water was quite clear.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrfFi1ZUHB
“Um, no?”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzSPUhT2UN
“Yeah, I’m getting out.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tncacr59M
“Uh, okay.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Ig2E3fhN
As I swam towards the stone steps, I felt hands grab my legs and pull me away from the stairs and everyone else.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvUkkUnklA
Screams left my throat as I got dragged further away and underwater. Julie, with panicked eyes, swam towards me and grabbed my hands, desperately pulling me towards her. The other tourists had fear-stricken faces as they stared in our direction, but did not try to help. Instead, they all screamed and left the water.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SH4LLFjVM
My hand slipped from Julie’s as I got pulled further away from her. The last thing I remember was hearing Julie’s screams and flailing against the hands around my ankles.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeadenooNT
...54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBYRWuT3w
I awoke with fervent coughs and vomited water. My head pounded as I recalled being dragged underwater. My eyes burned from the sunlight; at this point, I believed this island wanted me unalived. My body hurt as I struggled to sit upright. I was able to observe my surroundings after my eyes got accustomed to the sunlight.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOGZetAHLk
The ocean was facing me, as always a striking blue. The sand was white, and I was surrounded by palm trees, but there was an entrance between two trees not too far from me. I looked at my body and saw my left ankle was swollen. At least the bikini was still in place.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw8nE82uto
I stood on wobbly legs and walked towards the entrance, but I heard a splash and turned towards the sound. Coming out of the water was the guy not only haunting me in the land of the living but also in my dreams. If I threw a rock at him, would he go away?54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WP6lldhCF
“Uh, fuck me,” I mumbled under my breath.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf8SDc7aUs
He smirked, then dragged himself out of the water towards me. I turned to continue walking towards the two palm trees, then heard some grunting and groans, which urged me to limp faster. My legs struggled to function properly as I made my way towards my escape. Suddenly, I was in the air and in a pair of strong arms.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGueqvhvlGn
I never thought it was possible, but my eyes weren’t deceiving me. He grew legs and was immensely tall. I should’ve made a run for it; swollen ankle and all. If he can walk on land and swim in water, I am not only cooked but thoroughly fucked.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd8pvAr8Tn
“You can walk?” I wasn’t sure whether I asked a question or not, but I knew I was scared shitless.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK6Qu2nu8w
“Yes, I can,” his voice was a baritone against my ear.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdTV0Gd2bX
He threw me over his shoulder and walked in the opposite direction of my freedom. With each movement, I groaned as his shoulder blade dug into my stomach.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLBexJTag2
“Put me down, you baboon!” I shouted. In order to free myself, I continuously struck his muscled back, which earned me a hard slap on my ass.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725pFCaKXi
“Oww, this could count as kidnapping and assault,” I groaned as I rubbed my ass.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSt3Zie8k3
I was met with silence as he continued his pace to God knows where.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWf9h6x9Po
“I have HIV, just so you know. I also have chlamydia, which is not a very good disease. Not too long ago, I tested for corona and—”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiYMcZuvQF
“Let me guess, it is positive.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHsMNw1Cr
“Oh my days, how did you know?” I said in shock, trying to be as believable as possible even though he knew I was just spilling bullshit at this point.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YSZTW7ldR
...54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PyQ6xSaM7
He walked for a while until he finally came to a stop. My stomach was fighting for its life on his shoulder. At some point, I had begged him to let me walk, but he denied it.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUr7up8YXd
He finally took me off his shoulder and carried me bridal style, even though I squirmed to get free. Realizing he wasn’t going to let me limp to my heart's content, I gave up and looked at our surroundings.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFF7VURDM
How we got here, I don’t know, but I found myself clutching to him for dear life. We were on a cliff, but not exactly on the edge. Grass surrounded the area, and I could see stairs leading downward not too far from the cliff. He decided to walk towards the stairs. He followed the stairs down to a jaw-dropping view. There was a greenish-blue little pool by the edge, two lounge chairs facing the forest view below. Not too far from the pool, an entrance led to a living room.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS3vfmdgUE
“You live inside a cliff?” I said, shocked, as he walked us into his living room and sat me on his couch.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfby0jesP0
“Don’t move,” he glared at me before making his way further into the cliff—or house? I wasn’t sure anymore.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONB93byzEJ
My body was telling me not to defy him, as he now had the opportunity to harm me without interruption. Even if he didn’t hurt me, I knew he could still do things to me.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNay48GZJf
I sat, listening for any sound from the direction he had gone. I could hear my heart beat against my rib cage as blood rushed to my ears. I stood up with determination and limped to the stairs. Before I could get past the sliding doors towards the pool, my body was pulled backwards towards a hard chest.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjMkI4zXwq
I looked up and was met with dark, irritated eyes. My heart dropped as he carried me back to the couch and threw me over his lap with my butt facing the air. Fear struck my body as I knew what he intended to do.
