Once he was airborne, he sipped on his drink and laid his head back against the seat He could feel hiht, this is what I needed He’d refuse to work for a couple of days and everything would go back to normal

Chapter One

Trinity laid down on the oversized towel, letting out a sigh of total ecstasy She could feel the sun shining down on her closed eyelids She was so relaxed, she felt as if she could float off in the crystal clear water, only a few feet away from her

This was the first i she’d ever done in her life She’d always been the responsible, stable, reliable person but after being walked all over for the hundredth ti, hopped on a jet and ended up on a secluded island off the North Coast of Spain The last portion of her trip had been on a small charter aircraft, with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea It was unlike anything she’d ever seen before She’d been unable to take her eyes away from the , as the aircraft circled the island and landed in paradise

She’d spent every last dia expensive, all-inclusive resort As she lay there, soaking up the sun, she knew every penny of it orth eating raot back home

Her life had been flipped upside down a few days ago and she’d finally snapped, like many people had predicted would one day happen, if she continued to let people abuse her good nature She’d always been the people pleaser in her group of friends and in the few romantic relationships she’d been in

Her last relationship was the reason she was now soaking up the sun and flat broke Her et too war water She was trying really hard not to think about her ex but the hts, which caused a frown to pucker her brows

She had been with her supposedly straight-laced boyfriend for six ht she did She’d decided it was tiotten all dressed up, planning on waiting for hiet home from the office

She didn’t really understand his job She just knew he owned so about it to her and she’d nod along, as if she understood but in reality, it had bored her to pieces

She had the key to get into his place, from when he’d been on a business trip the previous otten she even had the key but was very grateful, considering she was going to plan a ro for them

It was such a cliché because of course she’d opened the door, with nervous anticipation, only to find the stupid creep in bed with his secretary He had, of course, begged her not to leave and pro, that he’d temporarily lost his mind

Trinity s As she’d walked out the door, she vowed she was done with businessirlfriend, who did their laundry, cleaned their places and anything else they asked She was done being the girl everyone could depend on She was done always playing it safe She was certainly done with being a doormat

She dived into the water and swam out until her arms started to ache She turned around, surprised at how far she’d gotten froh, as she was a strong swiet tired, she could float on her back for hours She began the long trip back to shore and continued thinking about those life changing days

Trinity had driven back to her boring, beige apart the internet for exotic resorts She’d found a new place on an island, off of the coast of Spain, booked her ticket and went to the mall to purchase a few sundresses and a new bikini She’d slept incredibly well that night and was off to the airport first thing in the

She landed yesterday and had wandered the beach as she watched the most spectacular sunset she’d ever seen in her life Tears had fallen down her face from the sheer beauty of the colors splashed across the sky She was exhausted as she cli better than she had in a very long time

For a few seconds after she woke up that , she’d been confused about where she was She’d sipped a few too aritas in the outdoor bar Once it all came back to her, she couldn’t keep the s bikini and headed towards the incredible beach, where she lounged for hours, until she finally dove into the crystal clear sea water

Trinity snapped back to the present, as she continued to swi but the warlorious water There was no stress, no feelings of regret and no doubt she’ds pain and then she felt blackness surround her Her last thought, before she started sinking beneath the surface of the water, was her room was non-refundable

Dreas lying on his board, swi out to catch a wave He’d arrived at his resort earlier that ood He’d told his staff they were to pretend not to know him over the next seventy-two hours and then he’d hit the beach He could certainly get used to being a tourist, he thought with a laugh

The day had been relaxing so far and he could feel his stress fading away As he paddled out further into the sea, he suddenly felt a thu into the water

“What the hell?” he yelled, before diving off his board to retrieve whoever he’d just ran into No one was ever out in the water this far unless they were surfing He supposed their board could’ve gotten away fro around anywhere without a rider
