SAVED BY MY BLACKGUARD

CHAPTER SEVEN

They had been back in the cave for a few days. Paul handed Evelyn a coconut. She took a drink from the tiny hole he drilled into it with his tool. They’d settled back into the cave without much ado. It had become a home for them over the past week. Afraid the smoke might attract the pirates, Paul hadn’t lit a fire. At least she was no longer cold. Her clothes were dry and didn’t add to the chill air. The wind had died down somewhat, but the sky was still cloudy. The temperature had yet to rise to the normal temperature of a tropical island.

She handed him the coconut and he took a quick drink, and then gave it back to her. He was always doing that. Making sure she had her fill first. But, as idyllic as their time had been, she was starting to get irritable. Her skin itched, and her hair was too dirty to describe.

“I really wish I could take a bath. I’m so grimy from sand and salt water. I miss home.”

He glanced at her. He wasn’t looking any better than she felt. Perhaps they both could use a good washing. Too bad they didn’t have anything to bathe with. She missed her rose scented bath soap.

“I saw a waterfall when I was out earlier. At the base of it is a large pool. It is probably safe enough to go use it. I didn’t see any signs of the pirates. Tomorrow I think we should leave the cave for good.”

One more night without facing the real world, she was relieved. They could get to the business of resuming their lives. It was terrifying, but she knew they couldn’t remain where they were forever. It was time to move on and see how they interacted with each other without the safety of their self-made paradise. “Can we? I would love to at least rinse the salt and sand out of my hair.”

“Yes. We can go now if you’d like.”

She nodded. “Yes, please.”

He held out his hand for her. She placed hers in his and he helped her to her feet. She couldn’t wait to take a swim in the pool. It didn’t matter that it was inappropriate. She didn’t doubt he had feelings for her. Perhaps she was a bit mad for presuming he wanted to be with her forever, but she believed it with her whole heart. Actions spoke louder than words. When he was ready, he’d tell her how much he loved her. She could be patient.

“It isn’t far from the cave.”

They walked for a few moments until they reached the pool he’d told her about. It was beautiful. There were flowers twisting down in vines down the cliff and the pool was crystal clear. She could see down to the bottom. It didn’t appear to be too deep. The waterfall wasn’t large. It flowed enough to keep feeding the pool with fresh water. She wanted to stand under it and let the spray wash over her.
