Chapter 6: Where We Are

Stephan groaned as he felt like his head and body was stepped on by some horses and his back aches as if he was dragged down and just threw him away.

"Fuck" he muttered, trying to open his eyes but the sun was hitting him causing him to close them again. Then he started to blink and sat back then suddenly, he noticed a brunette woman lying next to him!

"Holy shit!" His immediately jumped from the bed and roamed his eyes around the bedroom that he is occupying right now. Damn, its made up of some strong wood and it so rustic.

'Where are we?' He said to himself then cursed once again when he noticed who the woman behind him in the bed is.

Before he could react, Ariana groaned and moved, saying that she also woke up. She raised her head that was buried on the pillow as she blinked then her eyes widen, she also jumped away from bed looking so horrified, she quickly touched the clothes she is wearing and squealed.

"Are you the one who changed my clothes?!" She heaved, wrapping her body like she was naked or something. "And Stephan, why are you naked?!" She also asked quickly.

Stephan can't helped but admire the woman in front of him. Ariana is actually wearing a tropical blue tube dress that ends just below her butt, showing those perfectly shaped long tan legs of hers that easily took his breath away. Damn just looking at her can make Stephan drool.

"Hello?" Ariana snapped him out of his thoughts, still hyperventilating from what is happening.

"Calm down, doll" Stephan cleared his throat "I just woke up like you and I don't fucking know what is happening right now but there is only one thing I'm sure about this." He ran his hand through his face.

He is silently cursing those people who are behind this.

"Who?" Ariana asked, with her eyebrows touched confusedly.

"Who else do you think who badly want us to be together?" He asked again.

Ariana's eyes glints up, realizing who they are. "My parents."

Stephan nods his head as well and scoffed "And also my parents are behind this. The people who took me here are definitely their men." He informed her "How about you? How did you get here?"

Ariana inhaled and thought of what happened to her. "I was actually attacked in my car when my driver —um, actually I thought he was my driver, suddenly pushed me to the seats and covered my nose and mouth and it had something that made me loose conscious."

Stephan can't help but tighten his fist as he felt the boiling blood rushes to his head. Ariana doesn't have to be involved in his parents idiocy and damn, how dare those men harshly touched her just to put her in his situation. His parents are really in trouble once Stephan saw them again.

"Oh God, what are we gonna do?!" Ariana's voice was panicking as she started opening the window and gasped seeing the whole ocean view and it sparkles from the rays of the sun looking like diamonds in the water. "Where the peanuts are we? Oh God!" she started searching around the room.

Stephan stares at Ariana as she hysterically trying to search for some clues or things that will peach her mind and he actually find it amusing. He lets out a quiet laugh and it seems that Ariana heard so she gave him a deadly glare.

"You planned this, didn't you?" She asked.

He suddenly shook his head and sat back down on the bed "Of course not, doll. You know how much I hate you so why would I bother do that" he huskily told her.

Ariana grimace and felt a little hurt from what he said but so what? She would go for a person who is very honest than she is getting played at. But that doesn't mean that she likes him already, he is still the man she wants to kill. But he is really annoying and she can't stand it and might go crazy if she is going to be with Stephan alone! This is going to make her temper blow up and might loose her mind.

Ariana just inhaled tries to calm her mind. "It's very sure that our parents want us to be together. That's the meaning of these abduction that happened." She rubbed her head

"I am so angry right now to the point that I want to fry them alive and fed them to my lunatic friends" she heard him muttered. "God, my parents are so crazy that they can do this to us."

"Well, if you just agreed to marry me then none of us are stuck here in the first place!" She whined, giving him the bitchy look.

Stephan sulked and narrowed his eyes at her "Then what? Be tied to a robot like you? Who just listens to her annoying parents and let them control our lives? I don't think so, doll. For you it maybe fine but for me...it's a big no." He told her strongly without any hesitation in his tone.

Ariana just avoided eye contacts with him. She doesn't know what to fight back because he is technically true. So she choose to be silent, crossed her arms and let the tension sooth again between them to avoid some tension. While she was fighting not to look at him, she just got tempted and then at the corner of her eyes, she slowly roamed her eyes at his naked top. God, they look so freaking yummy.

Stephan seems to notice his sudden silence so when he looked at her, he saw that she was gawking at his body making him smirk. "Wanna marry my body instead, doll?" He teased with a little husky chuckle.

"Marry your ass, dickhead!" She puffed out, turning away in a swift and left the place. Damn, she thought that the house she is stepping at is just a cabin but she was surprised that is was a freaking huge beach house!

Two storeys house, very rustic and it is very well designed. Ariana wonders who owns the place especially the island. When she got to the ground floor, she noticed the golden sand and quickly felt like a kid again. Since she has no slippers at all, she just jumped to the sand and run like a child going wild.

When she was a kid, she loves beaches and never in her whole childhood had experienced to have a picnic or spend time with her family in a beach. She usually will go here with her friends when she was in college in Paris and one time with his older brother.

But then, she stared at the amazing view in front of her as she stare at the diamond like ocean as the waves splashes so strong on the rocks. God, this place is just so divine. But aren't they any boats around? She looks at the shore but there is no signs of boats or anything.

What could her parents think about this?

This is an act of immaturity and stupidity from a idiot parents. What an absurd thinking.

Their parents are actually playing with them and so demanding. They really want then to be together even if they end up just cursing each other.

"Anyway, this is a very beautiful island. I wonder who owns this." She whispered to herself as she watched the waves as they splashed.

"I own this."

She quickly turned around and saw Stephan, standing there and was looking at her intensely.

"Y-you own this island?" She stuttered. "Wow, this is very beautiful."

Stephan walked closer to her until they were standing next to each other while faxing the magnificent view.

"If you own this...that means you know a way to get us out of here?" She asked, worriedly that she is stranded in this place.

Stephan shook his head. "Nope. All the boats were broken, there are no signals, no foods, no phones and no television shows for us to know how the world is doing."

Ariana's eyes widen as he utter every word about what he found out about this island. Yes it is freaking amazing like heaven but it's hell. They have no one else but them and they have no other options but help each other out to be able to survive in this island.

"I guess you and me are stuck, doll. Just you and me and nothing else. Just a man and a woman" Stephan spoke and sounded like he was tempting her or maybe that is just what it hears like to her ears. "We are so doom"

A FEW MINUTES later, Ariana and Stephan are back in the beach house looking for something to do or find some clues on what their parents are up to. They could have just let them have their phones that can entertain them a little than just stare at each other all day without doing anything.

Some card games or chess for them to play.

God, they could have just left out a~

"A clue." Stephan came out from the bedroom, holding a piece of card in his hand as he rushes down the stairs.

"A clue? Our parents could be better than that." She scoffed as she waited for Stephan to read it but her eyebrows touched when he just threw it on the floor and left.

"Wait, aren't you going to read it?" She asked confusedly.

"Read it by yourself." He already turned away, leaving her alone. 'What a freaking jerk.' She said in her mind then just picked up the card and read it.

Bond in the island and learn how to survive together. Life is short so make the most of it. Just think of this as a practice for the future.

"My Mom's handwriting." Ariana said, recognizing the writings. It is really clear that her mom wrote this.

"So it is very clear that our parents wants us to bond and fell in love with. How rubbish." she muttered, throwing the card somewhere she doesn't know. She sat down on the rattan couch and then noticed something in front of her that was covered with a blanket. She stood up and took it off.

It's a television! "Hey Stephan, I just found a tv" she shouted loudly because she doesn't know where the man is but when she opened it...

She screamed. "Holy fuck!"

Then Stephan came back, rushing and looks worried when he heard the scream. "What's wrong?"

Ariana just shook her head. "I just saw a huge spider." She lied, letting out a fake laugh as she tries to block the tv for Stephan to see.

He rolled his eyes and left me again before muttering "Bonehead."

"I heard that!" She pouted.

"I don't care!" He hissed from afar.

Ariana quickly turned off the tv and covered it with the blanket again. Damn, the tv shows are porn!

"What the mother chicken are my parents thinking?" She slapped her head and felt a little shock at what she saw. Her eyes has been corrupted. "This island is making me crazy."

She walked to the kitchen and searched for some foods and she just want to burn the house when she that they are literally no foods. As in none.

Zero.

The fridge is not even turned on! What do their parents want to do?! This is a freaking torture already.

Ariana examines the house and he saw Stephan at the backyard doing something, and she noticed that he was chopping some woods. And damn, her jaw just dropped seeing the sight of his topless body, and sweating. God, his abs are so mouth watery that she didn't know that she was staring at him again and admiring his naked top.

"You know, I might melt if you keep on doing that." Stephan stopped from chopping and leaned on the huge axe that he is holding, and he is still freaking hot as he pants while sweat rolled down his neck, to his bare chest, to his abs and and up to the —"And she keeps on staring"

She immediately turned away, hiding the blush that was covering her face "There are no food, idiot. What the heck should we do?"

"There are foods packed in our room, Doll. You just left suddenly this morning and didn't even noticed it." He told her as he continued chopping the woods.

Ariana frowned and just went upstairs to see what he was talking about. She reached their room and noticed that there are three huge luggage there that has name on it.

She opened hers and she saw that it contains swimsuits, cover ups, strapless beach dresses and sexy underwears. Really? What does their parents want? For then to sleep together and have kids? God, they are really making her blood boil.

And fuck, sexy underwear? 'What do they think of me? A hostess? A liberated woman?'

This is are getting weirder and weirder and might he getting worse and worse every single day that will pass.

Ariana opened the other suitcase and she thank God when she saw foods! Canned foods, eggs, breads, peanut butters, wines, chocolates and some snacks for them to eat.

And one thing scares her, there are so many foods and she can't help but think that she might think stay in that island for a long time stuck with Stephan. She can't do that! Just being so close to him is making her mind go crazy.

"Do you want me to cook something?" She asked while carrying the bag of foods downstairs to the kitchen and I dropped them on the counter and distribute them after.

"And then what? You'll poison my food?" Stephan came out, still sweaty and topless.

Ariana turned around and quickly turn her eyes away before they land one his perfect abs once again. "Could you please put some shirt on? It's really rude if you stand there looking like that"

Stephan looked at himself and smiled playfully at her "Looking like what? Looking so hot and handsome?"

She scoffed "No."

"Looking like what, doll? Be more specific." He continued to play with her.

"Naked!" She snapped, glaring at him "God, please cover up! I'm not used to seeing a naked man."

Stephan laughed and walked her, opening the suitcase that contains the goods as he examines it and think of something to cook. "I am more comfortable when I'm naked, Doll. I won't adjust my behavior just because you are not used to it or you hate it. That's your problem and not mine." His tone went back to the real him. Cold and dangerous causing her to swallow. "Just sit back, and I'll be cooking our food." He said to her and started bringing out some of the canned foods and the others that are inside the bag.

Ariana just don't know what to say anymore. She's afraid that they might just end up fighting and arguing because right now it is not the right time to feel that. We are he re together in an island and the only way out is for them to get along.

But what if the other party doesn't want to?

They their life is screwed. Oh they won't get off this freaking island.

Not a good one.
