SIDNEY WONDERED WHERE WAS VINCE

Vince wept knowing he used her weakness to have his way, 'I know when GP suggests something, you will not object, I just didn't want this opportunity to slip through my fingers, I thought you might feel something for me but I know we had started on a bad footing.

I had done my fear share thinking at first, I could fool GP. I had every intention of getting a divorce, but your kisses have drawn me closer to you and my heart can't stop thinking about you.'

Closing his eyes feeling the tears rolling down his face, knowing, 'If she knew how he felt for her she might just laugh, knowing that Chrystal and I care for each other.

I had thought at first she was all I wanted, but then you came along, giving me new thoughts, every day since we met, you keep driving me more insane.'

Cuddling her closer, thinking about the song she keeps singing.

Cause all of me, loves all of you.

Loves your curves and all your edges,

All, your perfect imperfections,

Gives, your all to me,

I'll give my all to you,

You're my end and my beginning,

Even when I lose, I'm winning."

Rubbing his face on her hair, 'I love you Sidney Montrose Montgomery. I love you so very much.'

Feeling her hand stroking his face, holding it, raining kisses on her palm, "Good morning, how are you feeling?"

"My face hurts but I will live," recalling that was the said words she had used the first day they had met.

"Now let me go and see if I could salvage anything from that car."

"Vince, why didn't you do that yesterday?"

"I was afraid to leave you alone in your unconscious state, but now you are fully awake. Now we are almost a quarter-mile inside the bushes, so it will take me a while before I arrange some means of transportation home."

"Vince, please try and be careful."

"I will and don't worry, if I am not back within an hour, try and come out and meet me, will you?"

Seeing the nod before she said, "But, how do I know which is the right way out?"

"Look it is a foot track but I can't recall if there's any other track to divert another route, but just to make sure, I will break branches for you to follow."

Hugging her saying, "One thing I know for sure is before the day is over we will be reaching home, that I can promise you."

Releasing her, Vince was about to go when Sidney said, "Vince, thank you, for taking care of me." Taking two footsteps toward him, she hugs him and kisses his lips, "Please hurry back to me, I am so scared of the bush."

"Look, try and be brave for me and keep saying your prayers, it works, that much I know." Wiping her face wanting so much to tell her that he loves her but just said, "I will be back soon."

Looking at him go, then turn around to see if it had anything to help her if being confronted with any uninvited guest.

After ten minutes Sidney, felt her mouth dry, feeling this funny taste, searching for some water, 'If this camp is here and it's clean, then it must have some drinking water stash away?'

Being careful as she takes small footsteps, looking around the camp. Finding nothing, she thought, 'Then it must have water nearby, but it doesn't even have a cup or something to collect water.

Feeling her skin so sticky, seeing a long stick like a crowbar, she took it up, observing a foot track in the opposite direction Vince went. Using the crowbar she pushes aside the leaves to rest her foot.

Walking slowly, Sidney keeps praying to see some water, feeling her stomach make a summersault recalling, 'Since yesterday she hasn't eaten anything.'

Searching through the trees hoping to see an eatable fruit. Hearing a noise she stands still to see what was coming, but it was just a baby rabbit hopping along its merry way.

Sidney continues walking, reaching a slight incline, feeling behind her cabs pulling, but continuing slowly to ascend the small hill. At the peak seeing this river with glassy waters awaits her.

Hurrying down the slope, before undressing, Sidney scoped around to make sure there wasn't anyone.

Just entering about a foot inside the river she quickly washed her face and rinse her mouth, the water wasn't fresh and it was clean.

Then she washes her body, thanking God it feels so good. Seeing a bottle at the edge of the river bank thinking Vince will like to wash his face before we began our trip home.

Smelling the bottle to make sure it has no chemicals then rinse it before fulling the water, throwing a few bottles of water over her body, feeling satisfied that her body feels clean and fresh.

She then fulls the bottle and hurried out, while getting dressed hearing voices coming in her direction stooping down wondering whoever it was won't see her. Busying herself behind the bushes and dressing.

Whispering a prayer once more, "Lord Jesus, please shield me from any danger, I beg you."

As the voices grew closer, hearing them using obscene language. She sits quietly not making a sound, just watching them go a good distance, and out of sight before following her trail back to the camp.

Wondering if an hour had passed already, She felt her face painting, and it was becoming unbearable. Sitting down to catch a breath, and for her feet to rest so the pulling behind the cabs and legs will relax.

Feeling so tired from all the walking, with her stomach growling and the pain surging in her face, Sidney closes her eyes, hoping Vince will return soon.

Hearing voices of persons talking in the camp, Sidney realized she must have dozed off because she heard no footsteps approaching the camp.

When the person said, "Oh my what have we here?" The laughter was so scandalous, so at that moment she knew their intentions were mischievous.
