Veiled Desires

While he tries to remove his pants and pounce on me…. I reach out for the bottle of champagne just by the bed and hit him without even thinking about it Aaah! He screams and falls to the ground I retrieve the key from his pocket without him reacting Unlock the door and run as fast as my legs can carry me Forgetting I'm half naked Amelia! Amelia!! Amelia come back here!!! He kept calling I ran without remorse leaving him in a pool of his own blood I head straight to the same place I met Phil Hoping to get help on the other side of the beach…. Still managing to cover my nakedness without a bra and a torn shirt which barely does the job I have never been this embarrassed my whole life what's more I can't even bring myself to tell anyone A scandal like this can cost Hector alot of deals and that could mean the end of this marriage and the good life my family's enjoying I see a few ladies who pass by and smile thinking I'm one of the prostitutes around the same location looking for a big catch to make some good money For a moment, I begin to regret my actions Why on earth did I break his head? Did I really have to run away? I think this marriage is going to end, no one has dated talk back at Hector how much more do this to him I'm just so confused… It's about 9:45pm and I'm hiding within the woods, they call it the passion forest A small part of the environment full of beautiful trees where lovers come to have a good time Clearly I see security lights everywhere and security men roaming around the entire environment with sun - bright torches and some with dogs for scent Clearly they are looking for me Oh my God I'm so scared! Do I surrender? But if I do, what on earth is he going to do to me? From what I know about him, he never forgets a wrong Even if I return, I'm pretty much sure the marriage will not remain the same again Hector on the other part of the hotel lies deep in thought… Contrary to what Amelia thinks, he understands he was drunk and clearly he scared her "I have a serious meeting In two days How do I explain the condition of my punctured swollen head… Do I reschedule it? What if human rights activists find Amelia and she spills the beans? What's going to happen to my career I just pray they find her safe and sound" He ponders with sleep far away from his abode (Amelia almost pees on herself, fear grips her from all angles) Who's going to help me? What on earth is this? While on it someone reaches out from the back Just before I shout Pshhhhh! He shuts me up I'm here to help you, you need to trust me Meanwhile put this on…. Who on earth is this masked man risking his life to save a stranger? I keep asking myself as I change into a hoodie replacing my torn shirt and throwing it in the opposite direction to distract them Clearly that caught their attention! But instead, the dogs come running in our direction.. Perhaps they picked up our scent Can you run? He asks To save my life yeah Now follow my lead… we run so deep and then we climb a tree The chase was for almost an hour and luckily the security men come to meet a dead sheep, they turn back after scouting the area Perhaps they believe the dog was leading them to the sheep Whooooooop! We both heaved a sigh of relief! This place isn't safe and we'll easily get noticed in the morning Follow me! He helps me down the tree and we move east to the lodge Quite scared I ask… where are you taking me? Just trust me I'm not going to hurt you …. He responds We can't keep arguing just follow me… he drags me along Just before we get to the reception, he removes his mask and to my greatest surprise It's Phil… Phil of all people playing superman for a lady he once humiliated? I don't seem to understand And how did he get to know I was missing Now you need to relax… remove your hoodie but try not to maintain eye contact with anyone Now we just moved past the security at the staircase Hey young lady! My heart beats so fast, trying not to turn I keep moving And then he catches up… I am talking to you ma'am Trying to obey Phil's instruction I still do not look at him "Ma'am you look sick… I think you're shivering… Meanwhile you dropped this" He hands me my necklace "If you need medical assistance just dial 311 from your room and we'll help you with whatever you need" Thank you… I respond You can go ahead now ma'am Boom! I've never felt my heart right inside my stomach like this before He almost had me there… or he may if I waste another precious second out here Phil is already ten stairs away… I move faster so as to catch up And finally we're here He opens the door… alas our plan worked at least they are out of sight. The sight of them alone is nerve wrecking A little reluctant to come in considering my past experience with Phil You just have to trust me, I'm not going to hurt you… common I just risked my life for you, he reassures Now I step in and walk slowly to the couch…it's a big room with a lounge probably half the size of where I was lodge with Hector Make yourself comfortable… I'll sleep on the couch feel free to sleep when you want He sits exhausted on the couch… clearly this had a big toll on him I know Phil does not joke with his life, he moved in with me back then because his apartment was in a quite dangerous place And now here he is playing superhero Soon he does off… and i'm wondering why he is trying to help me Suddenly a heavy knock on the door… We both get up clearly anxious Who's there? It's security The voice responds My God we're in a real deep mess
