Skye James heading to Barbados

"Harlem Industries, Skye James Speaking" this was the 5th phone call this morning and it was only 8:30am. Skye was in her apartment packing a suit case, the flight was scheduled for 10am and she was to meet Mr William Harlem, her boss at the airport. She was choosing suitable business outfits for the tropics and for schmoozing clients while she listened to the call.

They where traveling from the US to the South Coast of Barbados to look at the possibility of expanding a chain of hotels that specialized in diving and the underwater experience. They even where going to the extreme of building hotels underwater...but advertising, budgeting and marketing had been their down fall and the business was downing so in swoops William Harlem of Harlem Industries to make another few million.

"Miss James its Starfleet Car service we are just calling to confirm your pick up at 9am" Skye rolled her eyes, it was the just one of the many things she had to organize today. "yes that is fine thank you" and with that she snapped shut her cell and went about her packing. Skye was all business so she never wasted time on small talk and unnecessary pleasantries.

Skye pulled out her organizer and made sure she had everything organized for today "Passports, check, car service, check, hotel, check, William's wake up call, check , William's car service, check, plane tickets, check" she had the basics covered and she also had reports on the business and on the local area and possible locations for expansion in a file ready for William to read on the flight. She had spent days on the preparation for this trip.

She was also looking forward to the down time after business was done, she would still be on call but this would be the closest thing to a holiday in 3 years. So she chucked in a few bikini's and a couple of casual summer dresses to wear on the beaches of Barbados. Skye checked her watch the car would be here shortly so she closed up her bags and gathered up her brief case and headed to the lobby of her apartment building to wait for the car.


The airport was the usual hive of activity, Skye hated it and flying to locations was probably the worst part of her job. They had checked in their luggage and where now heading to the boarding gate. William Harlem was business as usual and so far spent the entire time on his cell phone squeezing in as much work as he could before he had to turn off his cell. Skye had purchased some travel sickness tablets and a magazine to prepare for the flight....she truly hated to travel and knew that William would spend the flight with his head stuck in the reports for this business venture.

Dressed in a pin stripe business suit, Skye was all class as usual although no one could see the scandalous lingerie she wore under her business attire. Lingerie was one of her greatest weaknesses.

William and Skye boarded the plane and as predicted straight away William dived into work only stopping for a moment to ask Skye if she could get one of the hostesses to get him a Scotch on the rocks, she wanted to remind him it was only 10am but she was not his mother and he would only snap at her so she did as he asked. Seated in the isle she quickly got a scotch and coke for her boss and a cup of earl grey tea for herself.

Arjun was pretty excited, this short vacation he had planned with his friends was going well, visiting Las vegas was a dream and now they were on their way to the West Indies!

He had only seen its beauty on television, getting to see it first hand was surely going to be a treat! Thinking about the lovely beaches there, he had even done shopping involving beachwear.He had even recharged his batteries after exhausting them clicking whatever he could on the Vegas streets.

He along with his friends were getting ready for the flight, packing all the stuff, he made a mental check for all the items he was carrying for his family, sunglasses for mom, a new ipod for his sister, a few T-shirts for dad, hmm he was still on the look for some jewellery for his sister, maybe some beach stone studded ones he thought, as his mind thought about the Indies again.

Finally all of them got there things in order and were on their way to the airport, waving good bye to Vegas as they left. Airports were fascinating to Arjun, he was going to board only his second flight and although nervous, he thought about it as a new experience. As he was going through all the checking at the airport he called back home once just to let them know everything was fine.

Once aborad, he settled on his seat, closed his eyes and waited for the take off.

William was hard and work and Sky was feeling a little unwell, she truly hated to fly. Standing up she reached into the over head compartment and took out some travel sickness tablets from her carry on luggage. She then turned to head to the restroom and the plane jolted and tossed her across the isle and into a mans lap.

Her skirt had slid a fair way up her thigh and she was breathless and blushes as she apologized and tried to right herself again. He was a good looking man with tussled dark hair, the kind a woman usually liked to run her fingers through as she sat in his lap.

Sky shook away that thought and stood back up in the isle as a hostess came to aid her. "I'm fine, thank you" she said to the woman and then turned to the stranger whom she had just sat on "I didn't hurt you did I? I am really sorry the plane just jolted so suddenly" she gestured from her seat to his "and I stumbled and I am sorry" she was a little flustered by the ordeal it was a little mortifying to suddenly end up in a strangers lap like some tumbling clown.

Arjun was seated and had breathed a sigh of relief after the plane took off.He stretched his legs and yawned, it had been a long week so far, continuous travel, adventure, visiting new places, but he was enjoying it.After all this holiday was his dream! He was going over a Carribean travel guide, already making plans as to what to do once they landed.

He settled his thoughts and put earphones in his ears and began listening to music. Music always had a calming effect on him, he could fall back on it to relax anytime. He was enjoying the beats in his head when suddenly he felt a thud on his lap! He opened his eyes to see a beautiful woman with long red hair, and in a black suit. He couldn't get his eyes off her, and as he could see it she was blushing too!She smiled for a moment, but by the time he could collect his thoughts and speak up she had lifted herself up and was apologizing to him.

He just reached out to her hand and holding it he said, "Its ok ma'am, I was so lost in the music and I didn't even notice the plane jolt. It was merely accidental so you don't have to worry. Have a nice trip!" and with a smile he let go of her and sat back in his seat, not knowing how he had found courage to hold her. Normally he was very shy and a man of very few words.His heart was racing for a moment.

He sat back and closed his eyes and tried to listen to some music again, but all he could think of was her. Her eyes had left an imprint on him. "Hey Arjun", his friend called out, "Did we just lose you ?" and all of them chuckled and teased him a bit for being the lucky one.

The gentleman was nice enough to stand up and steady her and comfort her embarrassment, Sky smiled and nodded "Thanks" and then made her way to the bathroom as she had intended to take her travel sickness pills. But when she got there she noticed she had been so distracted by what had just happened that she no longer felt ill so she just flushed them down the sink and washed her face.

Looking in the mirror she shook her head and laughed a little, she saw how funny it must have been to everyone else watching. After a while she came back out and headed back to her seat she smiled at the stranger as she sat back down and picked up her magazine. She began to relax as William who was oblivious to everything that had happened and was going on just worked away without a word.

Skye sat back and was about to close her eyes when the plane shook again, but this time everyone gasped and a few of the hostesses looked a little worried. Skye gripped the arms of her seat and became instantly tense ...she hated to fly so much. "Oh god" she whispered to herself as she glanced around trying to see what was going on. Again the plane shook this time with far more violence and the Captain began to speak over the pa system.

She never heard a word he said as soon as the mask dropped down in front of her face she just began to scream and hyperventilate, she didn't even know how she got the mask on all she could think was " I AM GOING TO DIE"

We were chatting about the Carribean islands, none of them had been there but Vivek had quite a bit of knowledge of the place, he was an avid reader and he had gathered some knowledge through his habit.The air hostess came by and enquired if we needed anything, all of us ordered a few drinks, we felt parched after all this chatting.

I opened my laptop to check on the news and write a quick mail home, with what was left of my browsing balance. I looked up for a moment and found the same lady looking at me, I was transfixed again! It was like she had an aura around her that was pulling me in. Anyway, I collected my thoughts and quickly completed my work on the laptop and settled once again.

Arjun was just going to pick up his leamonade when it spilled all over him as a result of a big plane jerk. "Drat" he said to himself, but it didnt stop! The plane had begun to swing violently from side to side and there were worried looking faces around him! "Oh GOD" he thought, "Its only my second flight and you decide to test me ?" There was panic in the air, the air hostesses were asking us to wear masks, he could hear the captain blare something but he could hardly think straight, thoughts were racing in his mind, "What about his future?", "What about his parents ?", "Was it all going to come to an end here ?"

People all around him were screaming, he just closed his eyes and began chanting a mantra he had learned, just praying to GOD!

The plane started making some god awful noises and jolted and rocked from side to side and on occasion seemed to drop altitude suddenly. Skye's knuckles where white as she clung to the arm rests, she glanced beside her and William looked catatonic, she then looked across the isle to the man who's lap she sat in.

Their eyes met and both looked scared, Sky reached out across the isle "please hold my hand" she called out to the stranger. She just needed someone to comfort her. The plane dropped again and the cabin echoed with the screams of the passengers. It was then that one of the passengers began screaming the engine was on fire.

Everything around him was shaking violently! The plane was creaking as if it were about ot break in two pieces. People were screaming, some praying, some cursing their luck, mixed emothions around, I myself was at a loss for words.

Then suddenly this damsel holds on to my hand. Her eyes wet, her feet trembling, I didn't hear what she said but I just held her hand tighter! I think I really liked her, I know, not quite what you should be thinking while you were about to die! but I couldn't help it..


A few more moments passed, the imminent reality hitting us all, we were about to die and then in a swift movement I pulled here near me, hugged her close and whispered in her ears, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to hug you, one last moment of pleasure before we go!" and I closed my eyes, waiting for the plane to crash!

Skye had been grateful to be pulled into his arms she buried her head against his shoulder and clung to him as if her life depended on it, she whimpered in his shirt cringing in fear as all around them went to chaos. She was surrounded by his warmth and protection his final wish had been to hold her.......

The rest was a blur a frenzied of screams and noise and fire, Sky had clung to the stranger and then it all went black, the last sound she heard was metal ripping apart and the whooshing of air and the engines and smoke......the stranger and her were tossed about the cabin like rag dolls and then her world went black and silent......

She was holding him tightly, He could feel her tears on his back. He wanted to cry himself, he wanted to shout!, but all he was doing was holding his emotions with closed eyes. After all everything was about to end.He opened his eyes to see panic and shock! No one wanted to die!

And then the plane took a nose dive suddenly! All of us were pushed towards the back of the cabin! The flames were spreading, devouring everything in its way. And then we heard the plane breaking into the trees, a loud deafening sound made me close my eyes and the next thing I knew, my head hit one of the adjacent seats and I was knocked unconscious. Guess it was all to end this way..

Skye felt pain and heat, her world was still black but slowly it was beginning to lighten and as it did she was opened up to more sensations. She was wet and there was a whooshing sound, wind...she realized slowly it was a beach she was on a beach and the sound she could hear were the waves crashing into shore. The heat she felt was the sun beating down on her and she was wet because she was laying on the edge of the shore with the waves caressing her each time they came in and out gently nudging her to consciousness.

She stirred and opened her eyes, slowly she rolled over and looked up at the sky above. A bird cried out and Skye winced from the glare of the sun and the pain still present through her body, "where am I" she whispered in a horse voice not quite remembering what happened. She groaned in pain when she went to move, her head was throbbing and her body ached painfully it was then she remembered why.

She then began to cry, she sat up slowly taking care with her fragile body. Skye looked around she could see parts of the plane strewn up the beach and could see where some trees had been scorned and burned by the fire, she could still smell the smoke and she a glow from a few ambers.

Her hand went to her mouth and she began to realize the horror of what had happened, she spotted a mass on the sand and then realized it had been someones arm, she screamed and shrunk back away from it in panic and horror. "dear god, no no" she whispered scared and frightened.

Sun shone on his face brightly, he frowned to open his eyes slowly.A severe pain on his head reminded him of his head crashing on the seat ahead on the plane. He panicked for a moment, "Where am I?", "What happened to us?"

He began to get up when he realized that he was perched on a tree top! Dazed, he almost fell off, he quickly held on to the branch for dear life and looked beneath. He could see the plane in flames, debris all around, and then he realized, "Have I survived the crash ?","Where are my friends ?" He wanted to get down and look for them, He hoped they were safe somehow.

He looked around to find a way to get down, slowly he made his way to the ground. His body ached, and at moments he felt he would fall off. Finally after what seemed to be a struggle, he was at ground level. He noticed he had stepped on someone's foot, he bent down to apologize, only to find that it was just a limb! He shrieked and ran out of the woods. Making his way through the rubble, he found himself on a beach.

He looked at the horizon and sobbed,"Why am I the only one to survive ?" He walked up to the shore to wash his face, when suddenly he heard a cry, "dear GOD no!".

What was that ? Were there other survivors ? He ran to where he thought the voice came from only to see a woman holding her head in her arms, he walked to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Its ok, calm down now, Its over."

Skye was in shock her body was trembling and still aching, she pressed her hands to her forehead and tried to remember what happened. She vaguely remembered , it was like flashes of memories nothing certain. William had been on the plane with her..everyone paniced.....a man he held her.

She sobbed a little never before feeling so terrified, then she felt something settle around her shoulders she screamed and went to pull away surprised by his appearance but he calmed her with his voice, it was him...the man from the plane. Sky sunk against his chest and sobbed like a little girl. After awhile she pulled back and wiped at her face furiously. "Is there anyone else?" she asked in a small whisper, hoping her fears were wrong.

She looked towards the singed treas and smoldering plane wreckage, and then she looked up the beach and out to the water before looking back at him "have you see anyone?" she sobbed a little "I only found......" she pointed to the limb she had screamed at.

She screamed initially as he touched her, but he could understand that. His own mind was spinning! How happy they were a few hours ago, a vacation trip, going on their way to the Carribean, all of them discussing their plans, he had even met a beautiful woman. But all that was in the past now. he had lost his friends to the crash, he didn't even know where the hell they were!

But he had to be a man, whatever the situation he decided he would find a way out. So somehow supressing his feelings, making a strong face he lent her a shoulder. She held onto him, sobbing, clearly she was still in shock. She shouted out, "Is there anyone else?", "Have you see anyone?".

Only when he was about to speak to her did he realize that she was the same woman he had met in the plane! For a moment he hoped that in a similar way he would find his friends too!, but only wreckage is all they could see, flames burning up the sky.

Holding his emotions, he held her close and caressing her hair he said, " Calm down now. I think we are the only lucky or unlucky ones to be here".

She looked at him in astonishment, she still couldn't believe it. He put his arms around her shoulders and slowly dragged her along the coast, moving away from the rubble. "Lets just leave this site, nothing more here belongs to us."

He didn't know where they were going, but he wanted the crash to go out of his mind..

Skye leaned into him and stumbled up the beach with him, she was weak and trembling still very much in shock. Her breathing began to even out the further they got from the wreck. Her head was spinning she was trying to remember everything, then suddenly she looked down at her hands and noticed blood, she didn't know if it was hers or not but he just broke into a panic an pushed away from him and ran for the water.

She stood knee deep in the salt water scrubbing at her hands and arms and body trying to get rid of the dirt and grime, tears streaked down her face and she sobbed a broken sound of a woman out of control. She was scared and sick with grief over what they had just been through.

He looked around to try to make out where exactly they were! They looked to be on some island, he hoped close to some sort of civilization! just so they'd be saved soon. He thought about how they must have come in the news and how his family and friends must be in despair.

She was still sobbing, draggin herself along, he didn't know how to make her cheer up. And then suddenly she ran off to the bank, she was furiously rubbing at her palms, crying, as if trying to rub off everything that had happened.

He made his way to her, and turning her back to face him he said, " Get a grip of yourself! Our plane crashed, and we are the only ones that survived! there's no use crying now". He hugged her close, and caressing her back he said, " Please calm down, I can't see you crying anymore" and with that he rubbed off the tears from her eyes.

And as he led her away from the waters, he noticed a deep cut on her right calf. Blood was trickling down, so he bent down immidiately, cut a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around the wound."Its gonna get dark soon, we need to find a place where you can rest."

Skye tried to choke back her tears, his words got through her cloud of despair and she suddenly realized he was right it was getting dark and she was soaked through and getting colder by the minute.

She nodded her head and followed him back up onto the sand. Her mind was racing with all that had happened and now she was terrified they would never be found "Do you think they will find us?" she asked in a very small voice. She didn't know where they were headed to and she realized he probably didn't either but she followed any way. If it had been left to her she would probably still be sitting by the crash sobbing like a wild woman. "My name is Skye" she said and looked to him.

He wrapped his arms around her and asked her to rub her palms. "I'm Arjun, we need to get you some heat soon!"

"I think we'd better make our way toward that hill there" he pointed out. "We'll think about other issues later on."

They made their way slowly through the woods, walking slowly, they were in unknown territory, hell they didn't even know if they were surrounded by animals! The hill seemed farther and farther away but to him it seemed as their only sign of hope at the moment.

Skye leaned against him, she really was cold and could feel her body trembling but could not stop it. It was most likely the combination of shock and that she was drenched from head to toe.

Her clothes felt gritty from the sand that clung to them and the salt water, she didn't speak as they headed towards the hill although she was saying his name over and over in her mind to calm herself "Arjun" she whispered softly and looked up to his face. He was being so strong and certainly more together then she was or felt.

Everything around them was so foreign to Skye, she was use to clean apartments and office buildings and the closest thing she had seen to a jungle was New York. She pushed away the low hanging branches and pressed herself closer to him every time she heard something scurry in the undergrowth.

Being an adventuruous person Arjun occasionally went on treks with friends so he had a fair idea to deal with rocky terrains, but this was unlike anything. Thick foliage surrounding them and the sun rays fast diminishing, they needed a place to rest soon!

He noticed Skyne chattering her teeth and mumbling his name, she was feling cold and he had to do something about it soon. He hastened his pace just a bit, in an attempt to find a suitable place but he turned around hearing a shreik from Skyne! Apparently some rodent had crossed her path, she raced towards him and hugged him for safety.

He put his arms around her and consoled her, " Its ok now, nothing is going to hurt you." and he looked into her eyes, but she had a frown on her face. He looked over her shoulder and noticed she had cut herself again in the same spot. He let out a sigh, if things were not enough! In order to keep her away from danger, her lifted her up in his arms and turned around to move ahead.

He looked above at the tree line every few steps and after a while he stumbled on a twig and quickly adjusted so that he would not drop Skyne. Crouched as he was, he saw a glimpse of a hill some distance away. He eyes lightened up, there had to be some crevice there where they could hide for the night! He stood up and paced ahead. It started raining as he hurried to reach the hill. He needed to get her to safety! the only thought looming in his mind.

She was so cold, it felt like her bones where aching and she couldn't stop her teeth from chattering together. Every now and thens he heard the bushes rustle but as long as he was close she was not to unnerved, but then something brown and furry darted out in front of them "what was that!!" Skye screamed and almost lept into his arms as her eyes frantically darted about the jungle floor looking for what ever it was that darted across the path in front of them.

Arjun put his warm arms around her and Skye leaned in close taking comfort from his warmth and the strength of his body. They had been through so much already she did not want to be eaten by some feral animal with rabies....okay so she might have been exaggerating but Skye was not an out doors kinda girl she frowned feeling guilty for being such a baby when so many had lost their lives. She shivered again as a cold chill ran down her spine and guilt washed over her.

She was completely taken off guard when he swept her up into his arms and started walking "what are you doing?you don't have to Arjun!" she had not expected him to carry her, she wrapped her arms around his neck scared she would get dropped as he navigated the rough terrain his body was so warm and his grip was firm but soft, she did feel safe.

Twigs were being crushed under his feet as he made his way through the foliage as quickly as he could. Grabbing a quick look every now and then to see how close he was to his destination, he braved the rain and the rocky terrain. Only when he had lifted Skyne in his arms had he realized that he had lost his boots in the crash. In between his thoughts it was as if he heard her say something, but it was like nothing mattered to him now other than getting her to safety. He had already lost all his friends, he wanted to safe at least one life, if that was the last thing he did.

The rain drops were getting harder and he had to ask Skyne to wipe his brow every now and then. He didn't even know if she had heard that.For after what seemed like eternity, the hill seemed at a stones throw away. Finally they made it! He scanned the region around to find a place, figuring they would have to climb up a bit to reach the cave he noticed, he asked Skyne to hold onto him tightly as he tried climbing the steep hill. The wet weather along with the moss were making it harder than he had thought. He slipped many a time, bruising his knees, but he hung on to dear life as he finally made it to the opening!

He huffed and puffed, took a moment to gather his breath. The opening was quite small. They'd have to snuggle pretty close if they intended to have any other space. "Don't move from here!" he asked her and went back in the rain, sliding off the cliff, looking for a few twigs perhaps. Scrambling back to the cave with what little he got, he dumped the sticks on the far side of the cave.No how the hell am i going to light a fire ? he thought. He grabbed at a few dry weeds around and stacking them at the bottom of the twigs, he rubbed two stone pieces as if to generate spark. They'd shown in on TV he thought, but he knew fully well, they were in deep trouble.

Skyne was shivering in a corner, he was watching her out of the corner of his eye as he was frantically trying to light a fire. "I think we need to lose our wet clothes and huddle together tonite. Body heat might be the only way we might survive!" he looked back with a questioning look, not knowing how she would react.

Skye was shivering, shock well and truly had set in. She couldn't believe what they had been through and how brave this man was being. He had just carried her up a wet slippery cliff and all Skye wanted to was sit and cry she felt so out of control.

She watched him trying to light the fire, and hoped that he would get it to work because she was so very cold. She was the kind of cold where your lips turned blue and your teeth chattered together and you couldn't make them stop. She rubbed her palms over her arms trying to gain warmth.

When he suggested getting out of her clothes she thought he had to be crazy or was some sex starved freak "I am not getting naked, I am already cold and I am not sleeping with you. I am grateful you have helped me but still...I wont..I you I need my clothes" she blushed a little and was flustered at the idea.

"I wish I had my suitcase or even my hand bag it had matches in it from a nightclub I went to" she looked to his eyes and then back to the fire as if willing it to light. Just then a clap of thunder made her jump and squeal.
