Maria had worked for Miami Mercs for nearly three years in total. Always being competitive she had won employee of the month a few times but never anything as grand as this. The company had decided to reward its two best sales people with a Caribbean cruise. The only drawback to this trip is that it will be just them and the crew of a luxury yacht. But for a prize like this you can suffer even the most annoying and obnoxious person on earth for 14 days. luckily that wouldn't be the case fr Maria. Her co -winner was a guy named John Gulliver. Witty, friendly (except when going after a sale) and a good laugh.



IC

It was Friday night, the day before the trip and I was beginning to get butterflies in my stomach. A whole 14 days living on a luxury yacht, being waited on, nothing to do but top up my tan and have fun. Get to know John a bit more see what tips I could pick up from him. Hehe ..every little helps towards the prize next year. I double check I have everything packed.....a variety of swimwear both one and two piece suits, toiletries, a few dresses for when we stop at some of the ports, nightwear( a couple of baby dolls), a thin jacket in case things turn cold, and some sexy new underwear.......why i bought this ii don't know. Not as if John would be getting to see it or anyone else for that matter.

I climbed into bed beside my fiance, snuggling up to him for what will be our last night together for 2 weeks. the longest we'd been apart since we met. He rolled over to face me and we made sweet love before falling asleep.

After eight hours I stirred to Steve bringing me breakfast in bed........he was such a romantic. A single red rose in the tiny vase on the tray. We enjoyed our breakfast then showered together before it was time to go to the docks. Steve carries my case to the marina, we look around and then we see the boat. My home for two weeks..........the Caribbean Delight. She looked beautiful, modern , clean and most of all luxurious.

I turn to kiss Steve goodbye with a tear in my eye when I spot John walking down the jetty. Not dressed in his usual suit but in shorts and a shirt.

" You had better go darling. Here comes John. I don''t want him to see me get soppy. I 'll be back in 14 days it will fly in. Just think you can get your mates round for poker or the footie every night.........even porn parties! Speaking of which I've left you a few messages on the laptop in the home office. One a day just to let you know how much I'll miss you. Plus a few sexy treats in forms of pics or video clips . Enjoy babe!"

I say to Steve as John approached us. Then turning to John I say

"Hi there , you all set for the trip of a life time?"

John had worked for Miami Mercedes for just over 7 years and was consistently one of their top sales people. Normally a laid back, take life as it comes type of person, he was relentless when it came to selling luxury automobiles, to the point that the owners had started talking to him about buying part of the dealership. When the company announced this prize for their top two sales people for the year, he made up his mind that he was going to be on the boat when it left and told the owners to give him the rest of the year on the floor and then they'd talk.

IC:

I sat on my bed, looking through the stuff I had laid out for the trip, making sure I had everything. A few swim trunks, shorts and light shirts, a couple of sport coats, even a light suit in case we ended up in a port doing something more formal. I carefully pack it all into a suitcase and a garment bag, along with my toiletries.

I call my girlfriend Kelly in Fort Lauderdale one last time before heading to bed. She's still a bit upset that I will be spending 14 days floating around the Caribbean on a luxury yacht without her, let alone with Maria. I remind her a couple more times that Maria is engaged and that I wouldn't jeopardize our working relationship by becoming romantic with her. We said our goodbyes and I love yous and I crawled into bed.

The next morning, I got up and ate a light breakfast and called a cab. On the way to the marina, I called Kelly’s house once more. I knew she was already at work, but I just wanted to leave her a quick message telling her I loved her and that I’d see her in two weeks.

When I got to the marina, I got my bags from the cab and headed down to where the boat was docked and I see Maria and Steve saying their goodbyes.

"Hi there , you all set for the trip of a life time?" Maria said with a smile. I returned her smile and looked at Steve. “Don’t worry buddy, I’ll take good care of her.” I said as I shook his hand.

Maria and I board the ship and stand by the rail as the crew unties and we start to move. I watch the look on her face as she waves goodbye to Steve and smile as I realize what they mean to eachother.

Watching Steve as the boat drifts away from the jetty I can feel a few tears forming in the corners of my eyes. I quickly wipe them away , hoping John didn't see them . He would give me some stick later if he did. Just the type of guy he is..... a joker., but always looking to brighten every ones mood. I knew he would be missing his girl too, even tho they didn't see each other on a daily basis like Steve and I did due to her work and staying out of Miami.

"Well that's it John , just us for 2 weeks now. What do you think the trip will have in store for us? Hopefully you don't get sea sick......because I won't be cleaning up after you. Do enough of that when Steve has too much to drink on Friday night!"

I turn to look at the captain. he seems friendly enough but there was just something bugging me about him. just couldn't put my finger on it.
 
I noticed the tears forming in Maria’s eyes as we left the dock and decided now was not the time to say anything. We were both tense enough as it was, leaving our lovers behind to spend two weeks together on a boat. The guys at the dealership had been giving me a hard time since the winners were announced about bow they wished they were the ones lucky enough to spend the time with her. She definitely had caught the eye of most of the guys at the dealership.

“Yep, just us and the crew for 14 days.” I said with a smile and started to walk away. When she commented about getting sea sick, I had to chuckle. “Well, Maria, you don’t have to worry about that, I spend quite a bit of my free time on the water.” I said as I looked at her. “I’m going to go get settled in. Meet me back on deck in a bit?” I said and headed to my cabin to unpack.

I unpacked and headed back up to the deck. The crew had margaritas waiting and I took one, sitting in the sun with my shirt open, just enjoying the warmth and the gentle rock of the boat, waiting for Maria to come up from her cabin.

John had been the gentleman and let me choose the room. Being a woman of course I went for the one with most closet space! The room was a full size one . Bigger than the one in our apartment. Mind you the yacht probably cost twice what our apartment was worth. We were a couple who had no desire to get into debt above our heads so we chose a smaller apartment and leave some cash in the bank for a rainy day. Damn I was missing Steve already. These 14 days were going to be hard.

I heard John head back up on deck. I put the last few things away and changed into a bikini and sarong and went up on deck to join him. One last look in the mirror making sure my mascara hadn't run.

"hi John. Damn if this isn't the life huh? Margherita's in the sun. No cars to sell. Could get used to this very easily."
 
I smiled around my sunglasses as Maria walked up to me with a margarita in her hand. Good thing I had them on so she couldn’t see me admire her body in her little bikini. I realized why the guys at work had given me such a hard time about this trip.

“Hey Maria. Isn’t this the life though. I can see how people could want to live this way.” I said with a smile. “Join me?” I said, inviting her to sit in the lounger next to me. I reached into my shirt pocket and pulled out one of my Cuban cigars and lit it, inhaling the sweet aroma of it.

“I wonder where our first stop will be.” I said looking out over the water as the yacht cruised effortlessly through the water.
 
maria

The waiter /cook came over to ask if our drinks were okay. We said they were and before he headed away I asked where we were stopping first.

"It will be Nassau ma'am. Then tomorrow there is a trip to Blue Lagoon Island booked . A cay a 20-minute sail from Nassau, several programs allow people to become intimately acquainted with dolphins. After learning about these irresistible mammals, you will meet them from the edge of the water, plunge in and swim with them or spend a day with them. "

He walked away, I look at John.

"DOLPHINS! I've always wanted to swim with dolphins since I was a little girl! This truly is turning out to be a dream trip!"
 
I was about to ask the crewman where our first stop was when Maria beat me to the punch. I smiled as he rattled off the itinerary for the next couple of days. Part of me wondered why he had stopped at when he did, but figured it was nothing to worry about.

“Nassau, I haven’t been there in a while. It’s a beautiful island.” I commented, not knowing if she’d ever been there. “I’ve always wanted to swim with them too.” I said looking at her with a smile. “I’m sorry, did you want one?” I asked offering her a cigar.

I sat looking at the water wondering how our boat would handle the water where the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic ocean met. It could get a little rough sometimes. “I hope we get through to Nassau without to much rough water.” I said casually.

As I sat on the deck, the heat of the sun made me wish our boat had a pool to go with the Jacuzzi, but I guess a person couldn’t be to picky.

“Nassau, I haven’t been there in a while. It’s a beautiful island.” I commented, not knowing if she’d ever been there. “I’ve always wanted to swim with them too.” I said looking at her with a smile. “I’m sorry, did you want one?” I asked offering her a cigar.


"Thanks but no thanks John. As much as I love the smell of cigars I have never smoked . Well unless you count a couple of puffs that one time when at college of a joint. Even then it just made me vomit."

"I hope we get through to Nassau without to much rough water.” he said casually.

"Damn so do I. "

Thinking to my self that the last time I had been on a boat in rough water it had sunk. Luckily it was just on a small harbour but it had scared the shit out of me. I'm sure my face must have paled as john turned to me . Looking a bit apprehensive.
 
“We’ll be fine hun. If this tub cant get through it, they wouldn’t be taking us there.” I say with a chuckle seeing the look on her face. I finished my drink and got up to get another “You need a refill? Or something else perhaps?” I say offering to get her something.

As I get up, our waiter/cook returns with a tray of fresh fruit and sets it on the little table between our chairs. I grab a piece of pineapple and pop it into my mouth. MY eyes can’t help but take in her beauty s I stand waiting for her to reply about a drink.
 
maria

"Yeah John. Make mine a double of anything they have."

He laughed as I said it. I told myself I would explain it all to him later. After a few more drinks to calm my nerves. He comes back with two glasses with Jack Daniels in........perfect! I grab a wedge of orange to suck on . Dammit I'll tell him now.

"Thanks hun ...good choice. Look John there's something I should tell you......... and no it's not as some of the guys at work think that I'm easy! Seriously the last time I was on a boat as a teenager there was a storm. My friend and I had been on the dingy in the harbour. Well to cut a long story short , it sank! I have never set foot on one until today. So if I get a bit freaked out if it gets a bit choppy I apologise for it now. Also I get paranoid about safety..I have to know exactly where the first aid kit is, the radio , the flares, etc. I'm the same on land or in the air. I get quite anal at times."

Realising I may be coming on as psycho bitch I bite my tongue and drain the double JD. I signal the waiter and ask him just to bring the bottle. I had a feeling I might need it.
 
I went inside to the bar and found a bottle of Jack and poured us both a double glass. While pouring, I got a strange look from one of the crew members and just chalked it up to me getting my own drink.

I brought it out and handed one to Maria. I slipped my shirt off before sitting back down and looked at her “Here’s to a fun vacation.” I said raising my glass towards her before taking a sip of it.

I sat and listened intently as she told me about her last boating experience and chuckled as she downed her JD and told our waiter to just bring the bottle “First, Maria, let me say that nobody at work thinks you’re easy, just damn good looking, at least not that they’ve told me anyway. Second, for christ sake, don’t let the crew hear that story. Some of these guys are superstitious and won’t be on a boat with someone who’s survived one going down, even if it is a little dinghy. But, don’t worry, I’m sure these guys are good, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it. As for the safety equipment, I’m sure it’s all marked pretty well. We’ll take a little walk around later and see what we can find.” I said with a wink trying to calm her and downing my drink also.
 
maria

John was trying his best to calm me down. The more I looked around at the crew the more i began to distrust them. Few actually spoke English around us, preferring Spanish. I could pick up a few words, tourists.....idiots.........dumb. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. I don't think John trusted them either. You hear so much on the news about people going missing in the islands.

"John what do you think about the crew........you think they're a bit ...shifty?I just don't like the way they never speak in English around us. As if they are planning something."

I watched the waiter as he returned with the bottle of JD. Smiling in a way I could only describe as slimy. Shit I was starting to have a bad feeling about this. I waited on John's reply.
 
“I guess I hadn’t really noticed, but now that you mention it, they do seem a little strange.” I said, looking around. “Well, I guess it’s to late now. I’d hope the dealership would have researched the charter company well enough.” I said as I poured us another drink. “Maybe we’re just being paranoid.”

I did feel a bit uneasy about the crew though but I didn’t want Maria to know I was concerned. My thinking was to just get to Nassau and see what we can do from there.
 
maria

I could sense John's unease after I raised the question about the crew. But he was right the comp[any would have checked the company out. just hope they did same with the crew. Not that i had that much cash or jewellery with me. Did see much point as most was paid for . $500 isn't much for 2 weeks really. I tried to put all these thoughts out of my mind and enjoy the company of a nice man, and of course my surroundings.

John and I continued to drink our JD and chatting. Getting to know a bit more about each other as a person instead of a rival salesperson. I never knew he had actually trained as a mechanic and served some time with a hot rod crew before he had been hurt in the pits. forced to retire after being compensated and no other team would touch him he had turned to sales. He still had his love of cars and his mechanical expertise was why a lot of people come back to him year after year for their cars. He is a rarity in the cars sales business. He will only sell a car that suits the person and their needs. Yet he gets a sale every time. I found myself warming to him as a person now more than ever.

"Do you fancy trying out that jacuzzi before we get to drunk to. I can feel this going to my head already. Must be the sun and motion. I can normally drink this all night without it affecting me!"
 
I smiled over at Maria when she mentioned the jacuzzi. "Sounds great to me" I said and stood, debating if I should offer her my hand to help her up. "I'm starting to feel it too darlin'."

I grabbed our glasses and the bottle and followed her up the steps to the top deck and the jacuzzi. I couldn't help but notice the look on the crews faces as we went up.

I was glad I hadn't taken much money with me. Having been in the Caribean before, I knew things weren't terribly expensive, unless you started buying jewelry or something which I had no intention of doing.

We slipped into the water of the jacuzzi and I sighed, feeling the warm water relaxe my sore muscles. I leaned my head back and looked up at the bright blue sky. This was shaping up to be a good vacation so far and I was glad I had won the trip.
 
maria

I watch John climb down the steps a bit unsteadily I must say. Admiring the way his chest muscles moved. Compared to some of the guys at work despite not having much time for the gym he still took care to stay in shape. He stretched his hands out and placed them on my hips guiding me down the stairs saying to watch that last one. Once in the water I sit opposite him in the bath, the water buffeting my back and legs as it swirls from the jets. As I lay my head back on the neck support I look at the sky .

"Doesn't that sky look glorious John...so blue. Makes you even more tired just looking at it. Just think of the others working away under the Miami sun today while we get to enjoy all this. Should have been taking some pics to take back to them.... actually John I think I'll go lay down I really do feel tired and a bit woozy. I'll see you for dinner?"
As I make to stand up I almost pass out. John grabs me quickly as I fall into his arms, I turn and look at him and see his face turn hazy and form that of Steve. Then things go blank.
 
Marias comments about the sky almost sounded like Charlie Browns teacher in my ears, just short of a garbled tangle of sounds. I lifted my head and looked at her. Man, I’ve never had JD kick my ass like this I thought. I caught her saying something about lying down and dinner, but not completely comprehending her.

As she stood, I saw her face go blank and her start to fall. Somehow, I managed to catch her before she fell into the water. I laid her on the side of the tub and tried to call out for help. My words coming out sounding like hers had. The last thing I remember was seeing some of the crew members slowly walking towards us, then everything went black……..
 
maria

I can feel my body being hoisted over the shoulder of the waiter and carried to a cabin....not my own I see when my eyes open briefly before blanking out again. I hear the men talking in Spanish again.............I catch stupid gringos........abandon.........storm.
My eyes open again this time it is brought on by a bump beside me. I try to speak but I can't as they dump John on the bed next to me. He too is out cold. Damn the bastards had drugged us.....what next sell on the human traffic market as slaves? Kill us? They leave us and I hear banging about..... metal against metal....... them ransacking out belongings taking all our valuables, what little we had.

"john ....John ......wake up John!. We have to get out of here. They drugged us and are talking about abandoning us. John !"

My voice getting louder and more desperate as he doesn't stir at first then slowly I hear him groan in my ear.

"Wake up John"
 
I had the sense of being carried by two people, one at my shoulders and one at me feet. I felt my body being dropped onto what I assumed was a bed. I slowly started coming to, my head swirling and throbbing.

I hear Maria’s voice frantically calling for me to wake up and fight through the haze. I look into her eyes, still not entirely comprehending what she’s saying. I start to look around the room… “Where are we? What happened?” I ask her hoping she can give me some sort of clue.

I hear the noises coming from the surrounding rooms and start to realize that this definitely is NOT right. “What the hell….” I start to say when I hear the engines of the boat slow.
 
maria

I hear the engines die. They give a last splutter and cease to function. Panic is starting to set in with me, I can feel the bile rise in my throat as I start to relive the nightmare of the harbour again.

"John they have locked us in. I'm scared John......what if we sink!..... We have no idea where we are.......who knows whats in the water round here! I've got to get out of here ........NOW!"

I jump off the bed again and then start hammering on the door. Pulling and pushing on it desparate to get it to open. I see John start to stir as he fights the drugs, trying to sit up, still wobbly from the drugs.

He is looking around for something to break either the door or window. The window would be better so much easier to break. I grab the chair thats in front of the dressing table and launch it at the glass. Shielding myself as it shatters.
 
My mind still fuzzy, I try my best to get up from the bed to try to calm Maria. She's frantic tryng to get out of the cabin. I look around trying to size up the situation. I manage to get to my feet and realize she's holding a chair "Maria...." I get out just as she lets go of the chair, hurling it through the window. I have just enough time to shield myself from the shattering glass.

I find something to brek the rest of the glass out and help her climb through the window onto the deck outside and follow her through just in time to see the crew disappear in the only life boat on our yacht.

I look at Maria "I think we're in trouble darlin'." I say matter of factly and move to the bridge to see if the engines will run.
 
maria

his words I think we're in trouble darlin' didn't exactly instill confidence in me. I saw the crew leave and realised that the sky was changing colour too from the beautiful clear blue of earlier. It was dark and menacing on the horizon. I hoped John could do something with the engine get it started so we could at least get near to someplace instead of being in the middle of the ocean with no idea where we were.

" John please tell me you can fix this thing!. It can't be much different from a car engine surely!"
 
I went to the bridge of the yacht and looked over the controls. Everything looked dead. I turned the power key on and saw a few of the gauges light up. “Here goes nothing” I mumbled and pushed the buttons for the engine starters. Nothing…

I looked at Maria with genuine concern, a concern that wasn’t being helped by the sky. “I don’t know darlin’, this doesn’t look good.” I said as I started down to the engines, followed by Maria. “I can fix almost any gas engine, but these are diesels, I don’t know much ab….” I said as I opened the door to the engine room. The sight told me even a diesel mechanic wouldn’t be able to fix it before the storm hit.

I turned to Maria “We need to find everything we can use, first aid kit, clothes, food, whatever we can. We’re in trouble.” I said to her, not wanting to put her in a panic, but not wanting to sugar coat it either.

I went back to the bridge and got out the binoculars “There’s an island over there, but we can’t control the boat, hopefully the winds will blow us to it.” I said and reached for the radio microphone, the chord from it to the radio dangled loose from it.
