The Last Day on the Beach
He lathered her back with intricate care. It looked like he was frosting a cake for all the time and attention that he was giving to his job. She was a beautiful woman and had very pale skin. Her face peeked below a wide-brimmed hat.
He cared very much for her wanted to make sure that her skin did not get burned by the damaging sun rays.
She looked over her shoulder and smiled at him. She was lucky to have found this man after her second failed marriage. She's not quite sure how she got so fortunate, but here he was watching out for her, even when she really wasn't thinking about the damage of the sun.
He plopped down in the sand on a long beach towel and took a sip of bottled water, then handed the uncapped bottle to her and she took a long cool drink.
The radio played pop songs and she hummed along. Here they were in the Dominican Republic on a quiet beach. She didn't know how it got much better.
Suddenly there was a loud noise to the right of the beach and people started running and screaming. The man jumped up and grabbed her hand.
"Come on!" he said, worry furrowing his brow. She struggled to her feet and grabbed her purse and wrapped her wrap around her, grasping her sandals in one of her hands and off they ran.
"Stop!" said the police "don't go anywhere!"
They looked deeply in each other's eyes and turned to face the angry policeman.
"Hand me your wallet and your purse," commanded the man in choppy English.
Her husband quickly reached in to his shorts and pulled out his wallet, what was left of their travel money. He slowly extended his hand towards the scowing, burly looking policeman.
Her kind husband's mind was racing, how would he get himself and his beautiful wife out of the situation?
Their flight was due to fly out of the airport tomorrow. Would they make it? The policeman slapped cuffs on both of their wrists and marched them over towards a parked car on the roadside by the beach. The vacation they had dreamed for and saved for now came crashing at their feet.
