the kitchen.
    Austin and I looked at each other, grinning madly until we both burst out laughing.  
    After the enlightening and filling breakfast, Austin showed me around the town. The main street was filled with tourists shops and coffee shops. Once I was done with the trinkets and the crap that I really didn't need, Austin then lead me to the shops where the locals did their shopping. It was a few streets back and far better than the area marketed towards the tourists. I found a pair of hiking boots and I also found myself a pair of long pants that didn't look like a clown had once owned them. By lunchtime Austin was beginning to look tired.
    “I need to get some zees before work tonight, I'll drop you back at the hotel.”
    “Sure.”
    I wasn't a fan of motorcycles but being this close to him seemed all too nice. He pulled up beside the hotel, I climbed off and handed his helmet back.
    “Thanks for the fun day. Your secret spot is safe with me.”
    The stoic stare made me squirm a little, wondering if I had crossed some line or maybe I had a bit of food on my face.
    “No problem.” He said as he twitched a slight smile. “Going to drink your ass off at the clubs tonight?”
    I grinned and shook my head.
    “Nah. I prefer the quiet pubs.”
    Austin nodded with a smirk.
    “I guess I'll see you tonight then.”
    He flicked the visor of the helmet down and pulled out onto the road, leaving me rather confused. As I walked back to the villa I pondered the mornings events. He made no serious moves or even gave an indication yet he spent the entire morning with me. All he had offered was the view of the jungle but I had been given so much more.
    I felt tired, the lack of sleep made me want to sleep the rest of the day away. Maybe Austin was right, maybe sleeping in the afternoon before a big night was a good idea. As I pushed through the door I could hear Monique and her friend for the day going at it like rabbits. Though I can't imagine rabbits being that loud. I quickly changed into my new pants and shoes and set out for somewhere more quiet to sleep.
    It wasn't ideal, it was crazy but it was quiet. I made my way down the rope ladder and through the track, returning to Austin's little shack. I had presumed that he was going home to sleep but I was wrong, he was at the shack.
    “Abigail.” He said softly as he frowned. “What are you doing here?”
    “I wasn't expecting you to be here.” I shrugged. “Monique has a friend and they are being rather loud and I was tired. It's okay, I'll leave you to it.”
    “Wait.”
    I turned back, his dominating stature engulfed the opening that was the door.
    “You can stay but there's only one bed or you can take the lounge if you want but there's no netting.”
    He scratched his hand through his hair, it was a gesture that made me realize he was finding the situation rather awkward.
    “I uh, don't mind sharing if you don't.”
    “Sure.”
    I was crazy. Austin walked back into the shack, when I followed him I saw that he had flicked off his shoes and was adjusting the netting around the bed. I pulled off my boots and walked through the opening in the netting, Austin walked through and closed the gap. I sat on the bed and watched as his oversized body kept hitting the top of the netting.
    “How often do you sleep down here?”
    “Every now and then.” He shrugged. “Depends on the weather. Hot days like this are great, the cold is terrible.”
    He sat on the bed beside me, leaning back on one arm.
    “Don't you like your house?”
    “It's okay, nothing like this though.”
    “So why haven't you built somewhere like this?”
    Austin shrugged as he laid down, pulling me with him.
    “Been busy. Go to sleep Abigail.”
    I rolled onto my side, staring into his eyes. They were the darkest blue I had ever seen, incredible didn't seem fitting. His eyes were dark but they were stunning.
    “Maybe you're waiting for the right time.”
    “Maybe.” He whispered.
    I closed my eyes,
