Day 10
Jasmine sat in the beach laying in the midday sun as Bianca chattered on once again. Not intentionally listening to Bianca, Jasmine sat in her own world, thinking of the past two days.
Things were back to the way they were very since Luis kissed her two days ago. Ali still ignored / was rude to her but now she knew the reason why. He liked her. Like a little boy school crush who didn't know how to express it he like her. It was hard to believe at first, so she tested him. Even though he would ignore her as if she didn't exist, she would purposefully undress to her underthings before going to bed, claiming the late-night heat. His eyes would devour her when he thought she wasn't looking and he would almost groan out loud every night she did it. Yet she would wake up to him leaving as soon as the sun rose, as if he was waiting to leave.
She sighed out loud causing Bianca to stop talking.
"Is everything alright girl?" Bianca asked.
"Good," Bianca interrupted before she could answer.
"I was thinking that we should explore the island a little more, I mean there's bound to be more people here, there are hardly any deserted islands in the world today," she said.
"You know that's actually not a bad idea," Jasmine thought out loud.
"Where exactly does Ali think we are?" Bianca asked sitting up now in excitement.
"He believes were on some small island just west of Florida by the Bahamas. But he said if we were in the Bahamas we would have been found by now so we must be on some extremely tiny island," Jasmine recounted.
"But he didn't say a tiny island with no people right," Bianca said as she stood up and began walking towards camp.
"Wait, hold on," Jasmine began as she followed her.
They walked towards the campsite where Ali was fixing his fishing net.
"Ali we think there may be people on this island. We want to go look and see if we can find people," Bianca said.
"That's not a good idea. We need to stay here where the search team can find us," he said not looking up from his work.
"But there a rarely any deserted islands nowadays, we can find help ourselves," Bianca pleaded.
"No. It's dangerous to go in there without knowing what type of wild life or dangers you might run into. We will stay here," he said his vice commanding.
Bianca stopped talking, and Jasmine, fed up with his bossy attitude said, "We are grown ass adults and you do not make all the decisions here. If we want to go look on the island, we can!"
Ali stood up and walked towards her.
"So you thing you can go and find civilization on your own Miss Medschool, because be my guest. If something happens to one of you and the other can't carry you back then what are you going to do, huh? You're going to play Doctor and everything is going to be fine right? There's no wild animals, no crazy landscape, just a beautiful fucking island that were trapped on and have fun!"
He got in her face.
"You will not go in that island past the watering hole, you hear me! Neither of you. We will stay and we will wait," he finished.
Jasmine, just as mad as he was yelled back, "You're such a fucking coward. You sit here and catch fish, looking out at the sea for this magical rescue team when you know damn well they are NOT going to comb every single island in this damn Caribbean. You were in the military, you know how it works. After 15 days the coast guard will call off the search and we are not even in American sea space by your calculations," she punctuated each word with her finger poking him in the chest.
"Then, our families will collect the insurance money from the cruise and go on with their lives while we sit here with you and eat fucking fish that I fucking HATE!" she screamed the last part.
Everyone was quiet as they both breathed heavily.
"I don't give a damn about your orders anymore, SEARGENT. I will go where I please and when I please and you can sit here for all I care!" she said in a calm voice as his face went pale with anger. She turned in the other direction, almost running into Luis as she walked away.
