The Escape ~ The Final Chapter

The Escape The Final Chapter Standing on the hotel balcony taking one last look at the paradise I have been living this week I just can't believe how fast a week has gone by. Thinking back on the wonderful romantic week I have spent with Joe. The moon lite walks The endless conversations The candlelight dinners One memory I especially recall was one evening Joe picked me up at the hotel  insisting I close my eyes. He took me by the hand led me to a secluded part of the island... To our own little paradise. When I opened my eyes, to my amazement I saw before me a table for two with fine wine cheese  and fruit which we fed to each other while we were waiting on our dinner. Everything was so perfect All this beauty around me all I could see was those dark sexy eyes of Joe's After we finished an exquisite dinner Joe took my hand We walked down by the ocean oh how I wanted more, so much more I didn't want this night to end. We walked, talked and I even said catch me if you can running with the wind blowing thru my hair. Never before had I felt such freedom Joe caught up with me, turned me toward him and looked into my eyes not saying a word, placing his hand under my chin, pulling my lips to his kissing me so passionately I was in such heavenly awe not knowing what to say I just smiled, even knowing I soon would be leaving.... Leaving to go back to the world I wished I could leave behind I didn't want to think about it He took me by the hand and led me to where waves were gently lapping the shore We went swimming in the moon light Oh how I prayed for us to just get swept away for eternity The night was warm romantic exciting but I knew the time was drawing near. I had to finishing packing for my early morning flight back...   We stood on the ocean shore and kissed. "My lady", he said, "Please don't go" I looked at him and said "but Joe, I have to go" "I will never forget you or this beautiful place that was to be my escape". I could see in Joe's eyes he was sad but not a word did he say. He took me back to my room we said our good by's there. I finished packing and went to bed for a sleepless night. I arose and drank my cup of coffee while putting the last minute items into my suitcase. The phone rings... The desk clerk tells me my cab is here. As I check out of my room the cabbie took my bags to the car. as I got into the cab the cabbie asks Where to Mam? To the airport I replied. I couldn't talk. Totally unaware of my surroundings. All I could think about was Joe the moments we spent together Those eyes that stopped me in my tracks Oh how my heart felt lonely I knew I would never forget him The cab pulled up to the curb at the airport and the cabbie opened my door and went to the trunk and got my bags. As I reached out to take them, I noticed the cabbie had removed his sunglasses and I found myself gazing into his eyes, they were Joe's eyes. It was then I knew.... I couldn't leave... I looked at him and said Oh Joe.... How can I leave You are my only escape. Original by Diana Hall September 2008 You Don't Know Me Artist Michael Buble Page Design by Donna DeLong Matthews

I loved the ening chapter, I was a little disappointed, until the very end, when she made her final decision to escape from reality. Very well done Lady Diana.
