She took off along the winding streets of Bali with me holding tightly around her middle.  I was sure if I moved I would fall, typical of me.  We drove for around 15 minutes up into what seemed like some hills and then suddenly the traffic seemed to just die off.  We were the only bike or car for miles around.  I started to get worried where we were going. 

She stopped the bike and I took in where we were.  There seemed to be a lot bushes and trees around a very small area like a car park.  No one else seemed to be here but only lowly bicycle. 

‘where are we?’ I asked tentatively. 

‘we are in paradise’ she replied turning on the bike to wink at me. 

I was utterly confused.

‘get off and I’ll show you’ she said. 

I got off the bike as awkwardly as only I could, then she got off, took the two helmets, and locked them in the bike.

‘Follow me’ she turned to her right and started walking off turning at a very small opening in the trees I hadn’t seen before. 

It lead down to some stone steps.  I followed her, carefully, one after the other. 

I was focusing so hard on being careful with the steps I hadn’t noticed that she stopped and I almost fell into her. 

‘sorry’ I mumbled embarrassed.

‘it’s ok, we’re almost there’ she said grabbing my hand and smiling up at me.  I couldn’t help my smile back.  I was intrigued with a new-found sense of adventure and yet I was frightened.  I feared her holding my hand so tightly.

She lead me down a small path, within minutes it opened into what looked like a disused café of sorts. 

I was speechless.  The front was hanging off the cliff, overlooking the vast ocean in every direction.  The view was spectacular.  She turned to look at me smiling at my awe. 

I stood there gaping at the ocean and the sky, unable to speak.  I loved the sight of the ocean.  It was a truly wonderful sight. 

She dropped my hand and made her way to the back of the café.  It had a counter top and she let herself in bending down behind the counter. 

She popped up a second later, with two cold cans of coke in her hands and an arm full of blankets and pillows.  She walked over to a large seating area, much like the square gazebo in my villa and laid out the blanket and pillows.  She handed me the coke and motioned for me to sit. 

I climbed up and settled myself against the pillows crossing my legs.  I opened the can and swallowed a mouthful while my eyes turned back to the view. 

‘it’s amazing huh’ she said, I turned around to see her looking at me.  She looked, nervous? I had never seen her nervous before.  Why was she nervous?

‘it’s incredible’ I said trying to put her at ease, I smiled at her coyly.

‘how do you know about this place?’ I asked.

She smiled, rather sadly.  ‘I know the people who own it.  They don’t use it anymore, so I come here a lot when I want to be alone, just think, no one really knows it’s here anymore, since it’s not used anymore.  So I never get disturbed.’ She turned and looked out at the
