(A/N: This is the last chapter you guys, it's a flash sideway, because I was kind of upset Richard didn't have one. Just wanted to say thank you to - KittyKatZorse, Kelp, Jac Danvers, Chrissy, MonzaBird, XgashX, Drowned Island Goddess, DarknessRunsCold, and all the anonymous reviewers I had. You guys kept the story going)

I groaned as I woke up, the alarm clock buzzing annoyingly close to my ear. Turning, I was happy to see my boyfriend's spot empty. I sat up and hit the off button, before waddling into the bathroom. I had bed head like crazy, so I jumped into the warm shower. I really didn't feel like working today, but Mr. and Mrs. Widmore needed the house extra clean today, (not that it wasn't always spotless after I was done). They were paying me double though, and I desperately need the money.

I got dressed in my uniform, thankful that Mrs. Widmore was not tactless enough to use traditional maid uniforms, just a knee length blue dress, I had enough people who wanted me in the full out black and white frilly garments, feather duster in hand. The sick pigs.

I grabbed my energy drink and mango as I walked out the door. I love mangoes, they were my favorite fruit. The noises of LA greeted me as I trekked down the sidewalk, stopping at the bus stop. "Hello Elizabeth." Someone said behind me, jumping nearly a foot in the air, I swung around quickly. Standing there was Daniel Widmore, leaning against his sleek black car. "Hop in, I'll give you a lift."

"You scared me, Dan." I smiled, sighing a breath of relief, he apologized and held the door open for me. I thanked him as I slid into his car. "So what's this about." I had been cleaning for the Widmore's since I was sixteen, now 20, I was very close to Daniel.

"Oh was passing you're house, saw you walking, figured I'd save you the hassle of the bus." He grinned, he had such an adorable grin. "I have to stop at Mittelos Labs, to pick up some paperwork for my father, you mind coming in?" He parked in front of the building without my answer. Looking down at my maids uniform, I decided against it.

"No, I'm going to smoke a cigarette." I said, climbing out of the car and heading for a bench. I knew from past experience, Dan did not allow smoking in his car. I sat down and watched him walk into the building. A few minutes went by, before someone dropped a folder in front of me, the paper going everywhere.

I heard the man cuss in Spanish, and I held back a laugh as I bent forward to pick up the papers by my feet. "Thank you." I heard the man say, but when I looked up I couldn't respond. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen in my life. His hair was short, dark, and brushed back. His eyes were dark chocolate orbs, that engulfed me. His voice was accented slightly, but he spoke eloquently, "Miss? Are you okay?"

I shook myself from my awe, "Yes I am fine." I handed him the papers, and saw Dan walking out of the building, no papers in hand. "Oh there's my ride." I shot a smile, "Have a nice day." I shot away like my ass was on fire. I was such an idiot, he probably thought I was a complete loser. I scolded myself gently, reminding myself I did indeed have a boyfriend.

"Hey, you are coming to the concert right? I get to play with Driveshaft." Dan said excitedly, as I turned to ask him where the papers he needed were. I was caught off guard by the infamous band name.

"Driveshaft? Really?" I sounded as excited as a school girl.

"Yeah. Got a ticket with you're name on it." Dan said, "Even got one with you're boyfriends name on it." Way to shoot my happy bubble down. I agreed to go, and bring the famous Joshua Kingston, as Dan put it, finally allowing him to me the 'boy of my dreams'. More like my nightmares.

We got to the house, and I had to start cleaning immediately. The house was huge, so by lunch I had only cleaned 7 bathrooms, the kitchen, the parlor, and 4 bedrooms. That wasn't even half the house. I went outside for my cigarette and watched them set up for the show tonight. I had already called Josh, telling him to come to the show. He agreed, because he was more of a fan to Driveshaft than I was, and that's saying something.

Penny Widmore came in earlier, gushing about how glad she was that I was attending the show. I didn't know why she was excited, we barely talked ever. But she was seeing a man named Desmond now, and was all smiles. She even loaned me a dress, telling me to give it back "whenever", but I learned a long time ago that borrowing from the rich is risky, because some will turn around and accuse you of stealing. I knew to give it back in the morning, if not right after the show.

I finished my cigarette, and hurried inside. Rushing to finish cleaning. I finished right as the sky started turning pink, so I was shooed into a spare bedroom by Penny to change. Dan and her stood outside the door, as I slipped into the skinny purple dress, that showed a tad bit of cleavage. I knew Josh would hate it, but how could I tell them no, and explain why I couldn't? I sucked it up, silently deciding to take the punishment I was bound to get later. I let my hair down, after I realized the dress showed off one too many bruises.

The long curls concealed them perfectly, and I walked out the room. Dan and Penny gushed at how good I looked, and told me Joshua had arrived. They led me out to the courtyard, greeting many guests as we passed along the way.

Joshua's eyes flashed angrily, but he kept a smile on his face, as he politely stood and pulled a chair out for me. Penny and Desmond sat with us, along with a child and two women I didn't know. We kept up the mild small talk, when a dark and handsome stranger caught my attention from the other side of the room. The man from Mittelos.

I could help but stare, and he flashed me a smile in return. I felt a hand grip my leg harshly. Uh-oh. "May I speak to you in private." He asked, I glanced back at the man, who's smile was replaced with a frown, as he watched Josh 'help' me from my chair, and out the door.

We made it to behind a delivery truck before he hit me. He raised his hand to hit me again, before someone else caught it from behind. Josh was swung around, and punched hard. "Get out of here." An accented voice growled. Josh scampered away.

Looking up I saw the dark orbs of the mystery Mittelos Man. "Are you okay?" He asked grabbing my hand.

I was chained to a tree. Surrounded by pirates. Arrows shooting everywhere. People dying. I was in a hut, with the Mittelos man, rescued. There was a cabin, as we laid in bed together. Saved from a Man, saved from smoke. White flashes of light. Running into the Mittelos man's arms. Kissing on the beach. Watching him get thrown through the air. Finding him on the plane.

Oh god, I was…remembering?

"Ricardos?" I croaked, looking up into the man's eyes, hoping I wasn't insane. He was looking at me with the same familiar look.

"Elizabeth." He smiled. Before anything else was said we kissed wildly under the stars. We knew where to go from there. It was finally time to leave.
