Little Havana Nights

Costa Rica

The Hernandez couples along with Marty, Linda and their families, were invited by a Dominican couple (Luis and Isabel Reyes) who were old friends of Linda on a family vacation to Costa Rica in the Summer of 2011.

"This is so exciting!" Said Ariel. "I hadn't been back to Costa Rica since we moved here!"

"I've never been." Said Cassandra. "What was it like living there?"

"I guess I never really told you now that I think of it. It was limbo, to tell you the truth." Said Ariel. "We wanted to go to America so badly, and we couldn't fly directly there, since those 'freedom flights' had long ceased to operate. It was just me, Gabe and my papi. We missed the rest of the family. You and Danielle were definitely one of the lucky ones."

"I suppose so." She said. "How come you couldn't come when they were?"

"It was hard for my mother." Said Ariel. "Cuba had gone bad, but she still couldn't bring herself to leave it. I think she had hope that things were going to get better, but they weren't. So we left."

"I guess you're about to make new memories of Costa Rica now." Said Cassandra.

"Absolutely. We're staying in a nice villa, close to both the city and nature, and with you, baby..." Ariel flirted, touching his wife's body, making Cassandra giggle and blush. They still had the same chemistry as when they were married. The same was true for Gabriel and Danielle.

They were staying at a villa, and it was agreed that the couples would each pay their share to lessen the costs.

"August is the best time to go to Costa Rica." Said Linda. "The Summer really kicks in then."

"Wow!" Everyone said when they entered the villa. The parents had their own rooms while the girls shared one room and the boys another.

The women enjoyed a relaxing soak in their posh bathtubs that had the view of the trees, while the other side of the villa had a skyline view of San Jose.

Gabriel saw his wife with a towel wrapped around her as she lay in bed reading a magazine.

"Oh Danielle..." He called to her flirtatiously. "Look who's hard for you!"

Danielle giggled as she turned around. The towel came off and she spread her legs for her husband and they made love.

The first day everyone decided to view the nature landscapes that Costa Rica had to offer. They took pictures in front of the waterfalls before going to the beach.

However, that evening, Orquidea was acting up. As the family were getting ready at the villa to go out to dinner, she was upset that she didn't get to play in the park, and that she wanted to go.

"It's late Ora, we can't go now." Said Danielle. Orquidea's behaviors wasn't getting any better, so Danielle took her into the bathroom to scold her. Orquidea screamed at her mother trying to protest, but her mother remained firm.

"¡Pequeña descarada traviesa!" Said Danielle. As a result, Orquidea had to go to bed early. She hated it, but there was no arguing with her parents.

The next day they went to explore the city and museums.

"So much has changed, hasn't it Ariel?" Said Gabriel.

"Si." Replied Ariel. "I barely recognize it!"

"Olivia!" Orquidea called to her cousin. "Your favorite!"

Orquidea was pointing to a poster of Shakira, the Latin pop star Olivia was a huge fan of.

The OIivia and Orquidea were very close, and always liked to point out whenever they saw something the other liked so the other could see it too.

They went to dinner in the city center where they were recognized by a few fans, but nothing too big of a deal.

Cassandra was admiring the view from the window in her and Ariel's room when Ariel approached her, caressing her hair.

"Remember how honeymoon in Mexico?" He flirted, making Cassandra giggle and blush.

"Some of the happiest days." She said.

"Wanna re-live them?" Said Ariel.

"Let's." She replied. And they started to kiss tenderly, making their way to the bed. They gently undressed each other, and made love so tenderly, remembering their honeymoon when they were newlyweds.

They caressed each other's bodies, pleasuring each other to orgasm before falling asleep in each other's arms.

Everyone went to bed on a high, but the next morning, while everyone was still asleep, Marty went for a morning walk before returning to the villa to ask what time was checkout time, to be told that it was up to the Reyes' since it was their villa.

"What do you mean their villa?" He asked.

"They own the villa." Marty was told. So the entire time everyone else was paying to stay at the villa when the Reyes' got to use it for free!

After breakfast, Marty came back to find that the Reyes' had awoken when he confronted them about their scam.

"Please explain it us, right now." He demanded. Linda, too, was astounded.

"I can't believe you!" Said Linda when the confrontation happened. "You of all people, especially you Isabel! How could you?"

The Reyes' had no answer, but to avoid anymore trouble, they paid back the Hernandez couples, as well as Marty and Linda, in full, and in turn everyone except for the Reyes' decided to leave and go back to Miami early.

The Hernandez couples were able to get a direct flight to Miami for that evening, and were relieved to be back home, especially since it was late so they could go to bed right away.

Meanwhile, back in Costa Rica, the Reyes', humiliated, tried to clean up the place so that Isabel's sister and her family could use it when they came over. The children assisted in the cleaning, however, their attempted scam came back to haunt them as they found out monkeys had made a mess in one of the bedrooms after everyone had left since one of the windows was left open.

Luis tried to fight the animals for his protein powder, but they attacked him and the rest of the family.

"Serves us right I guess." The couple thought, after the whole incident. They felt they knew they were being punished for trying to scam.
