Vegas, Baby!

14: La Familia.

I was still overwhelmed when Benito came out of his dressing room. Laura and Carla didn't shut up about how they had been right and how they had screamed their lunges out in our booth. I was standing next to my two friends, still brushing away a tear every now and then.

"How fast can you pack a bag?" Benito asked me, when he approached the three of us.

"Uh, depends on what the bag is for and if I have help." I responded. Laura chuckled and shook her head.

"What do you think about a vacation?" he then wanted to know, grabbing my hand.

"I would have to take some days off from work, so I don't have to go to the office for the meetings." I gave back.

"Already done." he told me. I looked at him in disbelief.

"How?" I asked.

"I called your boss and told him what I wanted to do, he said you can attend the meetings online." Benito responded and shrugged. I started shaking my head. This day was only getting better. The longer I was with Benito, the more I got used to the fact that he had unlimited options to spoil me and that he would do it every chance he got.

"We should get going, Laura and Carla are gonna help you pack." Benito said, starting to move towards the exit. Since he was holding my hand, he was dragging me with him.

"You knew about this?" I asked the two girls who were following us. Laura smirked and winked at me while Carla just nodded.

"I hope you didn't drink anything because you're driving." Benito said, fumbling around in his pocket. When he had found what he had been looking for, he pulled it out. Very familiar car keys came to my view.

"You rented the Audi again?" I asked, when he handed them to me.

"I didn't rent it." he gave back as we reached the exit. The car was parked directly in front of the door and there was a big bow on the engine hood.

"No, Benito, you didn't!" I exclaimed in disbelief.

"You didn't receive a present yet, so here you go." he responded like it was nothing. I stopped walking and felt myself tear up again. Benito, still holding my hand, chuckled and pulled me into a hug.

I had pulled the biggest suitcase I owned out of my closet. Benito was sitting on my bed while Laura and Carla were going through my clothes. I was looking through my bikini drawer. Since I only had very basic ones, I got frustrated.

"Babe, can you help me?" I asked Benito, then sighed and put all of my bikinis on the floor. At first, he just stared at me and smiled but then he nodded. He got up from my bed and started going through them with me. I had multiple black ones, a white one and one with flowers on it and of course, he immediately grabbed that one.

"Don't worry, we can buy bikinis in San Juan." he told me, when I put the rest of them back into the drawer.

"We're going to San Juan?" I asked, turning to face him. Benito nodded and smiled at me. Both Carla and Laura shot us a look, when he leaned over to kiss me.

"Alright, I think we found a lot of stuff to wear on a tropical island." Laura told us after a few moments. She had spread out the outfits she had picked on the bed. I was one of those girls that had absolutely no style in winter but as soon as the sun came out, I looked like I could attend fashion shows. Benito nodded in agreement, when he saw the many sun dresses I owned.

"I like that one a lot." he said, pointing at the dress Laura had lent me in Las Vegas. Of course, he liked the dress he had married me in.

"Sadly, that's mine and she forgot to give it back to me." she mumbled, folding the dress and putting it to the side.
