What Happens in Vegas: Doesn't stay in Vegas

Chapter 29

A long awaited chapter... 

What could possibly happen...

Enjoy...

Mayas POV 

Monday has come around and we are back to work. The week goes by quickly with all of Carina's meetings and plans. We go to two shows and play pool with Gabri a few times and she always had a different girl with her every time. We also beat her at every game we played. 

Mornings start with me throwing up then taking a shower. Nights, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, if not before. Carina works hard as always. She has made some deals and plans on expanding the company here in Vegas. The weekend however,  is our time. Two days of no work, no business, just the two of us. 

Saturday starts with a couples massage, then relaxing in the suite, watching classics and a few interruptions due to how sexy my wife is and our hormones. Mostly mine.

Sunday is spent as tourists again, visiting as many sites as possible. Monday and Tuesday are spent away from the trip, looking at potential locations.

It's Wednesday morning and I'm pulling my brush through my wet hair. Carina walks in behind me and gives me a smirk through the mirror. "I have a surprise for you." she says. 

I set my brush down and turn to face her. She is wearing a royal blue tie with a light blue shirt. She hasn't put her suit jacket on yet but is looking incredibly sexy. "Are you going to give me any hints or do I have to wait?" 

She hugs me around the waist. "You'll have to wait until tonight, bella."

I pull back quickly. "Not fair! You're going to make me wait that long? It'll drive me crazy."

She give me a quick kiss to the forehead. "You drive me crazy every minute. It's hard to focus on work with you around. 

'Same here, you sexy Italian Goddess.' I think to myself.

...........

Carina places her hand over mine to stop my pen tapping during our last meeting of the day. She has had to do it two other times already throughout today. I can't help it, I'm seriously going crazy. I'm dying to know what she has planned. I clear my throat. "My apologies, Mrs Deluca, Ladies, Gentlemen." Carina gives me an amused look. I know she is enjoying this. She told me about the surprise just to get under my skin.  What a bitch!

She continues the meeting as if nothing has happened. An hour later the meeting finally comes to an end and I could not be happier. Carina has the guards stay behind. 

Her surprise is only for me.

We start out at a bar. I remember sitting here the last night of our first visit. She leads me down a corridor to a row of shops. On my right there is a window with a jewellery on display. My wedding ring came from this store, it's the same label that's on the inside of my black box. I understand her surprise now. She is filling in the blanks of that night. How did she find out? 

I'm completely surprised. This information has been bugging me for a month now. 

Carina escorts me inside the store where we are greeted by an older gentleman in a grey suit. "Mrs Deluca. Welcome. Please take a seat." The mans name is Pierre. I come to find out he is the person who sold us my ring. He offers us drinks then proceeds to tell us about our last visit. "The two of you were having a conversation about that ring, it was on display in the window." He says this as he points his finger to the window. He then continues to recount that night for us. 

"Maya, you said you thought the ring would be your ideal wedding ring and Carina said she wanted to buy it for you. You laughed and said and I quote 'Why are you going to marry me?' and then Carina said why the hell not." Pierre chuckles to himself. He continues his story about how we bantered back and forth like an already married couple. 

That's one reason why he remembers us so clearly. He said he was surprised when he received a phone call from Carina asking if he remembers the purchase a few days later. Carina and I thank the man and move along to our next stop.  

We ride down the strip to whats known as the downtown strip. It's the older more original part of Las Vegas Boulevard. Carina makes a couple of left and right turns and we stop in front of a government building. "This was our next stop. After I bought the ring, we came straight here. Now, if you look over there." She points across the street and there are wedding chapels everywhere. They are all outdated buildings but they're conveniently placed near the marriage license bureau. No wonder there are so many people that get married on a whim here. 

Vegas makes it so easy. 

My eyes are drawn to a white gazebo that is beautifully decorated with twinkling lights and greenery, sitting next to one of the buildings. "Oh that is so pretty." Carina lets out a small laugh. She takes me by the hand and leads me across the street to the gazebo.

A woman is a black pant suit and pearls greets us. I'm confused at first then she hands Carina a file. "Mrs Deluca, I believe this is what you asked for. Mrs Deluca hello again. I'm Marcia. I was your officiant l here in this gazebo." She speaks directing the last part towards me. I just shake her hand in aww at what Carina is doing for me.

Carina looks through the file that contains official looking records and a disc. "Thank you Marcia, This is perfect." 

Carina takes me to a steakhouse on the top floor of one of the old casinos. "Was this part of that night too?" I ask her between bites. 

She shakes her head. "No I was told this is one of the best places in Vegas to eat. Since we're already over here, I thought I would bring you to eat." The food is delicious and the portions are huge. I've notices that Vegas has an issue with their portion sizes. I can't even finish my dinner and I'm not even thinking about dessert. 

We make our ay back to our hotel room and Carina puts the disc in the laptop. and pulls me into her arms. "Do you want to watch it now, or shower first then watch it in bed?" 

Oh, a shower and bed does sound so tempting but I am dying to see the video. "Now. I can't wait any longer." She laughs then pulls me into her even more so I am lying between her legs and she is behind me. She pulls up the video and we watch as our wedding plays right before our eyes. 

There I am in my long pencil skirt with my hair in a bun. Carina in her usual business suit. Marcia is speaking but I am not listening to a word she says. I'm shocked at how relaxed and calm the both of us look. Our eyes are glazed but otherwise I would never have guessed we were drugged. 

We look like a happy couple that has been together for years. Carina is holding me as tight as possible. I have my head on her shoulder with my hands over hers that are resting on my tummy.  Eventually Marcia says kiss the bride and Carina pulls me in. She kisses me hard and long the same way I am used to her kissing me now. 

My mind is blown. I thought we would be crazed and making out everywhere, barley keeping our clothes on. I did not expect this. Carina closes the laptop and looks at me. No words. There are literally no words to describe what we both just saw. 

It's as if we were always meant to be. 

'Cough' 'Cough' 

Well now we know what happened that night.

What do you think?
