"Do you think we should get another detective on the case?" I ask Monica. The two sat on the front porch of the house while Rosa had her afternoon nap.

"no , i don't think so, i feel like we will just get the same result". She says by twisting the top of her iced tea and taking a long sip. I examine her closely and notice the bags under her eyes and the worry etched on her face.

"I'm not sure what to do, what do you think?". She asks, turning her head to look at me, the wind blowing her brown hair away from her face. At the moment that was the hardest question she could've asked me, neither of us knew what to do but at the moment i knew i didn't want her to worry, she needed a break from it all.

"I'm not sure but you look like you could use a little break," I said.

"I would love a break but that isn't about to make this any better" she says with a small smile on her face, nodding my head i answer.

"You're right but let me take you out for the weekend".

"Like...a date?". She questions, with her eyebrows raised.

"Yes , like a date" I say with a smile. Monica looks deeply in thought as I wait to hear her answer.

With a deep sigh, she answers "Ok, that sounds really good, thank you". She leans over landing a kiss on my cheek. I turn her head further towards mine and place a kiss on her lips.

"Abuela, are you sure you're ok with us going?". I turn my body to look in the backseat of the car at my grandmother. Monica sat next to me in the passenger seat reaching into my grandmother's medicine bag to make sure she had all the necessary medicine in the bag she needed to take. She knew if my grandmother had done it there would've been nothing in it since she hates taking her medication.

" Dominic my love, i said yes already so stop skiing" Rosa says, playfully hitting Dominic with the magazine she was riding on the drive here. Opening his front door, Dominic hopped out of the car and went to his grandmother's side, opening her door for her and helping her out of the car.

"Plus i haven't seen my other grandbabies in quite some time, i'm always with you, they probably think you're my favorite". She laughs. Once retrieving her bags out the trunk Dominic places them on the ground and turns to Monica as she speaks to his grandmother.

"Now ms. Rosa we will be calling making sure you took your medicine". Monica says with a smile. Rosa playfully rolls her eyes and gives both Dominic and Monica a hug and a kiss on their cheeks.

"Have fun kids". She yells from the front door. Dominic could see some of his relatives waving from inside the home, he waves back and gets back into the car, driving to his next destination.

"You ready?"

"Yes". looking up from my phone, Monica is dressed in a deep red dress, the outfit is so tight on her body that it looks like it could be glued on her. The dress allows me to look at her breasts from the v cut it has, grabbing her hand I spin her around and take a look at the back of the dress, her ass looks even better in the fabric. Turning her back around, I admire her curled hair and her makeup.

"You look beautiful baby". I say giving her a kiss, she smiles up at me and gives me another kiss.

"Thank you! Alright let's go" hand in hand we leave our hotel room and make our way to the restaurant. Arriving at the restaurant, we walk to the front hostess and request a booth for two. I let Monica sit in first and slide in right next to her on the seat.
