Chapter 5

"And this is our hotel!" Exclaimed John as the limo pulled up in front of a massive beach front hotel.

"Wooaaahhh," you could hear the kids say in sync as they climbed out. My neck craned upwards as I tried to find the top of the hotel, no luck.

The lobby was massive! Huge! Ginormous! My boots clicked against the shiny marble floors as we headed for check in.

"So Lily! Can you stay with the kids as Clara and I check us in?" Asks John and Lily's eyes fill with jealousy. She puts on a fake smile.

"Sure! Of course!" She says in a sickly sweet voice before turning to the kids. They sent me pleading eyes for help. Sticking my tongue out I followed John through the non existent line.

"Hello sir and ma'am what can I help you with?" Asks The lady at the front desk. She had her hair tied up perfectly in a bun and her makeup was just right. Oh how she did that, I have no clue.

"Yes, reservation name is John Smith, we have 9 staying in the Neptune suite," he said getting out the conformation number. The desk lady's eyes widened as John said nine people, she probably thought it was just John and I.

Pfff! Like John and I will ever go on vacation alone.

The lady handed us our room keys and we headed back to the group where Lily wasn't even WATCHING the kids! She was on her phone.

"Umm Lily, weren't you supposed to be watching the kids?" I said putting emphasis on the word watching so she'd get a hint.

"Don't you mean Miss James," she said smugly and John grunted.

"Lily, Clara is an equal like us, she can call you whatever she wants," he said and Lily rolled her eyes snatching a room key and strutting off to an elevator.

"So how many luggage carts will we need?" I ask John as he counts the bags.

"Ummm, two," he said unsure.

"More like one for just Lily's stuff and two more for ours," I joked and he chuckled I response.

"True true," he responds walking over to the bellhop. As I watch him walk over there I can't help but notice how tight his jeans are. They make his ass look good. Oh what am I doing!? Why am I admiring his ass!? He's my boss AND engaged!

"Clara! Clara!" Yelled Jason as he snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Yeah-hm-what?" I asked frantically not knowing I had zoned out while staring at their father's butt.

"Were you staring at dads butt?" Asked Jason with a smirk on his face.

"No!" I replied a little to quickly. He raised and eyebrow.

"No, I wasn't now what do you need?" I asked him huffing and crossing my arms.

"We want to go up to the room and get out on the beach," he said and just then John walked up.

"Here are the carts and Jason, Aria, here are ya'll's keys," he said handing them both keys as they grabbed their bags and ran for the elevator.

"Well then, let's get these upstairs, I want to go and tan," I said attempting to push the cart with Lily's stuff in it. And failing miserably.

"Need a little help?" Teased John as he began to push the cart with Lily's stuff.

"Not my fault your girlfriend packs so much," I say pushing the other cart into  the elevator. He inserted the room key and pushed the word Neptune Suite on the wall and we rode up in silence, the comfortable kind.

As we arrived on the floor we walked into a foyer with a chandelier handing from the ceiling.

"Now you better go get a good room before they're all taken," he joked and I smiled warmly at him.

"They'll move if I ask, and besides I'll probably share with Aria," I say laughing.

"Or Lily," he adds and I look at him, shocked.

"What? Isn't she sleeping with you?" I ask him and he shakes his head. I swear my jaw drops to the floor.

"We are in a rough patch, so I figured some of the younger kids could sleep in the king bed with me," he said shrugging his shoulders. There was a moment of silence before I finally speak up.

"Well I'm going to find a room and go out on the beach, I'll see you there," I said nodding before walking into the living room/kitchen/dinning room area where there are two different hallways that lead to the rooms on either side. Making my way down one hall I find Aria inpacking.

"Mind if I share a room?" I ask and she lights up.

"Not at all! You're pretty cool and I might just borrow some of your clothes," she laughs. As I unzip my suitcase I find my best bikini in hopes I'll catch a guys attention (not anyone really specific, California guys are HOT!)

The bikini was a light blue that matched the color of the sky when it's not cloudy. Pulling on a yellow cover up and some sandals I make my way back into the main area where I can hear an argument down the hall.

John's POV

As I walked down the hallway where my bedroom was I opened the door to find Lily on the bed in a silk robe.

"Oh you're here, let's have some fun," she says closing and locking the door behind me and letting the robe fall into the floor. She wore lacy black lingerie and twirled her hair.

"No Lily, and move your stuff, you get your own bedroom," I say throwing my suitcase on the bed. She stays planted her jaw touching the floor.

"W-what?" She sputtered and I looked at her.

"No Lily, you stay in your own room, this is mine," I repeat. Throwing her the robe and showing her the door I add,

"Oh yeah, your suitcase is in the foyer."

Before closing the door on her face.
