I woke up in the morning to someone knocking on our hotel room door. Randy was in the shower so I went to answer it. Nikki and Brie were standing there. "Hey." I said groggily.

"Were you still sleeping?" Nikki asked.

"Yeah Nicole. Some of us don't get up at the crack of dawn." I told her.

"Well get up, shower and pack your bags. We are all going on a trip. You and Randy, Me and John, Brie and Daniel, Dean and Renee and Roman and Galina." she said.

"Okay. Why?" I asked.

"Because you are engaged and we have yet to celebrate."

"So this is your version of an engagement party?"

"Yep. Now get moving. We leave at noon." she said before walking away. I closed the door and looked around the room. It was a mess. Damn. Randy and I were crazy.

The bathroom door opened and Randy came walking out in just a towel. I couldn't help but stare. He was just so hot. I heard him laugh and I snapped out of it and looked at his face. "What?" I asked.

"You know you're drooling, right?" he asked.

I shook my head and looked at the ground.

"Who was at the door?"

"Nikki and Brie. Apparently we're all going on a vacation to celebrate our engagement and we leave at noon." I told him.

"Oh." he said.

"Yeah." I said letting my eyes wander all over his body.

"You like what you see?" he asked.

I snapped my head back up and looked at him again. "I always do." I said.

He walked up to me and put his arms around my waist. "Well, you know we do have some time before we have to leave." he said.

"Very tempting." I said.

"Well let me tempt you into a definite decision." he started kissing around on my neck. It felt so amazing.

"Well, I have to take a shower but..." I said.

"But?"

"Screw it. Come with me." I pulled him into the bathroom and we took a shower together, among other things. It was amazing.

I zipped up my bag and grabbed it. I was dressed in jeans, a plain white T-Shirt, my white converse shoes and my black sunglasses with jewels on the side. Randy was dressed in jeans that fit him just right and a black T-shirt that clung to him like a glove. It was really hot. He also had on his grey tennis shoes.

We walked down to the lobby of the hotel and met up with everyone. I walked up to Roman and Galina. "Hey Roman." I said hugging him. I moved on to Galina. "Hey girl. It's so good to see you."

"You too. You look great." she said.

"I look great? Dude, you are probably in better shape than I am. How's JoJo?"

"She's good. She misses Roman but we all do so. She's getting big too."

"Well, I can believe that she's getting big but I don't know anyone who would wanna miss this fool." I said joking around and pushing Roman lightly.

He put his arm around my shoulders. "Have I mentioned lately how great this vacation's gonna be? All of us together?" Roman said.

"Yeah. It's gonna be good."

"Yeah. Congratulations on getting engaged. I mean, wow, that's huge." Galina commented.

"It is. I'm happy." I said.

"Good. Can I see it?" she asked referring to the ring. I lifted my left hand and showed her. "Wow. It's beautiful. Randy is so lucky to have you."

"Actually it's me who's lucky to have him. He's wonderful." I said.

We talked for a little bit longer and then we all got on the bus that was gonna take us to the airport. I guess we were going to Hawaii. It was gonna be good to get away though. Especially with all of our friends.

**************************************

We arrived in Hawaii and to the house that Nikki and John had rented for us. It was John and Nikki so you could bet that it was really nice. Randy got out of the van before I did and then held his hand out to help me out.

I looked at the house and gasped. "Wow." I said. "This place is beautiful."

We all walked in the house and took a look around. John walked up to us with a key. "Since this vacation is about the two of you, you both get the master bedroom. Here's the key." He handed the key to Randy.

"Thank you John." Randy said.

John looked at me and winked before walking with Nikki to their room. Randy put his arm around my shoulders and we walked to the master bedroom. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. I walked in completely in awe. This room was absolutely beautiful and the bed was huge.

Randy set our stuff down and then walked over to me. "You know, this room is almost as beautiful as you." he said.

I chuckled and looked at him. "You're so corny sometimes." I said wrapping my arms around his neck. His slithered around my waist.

"Yeah but it's true." he said.

"I'm gonna clean up and change. Nikki mentioned something about going to the club tonight." I said. I grabbed my bag and walked into the bathroom that was attached to the bedroom. I changed into a black short dress that had a jeweled halter. I also put on my black strappy heels before checking my hair and makeup. It was all good.

I walked back out to the bedroom and Randy had to double glance at me. He smiled and walked up to me. "Have I mentioned lately how much I love you?" Randy asked slithering his hands around my waist.

"You know, I think you have but it's okay. You can tell me again." I said.

"I do love you. So much. I am so happy to be getting married to you." he said.

"Me too." I said. I kissed him and then we went out with everyone. It was such a fun night. We had drinks, toasted to our engagement, hung out by the pool and just had a nice time talking and having fun. It was a successful vacation and I loved it.
