Making My Way to You

Chapter 15

Months flew by and before she knew it it was already February

Delilah was sitting at the counter when the front door opened and Caroline, Lacey and Reggie walked in. She eyed them carefully. "What are you doin here?"

"You are comin with us." Caroline reached around her and closed the computer.

"Where are we goin?" She asked as she was pulled to her feet.

Lacey went to the closet and pulled a suitcase out. "Let's roll."

"Wait a second..." Delilah protested as Reggie shoved a hat on her head.

"No time to talk. The plane is waiting." Caroline grinned.

"My phone...." She grabbed her phone as they pushed her out the door.

Delilah looked confused as Caroline climbed into the SUV and shut the door. "Someone tell me what is goin on....."

"We will once we are safely on the plane, taxing down the runway so you can't escape." Her sister in law laughed.

Her phone went off in her hand. It was a text from Hilary. "See you in a bit!" Attached was a picture of her and Carrie.

"Ok, ya'll are freakin me out. I'm getting nervous."

"Don't be. We promise nothin bad is goin to happen." Lacey winked.

Delilah looked at her sister in law and her friends. "Ya'll are up to somethin."

"Yup."

They pulled into Mercury's private air strip where the jet was waiting. She gasped. "Ok now I am freakin out. A private plane? Mercury's at that? What in the hell?"

"Chill. It's good." Caroline opened the door. "Let's go. I am not letting you out of my sight until that plane is in motion."

She tugged Delilah towards the plane as another SUV pulled to a stop and Hilary and Carrie both climbed out. Carrie grinned. "She still has no idea?"

"Nope. And we will tell her once we are in the air." Lacey laughed.

The six of them climbed on board "We will toast once the plane takes off." She passed out glasses. "Everyone in their seats."

Delilah sat down next to Caroline and across from Reggie and Lacey. She took the glass she was offered. "Someone...."

"We will." Lacey snapped her seatbelt. "Calm down."

The plane began it's climb into the blue sky. Reggie nodded at Caroline once the pilot turned off the seatbelt sign. "Do it."

Caroline smiled and stood up. "Ok, Lils, you wanna know what's goin on?"

"Yes! Tell me."

"We..." She gestured to the group. "We, with the help of your amazing fiancée, my soon to be brother in law, are giving you a bachorelette week in The Bahamas. Six days and five nights of nothing but sun, sand, drinks and good times. No work, no email, nothing... but us."

Delilah's mouth dropped open. "What?"

"Yup. We wanted to do something nice for you. You always help everyone else. It's our turn to spoil you. Cole happened to agree when I called him about it. He booked this amazing hotel for us and even sprung for massages for all of us. And he said have drinks on him the first night. He said to make sure you enjoy yourself and not to worry about anything. He will see you when we get back."
