It was spring break and we had all planed to go to Vegas for the week little did I know that my entire life would change. I sat in my last class of the day going over the list of things that we would need or that I had packed making sure that I hadn’t forgotten anything.
As soon as 11:30 hit we were all loading up and driving to the airport. Clair wanted us all to drive all the way up there lets just say after many disagreements we told her that it would be way to complicated to drive all the way up there and back down and none of us wanted to be around Meagan, 6 months of pregnancy had made her cranky and nauseous.
We told her that she should stay home but she has always wanted to go to Vegas so we couldn’t deny her of that. Our teacher was in the middle of giving us a paper to write over break when she got a phone call she had to take. Megan came over and told me with her phone in her hand “Tony and Lane are putting a few more things in the car. Then they’ll be here to pick us up. But Clair is still in class.” I groaned and put my hands over my face lane packed a bag for me that I planned to leave behind full of VERY revealing clothing including many types of lingerie and skimpy bathing suites they were all packed in a frilly pick bag. She had figured that I would “forget” it so she took it with her.
“The pink bag?” Meg asked “yeah” I sigh. “Now there is no way I can get out of it.” Our teacher came back in and meg went back to her seat. Mrs. Mckenny smiled “I guess your very lucky today if it wert for my daughter calling you would have gotten a 2,000 word report due. But instead…just go have some fun!”
I gathered all of my things before i got up and walked with Meagan to the door. The car was parked at the end of the campus with all of our luggage in it. Tony offered to let us use his ford explorer and to drive us to the airport. Tony had a 1987 Corvette that was his pride and joy after many arguments Meagan convinced him that it was an unpractical car for a new baby and very unsafe so he was forced to sell it to his nephew.
It was only a short walk to the end of the campus. "So...i can’t believe that he's letting you go all week with us." She sleeplessly smiles. I groan "when?" was all i had to ask "Wednesday. Are you mad?" she asked concerned she was always worried about everyone but herself "Yeah kinda" i replied honestly "im sorry but at least this way you can all enjoy your time without a Prego and Tony always wanted to play the slots."
We came around the corner to see Tony leaned up against the car smoking. I cringed it was a very nasty habit and i hated when ever he lit up around me. My father died of lung cancer a few years back and I still couldn't stand it when someone had a "cancer stick" he never smoked inside a building or there apartment infact if you had never seen him smoke you wouldn’t know that he did. I laughed as I saw Lane trying to cram all of her things above the wall of suitcases in the back. Now understanding why he needed to light up lane was a special person "Hey Lane, Clair won." she looked up at me then at Tony "Tuesday really? Dang how does Clair always know?" We arrived at the car now and Meagan and Tony were just looking at each other questionably before sharing a hug and small kiss.
They looked at me knowing that I would give them a straight answer instead of Lane who would beat around the bush "We all made a bet to see how long it would take Tony to come to Vegas and Clair guessed Tuesday. She is a really good guesser i guess." i explained. "Who’s a really good guesser?" Clair asked coming around the corner coffee in hand. “You" I told her bored. "Sweet you all owe me 50 bucks." she said while jumping up and down while trying not to spill her coffee. "You started betting before you got to Vegas?" tony asked and like always he talked to us as if we were three year old, his gaze locked on the steaming cup of coffee in Clair's hand. "Yes" she said stubbornly "I also grabbed a lip i swear your like and food and drink Nazi when it comes to your cars." That fact was true he hardly allowed Meg to go and get groceries while in his car if he was with her she was forced to bag everything twice so it wouldn’t spill. i couldn’t wait for his rude awaking when the baby was finally born.
We all piled into the car for a forty-five minute drive to the airport. After we all got in it was me, Lane and Clair all piled in the back seat with Tony driving and Meagan riding shot gun. I looked at my phone to see what time it was when I noticed I missed a text from my sister saying that they would be home Sunday. I sighed half relieved and half disappointed. I leaned over to the front seat so everyone would be able to hear me “Hey guys my sister is back home from going to Mitch’s dad’s house with all the kids so im going to see them and Rickie as soon as I can so…I guess ill go up there Monday and stay till Friday. Sorry about ruining our gal time.” I heard Clair and Lane both scoff before Clair said “please we all know how much you wanted to see them and Rickie. How long has it been since you’ve seem him? Years? Besides it not you whose ruined this trip its Mr. lovely dovey who cant leave his pregnant wife to live her life he has his head up her butt all the time.” We all laughed while tony looked through the review mirror “Hey don’t talking about my wife’s butt no matter how round or-“ all three of us cut him off while we covered our ears and made lala noises as if we were 3. When we uncovered our ears we saw Meagan hold her stomach and yelling she was going to pee herself.
After we stopped at the gas station so Meagan could change her pants we made it to the airport with just enough time to check our bags then board the plane hopefully security wouldn’t take forever. Lucky for us the plane was ten minutes late but none the less we still hurried through the airport to our terminal Meagan and Tony shared a very emotional good bye before we boarded. But now we were all on a plane headed to the happiest place on earth for adults. I quickly fell asleep with my head rested on the window and Lane humming next to me.
I woke up to Lane shaking me like a rag doll yelling “its Vegas baby” in an Austin powers voice i gradually turned my head and saw the aerial view of Las Vegas it was stuning to say the least my plan was to check into the Hard rock with lane then leave Monday and go to Cessily's house then come back friday
