Scarlett
Ashton and I hopped in the taxi and told the driver where we were going.
His face lit up when we said our destination.
"Punta Cana, huh?" He smiled and chuckled a bit, he had a thick accent but I spoke Spanish, so I could understand it.
What? You expect me to have a Dominican best friend and not understand her when she's ranting in Spanish?
"Yeah. Beautiful there." Ashton answered.
"How many times you've been there?"
"Just once." Ashton chuckled.
The driver waited a moment before speaking. "...perfect for honeymoons."
"Actually we aren't married, yet."
"Ah, I see. Lucky you two to find the one so early, ah?"
We all chuckled at that.
The rest of the ride was nice. We talked about Dominican Republic's fine features and landmarks.
But really, I loved every aspect about it.

"Bye, thank you sir." I politely waved.
"It's Danny to you two. Have a nice vacation." He winked and drove off.
That was one thing I loved about D.R.
Almost everyone you met greeted you with such love, usually back at home whenever I greeted someone on the streets they would put their heads down and walk off confused.
But, we're here and that's all that matters right now.

"Okay, you ready to tell me now?" Ashton sat across from me on our king-sized bed.
"Tell you what?" I brushed it off like it was nothing. It wasn't that I didn't want to tell him, I knew eventually I would have to spill everything out. But, I never imagined it like this.
"Scarlett." He held my hand and stared at our intertwined fingers. "You can tell me anything. Don't you trust me?" He kissed my hand and made puppy dog eyes.
I chuckled and shook my head. "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I...I just-"
"Yes?" He followed all my movements with his eyes, very attentive of what I was going to say next.
"Fine. But this is going to be a long night."

"So that brings us to the big mistake I made."
Ashton closed his eyes, trying to process all the information that I was giving.
It was a lot and quite frankly, I was giving it pretty fast.
"Okay, I'm ready now. Continue." He scooted closer to me and tightened his grip on my hand.
