Their trip to Costa Rica was flying by and before Brielle knew it it was the last day before they headed to Oklahoma the next morning. They had been all over sightseeing, trying local food, and Blake and even set up time for the two of them to swim with dolphins as a surprise for Brielle. That was something she had always wanted to do. 

Blake was sitting out on the covered patio watching the rain. He had just talked to his parents and filled them in on the plans he had made for he and Brielle while they were in Oklahoma. He had texted Marieka asking her for one more favor for that special night and she agreed to do whatever he needed. After that everything was taken care of. He was both nervous and excited. 

Brielle stood under the hot spray of the shower and her mind was wandering all over the place. She had caught Blake sneaking around on his phone a few more times since they had been there. She was completely thrown off by it. There was no way he was cheating on her. How could that make any sense? He was pushing to have her in LA, he had taken them on this wonderful trip and gone to great lengths to do things there that she had always wanted to do, but had never been able to do. What was he up to?

“You okay?” Blake asked walking into the bathroom and startling Brielle out of her thoughts. 

“Yeah I’m fine why?” Brielle smiled at him stepping away from the water so she could hear him.

“You’ve been in there for a while,” He laughed. 

“It’s nice and warm,” Brielle smirked.

“I’m gonna start thinking you’re avoiding me,” Blake joked. 

“Never said you couldn’t get in here,” Brielle sassed moving back under the warm spray. 

Blake pulled his plain white shirt over his head and slid his basketball shorts down his legs making it to the shower in two long strides. He pulled the door open and slid in behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. 

Brielle turned and looked up at him stepping back so they were both under the warm spray. Neither one of them said anything as they stood there looking into each other’s eyes. 

Blake was consumed with thoughts of the upcoming week and how their relationship was about to change again while Brielle was still thinking about what could possibly be going on with him. She wanted to say something so bad, but she definitely didn’t want to ruin the good time the two were having on vacation especially on the last day. 

Blake leaned down and brushed his lips against hers in a sweet kiss. When they broke apart Blake smiled at her.

“I love you beautiful,”

“I love you too,” Brielle said quietly as Blake wrapped his arms tighter around her pulling her against him. 

The two stayed just like that until the hot water was starting to run out. They got out and Brielle grabbed a pair of Blake’s basketball shorts and one of her Clippers shirts throwing them on while Blake got dressed in what he had on before he joined her.
