We dance and sing beckoning our men onto the dance floor this time around. Once they arrive we all drift off into our own little bubbles on the dance floor. Mekhi spins and twirls me all over the dance floor easily keeping up with me and my energy. After a while we make our way back to the VIP section for a cool down and a few drinks. This time I limit myself in the drinks I have and opt for more water instead.
"Are you enjoying yourself tonight," Mekhi asks draping his arm across my shoulders.
"Yes, I'm having fun and enjoying myself," I answer with a smile.
"Hmm, that's good," he replies nodding his head.
"I'm going to the bathroom, does anyone else want to come," Naomi asks as she makes her way to the exit.
"I'm coming," the rest of us girls chime in as we get up to join her.
"Be careful," Mekhi says as he let's go of my hand.
"I'll try," I say nodding my head.
"Don't worry, there will be no trouble like the last time," Rylie says with a huff and we leave to find our way to the bathroom.
"This time we will all leave at the same time and not get side tracked by anyone or anything," Nova says as we walk to the bathroom.
"I swear if I see that idiot's face I'm going to punch him in it," Rylie says punching her hand.
"And I will gladly hold him down," Susu adds confidently.
"We're not letting some obsessed asshole ruin our last night of vacation like he did the first night," Jasmine chimes in as well.
"Thank you ladies for having my back but I can assure you that if I run into him tonight, you guys will be the least of his worries. I will kick his ass myself," I say determined.
"Well let's just hope that it doesn't have to come to any of that and we can enjoy the evening without any drama," Naomi says peacefully.
"You're right I would love a drama free last night of vacation with my friends and man," I say agreeing with her.
"Exactly so let's enjoy ourselves and leave everything else for when we get back home," Melissa says with finality and we all agree with her as we finally make it into the bathroom.
As stated we all entered and exited the bathroom together and was able to make it back to our section without any hiccups.
"How was it," Mekhi asks as he stands to pull my chair out for me.
"It was fine," I say with a smile as I sit down.
"Good," he says.
"Nervous," I say with a mischievous smile.
"No, just worried about you," he says smoothly handing me a drink.
"Oh, thank you," I say taking the drink from him then taking a sip.
After resting in the lounge we dance the night away until we decide that we are finally ready to leave. We board the party bus back to the hotel but end up on the beach instead of in our rooms. We walk arm in arm singing and swaying loudly on the powdery sand of the beach having the time of our lives. We take a ton of pictures and tell each other we love one another a million times the way drunk girls do all while our men watch over us.
"Kaiiiii, catch me," I yell as I giggle and run up to him before jumping into his arms.
"You sure have a lot of energy," he says catching me and I wrap my legs around his waist.
"I'm just so happy," I say running my nose along his neck taking in his scent.
"Mm, I see," he says as he begins walking to the shore plainly.
"Are you upset," I ask him trying to read his mood.
"No, I'm happy that you are enjoying yourself. Why do you think I'm upset," he says playfully swatting my behind.
"I don't know," I answer as I think about why I asked that question.
"It's alright, I'm not upset," he says with his panty busting smile and it takes my breath away.
"Okay," I say as I try to recover but he then attacks my lips.
He kisses me passionately until we are both short of breath.
"Does that show you how happy I am," he says and I unlock my legs from around his waist and place my feet on the sand.
"No it doesn't," I say with a smile looking at him while I caress his face.
"Why not," he asks leaning into my touch.
"Because you are good at revealing what you want and hiding the things you don't want me to know. It's okay Kai, I know it's hard being you sometimes just remember that I'm not here just to be a piece of eye candy or a distraction from your problems. I'm here hoping to be a solution or part of it, a partner, someone who can share some of your burdens and take some of the stress away from you. I may not be your equal but give me a few years and I will be able to help you with your troubles head on and not from the sidelines," I say to him with an embarrassed smile as my face heats up from my loose tongue.
"Don't be shy now…but you're right. I can't help but think about lies ahead of us. I have a feeling that it will be a troublesome journey for you staying with me and I don't want that for you," he admits.
"How troublesome," I ask him feigning seriousness wanting to lighten his mood.
"It's hard to say," he says softly and I remove my hand from his cheek.
"Well, I guess we should say goodbye to one another after tomorrow," I say biting my lip and turn on my heel and run along the shoreline trying hard not to burst into laughter.
"Shit…Lena," I hear from behind me and I push forward.
"Lenaa," I hear the calls of the girls and I wave them off as I begin to slow down.
"Baby wait," I hear Mekhi closer than I expected.
"No," I say as I begin to take off running again.
"Got ya! What's wrong," he says filled with worry as he grabs me around my waist from behind so I cover my mouth with both hands trying to control my laughter.
"Mm mm," I shake my head and he finally turns me around to see me giggling uncontrollably.
"Are you laughing at me," Mekhi says incredulously with wide eyes.
"Yes," I say letting my laughter go.
"What's so funny," he asks me and I shake my head so he tickles me relentlessly.
"Okay, okay I'll tell," I say giving up.
"Speak," he says.
"Kai, I already chose you. I told you before that's all that matters. We're on the beach in the middle of the night and I'm definitely tipsy enjoying myself out here and you're thinking about our future. Let's leave that for when we get home and enjoy our last night here," I say wrapping my arms around his neck then tip toeing to kiss his cheek.
"Okay, let's go," he says throwing me over his shoulder.
"Ahh, put me down," I screech causing the others to look over at us.
"We're headed in for the night guys," Mekhi says after he squats to pick up our shoes he dropped in the sand when he was chasing me.
"Good night," I yell and wave while trying to hold on to Mekhi.
