with perfect bangs that just reached her eyebrows. It was never the same color. Currently, it was black with purple streaks. I wasn’t sure I even knew what her natural color was. She was absolutely gorgeous, with her pale blue eyes and dark hair combination. In fact, she reminded me exactly of the character Kenzi from my favorite Syfy show, Lost Girl. They had the same look, attitude, and style.
“Hey, Morticia!” I hollered at Sasha, who was still on the phone with Ben. “Plane’s leaving without you.” Jess and I gathered our purses and moved toward the line.
When she finished her call, Sasha joined us. “Morticia? Zoey, really? That was so high school,” she laughed.
It was our turn to board the plane and we slowly made our way down the aisle. Why did it always seem like people went in slow motion once they made it through the door of the plane? We found our numbered row and stowed our purses under the seats in front of us. We chatted excitedly about our trip until the plane was ready to take off.
As the plane slowly taxied toward the runway, I sent Andy a quick text.
We’re getting ready to take off. I’ll try to call you tonight when we land. Love you.
I was about to shut my phone off when he messaged me back.
Miss you already. I love you.
I wanted to have a great vacation, but I felt bad for leaving. We just started our relationship and I felt like I was leaving him at a bad time. We should be working on fixing what had gone wrong, but I was on a plane leaving the country instead.
The pilot’s voice came over the speaker, telling everyone to power off all devices. I shut off my phone, threw it in my purse, and found my book. The three of us talked while the plane took off, but once we were in the air we made ourselves comfortable for our flight.
The pilot gave us the all clear to turn any devices back on so I pulled out my phone and powered it up, along with my iPod. I needed to keep my mind occupied, so I put in my earbuds and opened my book to the last page I’d read.
Luckily, my book was good and kept me engrossed all the way to Phoenix where we had to change planes. Unfortunately, we were forced to run to catch our connecting flight to Cabo. By the time we made it to our next terminal, I thought my hip was going to give out on me. As soon as we were in the air, the flight attendants offered us drinks so I asked for water and popped a pain pill.
We landed at Los Cabos airport around six that evening where my aunt and uncle were supposed to pick us up. “Zoey!” a voice called to me while we waited for our luggage. I turned around and spotted my aunt Maria and my uncle Victor in the crowd. I went over to them and embraced them both.
“It’s been too long. I’ve missed you guys,” I cried. It had been a few years since I’d last seen them. I’d never been to their house before in Cabo and they hadn’t been to Sacramento since my grandmother died.
Jess and Sasha wheeled our luggage over to where we stood and I introduced everyone. As Uncle Victor loaded our belongings in the back of their van, Aunt Maria said she planned a huge dinner for us that night.
We got on the road to their house. I turned on my phone and sent Andy a text.
Hi, Sexy. We’re here. On our way to the house now. I’ll call you later. They have a big dinner planned so it might be a while.
I waited for a few minutes to see if he would text me back, but he didn’t.
The five of us talked on the way to the house about the things we wanted to do while we were in Cabo. Because we were vacationing in February, my aunt suggested we add whale watching to our excursions. It sounded amazing to me, and it would be calm and relaxing.
Relaxation was exactly what I needed.
It was a busy time of year in Cabo, so we would have plenty to do and new friends to meet. We would definitely have an exciting time if we went out on the town, which we planned to do the Friday before Jess and Sasha
