👌💋

"Where are we going?" I asked a bit nervous because he was so angry with everything. He was even angry at Ann which is rare. Well rare to me.

"The fastest and closest place to go to when you just want to get away from California."

I continued to look at him and he turned to me.

"Las Vegas."

*************

We were currently on the I-15 N towards Vegas.

I was cuddled in a blanket that I stuffed in my suitcase the last minute.

"You hungry?" He asked.

"No. I'm fine."

My phone kept flashing. I knew it was Ann wondering where we were at or going.

I didn't want to answer it knowing Abraham would get even more mad and it would just make matters worse.

"Are you sure we are just passing Barstow?"

"Yeah just pull over. I need to use the restroom."

He exited the freeway and we ended up in front of In-N-Out.

We both got off and it was freaking hot. I was craving that air conditioner in the car.

We got inside and I went to the restroom.

While I was in there I started to think of ways to get Abraham back to himself again. He was acting different since he yelled at his family.

So much for his "bro" day with Danny.

I walked out and seen Abraham getting the box of hamburgers and animal style fries. Plus two shakes. Really.

"Really." I said.

"I didn't eat very well at home so I'm pretty hungry."

"Me too." I smiled and confessed.

His lips rose a little for a smile but it wasn't all the way there. Almost though.

It wasn't as packed when we got here but once we got our food it was packed. Vacationers on their way to Vegas as well.

We surprisingly got a table for two.

We started to eat and I stared at him making sure he felt my eyes on him. He noticed but would ignore.

"Abraham?"

"What?"

"You know I'm looking at you."

"Yeah it's noticed. You want to talk and I'm not in the mood."

"Very well then." I grabbed some fries and put them in my mouth.

"But I mean that's fucked up right?" Not in the mood eh?

"How none of them wanted anything to do with your mom?"

"Yeah..but no..I'm mad because not one of them could just keep her away from me for a couple of days. I could care less if she has shelter over her evil head."

"Now you don't mean that."

"Oh yeah I do." He said serious.

"This little getaway was a good thing then." I said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it gives me time."

"Time for what?" Time to change your mind!

"You'll know by the end of our little trip."

He smirked and bit into his burger.

***********

We arrived at Las Vegas like at 12:30 and I was tired of sitting for over five hours.

We pulled up at the Bellagio hotel. This seemed a little pricy if I say so myself.

The bellhops welcomed us and took our bags on one of the carts.

Abraham grabbed my hand and we made our way towards the check in line.

"Hi welcome to the Bellagio." A young man said.

"Hi I'd like a suite for three nights two days."

"Okay let me see what's available." He checked his computer.

"Hey can you see if what time the restaurants open here." Abraham asked me.

"Um sure." I walked to hotel services and asked. I know why he asked me to do this. Because he didn't want me to see how much the rooms cost.

I made my way back to Abraham and seen the guy give him rooms keys.

"We're all set." Abraham said.

"The restaurants open at 7:00."

"Perfect." We made our way to the elevators to go to our room.

We stopped at a pretty high floor and I just know the higher the floor the more expensive it is.

Once we got to the room and Abraham opened the door I was blown away.

"Holy shit." I said astonished.

Abraham turned to me and smiled. His mood was shifting little by little.

I was amazed by the room. I have never stayed at a hotel this superb.

"Our home away from home. Well for now." Abraham said when I started looking around.

I walked out to the terrace in amazement. I heard the bellhop come and go. But all I cared for was the view.

All the lit up hotels around. This is another city that never sleeps year round.

I felt arms wrap around me from behind.

"Let's go to bed." Abraham whispered in my ear. He kissed me on the spot right under my ear. I shivered.

I turned to face him and interlocked my hands on his neck. I was thinking on the way and even more now about something.

"You know the first day I met you I thought you were a piece of turd actually...." He smiled an actual genuine smile. "....I also thought you were this blocked off person who didn't let anyone in on who you truly are. I didn't notice until right now at this moment that I was very entranced by you. Since the day I saw you I was always thinking about you even though I didn't like you. Now I know it's because I saw right through your tough and closed off ego."

He was looking deep into my eyes as I was looking into his.

"Abraham I think I am the only one who sees through it and knows when something is up with you. No offense but even Ann doesn't see it. Why is that?"

He kept looking in my eyes not answering. "Why are you different with everyone except me?"

He was quiet but I knew he was breaking through. "Do you remember the first day you came and I asked where you were going that night?"

"Yeah when we went to that burger place."

"I went with you and you must've wondered why." I was curious now that I remember. We hardly knew one another.

"Yeah I did actually."

"I'm not sure why I went but when you said how you were entranced by me I now know why I went. It's because I knew you were different. You entranced me into you too. More than you'll know. I was myself around you. I could do and say anything and you didn't give in to my hidden self." He brought his forehead against mine. "That's why you see right through me....because I let you."

(Play Song)

I sighed in relief and I'm not sure why.

I kissed him with so much intensity it made me light headed. He followed and walked me into the wall. My back was against the wall and his hands were on my face.

He left my mouth and started making his way down my chin to my neck. He sucked and kissed. Then he started going down to my chest. He stopped kissing but his lips were on my chest right on my heart.

"Alicia." He kissed my heart very slowly. "I love you."

Those three words. Three words. Three words with so much meaning held in between them.

And he just said them. To me.

I brought his chin up so we were looking into one another's eyes. "Say it again." I said.

"I love you." Tears formed in my eyes.

He kissed the tears that rolled down my cheeks.

I grabbed his shirt with my fingers and held on tightly till my hands formed into fists. I kissed him with no clue on what was going on except him.

He caught the gist and acted aggressively just as I was. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him.

He kicked the bedroom door open and continued to kiss me. The lights were off but there was enough light from the hotels through the windows for us to see one another.

He gently set me down on the bed and crawled his way up my body. This was definitely going somewhere tonight and I was okay with it because I knew he loved me.

He started to lift my shirt up from where it was tucked into my skirt. His fingers tightened around my body. I felt his crotch start to rub against me.

I sighed.

I went under his shirt and dragged my hands across his chest, abs and back. His skin was so warm and soft. But his muscles were visible under my fingers. He took off his shirt and let me grab into his entire body. His body was on top of mine pushing me against the mattress. A good pressure.

We were deeply making out and touching one another. He lifted my shirt up and took it off. I started to slide off my skirt since it was getting in the way. He didn't notice I was doing this.

But when he felt a different sense of fabric under him he looked down and noticed I was just in my bra and panties.

He touched my thighs and smiled. "My comfort zone." He brought his lips down on mine once again and was rubbing my thighs.

I dragged my hands down his back and under his waistline. He got the message and unbuckled his pants and took them off. We were skin against skin. His rubbing kept up and I was accepted and offering.

But then I remembered why we were here in the first place. I needed to tell him something that I have known for awhile I just wasn't sure if it was true. But the feelings I am getting now have always been there.

I stopped his kissing and held his face.

"Abraham...I love you too."
