Naala stared out of the car window in awe. The view was breathtaking, from the clear skies to the crystal blue sea. This was paradise and everyone was revelling in it. To her side, Dave sat with Sinai in this lap, a 3 cars had been arranged for the whole group, Dave, Sinai and Naala were in one, Mama Sonia and Chanel were in a car with Taina and the last car had Mia, Ace and Azure with Neveah.Â

"Beautiful right," The driver said, looking at Naala through the rearview mirror.Â

"Yes, I'm in love already, I don't want to leave," Naala pouted, leaning on Dave's shoulder.Â

"It's not the only beautiful thing on the island," The driver flirted. He was a dark skin man with a bald head. His white teeth shined as he spoke and his brown eyes heavenly sparkled. He resembled Morris Chestnut.Â

Dave clenched his jaw and held onto Naala's hand tighter. She looked up at him and pecked his lips,

"What's the matter?" She asked softly, trying not to wake Sinai who was peacefully asleep in his lap.Â

"Nigga over here don't know how to control his eyes," Dave muttered sizing the driver up.

"I'm not paying him any mind baby," Naala said looking over at the driver who was looking directly at her through the mirror.Â

Naala's phone pinged and she looked down, it was a message from Taina in their group text messages.Â

: this little girl is blowing man

: Imma give her one time to look at me crazy again.

: I peeped the looks on the plane 👀

: me too, we might be checking someone this trip

: I'm gonna speak to her.

: good luck x

"Amir?" Naala said lifting her head up from his shoulder, Dave was busy looking at the view.Â

"What's going on with your sister? I really want this trip to go well - you know how hard I tried to plan this,"Â

Dave huffed, "I don't know man, I'm gonna talk to her,"

"Don't be too harsh,"

"Nah, I'm gonna be harsh - I'm done with all this nice shit, she don't have no respect" Dave barked back at Naala.Â

"I get it Papa but be calm, we're on vacation," Naala rubbed his arm softly,

Dave nodded in understanding, "I like this new nickname," He bit his lip at her and leaned down,

"It's because you're my papa," Naala giggled, playing with his beard,

"Daddy you mean," He smiled before attacking her lips. Their lips intertwined perfectly, the taste of his minty breath infiltrated Naala's mouth. Their tongues danced furiously together, they were cut off by the driver clearing his throat.Â

Naala pulled back and bit her lip, embarrassed they were caught. Dave placed one more kiss on her lips and leaned back in his seat.Â

"Here we are, Casa Verde," The driver mumbled, his tone now more deflated after watching their display. Naala looked out of the window and was taken aback.Â

They approached the white gates slowly, the house was pretty much secluded, there was no other house on the street. There was a huge balcony overlooking the oceanfront, which was why Dave picked it. His and Naala's room faced the ocean, he couldn't wait to for her to see it.Â

The 3 black vans pulled into the driveway. Everyone started to file out of the cars, all in awe. The girls ran out and towards the pool,

"Sinai be careful please," Naala called out as she got her bag out of the back.Â

"I got it," The driver winked, pulling her luggage out of the back with ease. Dave didn't realise because he was helping his mother with her bags.Â

"Thanks," Naala smiled softly before grabbing the bag and walking over to her friends.Â

"He is fine as hell," Mia mumbled looking over at the driver as Naala walked over.Â

"Sit your pregnant ass down," Ace mumbled, pushing her head a bit. Mia rolled her eyes and linked arms with Naala,

"So Ms. I have an itinerary, what's on the 'itinerary' today?" Mia questioned walking into the house behind everyone.Â

"We are just chilling today then we have dinner," Naala said before walking off to help people find their rooms.Â

The interior of the villa was even better than the outside, the large windows let the bright shine in, illuminating all the marble surfaces. All the furniture was a crystal white and in pristine condition. Everyone walked the halls trying to find their rooms, luckily Dave had called the staff a few days before and asked them to put names on the doors. Taina saw her name with Von's printed on a door and pushed the door open. All the rooms were the same, they had a California Queen Sized Bed with a big closet and a connecting marble bathroom, a few of the rooms faced the oceanfront showcasing the beautiful beach.

Everyone went to their rooms to unpack and to change out of their travel clothes. Naala had sent a text to everybody to wear swimwear and come back down to the pool.Â

Taina and Azure with Neveah were the first to leave their rooms,Â

"Mommy, can I go and get Sinai?" Neveah asked, tugging on her mom's arm.Â

"Yeah sure baby, be careful on these floors," Azure said as the marble floors were very slippery and she didn't want them to end up at the ER on vacation.

"How you doing mama?" Taina asked Azure as they both watched Neveah skip towards Naala and Dave's room.Â

"I'm getting there T, it's hard but what can I do?" Azure shrugged,

"You've got this! We are gonna be here every step of the way, don't forget that" Taina assured as she linked arms with Azure, leading her to the kitchen which was right by the pool.

The staff all stood lined up in the kitchen, serving cocktails.Â

"Thank you," Taina said grabbing a fruity drink and stepping outside, the pool glistened under the hot sun.

"Damn, this is strong as hell," Azure said from behind her, cringing at the bitter taste of the vodka.

"Just what we need," Taina giggled,Â

The girls walked over to the pool chairs, choosing seats close enough to the pool.

Next out of their rooms was Mama Sonia and Chanel, followed by Mia and Ace. Chanel walked behind her mom, her camera high up, attempting to get cute pictures to send to Von.Â

"You gon' slip and crack your skull if you don't leave that phone alone," Sonia sassed looking back at her daughter. Chanel tutted and continue to snap, posting some stories on her Instagram stories.Â

"Leave her to it mama, enjoy your vacation," Mia giggled walking beside Sonia,Â

"Oh Mia baby, help me take a picture, " Sonia said, pausing and then passing her phone to Mia. Mia smiled and took the phone, snapping a few pictures for the older woman. Ace waited by the bar as the bartender made him a drink. Sinai and Neveah ran past, in their little swimsuits, excited to get in the pool.Â

"Here you are mama," Mia said as she handed her the phone,Â

"Ooo I look fine, let me send this to Ernie," She mumbled walking off after thanking Mia.

Mia walked over to the bar and leaned on Ace, groaning,

"I want a drink," She pouted looking up at him,Â

"They got coke," Ace pointed to the cooler behind the bar with a smirk on his face.

"I hate you," She said, slapping his chest, "I miss alcohol," She stated.

"King will be worth it," Ace said, pushing his luck. Mia side eyed him,

"I told you it's a girl," She said with a stale face,Â

Ace laughed and put his hand on her flat stomach, Mia was barely showing, if someone saw her they wouldn't even think she was pregnant.Â

The bartender handed Ace the drink and Ace thanked him. He led Mia out to the pool where Taina and Azure were mid photoshoot,Â

"Y'all taking pictures without me?" Mia whined, walking over to them.Â

"Girl I've already posted," Azure laughed,

: Paradise 🌴

"Come here then you big baby," Taina said, sitting on a pool chair, she handed her phone to Ace who happily took it,Â

"Get it sis," He mocked in a girly voice as the girls posed together. After he took a few pictures he handed the phone back to Taina who squealed,

"These are fire Ace, damn," Taina said as she analysed the photo, switching to instagram to make a post.

Latainax: That's my bestfren 👭🏾Â

"You can't even tell I'm pregnant," Mia said, touching her flat stomach.

"You look good baby," Ace said squeezing her butt lightly.

Azure and Taina fake gagged,Â

"Eww couples," Azure said jokingly before turning back to the pool to check on Sinai and Neveah who were happily playing in the pool. She loved the relationship they had with each other, it reminded her of her and Naala.Â

Chanel sat on the other side of the pool, looking at the girls with envy. She could see them taking pictures, listening to music - just vibing.

"You can go over there," Sonia said looking up from her magazine at her daughter. Sonia was enjoying the rest and it was 10 times better in the sun.Â

"I don't want to be around those fake bitches," Chanel mumbled hoping her mother didn't hear her cussing.Â

"I don't know what's gotten into you little girl but I'm on vacation and you are not about to stress me out. Either go other there and enjoy yourself or stay here looking sad as hell," Sonia said before pulling her sunglasses back down and redirecting her focus onto her magazine.Â

Chanel ignored her mom and looked down at her phone, which was buzzing from messages from her best friend.Â

Chanel analysed the picture and everything clicked. That's why Taina looked so familiar - that was Von's bitch. Her heart started to beat faster as her best friend had sent Taina's instagram picture which clearly shows they are both on holiday.Â

Chanel sucked her teeth and ignored the message. She was furious at Von, if she had known this was his girlfriend she would have never come on this trip. She thought about sending him a message but decided against it, she was starting to think that Von wasn't worth the trouble he was soon to bring.Â

Naala and Dave came walking out of the villa looking very shifty. They waltzed over to the group and were met with knowing looks.Â

"Took y'all long enough to change," Azure said smirking,Â

"Yeah - I - we - " Naala stuttered, trying to come up with an excuse as to what took them so long. Dave smirked and kissed Naala's cheek before walking over to Ace who was chilling by the outside bar.Â

"Girl don't even lie, we peeped the crook in your step," Mia chuckled as she saw how flustered Naala had become. "Y'all called me out at the airport," Mia shrugged, "Payback's a bitch"

They all laughed out loud, Naala had been indeed caught out.Â

"These cocktails are strong right," Naala winced as she finished her first one,

"That's what I said, NaNa's alcoholic ass has been knocking them back," Azure said, agreeing with Naala.

"We're in Cancun bitchessss!" She shouted, twerking a little.Â

"Let me go check on 'Nai" Naala said before walking towards the pool. Sinai was still swimming with Neveah, soaking up all the sun.Â

"'Nai, come and take some pictures," Naala called out standing by the pool. Sinai groaned, she hated when her mom forced her to take photos.Â

"Love leave that girl alone," Dave said from the bar, winking at Sinai who happily continued playing.Â

Naala sulked back over to her friends and sat down on one of the pool chairs.Â

"He told you," Azure laughed as she watched Naala pout.Â

"He's gonna come over here in a second, touching all on her and apologising," Mia said as they looked over at Dave who was sipping his drink and staring at Naala.Â

Naala shot up and handed her phone to Azure, who was closest to her.

"Take my picture," She said as she posed in front of the pool. She just wanted to gain Dave's attention.Â

Dave looked over and saw Azure taking pictures of Naala and put his drink down walking over there. He grabbed her cover up from the pool chair and walked behind her, wrapping it around her waist.Â

"That's better," He whispered into her ear, causing chills to run down her spine.Â

The girls all giggled at the look on Naala's face, she pretended she was annoyed but that was exactly what she wanted him to do.Â

She turned around and pouted, "I wanted to show off my bikini," She lied, her lips looking very kissable to Dave,Â

"Nobody needs to see that but me," He said softly, that was his woman and he would be damned if everyone on instagram was perving on her.Â

"Naala look, it looks good," Azure said showing her the phone,

"Mmm," Naala mumbled, "I like it" She said looking over the photo,

"You look perfect," Dave smirked, "Zuri, send that to me." Azure nodded and airdropped it to him. Dave immediately made it his screensaver,Â

"Now I see your face all the time," He said before pecking her lips.Â

The girls coo'd at that display of affection. Naala's love languages were certainly acts of service and physical touch and Dave did all of them - perfectly.Â

They all chilled by the pool until the chefs were done with lunch, they all walked back into the villa; the girls lightly buzzed from the cocktails. A buffet was laid out for them with every type of food available. There was fruits, cakes, burgers, fries - anything you could think of. The children were pretty much ready to sleep so they had lunch and went for a nap in Azure's room. That left only the adults, they were in the living area talking amongst themselves, all stuffed from their meal.Â

A door bell rang through the house, causing everyone to look towards the big white doors at the front of the house. One of the staff, pulled the double doors open and a tall figure darkened the door way,Â

"Von?" Taina said, confused as to why her boyfriend stood at the door.Â
