She grabbed her bag and left her apartment. Heading to the airport, it was her week off and she wanted a different scenery. She boarded the plane and off she was to Miami. She got off the plane once it landed and headed to her hotel. Once she checked in she went up to her room. She placed her luggage down and headed straight for the bathroom. She took a quick shower, just to wash off the plane feeling. She got dressed in a body-tight black dress before heading out of the hotel. She found a club, she quickly got in and went straight to the bar.
"Can I get a black Russian?" she asked. "Of course sweetheart," the bartender said as he winked at her. "Thank you," she said as she waited for her drink. "A woman who knows what she likes," someone said. "Of course I do," she turned to them. "A black Russian though?" he chuckled. "I like my drinks like I like my men, strong," she said as she grabbed her drink. "I see that," he smiled. "Put it on my tab" he nodded towards the bartender. "I'm a woman who can pay for her drinks," she said. "Trust me I know that" he smirked. "Good," she said. "What's your name?" He asked. "I'm Ethan," he said. "I'm Riley," she said as she took a sip from her drink. "Nice to meet you" he nodded as he took a sip from his drink. "You as well," she said as she looked at him.
She leaned against the bar, just taking in the scene. She kept taking sips from her drink, once she finished her drink she put the glass down. She walked over to Ethan and grabbed his hand, leading him to the dance floor. He placed his hands on her hips as they moved to the music. She turned so her back was facing him, grinding her hips towards his. Brushing against him as she moved to the beat. He kept his hands on her hips as he moved with her. He grabbed her hand and swung her around, dipping her slightly. She smiled as she stood up placing her arms around his neck. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, allowing his thumb to brush against her cheek. She leaned in towards him, placing her lips against his. He kissed her softly but slowly turned it into a passion. His tongue entered her mouth as she pulled against his bottom lip. His hand placed on her neck, keeping her close as she grabbed his shirt. She tugged at his bottom lip as she pulled away, turning away from him. He grabbed her hips pulling her back against him. His breath against her neck as he kissed her neck. She turned to face him grabbing his shirt once again. Pulling him to her as she allowed her lips to linger against his.
"Another drink?" she whispered. "After you," he said as he never looked away.
She grabbed his hand and led him back to the bar. She ordered another drink but this time he also ordered the same as her. She clink her glass with his as she looked at him. She never looked away as they both took a sip of the drink. He choked slightly as he didn't realize how strong the drink was. She laughed slightly as she watched him.
"Question," she said. "Shoot," he replied. "How many tattoos do you have?" she asked as she traced over the one on his arm. "Too many" he chuckled slightly. "I would love to see them all" she smiled as she grabbed his shirt, pulling him towards her. "Even the one on your ass," she laughed. "How did you know?" He looked at her. "Lucky guess" she looked at him. "Really?" she asked. "Maybe," he said as he took another sip of the drink. "Oh ok," she said. "I'm staying at a hotel if you want to have a nightcap," he said. "I'm staying at a hotel as well," she said. "So guessing you're not from here?" she asked. "No, I bounce between LA and NJ" he nodded. "Oh cool," she said. "I'm from NY" she looked at him. "Spring break?" he asked. "Something like that" she grabbed his hand and led him back to the dance floor.
They danced to a few more songs before heading out of the club. He grabbed her hand and led her down the street to his hotel. It wasn't only his hotel because it was the one she was staying at as well. He hit the button for the elevator, as they waited she pulled him towards her. Placing her lips against his, kissing him hard and passionate. Their tongues playing to see who dominates, she pulled his bottom lip as the elevator beeped. They got on the elevator and once the doors were shut they were on each other again. His hands caressed her sides, running his hand up and down. Playing with her shirt as he moves his lips down to her neck. Sucking gently as she grips the back of his neck keeping him close. The elevator stopped on his floor and he led her down to his room. She wrapped her arms around him as he fumbled with the keycard. She chuckled slightly and took the key card from him and opened the door. He pushed her against the door as he placed his lips against hers. She pulled up his shirt and over his head, placing her hand on his bare chest. He moved his lips down to her neck as he gripped her shirt in his hand. Lifting it over her head, placing his lips back against her skin. She pushed him towards the bed as she undid his pants. Allowing them to fall to the ground, he walked out of them. He placed her on the bed, slipped his hands up her thighs. Pulling off her skirt and panties at the same time. He got over the top of her, leaving a trail of kisses down her body. They surely enjoyed their first night in Miami together. She was snuggled up to him when she woke up in the morning. She winced as the sun was peeking through the window. She slowly got out of bed making sure not to wake him and gathered her clothes. She quickly got dressed and slipped out of the room, heading to her hotel room. She took a hot relaxing shower and got ready for the day. She put her bikini on under her outfit.
"Last night was fun but today will be relaxing," she said to herself as she checked her phone.
She had a text from her best friend Kodi. She smiled as she replied and started a conversation with Kodi. Kodi was already in Miami and they decided to meet up at Crandon Park. Riley put her things in a bag and headed out the door. She caught a taxi and was on her way. She stopped to get food before making her way there. Once she exited the taxi she saw Kodi, she smiled as she rushed over to where Kodi was standing.
"Hey, you," Kodi said as she placed her arm around Riley. "Hey, why didn't you tell me you were coming down here?" Riley asked. "Last minute trip, got in last night," Kodi said. "Last night" Riley smiled to herself, thinking about Ethan. "Something happened?" Kodi asked. "You mean who happened?" Riley smirked as they walked over to a park bench. "Who?" Kodi asked. "Some guy" Riley rolled her eyes. "Meeting him at the bar and boy last night was amazing," she said. "Nice" Kodi nodded as they started to eat. "I could get used to this view," she said. "It's so nice here, '' Riley said. "Better than the cold at home," she said as she looked out towards the water. "Yea that's why I decided to come down here," Kodi said. "Wait is that Ethan," Riley said as she looked down the beach. "Is it?" Kodi asked. "I think so but he's too far away to know for sure" Riley turned her focus back on her food. "Riley?" Ethan asked as he noticed her. "There is my runaway girl," he said as he walked over to where they were. "Runaway Girl" Kodi looked at Riley. "Yea a runaway girl," Riley said as she looked at Ethan. "I didn't think we would see each other again," she said. "Well, maybe it's fate" Ethan smiled as he sat down next to her. "Maybe," she said. "You two would be cute together," Kodi said. "Hush" Riley rolled her eyes. "I don't think I'm strong enough for her" Ethan playfully pushed Riley. "He can't take a black Russian," she said as she pushed him back.
After Kodi and Riley finished eating they joined Ethan on the beach. Ethan helped Riley get ready for the water, which included getting her undressed. He pulled her close to him, she rested her hand against his chest. He tilted her chin up and kissed her softly. She smiled against his lips and kissed him back. He put sunscreen on her back and she helped him reapply his sunscreen. As soon as he knew she was protected he picked her up over his shoulder. Running towards the water, she screamed and laughed as they got closer to the water. She spanked his ass right before they plunged into the water. The waves crashed over them pulling them apart. He broke to the surface before she did, he looked around for her. He saw her and helped her to the surface. She wiped the water from her face and gasped for air. He pulled her to him, keeping her close to him.
"You ok?" he asked. "Yea I'm fine" she nodded. "Don't tell me my runaway girl can't swim" he brushed the hair from her face. "I know how to swim but the waves caught me by surprise," she said. "It's ok I can be your strong man," he smiled. "Oh hush," she said as she splashed him. "Oh it's on," he said as he splashed her back.
They splashed each other until another wave crashed over them. Separating them once again, he stayed under the water and looked for her. She broke the surface first and reached under, grabbing his arm. He came up to the surface and pulled her to him. After hours of fun under the sun, they came back out of the water. She took her towel and dried herself off before getting dressed. Sitting on the sand leaning back on her arms as she looked out at the water.
"Beautiful isn't it," he said as he sat next to her. "Yea it is" she nodded. "Miami is an amazing, beautiful city," he said. "and warm," she smiled. "True that better than NJ this time of year," he said. "Yea NY is the same" she looked at him. "But you also live in LA, you are used to this," she said. "Yea but it's still nice to get away" he looks at her. "True," she said. "Want to go to dinner?" he asked. "I could always eat" she looked at him. "There is a restaurant not too far from here," he said. "Alright I'm game," she smiled. "Hey you two," Kodi said. "I'm going back to the hotel, it was a long night than being in the sun I'm tired," Kodi said. "Alright, it was nice seeing you," Riley said. "We have to hang out sometime this week," she said. "Of course," Kodi smiled. "Have fun" she said as she nodded towards Ethan. "She will," Ethan smiled.
Kodi hailed a taxi and left. Riley and Ethan left the beach and started walking towards the restaurant. He held the door open for her as she entered. The waitress seated them right away, Ethan slipped into the same side as Riley. She looked over the menu as he did. The waiter walked up and Riley ordered drinks for them both.
"Surly likes to be in control," Ethan smirked. "Not in the bedroom though" she winked. "Oh I know" he bit his lip as he looked at her. "First guy to dominate me" she leaned in and kissed him, pulling his bottom lip. "Really?" he asked as he grabbed her chin, keeping her close. "Yes," she kissed him again. "Trying new things?" He looked at her. "Yea it's spring break so why not try something new," she said.
The waiter brought them their drinks and they ordered their food. While they waited they played 21 questions to get to know each other better. It surely spiced up the conversation and it was never awkward between them. Their food arrived and things got quiet as they ate. Once they finished he paid and reached for her hand. She grabbed his hand and left the restaurant, they just walked around taking in the sights of Miami.
"We should get a tattoo," she said as they walked past a tattoo shop. "Are you sure?" He looked at her. "Why not?" she looked at him. "Are you sure?" he asked again. "Yes I'm sure," she said as she pulled him into the tattoo shop. "Hello we are doing a special today, 2 tattoos for the price of one but here's the catch you have to play Russian roulette" the guy smiled. "Meaning we put money into the machine and get whatever tattoo design that comes out" Ethan explained. "I'm game," she said. "Me too," Ethan said.
She put the quarters in the machine and got a design. Ethan followed and got his design. They both got butterflies, just slightly different. He went first and got the butterfly on the back of his neck with his other tattoo. She decided to get the butterfly tattooed behind her ear.
"That's a painful place," the guy said. "I'll be fine" she nodded and sat down. "You can hold my hand if it gets too much," Ethan said.
She moved her hair to the side as the guy started the tattoo. It was only painful in a few places and she squeezed Ethan's hand a few times. Once he finished she looked in the mirror and saw it the best way she could. Riley loved it and decided to get a heart tattoo on her ring finger. Once she was finished they paid for the tattoos and left.
"I can't believe you did that," Ethan admitted. "Hey you only live once" she smiled as she looked at her hand. "Those two tattoos are perfect for you," he said. "We kinda got matching ones" she laughed slightly. "But different in their way," she said. "Yea" he wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they walked.
They finished the night off by getting ice cream before heading back to the hotel. She decided to call it a night and say her goodbyes to Ethan before heading to her room. Once she got to her hotel room she went straight to bed. Playing in the sun all day wore her out. She was knocked out until she heard the siren go off in the hotel. She got up and grabbed her jacket and phone, slipping her shoes on before exiting her room. Everyone was leaving the hotel because the kitchen was on fire. Ethan ran over to where she was standing.
"Good Morning, '' Ethan said as he stretched. "Yea, it sure is morning," she said as she yawned. "I need coffee," she said. "There is a cafe down the street, I could go get you some" he offered. "That would be greatly appreciated," she said.
He went down to the local cafe and got them coffee and something to eat. He returned and they sat on the curve and ate their breakfast. She enjoyed her coffee as she started to truly wake up.
"Thank you," she said. "No problem," he said. "We should stop meeting like this," he chuckled. "We do stay in the same hotel room so it's bound to happen" she smiled. "I'm not complaining, I like spending my week with you," he said. "Me too" she looked at him. "So what do you have planned for today?" he asked. "I'm not sure, kind of let the day tell me," she said. "I want to go to the zoo, it looks like a free-roaming zoo," he said. "Interesting," she said as she took another sip from her coffee. "Would you like to join me?" he asked. "Sure why not" she looked at him.
Once they were allowed back into the hotel they both went and got ready for the day. They met back at the lobby and were off to the zoo. They walked around for a while just looking at the animals. They feed the giraffes and the parrots. She grabbed his hand and led him to the Safari Tram tours. They got onto the bus and went for a ride.
"Wait, I'm not too sure about this," she said as they went into the safari. "Don't worry I got you" he chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her. "It's cool but I'm kinda worried," she said as she watched the animals. "What if they eat us?" she asked. "The animals in the safari won't hurt you" he kept her close. "Aw look at the deer," she said. "See, they won't hurt you," he said. "Ok this isn't too bad," she said as she relaxed in his arms. "As long as I'm holding you" he smiled and kissed her temple. "Yea" she nodded as she leaned against him.
They got off the safari and looked around some more. He pulled her into the snake exhibit, where they saw a green anaconda. They also saw frogs, lizards, and also an eyelash viper.
"You like snakes?" she asked. "I always thought they were cool," he said. "Yea they are but I wouldn't want to be near one," she said as she looked at the anaconda. "Snakes are harmless, well not these but most snakes are," he said. "Yea I know" she nodded. "That's a pretty snake," she said as she looked at the viper. "Yea it is" he nodded. "Look at these cool frogs" he grabbed her hand. "Poison frogs," she said."But cute frogs" she looked at them. "So vibrant in color" he admired the frogs. "Can we go check out the crocodiles?" she asked. "Of course, right this way," he said as he offered his arm. "You're cheesy" she smiled as she linked arms with him. "Oh you will learn to love it" he smiled as they walked to the crocodile exhibit.
Once they finished checking out the crocodile they rode another ride. They finished up by looking at the elephants before leaving the zoo. There were food trucks in the parking lot so they grabbed some food and sat on a picnic bench. As they ate they watched the sunset. Once they finished eating they got a taxi and went back to their hotel. She went with him to his room and spent the night with him.
"So what movie?" he asked. "Just pick one," she said as she slipped her shoes off and got into bed. "Alright well this is it," he said as he picked a movie and laid back.
She laid in his arms, resting her head against his chest. They barely made it through half of the movie before falling asleep. In the morning she was awakened with him getting out of bed.
"Now who's running away?" she asked. "I'm going to the bathroom," he said. "uh-huh," she rolled on her back, stretching her arms. Once he finished in the bathroom he returned to the bed. "I have bad news," he said. "What?" she snuggled back to him. "I leave tonight," he said. "I thought you were staying until Sunday?" she asked. "I was supposed to but my brother needs me," he said. "oh ok," she traced his tattoo, not knowing what to say. "I want nothing more to stay longer but my flight leaves tonight," he said. "Well we have one last day together," she said. "And I want nothing more to spend it with you" he kissed her forehead.
They ordered room service and decided to not waste a minute of their last day together. They went to the beach, the jungle and ate at Versailles. They also went on a tour of the European-Style Mansion at Vizcaya. The day was full of fun and just enjoying their time together.
"So our time is winding time, so what's the next thing you want to do?" she asked. "Just walk down the street with you in my arms," he said. "We can do that" she smiled as she wrapped her arm around his waist. "How is this going to work?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "What do you mean?" she asked. "When I go back home and you go back home?" he asked. "Will we still want to be together?" he questioned. "I don't know," she said. "I enjoy my time with you and would like to see where things go between us," she said. "But our words are so different," he said. "But if we want it to work we will," he said. "Yea we will," she said.
They walked around for a while before heading back to the hotel. She watched him pack his bags and once he finished they were off to the airport. She walked him into the airport, not sure what the future held.
"I'll call you when I land," he said. "You better, I need to know you are safe" she wrapped her arms around him. "I will" he leaned down and kissed her softly. "Good and when you are NJ give me a heads up" she looked at him. "Of course," he smiled. "Now this isn't goodbye, just see you later," she said. "Yea" he nodded and kissed her again. "I didn't expect to meet anyone," she said. "And to be sad to see them go" she looked down. "Don't be sad" he tilted her chin up. "We will make this work," he said. "Yea we will," she nodded. "See you later" he kissed her forehead and squeezed her to him
He pulled away from her and grabbed his bag. Walking away from her as he made his way to his gate, he turned around and waved to her. She left the airport and went back to the hotel. She stayed until Sunday and then caught a flight back to New York. Back to reality once her feet hit the ground in New York. She wasn't sure if it would work with Ethan but she wanted to try everything that she could to make it work. When he was in New Jersey she would drive up there on the weekends to spend time with him. He would also drive down to New York when she had to work, just to spend time with her. When she had a long weekend she would fly out to LA to be with him. It was hard at first but once they realized what they meant to each other it got easier. He finally moved back to NJ to be around his family as well as be close to her. A fun week that wasn't supposed to mean anything changed their whole world. It was fate that brought them together but love is what keeps them together.
