Beautiful Hue
Chapter Eleven

As the plane descends I wake Bridget. I sit my seat up and she stretches to wake up. The plane lands smoothly. The sun shines brightly in the sky, peaking through the shades on the plane.

The flight attendants stand, they give us directions to exit the plane and we both stand to leave. We walk through the empty airport and go directly to baggage claim. As we leave baggage claim we rent a car and make our way to ’The Ritz-Carlton’.

We drive through all of the beautiful palm trees in our Mercedes Cabriolet that she suggested we get. We ride with the roof lifted we notice people day drinking early, surfers gathering, families at the beaches, birds flying and pets roaming freely with their owners.

“Reminds me of Santa Monica.” She says.

We arrive at the entrance of the extravagant hotel. A young man with a valet vest approaches.

“Sir, Ma’am. If you don’t mind I’ll take your vehicle from here.” He says. “You can leave the keys inside of the car and keep this ticket with you when you are ready to leave.” He insists.

Bridget and I exit the car and we grab our suitcases. A woman concierge meets us at the entrance and takes our suitcases. We check into the hotel and follow the concierge to our room.

“Deluxe King room with coastal view sir.” The lady says, as we stand in front of our door.

“Thank you, ma’am.” I grab our bags, as the concierge opens the door for Bridget.

“Benjamin ! Really?” She cries.

“Thank you.” I say to the lady, as I tip her. “You like it?” I ask Bridget, as I walk into the room with our bags.

“I love it!”

I look around and see that the room is the perfect size for us It has a desk where I can still work, a huge bed and a bathroom cleaned to perfection.

“Look at this balcony!” Bridget says, as she runs to the sliding doors. “This view.” She says, as she opens the doors. I walk closer to her and we listen to the waves pick up.

We walk out further, passing the chairs on the balcony and we stare out into the ocean and enjoy the view.

“Have a seat.” I say to her.

Bridget takes a seat. I walk back into the room, I go to the fridge, I grab a bottle of champagne and two Cabernet wine glasses. I take the bottle and glasses back to the balcony and sit them on the table.

“I requested this last night.” I say to her.

“Ben, you didn’t have to do all of this.”

“You’ve lit up my life. I want to make sure I show you a time you never forget.”

I pour each of us a glass. We toast, sip our drinks and enjoy the smooth breeze from the wind.

“You promised me something you know.” She says, in a seductive tone.

“I did, didn’t I?” I say, as I take her glass. “Does my breath still smell?” I ask, in a playful way.

“Of course not.” She says, as I grab her hand. I pull her into the hotel room.

I turn on the television and go to the music on demand station while she kisses my neck. I go to the R&B music station and ’Planez’ by Jeremih and J . Cole’ comes on. We dance slowly to the music and the breeze from the ocean flows into our room. The sound of the rising waves send a sense of relaxation through my body. I kiss her forehead, then her neck. I take off her shirt and slowly kiss her clavicle, as I remove her bra.

We dance in a circle and we stop with my back toward the bed. She pushes me onto the bed.

“Let me thank you.” She says.

She unbuckles my pants, then she gets closer to my lips. We kiss slowly. As I try to grab her, she pushes my body back onto the bed and remove my pants. She kisses my stomach and slowly removes my underclothes.

She teases me, as she kisses my thighs getting me excited. She makes her way between my legs and strokes me. I sit up to look at her and she forces my body back down. I close my eyes tightly.

“Oh shit.” I say deeply as she as she makes my soul leave my body.

“Don’t cum.” She says, as she looks up at me. I tilt my head back and she continues to please me.

Bridget and I wake up from a mid-day nap. I turn over and stare into her eyes, as the view of the ocean behind her magnifies her beauty.

“I love you,” I say to her.

My eyes widen, as she stares at me surprised. What the fuck did I just say. What does this mean...

“I love you too.” She says to me.

We both smile and lean closer to one another for a kiss. She climbs on top of me and we kiss passionately to the sound of the music continuing in the background.

“What do you want to do today?” She asks, as she kisses my neck.

“Another round?” I ask jokingly.

“We finally have a chance to be out.” She says, as I interrupt her.

“There’s a museum not far away we’ll go to.” I say to her. She smiles big and kisses my lips.

“You wanted to go to that museum really bad didn’t you?” She asks, as her nose touches mine.

I kiss her soft lips.

“I did, it’s not the same one, but it’ll be worth it.” I say to her.

Bridget jumps off of me and walks to the bathroom. I watch her naked body walk around the corner and I bite my bottom lip.

“Damn. I’m lucky.” I say, as the shower turns on.

“Are you coming?” She yells.

I jump my naked body out of bed and run into the bathroom to shower with her.
