Chapter 36
Julia
"Where are we going?" Mikey and Kai just smile at me, like they have something up their sleeves.
They are sitting across from me on this private jet.
I turn and look at Mel sitting next to me, and she won't even make eye contact with me.
I look over to Luca, who is ignoring us, swirling his whiskey.
“I’m just saying. All of you guys are now on my list!” I say, pointing to each one of them.
“Long as I am at the top.” Kai winks at me, and Mel glares at him.
“If anyone is at the top, it’s me!” She snaps, and I bust up laughing.
"What the fuck did I do to deserve to be on the list?" Luca finally looks up.
"Because none of you will tell me what's going on, and you." I point to Mel, "First hand, knowing I fucking hate surprises."
She smiles at me and shrugs. "Well, you kept the pregnancy from me, so call this Karma." I roll my eyes, pull out my Kindle, and start reading.
"Ohhh, what literature do we have this time?" Mel leans over and looks at my Kindle.
"Go fuck yourself." I snap and pull my Kindle away from her eyeview. She reaches out to grab it from me, and we start wrestling on a plane, laughing so hard that my stomach cramps.
"Hey, don't squish our baby." I hear Mikey yell, but Mel and I continue to wrestle around.
"Ohhhh, hockey smut. I dig it." She grins at me, and I roll my eyes and continue to read.
"Why do you need to read hockey smut when you are living it in real life?" Kai wags his eyebrow.
"Because sometimes I like to live through someone else's reality instead of my own." I flip the page and continue reading.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve reached our destination. We will begin our descent and be on the ground in approximately fifteen minutes. Please ensure your seatbelts are fastened." The pilot says, and I try to look out the window over Mel's head, but she is purposely blocking me.
Kai leans forward and grabs my hand. "I promise, baby, you will know soon what's going on, but this surprise is important to Mikey and me, so please just be patient with us." I lean in and give him my best smile.
"I am not a patient person."
"Oh, trust me, we can tell." I scrunch my eyebrows at him and glare.
"But you will be patient whether you like it or not." Kai then smiles.
"I don't like you two teaming up against me. This is fucking bullshit." I huff.
"Okay, sassy pants. We are here, so surprise is over." Mikey says as soon as we feel the wheels touch the ground.
We exit the plane, and an SUV is waiting for us. Two men in suits are loading up our luggage.
When I turn around, Mikey, Kai, and Mel are staring at me, like I am supposed to be caught on by now.
"I am too tired to deal with your bullshit," I grumble, and get into the SUV.
"You know, usually people would ask where we are at," Mel says as she scootches in next to me, followed by Kai. Mikey gets in the passenger seat, and Luca starts up the SUV.
"Well, I know you ass-holes won't tell me, so why bother?" I lay my head on the window, and the airport starts to disappear, and the Vegas strip starts to light up.
"Why are we in Vegas?" I ask. Kai and Mikey smile at me, again hiding something from me.
"We have something to show you," Mikey says. I raise a brow, not buying what he is saying.
We keep driving, and I subconsciously start rubbing my stomach. I can see a little bump now, but it looks like I have just eaten one too many tacos.
I have never been to Vegas, so I have no clue which hotel we are pulling up to. I just know it's fucking huge. Mikey gets out of the car and opens my door for me, as everyone else follows us. Luca tosses the keys to the valet.
Kai walks up to the front desk and talks with a beautiful blonde lady, who is obviously flirting with him.
I feel the jealousy show its face. Then Kai says something, and she turns to look at me, her face dropping.
I give a little wave to piss her off more and grab onto Mikey, making my claim known.
When Kai gets a couple of key cards, he walks back to us, cheesing hard at me. "That was fun."
"What was?" I scowl.
"Turning down a woman because I am no longer single." I blink at him, confused.
"What do you mean?" I say.
"Well, knowing that you are ours, you are carrying our child, I would say that I am off the market, wouldn't you?" He questions me. I smile at him and reach up to grab his cheek and kiss him hard on the lips.
"I love you." The words slip out before I can stop them.
"I love you too." Kai bends down and kisses me again.
I then turn to Mikey, who looks like he just won the lottery. "I love you, Mikey."
He picks me up and spins me around. "I love you too, princess.” When he sets me down, he grabs my face and kisses me.
"Okay, love birds, give me my key. I'll meet you in an hour." Luca goes to grab the key, and Kai pulls it back...
"Soooo there was a problem." He gives a sheepish smile to Luca.
"What kind of problem?" Luca's voice drops to a dangerous tone.
"They double-booked your room, sooooo surprise you will be sharing one with Mel."
"What!" Mel and Luca scream at the same time.
"Yeah. So here are your keys.... Have fun." Kai turns and grabs my hand and damn near drags me down the hall away from Luca and Mel.
"What did you do, Kai?" I look at him, trying to catch my breath, when we stop running.
"I was tired of the tension between the two, so I got them to share a room. Just call me matchmaker Kai."
"Dude, are you sure this won't be a double homicide?" Mikey butts in.
"Nah, they will be okay. Let's go to our room and freshen up." I grab both of their hands, and they walk me to the elevator at the end of the hall, and Kai scans the key card, taking us up to the top floor.
When the car dings, the elevator opens directly into a huge living room.
"You know, I never understood why you needed a living room in a hotel." I laugh. My dad used to always get these suites, and he would tell me it was so he could watch TV.
"Well, in this instance, we have more rooms to play in." Kai winks at me. I walk to the bedroom, see the suitcase Mel packed for me, and open it.
This damn thing is full of different lingerie outfits and toys... I roll my eyes, because of course, she would pack toys... like I don't have two men to keep me plenty busy.
Something blue catches my eye. I move the lingerie out of the way and pull out a beautiful sapphire blue strapless dress, with a deep cut in the front to show off my cleavage. It is fitted at the top and then flares out at the bottom, with a cut up the leg. It is stunning.
I hang up the dress in the closet and dig through to find some beautiful silver heels. As much as my best friend drives me nuts, she knows how to dress a girl.
I walk back into the living room, and both of the guys are sitting on the couch watching the hockey game. They are on a bye week, thank god. They haven't missed any practices or games during the time my dad decided to stir up bullshit.
"How do I need to dress?" I ask, and both of their heads snap to me.
"If I have it my way, I would say in your birthday suit. But I don't think Luca and Mel want to see us fuck the shit out of you." I roll my eyes at Kai and turn to Mikey.
"Whatever you want to wear." I look at both of them, dressed in suits, but neither has a tie; the top buttons are undone, and they look sexy as sin.
I turn around and walk back into the bedroom, pulling the blue dress from the hanger and laying it on the bed. If they are going to dress up, so am I. I dig around through the suitcase and find a curling iron and makeup. Perfect.
I go to the bathroom, apply my makeup, and tame my curls with the curling iron. When I look up at the mirror, I finally feel human again. I walk back into the room and pull on the dress and heels, then check myself in the mirror one last time.
As soon as I walk into the living room, Kai's mouth drops wide open, his blonde hair falling in his face, and Mikey instantly stands up.
He starts to walk towards me, and I finally get to admire his whole look.
His blonde hair is pulled back into a neat bun; he is wearing a navy blue suit, a white button-up shirt, and dress shoes.
Kai stands up next, his hair is down, hanging around his face, and he is wearing a black suit, a black button-up shirt, and dress shoes. I smile at them and do a spin to show off the dress.
"How do I look?" Both men are damn near drooling, and I laugh, physically pushing up their jaws and laughing.
"Come on, Luca and Mel will be waiting for us, if they didn't kill each other first,” I say, then walk out of the hotel room.
