The next day was a weekend, and as planned the girls were off to Kashmere to relax while Katerina met with a client. 

Cedric walked into their room to find Adrianna packing her things to go on the trip. He hugged her from behind and kissed her on the lips.

​​

"Cedric, stop it, I won't be able to pack everything if you keep doing that." Adrianna scolded. It was the third time that night that Cedric had done something like that.

"Just ask a maid to do it. You don't need to do it yourself." Cedric said as he pulled his wife onto the couch and kissed her passionately.

"Cedric!" Adrianna scolded again when their lips finally parted.

"But Adri, I won't see you for two days, I'll miss you too much." Cedric complained as he kissed her again. "I'll miss you and our little bun." As Cedric said this he gently caressed Adrianna's baby bump.

"Cedric, go down and hang out with Miguel and Ray first." Adrianna said as she pushed her husband off her.

"But I miss you." Cedric complained.

"Leave." Adrianna sent him out as she laughed at how childish he looked.

When Cedric got down Miguel and Ray were already raiding his bar. It seemed that they too had been chased out.

"Packing?" Cedric asked.

"Yeah. Ayanna's up there dictating to a maid which clothes she wants to bring." Ray complained. "I mean how much clothes do you need on an overnight trip?" 

"With women, if they could bring their whole closet they would." Miguel said with a laugh.

"It's my island anyway, why are we getting chased out of this trip?" Ray continued to whine as Miguel found the drink they wanted.

"You're right, it's your island." Cedric said, as he got an idea. He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.

The next day, Cedric woke up before Adrianna. He held her in his arms and kissed her.

"Adri, I need to go to the office early while you're away. Don't forget to update me. Tell me when you're leaving the house, when you're in the airport, and right before the plane takes off." Cedric whispered to his wife who was still half asleep.

Adrianna was fully awake an hour later, when she got down she was fully dressed and a maid carried her bags down.

"Why does it look like you've packed for a week?" Her father, Charles Hernandez teased.

"You should see Ayanna's." Priscilla Reyes said, she had seen the maids bring down everything Ayanna had packed, it seemed like she would be staying in Kashmere for a month.

"Mom, you know that we sometimes extend our stay." Ayanna reminded her mom. "I don't have to physically be in the office to do my job. You're so old fashioned that way." 

"It's just nice for the employees to see us working dear." Emilio Reyes told his daughter. "But, technically your mom works away from her office." Emilio said with a laugh has he managed to side with both mother and daughter.

"We'll that's quite hard to do with my job. Without going to school." Charles said as he got up and picked up his briefcase.

"You should really let the maids do that for you Charles, that thing seems like they have bricks in them." Emilio told Charles Hernandez.

"I can still manage." Charles said with a laugh. "I really hate Saturday classes. Anyway, Adri, I guess I'll see you when you get back. I'm off to the university." Charles said, kissing his daughter on the side of her head before leaving.

"What time will you go to Kashmere?" Emilio Reyes asked.

"We leave right after breakfast." Ayanna told her father. "We're taking Ray's plane."

"Okay, take care." Emilio said with a nod.

As soon as Ayanna and Adrianna finished their breakfast they left for the airport. They entered through the special VIP entrance to avoid all the people as well as being seen.

When they arrived at the departure area Ayanna helped her sister-in-law out of the car as several bodyguards carried their bags to the plane. 

"If we weren't flying to Kashmere my brother would have told us to take a commercial flight." Ayanna said with a laugh as they walked to the waiting lounge. "We need to wait for a bit. I'm pretty sure Katerina and Natalia are running late." 

Inside the posh lounge Adrianna found Veronica and Nicole seated comfortably. 

"Why didn't you just ride with us Veronica?" Adrianna asked. 

"I had to pick Nicole up. None of her brothers or Ian was free to bring her." Veronica said with a shrug. Nicole, expecting at least one of the boys to be willing to take her to the airport, decided to let her driver take the day off. Unfortunately everyone else was busy, so she asked Veronica if her driver could take her to the airport, that's when Veronica decided to pick her sister-in-law up.

Adrianna made herself comfortable on the couch as well. A waitress arrived with a glass of milk for her and some snacks as she messaged Cedric that she was already at the airport with Ayanna and the others.

"Wow this place is amazing!" Adrianna heard Margaret say with delight as she entered the lounge.

"Cousin!" Adrianna greeted with a wave calling Margaret over. "You haven't met them yet, but these are I guess you could say Cedric's younger sisters, Ayanna Reyes, his biological sister. Veronica Abad - Chan and Nicole Chan are practically family to him since their elder brothers are his good friends." Adrianna explained. 

"I hope none of you are in love with Cedric, like in the dramas." Margaret said with a laugh. "Cause if you dare try to make my cousin sad you'll have to go through me." Margaret threatened jokingly.

"Cedric? No thanks!" Katerina said from the doorway as a waitress handed her a drink. Natalia was meekly following her older sister as they arrived.

"Hey, don't say that. You might drive my sister-in-law away!" Ayanna complained as she pretended to cover Adrianna's ears.

"It's too late Ayanna, she's already pregnant." Nicole said with a laugh. 

"Are you drinking again?" Veronica asked Katerina as she looked at the drink Katerina was sipping.

"Stress, and other stuff." Katerina said with a shrug as she emptied out the glass.

"Other stuff, meaning my older brother?" Nicole said with a giggle.

"Isn't your older brother married to her?" A confused Margaret asked as she pointed at Veronica.

"I have another brother. A more annoying one." Nicole said, rolling her eyes.

"Aren't we leaving yet?" Natalia asked her friends.

"Of course, of course." Nicole said as she quickly checked her phone.

"Ohhh, how cute it is to be in love. Ian not replying?" Katerina teased.

"My older brother is probably making him work." Ayanna said as she rolled her eyes. "I swear both Cedric and Adrianna are work-a-holics." 

"Look in a mirror girl!" Natalia teased.

"Enough. Let's go." Nicole said as she was getting tired of their jokes.
