Unexpected Turn of Events
"Isn't this beautiful?" Dixie admired the view as she the plane she and her boyfriend Chris Jericho were on was coming down. From the view of the airport, Cancun, Mexico was a beautiful place to be during the summer. The weather was hot in the United States, but they were not going to suffer from it since she and Chris had planned to spend most of the time going to the beach, trying all of the Mexican food they can eat, snorkeling by the pier and admiring the ocean in the morning whenever she went on her jogs.
"Yeah, she is." Chris was not admiring Cancun like Dixie was. He was admiring Dixie, who was a beauty in his eyes.
"Me or Cancun?" Dixie raised a brow, knowing that her boyfriend was not focused on the beautiful scenery of Mexico, but the beautiful scenery which was her. To Chris, Dixie was quite short and she once told him she was about 5'3. She had beautiful blonde hair, which had some white undertones to it, but it was brightened up with pink highlights.
"Both," Chris replied sweetly as Dixie continued to have her brow raised and she knew that it was either her or Cancun, "Fine, it was you, but who could help it?" he questioned her as he moved some of her hair away from her eye and placed in the back of her ear. This was when he could see her ear piercings—double lobes, and helix and a double conch piercing, "You're just so beautiful."
"Oh Chris," Dixie blushed as Chris smiled, thinking it was so cute when she began to blush, "You just know all the right things to say to me."
"You deserve to hear all of the great things about you." Chris responded.
After, the plane made for a stop at their destination at Cancun. Chris and Dixie took a taxi all the way to The Ritz-Carlton hotel. Chris opened the door and the moment he opened the door, Dixie left her luggage near the door as she jumped on the bed. The bed had white and clean covers with matching pillows. There was a night stand on each side of the bed, but the outside was the most beautiful as it was near the Museo Maya de Cancun. In the mornings, Dixie could always go for a walk near the water and possibly view the dolphins, splashing around and having a good time.
"Look at that stunning view!" Dixie exclaimed as once again, Chris was not focused on the view, but his girlfriend.
"I know, she's stunning," Chris responded again with a smile as Dixie gave him a playful slap on his bicep as wrapped his muscular arms around her as they admired the view of the beach, "But, it is stunning," he said, finally referring to the ocean, before moving on to a different subject, "Hey, I was thinking that we grab a bite to eat after we check out the beach tonight?"
"That would be great," Dixie agreed to him, "I think, I spotted a good restaurant on the way here."
"Cool," Chris give her a quick kiss on the lips, "I'll go down there to make the reservation. You just check out the hotel." he unwrapped his arounds away from his girlfriend as she looked confused.
"Do you need to know the name of the place?" Dixie asked as Chris turned his back to look at her, not realizing he seemed to be rushing out the door, but there were important matters he needed to take care off and it wasn't getting a reservation for dinner.
"What's the name of it?" Chris asked casually.
"It's called Fantino. It's not too far away. I bet if you were to ask someone where it was, they will point you at the right direction." Dixie explained as Chris nodded.
"Alright, cool," he pulled out his phone as he was texting someone, "Look, I need to make a business call and then, I'll make the reservation." he said after as Dixie waved by and he did the same thing, before dialing a number on the phone when he was out of the hotel room.
"Hey, this is Chris," Chris said over the phone, "I called last night about an engagement ring and it said that it was able to be shipped to The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Cancun and I asked earlier to see if the ring was here, but they said that they hadn't received any packages today, but I paid for the 'Overnight International Shipping' or whatever, but I'm wondering what the status of my ring was?" he asked, trying not to panic, but he was expecting for Dixie's engagement ring to have already been in the lobby by now and the fact that it wasn't was making him worried. He was already planning for tonight to be the night, where he was going to propose to the girl, who he has been dating for a long time and why not propose in one of the same places, where they first met.
The very hotel they were staying at was the one Dixie was working at as a hotel maid when she met Chris at the very hotel ten years ago. It was the morning time and Dixie had found the door to be open and when she opened it, it was a mess, there was professional wrestlers passed out in all parts of the hotel room. When she found Chris, he had a bottle of Jack Daniels in his right hand, his head rested against the couch and drool coming out of his mouth. When Dixie tried to wake him up, so that she was able to vacuum, after she had picked up the trash and when he looked at her, he was smitten—he wanted to know her and it was hard with Dixie, normally the guarded one, but all it took was some time and patients and he was at the point in their relationship, where Chris wanted to put a ring on her finger and call her his fiancée and eventually, he wife.
"What?" Chris questioned, getting a little angry, but trying to keep his anger in check, "Tomorrow? I kind of needed it today," he told the man, who was selling him the engagement ring, "Fine! I'll stall for one day or I'm going to get a refund and use that money to buy a ring pop and call that an engagement ring!" he hung up and was pretty upset about it.
Still, Chris and Dixie went to dinner that night. The waiter escorted them to their seats, which was private from the rest of the restaurant—thanks to Chris giving the waiter an extra fifty dollars in order to give them a secluded area, where he and Dixie can talk alone and enjoy each other's company.
"Oh…" Chris heard Dixie as she took a good look at the menu.
"What's the problem, babe?" Chris said as he took his eyes off the menu and focused them on his girlfriend.
"I didn't know that this restaurant only had seafood." Dixie responded.
"Do you not like seafood?" Chris asked.
"No, it's just I've had the worst bad luck when it's come to seafood. I'm always getting sick in the morning—at least, that's how it was when I was younger." when Dixie was about eight, her bad reaction to seafood began after she had some bad lobster. Her dad had insisted that it was good enough for her to eat, but she ended up having a twenty-four-hour stomach flu because of it. When she was thirteen, she had some bad crab after being told it was good enough to eat and she ended up getting the stomach flu again, but for forty-eight hours and that happened to be the last time she ate seafood.
Until now.
"How about we have shrimp coattail?" Chris asked as Dixie looked at him with a slight hesitation, "I've had it plenty of times when I was in Mexico and nothing happened."
"I don't know, Chris." Dixie asked him as he held her hand in the middle of the dinner table.
"Trust me with this." Chris said in his compassionate voice as Dixie looked at him one last night. Should be trust her boyfriend of about a decade? I mean, he's never caused her some trouble, so what's the worst that can happen? Maybe, she grew out of having a bad reaction to seafood. It's been eleven years since she's tasted seafood, so what was bad to her now, can't be bad to her now.
"Alright, let's order the shrimp coattail." Dixie said with a smile as Chris ordered a waiter to come over their table as Chris ordered, he kept thinking about the proposal, which will go on tomorrow night.
Seems like the proposal will have to wait, but don't think for a second that everything will go smooth sailing with these two...
