Upheld

Chapter 6 The Arrival

They finally arrive in the Bahamas and the lights flash once more. "Please fasten your seatbelts," the stewardess tells the passengers. "The plane will begin its descent shortly."

"Like we can't read the sign," Cienna says sarcastically.

"Some people can't smarty," Lianna replies.

"Oops!" Cienna regretted say that as soon as it came out of her mouth.

"The plane is about to descend make sure you're seatbelts are fastened please." As the plane descends Laura and the girls brace for the landing. Moments later the plane touches down safely and quickly. With everyone breathing a sigh of relief they unfasten their seatbelts and prepare to vacate the plane.

While they wait workers carefully align the steps to the plane in order for the passengers to leave the plane. The girls and the rest of the passengers get a final set of instructions before they finally vacate the plane. All the passengers make sure they have all their belongings before stepping out of the aircraft and begin to head towards the exit. "Finally! I cannot wait to get off this thing," A passenger remarks as they leave the plane.

Outside its warm and sunny the breeze is beautiful and tropical. "Wow the weather is fab-u-lous!" Lianna says.

"I so can't wait to hit the beach!" Cee says in excitement.

"Whoa! Slow down you two, let's go get our luggage and head to the hotel and get situated first. There's plenty of time for fun later," Laura says. The girls groan in disappointment but they agree reluctantly and began the daunting task of heading to where the luggage area is. "This is taking a bit long my goodness," Laura says.

"I know don't remind me," Lianna responds. The luggage finally began to come in, and the frenzy began so to speak. It was crowded and people were doing a little shoving just to get their luggage. When that was over Laura and the twins went to get a rental car so that they can head out to the hotel where they were staying. A tour guide was holding up a sign that red Delektorski.

The girls looked at their mother with curiosity. "Ok girls let's go find out what this is about," Laura tells the twins sensing their apprehension.

"Hello there, are you the Delektorski family?"asked the tour guide with an accent.

"Why yes we are, and do what does this pertain too?" Laura asks.

"Ah yes I am you tour guide Haiku and I am here to escort you to your destination," He tells Laura and the twins. They look at each other with uncertainty not knowing what his intentions where.

"I...I don't understand we're supposed to be getting a rental that I reserved myself. I did not request this," Laura says with concern.

"You we're given a tour guide, and I will be you escort as well as an upgrade due to an error at no extra charge. You can go to the car rental area and verify it if you wish." Haiku stated. Laura did just that and as Haiku said it was an upgrade because they had made an error their part for the cars she was to drive was no longer available and she was not notified.

"Well I guess we're off then," Laura says with anticipation.

"Finally!" Cee says as Li sighs with relief.

A little while later, they arrive at the hotel, but Haiku continued to drive farther down passing the hotel. "Why are we not stopping at the hotel mom?" Lianna said with worry.

"Haiku is it," Laura says as he nods. "Where are you taking us?"

"Ah yes forgive me lovely ladies I forgot to tell you that I am taking you to your Villa," he said. "We're staying in a villa?" Lianna says.

"What's a villa? Cee asks.

"Just wait and see ladies you will enjoy it. Courtesy of The Hotel Sunrise as part of your upgrade it's a fantastic package," Haiku tells them enthusiastically.

"Oh good I love the Villas they are lovely and the view is absolutely beautiful. I stood in one with your dad on our honeymoon," Laura said misty eyed. The girls looked at each other and didn't say a word.

Moments later they finally arrived at the Villa where they were going to stay. They were surprised to see a few familiar faces already unloading their luggage. It was Lauren Speedle, Tim's wife, and their kids Tyler who is 8 and Ashlee who is 5 years of age. "Well things are definitely looking up girls," Laura says.

"Hey mom it's Lauren," Lianna says when she looks in the same direction as her mom.

"I know isn't that great. Now it will be twice the fun," Laura said with a smile on her face.

"And she's got the kids I want to see them can I mom?" Cienna asks.

"Ok a quick hello and off into our villa. We need to unpack." Laura said as the girls went over to where Lauren was getting the last of her luggage out of the car.
