Disclaimer: Same as last chapter. I don't own the characters…yada yada yada.


Steph's POV

He wanted me to fly to Miami with him. In his private plane. It would save money. And he did ask.

"Are you sure? I can just buy a plane ticket," I said. He looked at me and kissed me.

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want you to come," he told me. I nodded.

"Well I want to leave as early as possible because I want to be able to work tonight. I need to pack and then I need to go tell Connie and my parents," I commented.

"When ever you're ready," he said giving me another kiss, "want to get cleaned up before we get ready?"

"Wouldn't want to be dirty on the plane," I told him with a wicked grin.

After we got out of the shower I started packing. Ranger went back to Haywood. I drove big blue to the bonds office to tell Connie.

"You're riding with Batman? On his own private plane?" Lula asked sitting on the couch. I grinned.

"Yeah!" I exclaimed. Connie was smiling.

"Girl yo so gonna get some in Miami. Although I'm pretty sure yo already getting some," Lula said. I blushed.

"Maybe. I just wanted to tell you guys. Now I am going to tell my mom and dad," I told my friends. I walked out the door and drove to my parents house.

"You're going back to Miami?" my mother asked looking like I was crazy. I didn't mention I was taking a private plane.

"Just for a couple of days. I'm going to help a friend," I explained.

"Fine. But I was going to invite Joseph Morelli for dinner so you could apologize for stunning him in public. I guess I'll have to postpone," she told me.

"I'll see you guys in a couple days. Love you bye," I said walking out the door. I got in big blue and pulled out my cell phone.

"Yo," Ranger said into his phone.

"Yo yourself. I'm ready to go when you are," I told him.

"Drive to Haywood and we can leave from there," he said.

"I'm on my way. Bye," I said and then I clicked the end button.


Lester's POV

Ranger had come back in the morning and he smelled like strawberries. Not his usual manly smell. I had a feeling he had been with Steph all night. He was smiling unlike his usual blank face. I was actually surprised he wasn't singing or humming. He seemed like he was in the mood to. Not that he usually does it's just he was in such a good mood I thought he was going to burst into a song.

"So bossman what's with the mood?" I asked with a grin.

"I'm leaving soon and we're taking the private plane to Miami," he said. Did he just say we?

"We? Who's we boss?" I asked. I saw him smile a little more before his blank face was firmly in place.

"Need to know only Santos and you don't need to know," he growled. I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face.

"Does this have something to do with the strawberry smell and the coming home in the morning?" I asked him.

"Santos," he warned.


Ranger's POV

Santos knew something was up. I knew the guys would notice. He skipped away saying, "Ranger's got a girlfriend! Ranger's got a girlfriend!" It was hard to stay mad when I knew I would be with Steph in a few minutes. I saw on the camera's that Steph was at the gate. I buzzed her in and grabbed my bag.

"Tank you're in charge while I'm gone. I'll be in Miami and you can reach me on my cell," I informed him before getting into the elevator and going down to meet Steph. She greeted me when I got off the elevator. She was smiling her heart melting smile. I couldn't help but to smile back.

"Babe," I said before stepping forward and giving her a kiss.


Tank's POV

Ranger just suddenly told us that he was going to Miami. I was in charge. I was watching when Steph came in. Ranger went down to meet her. She was smiling when she saw him. I saw him smile back, which is an unusual thing to see Ranger do. Then what shocked me most was when he kissed her. He didn't even bother scrambling the cameras or getting out of sight. I froze the screen and called all the guys into the room.

"Oh, Ranger's getting some!" Lester yelled. I heard a slap and an ow.

"You deserved it," Bobby said.

"Did not!"

"Did too!" They sounded like a couple of kids. I unfroze the screen and saw Ranger take Steph's hand and they walked to one of his cars.


Ranger's POV

I knew the guys are watching from the camera's but I didn't care. I liked Stephanie a lot and I was willing to admit it. We got in the car and drove to air field where my private plane was. We got on and Steph was looking around with her mouth open.

"See something you like Babe?" I asked. She grinned.

"I've never been on a private plane before," she told me coming closer, "and yes I see something I like." She then closed the space between us and gave me a kiss. We landed in Miami a few hours later.

"Lil offered me a place to stay," she told me as we were driving towards the bar.

"You know, you can always stay with me," I told her with a grin.


Steph's POV

We were in Miami and he offered me a place to stay. I was hoping he would.

"I can? Are you sure? I wouldn't be intruding would I?" I asked trying to make sure he was okay with it. He grabbed my hand.

"I'm sure Babe. I wouldn't want it any other way," he told me. I smiled.

"Okay then. I guess I'll stay with you. Could you drop me off at the bar and then you can pick me up later. I'll get off late so I can have Lil drop me off. I'll just need the address," I told him.

"I'll come pick you up. Just tell me when you get off," Ranger told me as we pulled into the bar parking lot.

"Okay. I'll see you later then," I said giving him a kiss. I started to open the door.

"Okay. I may come in the club later just to hang out and stay till closing time," he said.

"Alrighty. Bye." I gave him another kiss and walked into the bar. I went inside and saw Lil behind the bar. She smiled when she saw me. I went around to behind the bar.

"Nice to see you again Steph," she said giving me a hug.

"Yeah. Sorry I took all your bartenders back to Trenton with me," I told her.

"At least you guys weren't the only ones I had. Thanks for coming out on such short notice," Lil said, "are you going to change before the real crowd comes in?" I nodded. I went in the bathroom and changed into some short shorts and a tank top that fell right above my belly button. I walked back out and started serving drinks to the few customers that were in here. Around six the crowd started rolling in as well as the other bartenders.

"Steph this is Ashley and Nikki, they are the other girls that you can work with while you're here," Lil said introducing me. We shook hands and then we got down to business. We served drinks for a little while and then we got up and danced.
