"Alex hurry up!" Melinda yelled at Alex who was now straightening her hair," WE have ten minutes let's go!"
Alex whipped open the door." Okay it take time to straighten curly hair."
"We are in a foreign place going shopping on vacation. How pretty do you have to it back in a pony tail like I did. My hair is curly." Olivia joined in.
"Easy for you to say! You are like freaking beautiful all the time!" Alex wined.
"Yes she is! Do you want water or juice?" Elliot asked packing up the bag.
"How about a beer!" Alex yelled from the bathroom mirror.
"I meant Olivia ,lex. And yes I threw a couple beer in there and a couple coolers. Okay now Olivia what u want?"
"I'll take those V-8 and some water. And Lex you look beautiful at all times! Now lets go!" Olivia walked into the bathroom." Oh My god. Put that liner away. Okay now put on some mascara... Beautiful now let's go we have five minutes till we're gone!"
They all hurried out of the room with their bags and raced down to their villa mainhouse. The Van arrived and they all filed in. The ride was about half an hour long in a cramped and hot. They arrived in Playa and split off into groups. Cragen, fin, and munch went their way and the rest went theirs. The first shop they hit was a jewlery shop.
"Oh my god, Liv! Look at this!" Alex pointed at a silver neckalace that she had seen in New York and loved.
"Woah Lex it's only $75 American dollars! It's 2300 back home!" Olivia said surprised.
"Oh My God I love it here!" Alex exclaimed.
Everyone laughed at her.
"Oh My God Liv look at this!" Melinda screeched.
It was a simple silver band with a silver outlined letter which was filled in with white and colored chunks of jems.
Olivia Looked around at the ones beside it. Her breath hitched as she saw the most beautiful ring ever.
"You guys!"
Everyone looked at the one she pointing at.
"Oh wow liv! That's beautiful!" Alex smiled," Try it on!"
Olivia took the ring and put it on. It fit perfectly.
"Liv, get that one. It's expensive but you love it!" Melinda told her.
"I know, Idk Maybe I'll come back before we go." Olivia smiled.
"Okay well I'm going to go pay for this. I'll be right back." Alex said taking off towards the checkout counter.
They went next door to a shop that was kinda like sports check but with nicer clothes.
"Alex That is gorgeous!" Olivia exclaimed.
Alex was trying on a white 'chicago' Dress That was stunning on her.
"Liv I wish you'd try that one!" Alex pointed to a dress hanging on a mannequin. The top of it had two thin straps and it was held like a strapless with the curved top. The straps and top part of the dress were black. The bottom was a golden yellow with a white and black hawiian flower design starting at the bottom and crawling up the right. The dress material was the same material the workout clothes and bathing suits.
"Fine!" Olivia grabbed her size and put it on. She was relieve when the flowy material was actually loose on her belly. She took the dress of, put her kahki shorts and tank top on.
"Liv? WE wanted to see it!" Alex whined.
"you'll just have to wait!"
"So you're getting it?"Melinda asked.
"Yea, I'll wear it tonight." She smiled up at Elliot. She grabbed his hand. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed.
"Awe! I want someone to love me!" Alex sniffled.
"Awe Babe! I love you!" Melinda said stroking Alex's cheek.
They all laughed.
By the time they had finished most of the designer shops, It was mid noon. The all opted to go for a snack before finishing the rest of the shops then catching their van back to their resort. They went to a little hut looking resteraunte on the beach. They got a table close to the beach. Their waitress was a beautiful young girl no older than 14. She was also pregnant. Before they left for this trip Olivia had been talking to a friend whom said that many of the young girls were single mothers or going to be single mothers who barely got paid for their work.
They got an order of bare nachos and ordered some drinks. They were packing up to go when Elliot saw Olivia scooch back to the table. He watched as she took a 10 dollar bill out of her pocket and give it to their waitress whom was now cleaning their table.
"Here, umm This is for you!" Olivia spoke slowly. When the girl didn't understand Olivia said it in Spanish. The young girl nodded her head and thanked her. Olivia gave her a smile then rejoin Elliot and the rest of them.
Elliot was enjoying walking along occasionly stopping at a little shop or table. Olivia was walking beside him and he felt like he was a teenager again with his hand in her back pocket and hers in his. It was still blazing hot and he still had to wipe the sweat of his brow. Their water supply had rapidly decreased and the beer was almost gone. Elliot was such a protector every five seconds he would ask to see if Olivia was okay, if she need something to drink, if she felt faint. And finally after an hour of coaxing she agreed to put a hat and sunglasses on.
"Oh let's get our pictures taken with the little monkeys." Alex pulled Olivia and Melinda towards the Monkeys.
Elliot watched them in awe of the little monkeys. They laughed as one of them played with its reflection in Olivia's sunglasses. Elliot couldn't believe he was with her. The love of his life. He quickly go tout his phone and texted fin.
