Edward's Point of View

Thankfully the journey was short and relatively pain free thanks to the top shelf whiskey we had consumed over the past couple of hours.

Feeling pleasantly buzzed we disembarked and made our way out of the terminal to hail a cab to deliver us to our hotel.

Demetri made quick work of finding us a ride and before long we were checking in and making our way up to our five bedroomed suite.

"This is awesome!" Jasper strolled straight over to the floor to ceiling windows giving us an amazing view of the city and Las Vegas Strip.

"Glad you like it bro" Emmett clapped him on the shoulder before strolling over to the bar area to pour himself a drink.

Sighing Jasper pulled out his phone to no doubt call Maria for the checking in call he'd promised.

"Hi M…. Yeah just checked in… Plans for tonight, uh dinner and a quiet night I think" he was placating her, obviously.

Emmett was not pleased. "Quiet night" he snorted, "Like hell."

Once again she began screeching at him down the phone, an indication she'd heard Emmett's comment.

Quickly downing the drink Emmett had just handed me I decided to save Jasper from another lecture. I strolled across the room and snatched Jasper's phone out of his hand snapping it shut.

"New rule for the weekend Jasper" I pocketed his phone, "No more calling or answering calls from Maria, you can text her if you have to and I'm confiscating your phone for tonight."

Emmett and the guys whooped loudly, while I poured Jasper a drink.

"Now down this so we can get our shit sorted and we'll head out" I placed a glass of straight whiskey in his hands before heading for the shower.
