Kate
I can't believe how excited Elliot has been about this whole pathetic weekend. Who the hell passes up Vegas to go to the bush? I don't know what the hell Ana was thinking but I sure as hell am going to make the best of this situation. I have a little surprise up my sleeve for everyone and its going to be memorable. We arrive at the airport and I am impressed with the jet waiting for us. Maybe it's not all going to be bad.
"Ready baby?" Eliot asks me and I give him my biggest smile.
"Lets do this." Is all I can say. After this weekend I have decided to be honest with Elliot and till him our relationship is over. I have found myself a lovely man who I am going to be living with in New York and I wont need to compete with the perfect Ms. Steele anymore. So this is my final weekend with them. We enter the plane and its so full already. Then controlling freak Christian lets us know we are the last to arrive and am holding them up. I count to 10 to calm myself down and find an empty seat and buckle myself in. Only 2 days I keep telling myself.
Ana
I am excited we are finally in the air and everyone is having a good time. At least almost everyone. Kate is as miserable as I've ever seen her. I actually wish she would have stayed at home. I see her get up and come over to were Christian, Elliot and I are seated.
"Ana what the hell possessed you to not just go with Elliot's plan for Vegas? It would have been 100 times better than what you have planned." This makes me angry and hurt but I don't let is show.
"Kate you haven't even tried anything we have planned. Don't judge it before you try. The other thing was once Elliot heard what Luke and I planned there was no way he was sticking to Vegas."
"Ana who the hell wants to be stuck on an adventure ranch getting all tired and dirty instead of at a spar in Vegas?"
"I do babes." Elliot says and gets a dirty look from Kate.
"Yes Elliot you would. I over heard Christian telling Ana she is to stay buy his side the entire trip for safety reasons."
"Yes he did. So what?"
"I do hope you treat me the same and not run off without me at every turn."
"Baby you can stay by my side any day."
"Great to hear that. So you will be with us in the more sophisticated crew with Mia and the others?" This makes Christian, Taylor and Luke all laugh. The look on Elliot's face is pure shock and he puts on his hell fucking no look and I cant help but laugh to. He looks so adorable.
"Oh no baby you have it all wrong. Ana is going everywhere Christian is going and so will you if you want to be with me. Hell fucking no am I going in the prissy crew with women who will be worrying about breaking a nail. We will be going in the advanced crew. You are more than welcome to come with me baby."
"Elliot what the hell? This is so not right. You are willing to ditch me to be in Ana's crew?"
"Not at all. This is my baby brothers bachelor party and I intend to spend as much time with him as possible wether Ana is there or not. I did say you can be with me."
"Bullshit, this was all Ana's doing. She knew all along this shit will happen. I will not stand and be treated like a left over anymore." And she storms off. What the hell was that? I can see Christian was ready to throw her of this plane mid air and it made me giggle.
"Something amusing you Ms. Steele?" Why the hell does he make everything sound so sexy?
"Christian you face said it all. I thought you were ready to open the hatch and throw her out without a parachute."
"Actually yes I was. I am seriously considering asking her to stay on board when we land so she can go back home with the plane."
"No baby you cant do that. We will just take it one hour at a time and remember this is for us so screw the rest."
"No baby I only want to screw you." This makes me blush to my roots and they all laugh at me. I decide to make an exit and go sit with my other guests. Everyone seems so excited to be here except Kate and 3 of her friends that I don't even really know. I cant figure out how come they are here when they don't even know me. Anyway I will keep quit to keep the piece. Everything is finally falling into place. My dress is bought and hanging in Kate's closest at her home. Gail was given a key by Elliot so she can pick it up for me and take it to Escala and hid it away from Christian. I am so excited everything is finally falling into place.
Christian
We arrived at the venue and everything is even better than I expected. Its late afternoon now and our security are all in place and I am now alone with my baby in our cabin at last.
"Come here Ana." I give her my sexiest growl and I know she is affected by it.
"Christian don't do dare distract me."
"Why not baby?"
"Because we have to meet up with everyone in an hours time."
"That gives me plenty of time to get my fill of you and some time to change baby." She is now giggling and its such a lovely sound. We are now laying together both satisfied when there is a knock on the door. Then we here Elliot shout.
"Hey cut it out you two we have a schedule to keep. If you are not out in 10 minutes I will be coming in there." I here Ana gasp and shoot out of bed making me laugh. She is so cute when she is embarrassed.
"Christian its not funny now get your sexy butt out of bed and get changed."
"Sexy butt hey?"
"Yes and you know it now get up please."
"Ok baby only because you asked so nicely." I see her smile and shake her head. We get dressed and are out in five. We go to the main gathering point to get our schedules and briefing when I notice Kate is having a very animated conversation on her phone and Elliot looks pissed.
"Christian is everything ok with them." I guess Ana has noticed it to.
"Not sure baby but I have a plan. I will be back I just need to chat with security."
"Ok baby I will go to Elliot." I give her a kiss and head off to Taylor and Luke.
"Sir everything is in place for us."
"Taylor tell me how are we going to be communicating this weekend?"
"With these sir." He opens a backpack that is full of two-way radios and now I know my plan is perfect.
"Sir I decided on this when Luke informed me that most of this area has no cell reception. I am actually shocked to see Kate has picked up some signal because our cells have had no network the entire morning. I did however set up a pair of satellite phones for each group for any emergencies that may happen."
"Perfect Taylor. Ok hand them out to the guests and explain to them why and how they work."
"Yes sir."
"Luke can I have a private word with you?"
"Yes sir."
"Listen I know you are in Ana and my group but I want you to still keep an eye on Kate. I don't know why but I have a funny feeling she is up to something and I cant seem to put a finger on what it is."
"Sir I have been feeling the same way that is why I have brought in Wesley as an undercover security for the slower group. I have explained everything to him and he is going to be keeping a close eye and ear on things."
"Who the hell is Wesley and why have I not met him yet?" I scan the group and am not sure who he is referring to but I do notice Ana is no longer with Elliot but is actually standing next to a man I don't know and instantly don't like. What the fuck does he want with my Ana.
"Sir calm down. I can tell you Wesley is no way interested in Ana. I asked him to approach her like that so it's not suspicious. He is in fact my baby brother sir and I trust him with my life sir." I am shocked at this. Here I was ready to charge in there and beat him up and in actual fact he is only doing his job.
"Ok Luke I trust your judgment and I know Taylor would have done all the necessary check on him. Lets go and hear what our schedule for the weekend is like."
"Yes sir." I walk off towards Ana and the closer I get the more I realize this guy looks so much like Luke.
Ana
I saw the look on Christians face and I instantly thought he was on the war path because of Wesley being by my side. He surprised me when he came and shook the guys hand then excused us.
"Christian are you ok baby?"
"Yes I am fine. I see you have met the newest member of our team?"
"Sure did. I didn't know Luke had a brother?"
"I didn't either but Taylor mentioned he just out of the Navy and is a good and loyal guy." Ok that explains the huge muscles and the tats. I am happy that he is going to be with Kate and Mia. They may need the extra help.
We listen to the manager go through the plans and I realize a few things have changed a bit. The river rafting has being cancelled due to the waters being to rough at the moment so they have put in a team building exercise in its place which I am happy. He explained we are going to be paired off and put through a series of obstacle courses and we have to work as a team to get through it. I am trilled and know this is exactly the thing Christian and I need. It will make us stronger as an couple to get through this together. So we all agreed to go on the hike in the morning and do the mountain climbing, then the obstacle courses in the afternoon followed by our romantic dinner while the rest of the party will have a bonfire here at camp. On our final day we will go for a morning sky diving class then its home for us. This evening we are going to just chill together and have a good time around the BBQ.
