Chapter22 I Want This Forever

"Hey guys speed it up back there baggage claim is going to be hell." Marina said as made her way off the plane Marina Nicky Raquel Ashley Eddie and Jamie had taken a late flight from New York to Puerto Rico and were slightly exhausted even though the flight was a little over three and half hours Marina had their schedule but never told Eddie and Jamie where they would be staying.

The group finally caught up with Marina at the baggage carousel just as it started up.

"Hey Rina babe I know the four of us are staying in at your place but where are my uncle and Eddie going to stay?"

"Don't worry mi reina I took care of that." Marina said sweetly referring to Nicky by one of her pet names which was queen in Spanish.

It took about forty minutes but the group had made it out of the airport in one piece.

"Hey Marina where to next Eddie and I don't have a hotel booked."

"No worries Jamie I covered it our rides should be here in seconds."

Just like clockwork two limos pulled up to the airport.

"Jamie put your stuff in the rear limo driver already has the directions you'll be taken care of."

Jamie and Eddie loaded up the limo and got in surprised by the chilling champagne waiting for them inside.

"Jamie this feels a bit over the top even for me a limo and champagne not to mention we still don't have a place to stay."

"I know Eddie but hopefully Marina actually came through with her arrangement."

Jamie and Eddie drove through the streets of San Juan admiring the scenery of the beautiful island taken by the beauty of it all.

Two hours later Jamie and Eddie pulled up to a gated home overlooking Luquillo beach.

"Jamie this place looks huge could this be where Marina planned for us to stay?"

"I guess so Eddie let's get out and see."

Jamie and Eddie pulled their bags out of the limo as Nicky and her crew unpacked the limo on their end.

"Jamie and Eddie welcome to your home away from home while on this beautiful island."

"Marina do you mean to tell me Eddie and I can stay here?"

"Of course Jamie this place is big enough to fit the six of us."

"Marina this place is huge."

"It's really not Jamie."

"Marina we're a stones' throw from the beach and this place looks like it could take up a city block."

"Fine Jamie we'll agree to disagree come on up we can grab a quick bite before heading to the beach for the shoot."

Jamie followed Marina inside and as Marina opened the door Jamie and Nicky marveled at the white tiled floor as well as the art on the lite blue walls.

The group made their way into the living-room which held black leather couches and a custom snake skin recliner.

"Guys leave your bags by the door I'll have the house set up by the time we get back from the shoot."

"Babe so what are we doing before the shoot?"

"We can do a few things but I recommend massages these shoots are hell on the body we'll do the hot tub after the shoot."

"You mean we can just get massages at the drop of a dime?"

"Yes Nicky we can and by the way you slept on the plane you could use a massage."

"Fine make your call."

An hour later the group was done with their massages and ready to hit the beach.

"Alright guys the limos are here ready to take us to the beach let's roll."

Once they were on the beach the group sans Marina who was already talking to the photographer admired the sand and blue water.

"Eddie this place does really scream paradise." Jamie remarked.

"It does Jamie and don't worry if this shoot goes the way Marina told me it would we'll be making a few trips here in the future."

"Hope you're right Eddie."

Once Marina got everything squared away she gathered up her group.

"Alright guys all the details have been taken care of all we need to change in the closed off room they setup just off the beach take the pics I'll do a quick interview and we get out of here in a few hours."

"Well Rina let's do this."

Nicky Marina Ashley Rocky and Eddie changed into swimsuits and made their way to the water where the shoot was taking place.

"Alright girls I'm Dean Andrews I'll be handling the shoot for you ladies we're on a tight schedule so just to let you know we're going to do a few water action shots then a few in water shots."

"So since you guys are in your swimsuits already we can start with the in water action shots we'll start with duo shots of Rocky and Ashley in the water maybe a few couple style shots."

"Fine with us." Ashley said heading off with Rocky towards the water where the cameras were setup.

The rest of group watched as Ashley and Rocky took their pictures.

Once Ashley and Rocky took their shots Nicky took her shots followed by Marina.

After what seemed like hours it was finally Eddie's turn to take her photos.

As she took her shots in the ocean Jamie couldn't help but notice how much of a natural Eddie was in front of the camera.

"Eddie if you don't mind give me a bit more sex appeal the camera loves you babe" Dean remarked as he kept snapping shots of Eddie.

Once all the shots were taken the group went back to the Marina's and looked at the shots that would be used in the magazine and ads.

"You girls all did amazing with the shoot and by the way Marina big thanks for saving us by bringing us Eddie here she's a total natural, we talked about the possibility of putting out two covers we have our team working on the spreads word has already spread that you're here all the big clubs on the island are already asking around to see if they can get to you through back channels to see if they could swing an appearance from "La Reyna" and her current mamasita"

"Hey respect I may be nice but anymore cracks like that and I will drop you job or no job."

"Forgive me Marina I meant no disrespect but a few club appearances by you and your team would be great publicity not to mention the extra four hundred grand in your pockets."

"I'll talk to the team and see but for now show us the proofs."

"Fine."

"Damn Eddie its like you were made for the camera if I was single you'd be on my wall."

"Watch it Lopez." Nicky interjected.

"Sorry babe but Eddie does look good but she's not the only one." Marina said as she snaked around Nicky and kissed her as the group continued to look through the photos.

Once the photos were approved Dean packed up and left.

"Dean before you leave green light those appearances but make sure we get taken care of one screw up and I'm going off."

"As you wish Marina the money will be in your accounts in a few hours adios."

Once the shoot was squared away the group headed to the hot tub.

"Marina before we head out to the hot tub can we talk?" Eddie asked.

"Of course Eddie head in I'll be a second." Marina said as she set up the hot tub.

"I'll be right back girls."

Marina headed inside to speak with Eddie.

"What's up Eddie need something?"

"Actually I do if it's not too much trouble."

"Name it."

"Well I brought Jamie's engagement ring on this trip and I wanted to know if you could setup the beach for a moonlight beach proposal."

"Wow Eddie that's big I have a few strings I can pull to make it happen after the club stuff is taken of."

"Really I'd be grateful."

"No problem you can thank me when I decide to propose to Nicky in the not too distant future."

"Deal"

Eddie and Marina shared a quick hug before getting hot tub ready and heading out to rejoin the group.

"What took you guys so long?"

"Nothing Jamie it was just girl talk now let's enjoy the hot tub."

"So Jamie how's it feel to have a model girlfriend?"

"It's okay Marina I know my Eddie won't change a bit." Jamie said kissing Eddie tenderly.

"Alright you two break it up this is business trip not a baby making trip" Marina said playfully.

"Hey Rina leave my uncle alone I wouldn't mind another cousin."

"Hey Nicky now that you mention kids you and Marina have the pockets for kids make the move you'd both make hot moms."

"Ashley shut it you're scaring my girlfriend." Marina defended.

"Alright break it up guys let's just enjoy this relaxing hot tub." Eddie pipped in.

The group enjoyed the hot tub for two hours before they put the finishing touches on their schedule for night which involved convincing Eddie that the appearances were worth it because of the extra money and exposure for Eddie.

"Eddie are you ready the first club wants us there asap we'll blow the roof the place."

"I got it Marina this top is a bit tight."

"Leave it Eddie you look fine Jamie won't be able to keep his hands off you in that outfit."

Marina fixed the back of Eddie's midnight blue top which show off Eddie's chest.

The outfit looks great Eddie those jeans really make you stand out let's meet the crew outside we have our limo waiting make sure you have the ring you're going to the beach right after."

Eddie and Marina met up with the rest of the group and headed out to the first club.

"Eddie you look amazing tonight love."

"Thanks Jamie you clean up nice too."

Jamie was wearing a fitting white shirt and black slacks with nice loafers.

When they pulled up to the first club Marina walked up to Antonio the bouncer and flashed him a smile.

"Marina you brought heat with you tonight mami."

"Stop your flirting Tony mi Reyna is with me tonight."

"Alright go ahead I already checked your table you're clear have fun."

"Gracias Tony."

"Marina led the crew into club where salsa music blared from the speakers.

"Well guys we get a few pics and a shout out before we hit the next club lets rock".

After a few dances the group hit the VIP where they indulged in a few shots which were ok'd because Marina had pulled some strings.

After dancing for another hour the group collected their fee and headed for the next club.

"Eddie you had moves on the dance floor you were a head turner in the club."

"I may have turned heads but there's only one head I was interested in turning."

Once the group pulled up to the next club they were surrounded by club goers who wanted to snap pics of Marina and Nicky luckily they were ushered in before things got too crazy.

"I don't think I'll get used to that."

"It gets easier Eddie trust me."

"I hope so Marina."

The crew went through the same routine in the third and fourth club after which Marina sent a text to Eddie letting her know the limo was ready to take her and Jamie to the beach.

"Jamie come on we're out of here."

"Eddie where are we going Marina is our ride."

"Don't worry Jamie just go with Eddie you'll be taken care of."

Jamie followed Eddie outside to a waiting limo as he wondered what was going on.

"Eddie what's going on?"

"Jamie just relax we're almost at our intended spot."

Once the limo stopped Jamie was puzzled to be back at the beach where the shoot was setup.

"Eddie what are doing back here this late?"

"Just follow me Jamie you'll see the method to my madness soon enough."

Eddie led Jamie to the edge of the water where they stepped into a ring of seashells shaped in a heart being illuminated by the moonlight.

"Eddie what are we doing here now?"

Eddie took a breath and pulled a box from her pocket which Jamie didn't notice having been taken by the image before him.

Eddie brought Jamie back when she took his hand.

"Jamie we've had our ups and downs and been through our share of dust ups but what I'm about to do while crazy I know it's the right thing for me and for us."

Eddie dropped to one knee and took Jamie's hand.

"Jamie I brought you here to ask you one question."

Jamie couldn't think straight the woman he loved was asking him to take the ultimate plunge.

"Jamie Reagan that day we met outside the precinct we started a dangerous game you stole my heart so will you allow me to steal your last name?"

Jamie wiped a tear from his eye and took a breath.

"Edit Marie Janko yes I'll marry you."

The newly engaged couple shared a tender kiss after Eddie slipped the ring on Jamie's finger.

And with that kiss the bond between Eddie and Jamie was one step closer to being forever consequences be dammed.

That does it for this chapter next chapter will cover Erin and Abby sharing a special moment plus Danny mending the last of his broken relationships.
