“People don’t just go to Miami for the day.”
“We not regular people either. You wasting time with all these questions. We got a flight to catch. The jet is gassed up!” he let her know.
“Breakfast in bed was too basic for you today?” she asked out of curiosity.
“Nah.”
He stepped closer before gently tucking one of her damp curls behind her ear.
“I just missed my girl.” He kept it one hundred with her.
She looked toward the overnight bag. “Miami it is then.”
Jio nodded. “Plane leaves in an hour.”
“So... what would've happened if I had to go to work?” she asked out of curiosity.
He thought about it for exactly one second.
“I would’ve made you French toast and dropped you off at work.”
She shook her head before walking toward the closet.
“You know...” She looked back over her shoulder.
“Normal people plan vacations together.”
Jio smiled as he watched her disappear into the closet.
“I ain't never claimed to be normal, bookie.” He popped his shit.
“No,” she called back, pulling a sundress off the hanger. “You definitely aren’t.”
His laughter followed her through the bedroom as she packed a small overnight bag.
One day without emails, meetings, looming deadlines, and people in her face needing answers for everything was going to do her some good. A spontaneous day with the man she loved was what she needed. Nina had to remind herself that she could have it all. Love. Success. Peace. Joy and Happiness. The life she prayed for was possible… as long as she had faith.

From the moment they stepped off the plane, she decided that Miami was a good choice.
“Good job, baby,” she praised him with some head on the flight over.
Nina felt it as soon as the sun hit her skin.
“Ooh, we should-
He cut her off. “Today,” he'd told her, opening the passenger door to the black SUV waiting on the tarmac, “You’re not making any decisions.”
Nina shut her mouth and that’s exactly what he wanted.
“I got this, babe,” he let her know that she could cut her brain off. Nina didn’t protest not one bit. For once, she didn’t mind shutting the fuck up. Jio scooted in beside her and closed the door.
“Give me a kiss and tell me you love me,” he demanded.
Nina loved it when he told her what to do. She happily obliged, allowing her tongue to dance with his for a few minutes before she pulled away.
“I love it here,” she said to him with bright eyes.
