Winter's Arrangement

Chapter 2 RIO

Chapter 2 RIO- couple months later

It took us 22 hours to reach Rio. It was only us five fierce sexy ladies on a girls only trip. Unfortunately, Katie’s and Trish’s boyfriends didn’t approve of our trip and ended the relationship. So now we are all single and ready to party with no one holding us back. Katie got us a penthouse suite at one of the best resorts with beach access. The view from the balcony was insane. She also got us VIP sky box club tickets for Carnival. Since my dad found out that I was going on this trip he had assigned four body guards to escort us everywhere. I have grown to appreciate the added security. Being the daughter of an oil tycoon puts a huge target on my back. I have almost been kidnapped a handful of times. We all decided to crash that night because the flight was long and exhausting. 

In the morning I wake up and do my morning routine and throw on a maxi dress and put my flip flops on. I leave my room and enter the kitchen of our penthouse. Thank goodness Katie and Lily were already up with coffee brewed and breakfast ready. 

“You know that you are a godsend, right?!” I exclaimed as I took a seat next to them on the free stool on the kitchen island. 

“Room service dear, we were not ready to start cooking duty.” Lily smiled and took a sip of her coffee. I laughed and nodded, making myself a plate and coffee. 

“So what time should we start getting ready, it’s already 10am, and I know it's going to take the other two about two more hours to wake up.” I said. 

“Well let’s just hang around for now until they wake up. Then we can start to get ready and then pop open a bottle and start the pre-party.” Katie said, finishing her breakfast. 

“Ok sounds good, plus the view is killer here and I am going to spend as much time as I can enjoying it. I might even put a bikini on and start my tan.” I said as I scarf down my breakfast. 

I went and changed into my yellow bikini and took out my k****e to read. It was peaceful out here and hearing the birds and the ocean was magnificent. I sat on a reclining lounge chair. If I didn’t know any better, I might say that I am now officially over Jake. I am ready to be the woman I was meant to be. After about an hour reading I turned to lay on my tummy to get some sun on my back. I didn’t realize I had dozed off until I felt Ice cold water pour over me. I screamed and hopped out of my chair. Trish was holding a bucket hunched over laughing, gasping for air. The other girls were right at the entryway laughing also. I glared daggers at Trish and started to chase her around. 

“Trish, you're so going to get it!” I yelled as we chased all around the suite. I finally tackled her onto the carpet of the living room and tickled her senseless. 

“Ok, mercy! Mercy!” She cried out in laughter. As much as I hate being pranked, I could not help but love how we all act together. Epic story on our first day of Girls week. 

“Ok, now that everyone is up, let’s get this party started!” Angie said, popping a bottle of Prosecco. She poured it into five glasses and we cheered to start our girls week. We had a quick lunch and then went to get showered and changed for the club. I wore a gold bodycon dress with gold heels and my hair was loose. I had a smokey eye and nude lip. I also put on my gold bangle bracelet for the finishing touch. Katie and Angie wore black dresses, Trish wore a navy blue and Lily wore a silver dress. We were all sexy and fine as hell. We were definitely going to be breaking hearts tonight. 

“So before we go, we need to assign a designated person. And are we remaining celebate with men or not?” I said. I like to know that we had all our basses covered. Having my security team was good for outside protection, but what about inside? I was not planning on flirting with anyone, but I didn’t want my friends to lose out. 

“Ok, let's rock paper scissors for the designated person. And let's have an all male ban this week. I for one want to hate men right now.” Trish said and the other ladies agreed. So Trish and Lily went first, Tirsh won. Katie and I went and I lost. I turned to Angie and she lost, meaning the loser between Lily and Angie. Angie won leaving Lily to be our designated person. 

We left the resort in a limo and headed to the club. We were given the whole VIP treatment from arrival to bar service. We sat in our roped off section with two large sectionals. We immediately started to take shots and rant on how much we hate men. Then Trish and Angie stood up and ushered us to dance. We were all tipsy and swaying our hips to the music. It was nice just being us girls. Men would try to approach us and dance with one of us but we held our defenses and shooed them away. This night was about only us girls. We didn’t need to flirt with men, we needed to blow off steam. This was one of the most therapeutic nights ever. We all head back to our section for a break.

“Ok, how about we play with some hearts ladies?” Angie asked with a sly smile. I am sure she was scouting the right prey to entertain us. We were evil and cruel tonight. We had no intentions of hooking up with anyone, but it didn’t hurt to get to know new people. We all nodded and looked around nonchalantly for our victims. 

“So there was a group at the bar that kept trying to catch our attention?” Katie said. 

“Or over at the corner VIP booth full of prospects?” Trish said. 

“I think I like the bar guys, and there are more than enough of them to sit with us.” Lily said. 

“Maybe we might just get two guys each if my counts are right.” I said. We were a vixen for sure. Poor guys, they are going to have a major case of blue balls when we are done with them. 

“Ok Aria, you are better at bringing them over. Go get them, tiger!” Angie said. I looked at the group and they were all very good looking with a mix of brunettes and blondes, some looked like they smoked. I am sure if I took Trish with me as my wing-girl we had a better chance of luring them over. I was really good at reading people and guessing what they want.Trish was an avid smoker and I only smoked on occasion. That was what made us stand out from our group.

“Ok Trish you are my wing-girl. Follow my lead, we are going to do a false matchstick.” I said. Silly but the girls and I have game plans for such occasions. We developed our luring game in college. 

“I’ll order another round while we are at it.” Trish said and I nodded. We both exit our corner section and make our way to the bar. 

“Hey Aria, I forgot my lighter, do you have one?” Trish said as we came to an open spot on the bar next to our victims. 

“Let me check.” I say and open my tiny clutch and curse under my breath. “Sorry girl, I forgot mine too. Let's see if we can get some matches or something.” The bartender came up to us. 

“Hello ladies. What can I get you, beauties?” He said with a flashing bright smile.  

“We need another two rounds of rum shot sent to our booth… and do you happen to have any matches?” I asked and then one of the guys beside me cleared his throat. 

“I have a lighter if you need one, and my friends and I would like to buy those shots for you?” I turned to see a model looking brunette with brown eyes trying to give me a sexy pantie dropping smile. I laugh internally at the fact that he has no effect on me and he is playing right into my trap. I smile at him. 

“Thank you, that is so kind of you. My friend and I really appreciate it.” I said and Trish batted her eyes at his friends next to him. 

“I am Justin Adams, what’s your name beautiful?” He sticks his hand out and I give him a small hand shake. 

“Aria Winters.” I said and tried to release my hand but he seemed to be in a trance and didn’t want to let go. “Sorry handsome but I am going to need my hand back.” I said and I giggled as he released me, turning his head to conceal the blush that permeated his cheeks. I pegged him for more of a playboy instead of a bashful hunk. 

“Why don’t you and your friends join us in our VIP section? We have more than enough room.” I asked and I saw several nods. Trish and I started to walk away and the guy I was talking to immediately got to his feet and wrapped his arm around my waist. Silly men and their possessive ways. I am sure he was gloating right now. 

We all situated ourselves in the booth and started taking shots and laughing our heads off. We come to find out that they are all from Chicago on a guys week out for Carnival. 

“I want to dance more. Who wants to join me?” Angie blurted and we ladies squealed. I am sure the guys were all flinching from our outburst. Soon the guys, which happen to be eight of them, began to fight each other over turns. 

“Boys, calm down. We can all share.” I said and grabbed Justin and his blonde friend by the hands and escorted them to the dance floor. I was sandwiched between them as they swayed with me and ran their hands up and down my body. 

“If you had to choose between leaving with me or Justin, who would you go with?” The Blonde, I think his name was Kent Jones, said into my ear. He was dancing in front while Justin was behind me. I looked up at him confused. Then I suddenly turned to face Justin, still dancing sandwiched between them. 

“Let’s continue this back at my hotel suite. I want you.” Justin said into my ear while Kent was nipping at the back of my neck on the other side. I was feeling a little hot and bothered but I had enough self-control to resist them. 

“Will see.” Was all I said to no one in particular. “I’m thirsty” I said and they both stopped and escorted me back to our booth. Katie and Lily were back too with two of the other friends. Soon enough the rest of the group joins and Lily and Katie start to yawn. That was our signal to leave before we get any more offers. I honestly didn’t want to leave with either Justin or Kent. 

“We should head out ladies. We have an early excursion and I know Angie needs her beauty sleep.” I said and got up with the rest of the ladies. You could see all the pouting sad looks the guys were giving us. 

“Wait Aria, let me have your number just in case we all have a chance to hang out one more time before we all leave our vacations.” Justin asked and I figured why not. He handed me his pen and I scribbled my number on a napkin. 

“How come he gets your number and not me?” Kent faked hurt and pouted like a toddler. 

“You can get it from Justin. I have to go now.” I said and tried to escape them. They both took one hand and kissed it and glared at each other. They were in serious competition over little me. It was kind of funny to watch. 

“Bye fellas.” We waved one last time and exited the club into our limo. 

“That was so fun. I don’t know what my favorite part was.” Trish laughed. I bet she had more fun watching the solum look from the guys. 

“My poor legs, I think I may have danced too much.” Angie said 

“Dam Aria, you had the two hottest of the group fighting for you. I think that was my favorite part. Their friend Sean and I were actually talking about it. You could see them staring daggers at each other when you were dancing with them, you in your own little world and them secretly fighting behind your back.” Katie laughed. So did the rest. 

“They both asked me back to their place, I gave neither an answer. I could tell that they were feeding off each other. The jealousy was real.” I said. We all continued to laugh until we got back to our suite and crashed for the night. That was one of the best nights, a great start to enjoying my single life. I really didn’t need a man to be happy. I had my friends and my work. I know in time I will find a man that will love me, all of me and not just for my title and wealth. So in the meantime I am going to have as much fun as I can.
