Bermuda

(Nerina's P.O.V)

Three days later

As I'm walking to my connecting flight through the Miami International Airport, I hear a woman screeching behind me.

"Nerina!!!!!!!!!"

I turn around and am almost bowled over by a woman with shoulder length auburn hair, crushing me in a hug.

"Oh, I've missed you so much!" I hear the woman screech.

Ah, this would be Elizabeth Bardot, or Lizzie, our Canadian doctor. Lizzie pulls back from me, squishing my cheeks with her hands, making my lips pucker out like a fish. I try to talk but my words are muffled thanks to her squishing my face. She finally removes her hands from my face to allow me to talk.

"Lizzie! I didn't know that you were going to be meeting us here! I thought we'd be seeing you at the villa?" I ask.

"SURPRISE! Nikita booked me on the same flight from Miami as you guys. Riding in first class bitch!" She says.

I can't help but laugh and loop my arm with hers as we continue our way to the terminal, talking about her work and the fact that Ashe had texted her a picture of a bump on her ass, asking what it could be. She seriously gets so annoyed with us when we send her questions and pictures of random things, asking what they could be. We arrive at our gate and see Corie and Kita sitting near the big window, sipping coffee and working on their laptops.

"Uh uh ladies, laptops away! This is a vacation!" Lizzie states.

"Kita, why didn't you tell me that Lizzie was meeting us here?" I ask, as she gets up from her seat to give us each a hug.

"I wanted it to be a surprise." She laughs out, moving on to hug Lizzie.

"Well, color me surprised. Everyone else is meeting us at the villa, right?" I ask.

"Ummm, yeah." Kita says, uncertainly.

"Nope! I'm here bitches!" I hear someone shout.

I turn around and see Kailani walking over to us. Her dark brown, waist-length hair flowing out behind her. Her bright brown eyes sparkle with mischief and her lips are pulled up into a warm smile.

"Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the camel! Everyone was meeting us here. Next, Ashe and Anne will be coming around the corner instead of already being in Bermuda." I laugh as I give Kailani a hug.

"Nah, those girls are already there. I wouldn't make them come all the way to Miami just to back track to Bermuda," Nikita says.

"Are we all flying first class then?" I inquire.

"Duh, of course we all are. I wasn't about to separate us like that." Kita answers, while rolling her eyes at me.

I swear she rolls her eyes any harder and they'll fall out of her head. We all take our seats as we wait for the plane to arrive, talking about how much this vacation was needed and how excited we all are to finally get there and relax. The plane soon arrives, and we start boarding, sitting in our assigned seats in first class. The two-and-a-half-hour flight goes by quickly for us and soon we are landing at the Bermuda LF Wade International Airport. We get our passports stamped and walk to the baggage claim to await our luggage where we see a tall man with bronzed skin, dark brown hair pulled into a high man bun and piercing blue eyes wearing a suit holding a sign with my name on it. I can't help but notice how tall he is and how well muscled he must be under that suit; it's making my panties wet just thinking about it.

"Hello, I'm Nerina." I say to him, holding out my hand for him to shake.

"Hello Ms. Nerina, my name is John Drummond, and I will be driving you this evening. Are we waiting for any luggage?" He asks.

"Yes, we have one bag for each of us so five bags total," I responded.

He nods his head and goes to grab an extra baggage cart; he gets back just in time for our luggage to begin gliding around the carousel. Kailani, Corie, Kita, Lizzie, and I grab our bags as they make their way around. John puts each bag on the cart and soon enough, we are walking our way to a stretch limousine that is parked at the curb.

"Kita! Did you do this?" I squeal, having never been in a limo.

"Gotta keep us riding in style." She laughs out, giving me a hug.

We all climb in and open the bottle of champagne that was in the back as John climbs into the driver's seat and closes the partition. We turn on music and begin toasting in celebration of our vacation and my birthday.

"To the men and the dicks, we will ride!" Corie yells out.

"To Nerina for getting old!" Kailani laughs out, slurring her words a bit.

"To our hot bodies! May our boobs never sag and may our vaginas never get dusty!" I cackle out.

The partition lowers after what feels like only a few minutes and John lets us know that we have arrived at our villa, stepping out of the driver's side, and opening the back door for us. He pops the trunk once we are all out of the limo and begins unloading the trunk.

"Here you are ladies. Would you like some help getting your bags inside?" He asks.

"No thank you John, we appreciate all of your help this evening." I say with a warm smile.

"Well then, you ladies have a lovely rest of your day and have a wonderful time in Bermuda." He states as he walks back to the limo and drives off.

I finally have time to take in the villa that we rented, and it is HUGE. The exterior is off-white with a white shingled roof, and light gray window shutters, with a completely glass front door so we can see into the foyer. We walk up the front steps to the door and ring the bell just in case Ashe and Anne are sleeping or the door is locked. In a matter of seconds, we can see Ashe and Anne running through the foyer screaming their heads off that we are here. My mind kept going back to our driver, John, and his beautiful blue eyes and strong form.

I definitely need to climb THAT tree while I'm here. I think to myself as Ashe and Anne finally open the door.

"Oh my Goddess! I can't believe that you lot are FINALLY here!" Ashe screams out, in her beautiful Yorkshire accent.

Ashe, our British babe and best-selling paranormal romance author, has gotten pretty much all of us into the habit of saying "Oh my Goddess' ' in situations like this. It's become a thing. Her beautiful, short and curly hair is a new color this month, a pretty blue and pink balayage that compliments her porcelain skin and green eyes. She's petite and her boobs are phenomenal, and honestly, we are all a little jealous at how big but perky they are. Kita often jokes that she's a little gay for Ashe, but lesbe-honest, we are all a little gay for Ashe.

"Nerina! I can't believe you are joining the old birds club!" Ashe says as she pulls me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Ashe! I'm so happy that you could get away from your little crotch goblins and have some fun with us!" I joke.

Of our group of friends, Ashe and Anne are the only ones who have kids whom we all love dearly as their aunties. Ashe releases me with a playful smack to the shoulder for my comment about her children; Anne comes up next and pulls me into another hug.

"Hello birthday girl! Happy you finally made it." She tells me.

Anne is our Aussie darling, but DO NOT say she lives in the "bush" or "down under". It annoys the piss out of her. She's another blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty with beautifully tanned skin from the ranch she lives on. She's a professional chef during the day but is a rancher by night, or however the phrase goes. She's relatively tall, about 5 foot 10 inches and curvy, and she's absolutely gorgeous with her freckles across the tops of her shoulders and across her nose and cheeks.

"Glad you could get away from the little ones too, Anne. Though I do miss their little faces," I say as I hug her back.

"Alright ladies, let's take this party inside!" Kita yells out.
