the taxi.
     
    It only takes Reagan twenty
minutes to get here; I really lucked out having a best friend who
lives so close by, “Your chariot awaits my queen.” Reagan grabs my
Louis Vuitton suitcases, while I carry my purse and hand luggage
out to our cab, I didn’t want to chance leaving my Audi at the
airport.
     
    “Stop calling me that! I
really need to think of a nickname for you that will completely and
utterly drive you insane,” I roll my eyes and slap him on the arm.
Tossing my overnight bag and purse onto the back seat, I slide into
the back of the cab.
     
    “Nope, sorry,” he says with
a grin, “No. Can. Do. You’re stuck with that name for life. No
other nickname would do justice for someone as glamorous and
enchanting as you are.” He slides into the backseat next to me,
giving my thigh a squeeze and flashing a quick smile.
     
    “Oh dear God, how am I ever
going to survive an entire weekend with you? The mini bar better be
stocked full of liquor because you are definitely gonna drive me to
drink.” I rest my head on his shoulder and we ride in silence the
rest of the way to the airport. Eloise is flying in later tonight
due to back to back interviews with entertainment shows. We plan on
arriving into Houston around three o’clock and taking the free time
to explore a little. Our flight leaves right on time at noon and
I’m grateful there isn’t any delay; one thing I cannot stand is
being stuck in LAX for hours. We land just a little after three,
Reagan collects our bags like a gentleman and we’re off to the
hotel.
     
    The hotel has a very modern
feel to it, from the architecture itself, to the furnishings and
décor. It really was breathtaking. I could not wait to get into the
spa. Kayden offered us free spa package of our choice and I was
going to be taking full advantage of it. Reagan and I request rooms
side by side and he helps carry my bags inside, before the bellhop
brings them up to my room.
     
    “This place is stunning!
Can you believe they have these hotels all around the world? It’s
crazy.” I say to Reagan as we walk through the lobby to check
in.
     
    “Can you imagine the amount
of money it’s costing Knox for twenty Envy employees to have hotel
rooms free of charge here? They’re like, what, four hundred dollars
a night for one of our rooms? That’s not counting the spa
treatments. Hello Mr. Moneybags,” he remarks enthusiastically. We
checked in quickly and head up to the fourth floor to find our
rooms. We enter to find a continuation of the luxury inside, each
room has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the city, a cream
colored chaise lounge in the corner of the room, placed perfectly
in front of the windows. The armoire, bed and desk were all dark
wood that accented the red, brown and cream bedding and decor. I
perch on the most comfortable king size mattress I have every laid
on and know this is going to be a good weekend.
     
    Reagan lets out a long
whistle, “Now that is a view, I can’t wait to get out of this hotel
and explore the city.”
     
    “Me too, I haven’t been
here since I graduated high school, when Brooklyn and I came and
stayed at the beach house and partied the summer away,” The
memories bring a smile to my face, “We have to go to Crave Cupcakes
as soon as we leave here, I need to pick up a dozen red velvet
cupcakes. Don’t worry, I will share…one.” “I don’t know how the
hell you eat like you do and not gain a single ounce.”
     
    “ I’m blessed with a high
metabolism,” I laugh, “The kick boxing class helps too. I just have
to hang my dress up for tomorrow night, and then we can go. If you
want to head over to your room I’ll come over once I’m
ready.”
     
    “ Okay, but don’t take
forever, we going out to Knox’s club tonight? I need to find me a
southern belle to sweep off her feet.” He winks at me, flashing his
boyish grin.
     
    “ Yeah for sure, we can have
dinner in the restaurant downstairs and then
