The drive back at the hotel.

"That molten chocolate cake was delicious!" Leah beamed.

All of the girls nodded in agreement.

"That was a lot of calories but it was worth it!" Jade chirped.

"Yeah, that's why I didn't order it," Jonathan chuckled.

"How was the fruit plate?" Lauren asked.

"Great," he responded, "but not fifteen dollars great."

"Well, you're paying for the ambience not for the food," Natalie giggled.

"No ****. No chocolate. Do you have any pleasures in life, Jon?" Allison wondered.

"The company of beautiful women," he smirked.

"Touche," the dye-blonde engineer grinned as the other girls giggled.

"With the twelve of us he'll be overloaded with pleasure," Eva whispered to the triplets out of earshot of Iris. The sisters laughed and gave each other subtle looks, a secret silent means of communication the sisters had perfected since childhood.

"Are you okay?" Zoe asked Leah.

"Yeah, I just think I drank a bit too much Champagne," the young aerospace engineer nodded.

"You are not going to throw up, are you?" Iris wondered with genuine concern. "We can ask Mr. Bruce to stop the limousine if you want."

"No, it's okay, auntie," Leah smiled, touching her red cheeks with her palms. "I'm just a bit flushed."

"Me too," Natalie added, touching her own cheeks.

"Aiya, what did I did tell you girls about moderation?" Iris shook her head.

"But tonight may be the last night we will drink **** for two years!" Zoe blurted out defensively.

"Oh, I'm sure I can make vodka from the potatoes we'll be growing," Eva giggled.

"Ooooh, I love vodka martinis!" Kaylee bubbled.

"Black Russian," Amber stated.

"Screwdriver," Crystal added.

"I prefer Sex on the Beach," Jade grinned.

"Wait, are we still talking about cocktails?" Eva wondered.

The girls laughed and cheered, "Nostrovia!" as the limousine pulled up to the hotel.

"Thank you, Jonathan," Iris smiled, taking her son's hand as she carefully stepped into the stretched SUV limousine.

"Thank you, Jon!" each young woman exclaimed with a bright smile when they were helped by him, much to the chagrin of the chauffeur.

"Are you going to pool with us, auntie?" Leah asked as the group walked into the lobby.

"Oh, no, I am tired. It has been a long day!" Iris smiled back. "I will take a nice hot bath before I go to bed but you should enjoy yourself! My son is very good swimmer!"

Leah glanced over at Jonathan while he chatted with Cindy and Lauren, and unconsciously bit her lower lip when she imagined him wearing the swim trunks he had bought after they had left the lingerie store. She stopped and pulled Natalie and Zoe aside.

"Hey, girls," Leah whispered, looking to make sure Iris was out of earshot before she continued speaking. "Are you going to the pool? I'm not sure if I should go because I can't swim..."

"I'm not a great swimmer but I'm going," Natalie replied. "You don't need to actually go into the pool! Just lounge around and socialize!"

"Besides, we'll finally get to see how ripped Jon is!" Zoe giggled, glancing over at the rest of the group in front of the elevators.

"That's all the reason I need to go to the pool then!" Leah laughed as the three of them headed towards the elevator lobby.
