Club scene - 'Get Me Bodied' by Beyoncé 

Cris' POV

Marissa, Salvatore, and I sat with Ryan until his flight back to New York was called over the loudspeaker.

"Thank you both for sitting with me. You didn't have to stay."

"It is okay, Ryan, we have time."

"Cris, now that Reed, Candi, and Miranda are gone, all we need to find now is that weasel, Chase."

"I agree, Marissa. But Chase has something Reed, Candi, and Miranda didn't have - money. Chase can go anywhere he wants. He could be in this airport, disguised, and we wouldn't know it. I know it is hard, but we have to wait until he makes a slip-up."

"Flight 1029 to New York is now boarding. Please have your tickets ready to hand to the ticket agent."

"Well, Cris and Marissa, that is my flight. It was great to see you again, Cris. And, nice to meet you, Marissa."

"You too, Ryan. Nice to meet you."

"Give Braelyn a hug and kiss for me. And, tell Layla and Logan we said hello."

"Will do." Then, Ryan got up and made his way to the ticket agent. He gave her his ticket. Then, he turned around and waved goodbye. We waited until Ryan's plane headed towards the runway. After that, Salvatore drove Marissa and me to the private airport to fly back to Florida.

******************************

It didn't take us long to get to the private airport. The plane was gassed up and ready to go.

"Thanks for the ride, Salvatore. It was good to see you again."

"Good to see you too, Cris. And, you too, Marissa. You handled your business back there."

"I learned to defend myself from the best - my Uncle Kalani."

"Cris and Marissa, have a safe flight. And, we will keep you posted on if we spot that twerp, Chase."

Salvatore drove to a safe distance from the plane. Marissa and I boarded and took our seats. The flight was ready to take off, so we buckled our seat belts and left the tray tables up. Then, the jet took off.

*****************************

Kam's POV

I can't believe I sat there and watched that. I felt relieved and satisfied. Miranda deserved everything she got. Now, all we have to do is find Chase and all of our troubles will perish.

Cris is going to be one lucky man tonight. Día and Rocco are with my dad. And, Bella and Kekoa are with Isabela and Antonio. We are going to celebrate Cris and Kamea style - all night lovin'. So, I sent Cris a text, with a picture of what I was wearing.

****************************

Kamea to Cris: "Get ready for some all-night celebrating. Día and Rocco are with my dad. And, Kekoa and Bella are with your parents. The house is empty, and I am completely naked. Have a safe flight and see you when you come home. 😘😘"

Within 5 minutes, Cris finally texted me back.

Cris to Kamea: "Baby doll, I am more than ready. Prepare to be worked and worn out for the next few days. 😏😏"

****************************

While waiting for Cris to come home, I fixed myself something to eat because I am going to need energy for what is in store tonight.

******************************

Narrator's POV

Meanwhile, in the air.

******************************

Cris' POV

Thank goodness there is a bathroom on this jet because after seeing that picture Kamea sent in the text, I need a very cold shower. Wait until I get home. She is going to get it. Fortunately, I keep clothes in the mini closet on board. After stepping out of the shower, I changed and went back to sitting with Marissa.

"Needed a cold shower after what Kam sent, didn't you?" Marissa said while laughing her head off.

"I sure did. All four of the kids are with the grandparents, so the house is all ours."

The flight attendant came from the cockpit. "Mr. Fiore, the captain wanted me to let you know we would be landing in Miami in two more hours. Would you both like anything to drink or eat?"

"Just water for me. And, thank you, Jenny."

"I would like a Mango Brava Daiquiri, please?"

"Coming right up."

Jenny came back with my water and Marissa's drink. After I finished my water, I fell asleep.

Two hours later.

"Please put your tray tables up and seatbelts on. We are cleared to land. Welcome to Miami." By the time we arrived, it was after seven o'clock.

My pilot made a safe landing. Then 10 minutes later, Marissa and I got off the plane.

"I'll drive you home." One of the private airport employees drove my truck over to where we were standing. "Thank you." I gave him a tip. Then, we got in and made our way home.

*****************

After dropping Marissa home, I made a beeline straight to my house. Of course, I drove safely.

After pulling up on our driveway, I got out and went inside. As soon as I was inside the house, the scene was set - inside the living room was a naked Kamea on a blanket by the fireplace. Everything I had on came off.

"Welcome home, Tiger. Care to join me?" She blew me a kiss, and that was all she wrote. I was on that blanket so fast, it was not funny.

Kamea wrapped her arms around my neck and legs around my waist. "Let's get this party started."

*****************************

Narrator POV

Cris called both sets of grandparents and asked if they could watch the twins another day because they were both worn out after their long, celebratory night. 

*******************

Three weeks later, it is now time to celebrate again. The grand opening of Kalani's restaurant and Cris' club is here.

Everyone will be attending the restaurant opening. Then, the grandparents will take care of the twins.

Kam's POV

This is an exciting and amazing night for two of my favorite men - my dad's restaurant and Cris' club. Layla and Bliss were disappointed they couldn't make it to the openings.

Everyone is ready and downstairs, waiting for me. So, I made my way to join everyone.

"Ta-da!" I twirled around in my dress.

"You look pretty, mommy," My little prince came over and told me. I kissed him. "Thank you, handsome."

It is a little over a year since Rocco said that to me when Cris was in the hospital. I loved it then, and, I love it now.

Cris said the same thing. "Not only are you pretty, but, also sexy and beautiful."

I kissed Cris and heard throats clearing and 'eww' from Día and Rocco.

I went to hug my dad. "Congratulations, Daddy. Noeli and I are both so proud of you."

"Thank you, baby girl. That means a lot to me. And, I am so happy to have my girls with me. I am looking forward to the luau dances we used to do."

"Me too. It has been a while."

Cris stepped away, then came back. "The limo is here. Let's go to the restaurant."

*************

Kalani's POV

I am a nervous wreck about opening up the restaurant. South Beach is a hot spot and an excellent location. It was a 20-minute ride to the restaurant. When we pulled up, Cris had flashing lights set up for both the restaurant and club. There was a line for both places. Even the media was there.

"Cris, I just want to say thank you so much for all of your support with not only the restaurant but with both Noeli and Kamea. Both my girls have two, special guys."

"You're welcome. Both Kamea and Noeli made it easy for Marco and me to love them. Everybody ready to make some noise in South Beach?"

"Let's do this!" Said, my very super excited daughter.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is Matt Jennings from MIN Channel 5 News coming to you live in South Beach where tonight we have a double grand opening. Mr. Kalani Palu is opening his restaurant and right next door, his son-in-law, Cris Fiore is opening his nightclub, 'Club Cacao.' Mr. Palu is about to speak."

"Thank you all so much for attending the grand opening of Mama Jayde's Hawaiian Cuisine. I wanted to do something to not only honor my wife who passed away last year but to also be closer to my daughters and their families. I have two of the best son-in-laws a father could ask for - Cris and Marco Fiore. They treat my daughters like the queens they are. Thank you all for your support and hope you enjoy the food."

Everyone gave a round of applause. Then, I grabbed a large pair of scissors and cut the ribbon officially opening the restaurant. A few tears dropped from my eyes, so Kami and Noeli both hugged me. Everyone, meaning the consumers, went inside.

Before we went inside, we followed Cris over, so he could open his club.

Cris' POV

"Just like my father-in-law said, thank you all for attending the grand opening of Club Cacao. Last year, my wife and I decided to move to Miami. And, we absolutely love it. I knew this would be a perfect city to open a new club. Miami is a happening town - many different cultures, cuisines, and beautiful beaches. The support for both the restaurant and the club is amazing. And to have my queen, my children, parents, brother, along with his wife and my father-in-law here is truly special. Thank you all so much for coming out tonight."

I wanted Kamea to help me cut the ribbon, so I put my hands over hers, then we cut the ribbon to officially open the club. 

We all then made our way back to the restaurant.

****************

Kam's POV

My dad has some of the best people running the restaurant, so he can spend time with Kekoa and Isabella. He said he will go in a couple of days during the week. There are also several rooms that patrons can use for large parties. When we walked into the room our family was in, we saw Uncle Keoni and Koa. Like a little kid, I ran over to my uncles and gave them a big hug.

"Uncle Keoni and Koa, I can't believe you all came! It is so glad to see you! But, you missed dad cutting the ribbon."

"It is good to see you too, Kami. We actually were able to watch the ribbon cutting from the monitor in the room. And, we wanted to see the kids."

"Nonna Isabela and Nonno Antonio are holding them. Here comes Día and Rocco."

They both came running over. Both Uncle Keoni and Koa picked them up and swung them around. Noeli was right behind them. Cris and Marco came over too.

My uncle Keoni told Cris, "Congratulations on opening the club. We will come over after leaving the restaurant."

"Thank you for the support. I always wanted to open one in New York, and that will happen one day. But, Miami is a thriving city. So, after we moved here, I started looking for the perfect spot. And, when Kalani wanted to open the restaurant, this was the perfect spot for both places."

"Let's all take a seat because momma is hungry. I need some energy for dancing later."

"Oh no," Cris mumbled, but I heard him and stepped on his foot with my heel. "Ouch, woman!!!"

We had so much food that was set out for us - Loco Moco, Hawaiian beef curry, Huli-huli chicken, Laulau, and Mahi-mahi. That was just the meats. I gave Día and Rocco some of the chicken and fried rice. Grandma and grandpa fed bottles to Isabella and Kekoa.

"This is yummy, mommy."

"Glad you like it, princess." 

After dinner, we had dessert and coffee. My dad has Cris' wine also in the restaurant. So, we had a glass and I wanted to say a few words. I grabbed Cris and my dad then stood in between them.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please? I would like to say a few words. I just wanted to say not only am I a proud daughter, but a proud wife. Congratulations, daddy and Cris. I have no doubt that both places will be successful. And, to have them right next to each other is special. I couldn't have asked for a better father and a husband. I love you both. I can't wait to do the luau dances. And, one day, I am going to teach Cris and he is going to dance with me."

He looked at me crazy, while everyone else chuckled. "Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously. I can be pretty convincing, you know? You were pretty convinced when you came back from California and we ----."

"Kami, remember that kids are here. Thanks, sweetheart." 

"You're welcome, daddy."

Cris then says, "I'll think about the dance. And, thank you, sweetheart."

"You're welcome, handsome."

We took pictures of this memorable occasion. Then, we said goodbye to the kids.

"Isabela, daddy said he would watch Día and Rocco."

"Kamea honey, it is okay. We can watch all four kids. Go ahead and enjoy yourselves."

I gave her a big kiss. "Thank you so much. I am going to plan a girls' day for us." I gave Antonio a big hug and kiss too. "And, thank you too, Nonno."

We all walked outside and waited for the limo to come. Isabela, Antonio, and the kids got in and pulled off home.

Then, we went to the club. Did my husband seriously think I was going to be a wallflower and not dance? Ha! Jokes on him.

Cris' Miami security escorted us into the club and we went to his booth in the VIP section.

"Welcome to the Fiore VIP booth." Marissa and Andre came to join us.

"Hey, Marissa and Andre, how are you guys?"

"Hey Kam, we are doing great. Especially since that witch, Miranda is gone. You had Cris taking a cold shower on the jet."

"Darn right I did. We had an empty house and could do want we wanted to, anywhere. You guys can sit all you want. Noeli, Marissa, and I are going to dance. Oh, when I come back, you are coming with me to dance, Cris."

I grabbed both of their hands and we went to the dance floor. We stayed in eye's view of Cris, Andre, and Marco. A few times, a couple of guys tried to dance with us. But, all I did was point up to the VIP section to Cris, Andre, and Marco. The guys backed off.

We had so much fun. Cris' favorite song came on. He shot down those steps real fast. Noeli, Marissa, and I went on the stage and took over. 

Cris' POV

I went right over to the DJ and told him after Kamea, Marissa, and Noeli danced, make sure he announces that Kamea is my wife, Noeli is Marco's wife, and Marissa is Andre's girlfriend.

I could already tell that a few of the men in the club were looking at the ladies with lust in their eyes. 

After they were done, the DJ did exactly as I told him. "Ladies and gentlemen, a big round of applause for Mrs. Kamea Fiore, wife of Mr. Fiore. We also have wife of Marco Fiore, Mrs. Noeliani Fiore. And, we have the girlfriend of Mr. Andre Wilson, Marissa."

Those guys that were staring, stepped away from the stage really fast. Then, we all went back upstairs.

"Whew, that felt great to get that first dance-off my chest. Wait until you all see what Bliss and I have in store at Layla's wedding. We are going to knock your socks off."

"That is what I am afraid of. That is next week. Let's enjoy tonight."

"Yeah, and celebrate the fact that Miranda is finally gone. I am so glad you all found her. Women like her drive me crazy. Marissa, I hear you did the deed."

"Yes, I did, Noeli. Yes, indeed I did. Now, all we have to do is find that weasel, Chase."

Chase's POV

"If only they knew that I was in the next booth over."

With this disguise, they will never know that I am right in the vicinity. I see Cris got to Miranda before I did. Good riddance. Now, I need to come up with a plan. And, I know what I am going to do. Then, wham! She will finally be mine.
