DONNA JACKSON-Family Vacation Begins

She was looking forward to this long vacation away with Ethan and her son. Never mind that the rest of the Van Russells would be there. She could deal with that. She was the bigger person.

They were setting off to Los Angeles in the Van Russell private jet. From there they would be shuttled to the family yacht for five days, and then on to Honolulu for nine days. The Van Russells had a private resort there.

After her trip to Paris with Ethan, this would be their second time away together. Excitement was not the world. It still felt surreal that she and Ethan were actually together.

"Need some help with things?" Ethan asked her, coming into his room where she finished packing.

"All done," she said as she closed her suitcase.

"Are you sure?" Ethan walked closer and put his arms around her. "I can help."

He started to undo her pants.

She giggled. "How is that helping?"

"I just want to make sure you packed all my precious jewels," he said, his hand slipping into her panties. "Mmm, so wet."

His fingers made their way inside her and she let out a moan, leaning her head back on his chest. His fingers were so gentle, caressing her softly. She did not want him to stop.

"I'm going to enjoy this every day," he said, kissing her neck. "Now cum for me."

She did not need to be asked, she came all over his hand.

"Ethan!" she gasped in his chest.

"You're incredible," he whispered in her ear. "Let's make love."

"No!" She pushed him away. "I have to go check on Tony and make sure he has all his things."

"He's a big boy. I think he has it." Ethan slipped his hand up her shirt.

"Control yourself, mister."

She went to freshen up and went off to look for her son. They packed their things and brought them to the Van Russell mansion last night. Tony was set up in a room beside Ejay, which would be his room whenever he wanted to stay over. She was on her way when she heard someone crying.

She stopped at the door to Chrissy's room. She knocked softly.

"Hey, you okay?" She opened the door. Chrissy sat on her bed, knees up to her chest, head tucked down crying.

"Chrissy, what's wrong?"

She walked over and sat close to her, touching her leg.

"Nothing."

"Doesn't look like nothing to me. Are you going to tell me or should I go get your dad?"

"No! No, please don't," she said, wiping her face. "He wouldn't understand."

"Maybe I could."

Chrissy thought about it for a moment.

"My boyfriend."

"A-ha! Xavier, right?"

"At his party the other day, I caught him kissing another girl."

"Oh," was all Donna could say.

"And she's this pretty girl that always has been after him and she hates me and bothers me and she finally got him."

"Did he tell you what happened?"

"I saw what happened! Donna, how could he do that? I thought he cared about me," she said and started to cry again.

"Oh, sweetheart," Donna said, putting her arms around her. "I know Xavier, he's a good kid. He's also rather attractive. I'm sure he gets lots of attention."

"Yes, he does! All types of girls, prettier and smarter than me."

"He chose you to be with, right? How many other girls could he have chosen?"

"All of them! Maybe that's what he wants. To be a player. I can't believe I fell for it."

"Well, don't count him out just yet," Donna said, kissing the top of her head. "If you're meant to be with him, it'll all work out. Look at me and your father."

Chrissy smiled.

"I'm glad he has you. He was miserable without you."

TONY JACKSON-Big Brother Love

He was nervous and excited about being with the Van Russells for two weeks on vacation. He would miss hanging with his uncles and little cousins for the holidays, but he was happy to get to know this side of the family.

Ejay burst into his room.

"Hey Tone, what's up? You think we can meet some hot girls in Hawaii?"

"Dude, really? I have a girlfriend."

"She ain't going to be there."

"Don't say ain't."

"Well, she's not. You could meet a hot chick with a sister and we can sweep them off their feet."

Tony laughed. "Do I need to school you on this? You have no game."

"I'm only fifteen. You got game?"

"More than you."

"Well, there is this one girl in my class..."

"Uh-oh, now we're talking."

"She's out of my league. Cheerleader, smoking hot-"

"No girl is out of your league Ejay, it's all how you approach them. I'll help you out."

He grabbed his luggage and rolled it out of the room. The help was taking it out into the cars. Tony could get used to having others wait on him hand and foot.

"How was Xavier's party? You guys didn't take me," Ejay said.

"Strictly upperclassmen, lil freshman. But maybe next time."

When they made it to the front door and opened it, Xavier was standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Tony asked.

"I need to talk to Chrissy."

"I don't think so. You messed up."

"Come on Tony, you know me, man. I wouldn't do that. She's your sister and everything."

"Did you not kiss Asia?"

"She kissed me!"

"Whoa!" Ejay said, chuckling. "Playa, playa!"

"I'm not," Xavier said. "I didn't kiss her back."

"Oh really?"

"Come on Tony, I just need to talk to her, explain my side."

His mother walked out.

"Oh hey, X."

"Hi, Ms. Jackson. Is Chrissy coming down?"

"She should be out shortly. You two need to talk," she said and hugged him. "I know you better, kid. You're not that type of boy."

"Thanks,"

They started loading all their luggage and Xavier helped them as well.

"Yo X, Chris is not ready to talk man, give it some more time," Tony said.

"You guys are going on vacation for two weeks, I can't let her leave like this."

Chrissy and Doreen walked out of the house. Chrissy stopped and stared at Xavier.

"Just talk to him," Tony said to her.

CHRISSY VAN RUSSELL-Promise Him Forever

Everything in her told her to let Xavier go, but seeing him made her heart race in a good way.

"Chrissy-" he started.

"Five minutes," she said, walking away from her family. Xavier followed her over to the garden as she sat on a swing bench.

"Thanks for talking to me."

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Ok, then just listen," Xavier took her hand. "I know I should have stopped Asia from coming on to me. I shouldn't have allowed myself to be in that situation. I knew how she was-"

"Yes, you did!"

"I told her I was a one-woman man and you're the one. I don't want anyone else, I just want you."

Chrissy looked down at her hand intertwined with his.

"I don't know if I can handle being with someone like you X. All the girls, your fans. When you sing, it's like you're Justin Bieber or something."

Xavier chuckled.

"It's true! They love you and you're good. You may become famous."

"They're groupies, they mean nothing. They don't know me like you do. Nor do they want to try. We've been friends since...since you started hanging with Tony, right?"

"Yeah."

"You got to know me. That's what I like about you...no, that's what I love. I love you."

Chrissy's mouth opened to say something but she couldn't.

Xavier got down on his knee and took her hand.

"I don't care if you don't feel the same way, but I love you, Chrissy Van Russell. I want us to be together forever."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring.

"I know we're still young and still in school, but I want to marry you one day."

"Xavier!"

"This is just a promise ring. I promise to make you happy, forever, and ever."

He slid it on her finger. She smiled looking at it, then at him. She hugged him.

"I love it!"

ETHAN VAN RUSSELL-Overbearing Father

He did not know how he felt about this Xavier guy and Chrissy canoodling. She insisted he ride to the airport with them so they could say their goodbyes there. They kept kissing and giggling in the car and he wanted to pull over and punch the boy.

Donna touched his knee.

"Come on, you were young and in love before."

"Not that young."

"I wasn't that much older than Chrissy when I fell in love with you."

"That was different."

"Not really."

"You think they..." He almost hit the curb with the car at the thought of his daughter having sex.

"Dad!" Chrissy yelled out.

"You need me to drive?" Donna asked.

Ethan did not say anything, he just focused on getting to the jet in one piece. The sooner he got rid of Xavier, the better.

"I'm going to miss you so much," he heard Xavier say to Chrissy.

"Me too! I'll text you, FaceTime, call, DM-"

"Chrissy, go load up," Ethan said to her.

Chrissy gave Xavier one last hug, then they kissed. Ethan's patience was wearing thin. He cleared his throat.

"Bye X."

"Call me," he said.

Chrissy waved to him as Donna practically dragged her away.

Ethan stood there staring Xavier over.

"Mr. Van Russell, I-"

"Listen little punk, that's my daughter. It's my job to protect her from guys like you that will say anything to get in her pants."

"No sir, I wouldn't do that."

"No, you won't. I'll kill you first," he said and walked off.

Ethan knew how he was at that age. He knew the trouble he could get into with a girl. He was not going to allow that with Chrissy.

Hey readers!

Xavier is a hot mess! A promise ring? They're in love after how many weeks of dating? Then again, young love, you never know.

At least Ethan is trying to be a parent now, when before he could care less.

XOXO
