Chapter 13

A.J. decided that we should stay at the Excalibar,
it looked so cool! It was like a castle,
but it was a hotel!

"A.J. are you sure all 3 of us should share a room?
I mean after the wedding you guys will want to have
privacy and everything," Belle said as we
got into the elevator.

"Belle it's okay! We have plenty of
time for that," I said kissing A.J. lightly as Belle gagged.

"Fine, but if you two start anything, ANYTHING,
I'm getting my own room!" She said
as the elevator door closed.

"Have you been here before?" I asked A.J.

"Yeah, the guys and I came here once on our way to
California," he said as Belle and I looked at each other.

"You guys drove to Cali?" Belle asked.

"Well let's just say we were low on cash,"
A.J. said as Belle and I nodded.

"Here's our floor!" Belle said as the elevator
door opened at the 7th floor.

"What number is it?" I asked A.J. as we looked for it.

"317," he said looking at the key card.

"There!" Belle pointed. We walked down the long hall
to our door. A.J. slid the key card
as the light turned green to let us in.

"Oh wow!" I said looking at
our room. "What kind of room is this?"

"It's the uh…the honeymoon
suite," A.J. said as Belle mumbled words.

"This has an awesome view!" I said looking at the Las
Vegas strip. In front of the Excalibar was
the MGM Grand, and beside it was Treasure Island.

"Well you guys, we are kinda screwed," Belle
said as we looked at her.

"Why?" I asked as A.J. wrapped his arms around me.

"We have no clothes, no transportation,
no money, no…"

"Belle, you're looking at the guy who has a multi-million
dollar record contract! Plus if we need transportation
there are tons of taxis, and the clothes we can buy in
the clothes stores. You panic just about as much
as Nick!" A.J. said as I laughed.

"Well fine, how about the fact that Jessie and I are
under 21?"

"If I have my id, in which case I do, they very rarely
check for yours. You guys look older than you
are anyways," he shrugged as I kissed his cheek.

"Really? How old?" Belle said posing as I laughed.

"82!" I said as A.J. and I laughed.

"Oh thanks, I love you too," she said as I giggled.

"Check out this bed baby," I said jumping
onto the bed. "Oh it's so soft!"

"Bonsai!" A.J. said jumping onto it. "Ooo,
I like it," he said as Belle rolled her eyes.

"Look you two, we're in Vegas, let's go do something
instead of test the bed huh?" She said opening the
hotel room door.

"She's no fun without Nick around," A.J. said as
I nodded. A.J. helped me up and held
me. "Are you really happy?"

"Of course! I'm going to be Jessie McLean…well
maybe I'll stick with my last name," I said with a laugh.

"What's wrong with Jessie McLean?" He
asked tickling me.

"Ah! A.J. it's great really!" I said as Belle
came in the room.

"Come on you guys I want to gamble!" She whined as
A.J. and I walked out the door hand in hand. I felt
A.J.'s cell phone ring as I pulled it out of
my shorts pocket.

"McLean," I said with a giggle.

"Oh gag!" Nick said as we got into the elevator.

"What Carter?" I asked.

"We're about to board the plane, we'll be
there by tomorrow morning, where
are you guys staying at?"

"The Excalibar! Cool huh? It's a castle and it's huge!"

"Yeah I've stayed in it doofus, anyways, let me talk
to A.J." I handed the phone to A.J.
and started talking to Belle.

"You seem grumpy, something wrong?"

"Nope, I get really annoying when I fly," she said
tapping her foot on the ground as the numbers
went down slowly.

"Well have no fear, Nick is coming
to rescue you!" I said as she looked at me.

"When?"

"Tomorrow morning! They're coming
for the wedding!" I said as Belle's face lit up.

"Okay, bye," A.J. said putting the phone in his pocket.

"I'm ready to lose money how about you two?"
He asked clapping his hands together in excitement.

"Definitely!" Both of us said excitedly. We reached
the lobby and looked around. There were
so many things we could do!

"How about we go get something to eat,
I'm starved!" A.J. said as Belle and I groaned.

"Baby you're always hungry! You're just
as bad as Nick!" I whined as Belle nodded in support.

"Well then you guys go ahead and look
around, I'll be at that restaurant right there," he said
pointing.

"Okey dokey!" I said kissing him lightly.
"Chow babe," I said with a giggle.

"Bye," Belle said as A.J. walked away.

"Let's check out the place," I said
as we walked through the casino.

"There's too much to do! I say we just pick a
machine and start from there," Belle said giving
her strategy.

"How about this one? It's only a nickel!" I said as Belle
nodded. We sat down next to each other
and started putting in nickels.

"I won 5 nickels!" Belle said as I laughed.

"Alright! When we finish maybe you'll have a whole
dollar!" I said as she stuck her tongue out
at me. We sat there for what seemed minutes
but was really 1 hour.

"There you guys are! How much have you
guys spent?" A.J. asked as I pressed the spin button.

"I don't know, however much I can baby!" I said as I
heard the noise. "Oh I won 50 dollars in
nickels!" I yelled happily as Belle hugged me
in happiness.

"Okay you two…are crazy," A.J. said as the nickels
poured in my bucket.

"A.J. what's that?" Belle asked as we got up
from our machines. A.J. was holding a black bag.

"Nothing, all will reveal itself," he said as we both rolled
our eyes.

"Let's go somewhere else, hey let's go see
Zigfreed and Roy!" I said as Belle laughed.

"Oh let's go see the Treasure Island show!" A.J. said
dragging me out the door. We had so much
fun that day! We went to the MGM Grand,
Circus, Circus, Stardust, Riviera, and that
weirdo cowboy figure at the end of the strip.

"I'm so tired," I said lying down on the bed and
staring up at the ceiling. "Hey baby, it's
mirrors," I said pointing up with a laugh.

"EW!" Belle said as A.J. laid down next to me
and looked up.

"Oh yeah," he said in a deep voice as I laughed.

"Hey you guys, I'm going to go take a shower,
have fun staring at yourselves," she said
shutting the bathroom door.

"I sure hope her mood changes," I
said making faces at A.J. in the mirror.

"Nick will change it, or we'll beat
him right?" A.J. said making faces at me.

"Baby, we'll beat them both!" I said as he
rolled on top of me.

"I got you something when you won those nickels," he said
handing me the box. This was the small squared
box that every girl dreams of, the ring box.
"Check it out."

I opened it and stared at it, "WOW!" I screamed
hugged A.J. in happiness. "I'm afraid if
I put it on I'll fall over!" I said as I pulled it out
of the box.

"So that means you like it right?" He asked as I put
it on my ring finger. It was so beautiful I almost
started to cry.

"I love it," I whispered. I kissed him lightly, then
rolled on top of him, sitting on his stomach. "Now
where are we going to find a Dalmatian named Pongo?"

"Hmm…I don't know," he said brushing
his hands on my thighs.

"We'll need to start working on A.J. and Jessie
junior soon too," I said as his eyebrows shifted. "And we'll
need to contact the construction workers so they
can start building the beach house," I said as he
nodded. "Oh I gotta get you a
wedding ring!" I said thinking about my own.

"No you don't," he said as I nodded.

"I do! And I'll get you a really cool one to go with
your other ones," I said messing
with the 10 rings already on his fingers.

"Baby I'm fine with you as my
wedding present," he said as I shrugged.

"To bad, I want to share with everyone how
much I love you!" I said kissing him lightly
and sitting back up.

"I can't wait to see the
expressions on our parent's faces," he said as I nodded.

"My dad will flip!" I giggled, then remembered when
Denise called me a slut. I got off A.J. and sat
down in a chair aside the window.

"What's wrong baby? I thought we were enjoying the
mirrors," he said sitting up. I sat indian style
in the chair and looked at him sadly.

"I'm a slut," I said as A.J. laughed a little.

"Where did you get that from?" He asked getting
up and pulling another chair in front of me.

"Denise," I said nodding. "And she's right! I mean look
what I'm doing, I'm not even that legal yet to do
what I'm doing! Go back to Florida without me
A.J., I might as well start selling my body
to truckers," I said dramatically.

"Baby, my mom said that in anger, she has no idea
what you really do. And I'm the one that convinces
you to do every illegal thing you've
done am I right?" He asked as I nodded.

"I guess…" I said.

"Well then, chill! Everything's okay, and
tomorrow, we'll be married," he said kissing me
softly. "How about Jessie
Olsen-McLean?" He asked as I giggled.

"Awfully long isn't it?" I asked as he shrugged.

"What we have to worry about is
how we're going to name A.J. and
Jessie junior," he said.

"Hey you two, sleep! I'm not going to bed until you
do, don't want you guys messing
with the mirrors," Belle said dressed again.

"Yes mam!" A.J. and I both said. We hopped into the
bed as A.J. wrapped his arms
around my stomach, pulling me close.

"Do you think Belle can sleep on that couch?" I asked.

"I can handle it Jess, go to bed!" Belle said
jumping onto the couch.

"Goodnight baby," A.J. whispered in my ear.

"Love you," I said with a grin. I kissed him lightly
and fell asleep, the happiest
I've ever been in my life…until the next day ruined it.
