Much Needed Beach Time



"I want to go to the beach." Chase said randomly while coming down stairs. "I'm a California guy, I need the beach!!" His voice raised.
He plumped down next to me on the couch, "We should take a va-ca with Dawn and Jelly..." He added.
I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, but I thought about it for a minute, then pulled out my cell and dialed Jelly.
"Hey babe, pack your bags, we're leaving for Cali tomorrow." I said. Jelly was not at all opposed to the sudden spring in decision to go on vacation.
"Hell yes." Chase said as he dialed Dawn's number on his phone.
I made a few other calls and had it arranged in no time. Grans seemed overjoyed at the idea of me visiting, along with wanting to see the engagement ring she graciously paid for.

We arrived at the airport at noon the next day. I presented my ticket to the lady behind the desk,
and she led us off away from the usual boarding area.
"Here is your flight." She motioned to the tall glass window, and sitting just outside was...a private jet.
"Wow, Grans really went all out." I said.
So while on our four hour flight, we had catering, movies, video games, and of course alcohol.
We landed and called a cab that took us straight to the beach house.

"Here we are, the Ryder Family beach house." I said when we pulled up.
"Your family has their own beach house?" Dawn asked surprised.
"Well actually half of it is Chase's, but it's in the Ryder name." I teased.
"Anything else I should know about?" Jels questioned.
I laughed, "Oh tons." I winked at her.
The first thing we did was chill in the jacuzzi. Brilliant Chase, turned on the jets before filling the tub, so once the water reached the bottom jet, it went insane and sprayed up to almost the top of the trees, and then I think Chase crapped his pants.
After taking a shower, Jels and I went to bed. I don't know what Chase an Dawn did. ;)
