On their honeymoon in Jamaica, Austen and Mercedes Blackwell sit on the beach. Austen was wearing some blue board shorts, a pair of sunglasses, and plenty of sun tan lotion. Mercedes was wearing a blue bikini, along with pair of sunglasses. The two of them were sitting on lounge chairs as they enjoyed the waves rolling in and out.
Austen: This? This is amazing, babe.
He looks over to her, taking her hand in his.
Austen: I could sit here forever.
Mercedes: It is perfect. Best idea ever for a honeymoon.
She looks over towards him, before out to the waves.
Mercedes: Maybe make this a tradition every year for our anniversary?
Austen: Fancy girl, with a fancy appetite for…
He pauses..
Austen: Fancy things, I guess?
He laughs.
Mercedes: What fancy things? I’m thinking more like having fun, more so while we are young, and have no kids.
She laughs softly, looking over at him. Austen nods as they see some locals out in the water surfing.
Austen: Speaking of fun…
He lowers his sunglasses.
Austen: You know I am going to be asking for a title shot soon.
He chances his honeymoon with a little bit of business talk. She looks at him, as she nods her head yes.
Mercedes: I do know that, I figured you would be. Are you really doing it here?
Austen: Just for a moment. I have a brand new focus. After the thing with Pagan, I know what I need to do. I just want you to know that I will do whatever it takes to get the job done. I know that I came up short in the past. But I’ve worked harder than ever, babe.
Mercedes knew he had as well. She keeps looking at him.
Mercedes: Which means more, a title, or getting back at Pagan?
Austen smiles.
Austen: Both. I’ve worked my way up towards a Long Beach Title shot. You know that. Wife or not, as a General Manager, you know that.
He leans over and kisses her cheek.
Austen: And Pagan? That is personal.
Mercedes was looking at him, before she looks out towards the waves again.
Mercedes: You have worked your way to it, I won’t deny that. How about we talk about it when we get back home?
She glances back at him.
Mercedes: He can be personal, but don’t let it overwhelm you.
Austen: That is fair. But just know, this conversation? It will be continued.
A waiter approaches them with two drinks.
Waiter: Margaritas.
Austen: Nice.
Mercedes takes one, as she nods her head at Austen.
Mercedes: It will be yes, but for now our honeymoon, enough business talk babe.
Austen takes the other one.
Austen: A toast.
They raise their glasses.
Austen: To us. Forever and always. Soulmates. And best friends.
Mercedes: To us. For the rest our lives. Cali Couple.
She smiles at him as she says that. He leans over to her and kisses her.
Austen: I love you Mercedes Blackwell.
Mercedes: I love hearing that name. I love you too Austen Blackwell.
She leans against him, as she looks out to the waves.
Mercedes: This is perfect.
The two of them clank their glasses and take sips as they continue to enjoy their honeymoon.
