Preface: This story came from a challenge on a social media site. SDLee writes erotica posted a challenge to write a story based on the Jimmy Buffet song. Since I had already written a story based on Escape, The Pina Colada Song by Rupert Holmes entitled If You Like..., I decided to do another. SDLee beta read it and suggested a few improvements. He approved of this version. Thanks, my friend. It was a fun exercise.

My girlfriend, Naomi, and I had our worst fight ever. We'd been together almost three years, and I planned to ask her to marry me. I was saving for the engagement ring she wanted. I had asked her BFF Tiffany to take her on a girl's day out and get her to look at rings so Naomi could pick the one she liked. This way I knew what to get her. My plan worked but the ring was more than I could currently afford, so I was saving money to buy it for her. That put a dent in our routine. We liked to eat out a lot, and go to concerts and party with our friends. I knew I would have to cut down on our spending to be able to afford her ring. I lied to her and told her my job cut my pay and we had to be frugal. She didn't like eating at home four nights a week, and only going out to bars once a month.
She was in her final year of Law school. I was a junior associate at Gambini and Woods and assigned to the criminal law division. The pay was decent, but not what I would be making as a senior associate in four or five years. I could afford to support her, and some extras for us including a decent investment portfolio. I didn't want to charge almost ten grand on a credit card and put myself deeper in debt. I mean law school loans aren't a joke. She wanted to go out and party, to destress from school. I wanted to buy her the ring.
When spring break rolled around, she wanted to head to South Padre Island. I couldn't afford that and suggested Daytona instead. She went ballistic. "All my friends are going; I know we can afford it. Put it on one of those damn credit cards. You only live once...," were some of her arguments. I was only a few grand away from getting the ring. I needed two or three months at most, then I could propose. A trip to Texas would set me back two months or more. My plan to propose on our third anniversary would be in jeopardy.
"Naomi, we can't. First, I have to work. I can't take a week off right now. I have a trial about to start. Besides, the budget is too tight right now. I can't afford the trip. Even if I send you, by yourself, it's out of my reach right now."
We didn't talk much the next few days. Thursday night I came home late one night to a note,
"Babe, I love you. I really do. But I need to get the fuck away for a week. Clint agreed to pay for my plane ticket and Tiffany's sorority will let me stay in one of their hotel rooms. I'll be back soon, and we can talk.
Naomi.
PS I left my phone home so don't try to call me.
My mind raced and I felt sick. I knew Clint had a thing for her. He was the type of guy that would expect her to put out after he spent several hundred on a round trip ticket. "NOPE! Not on my watch, not with my girl," I shouted into the ether. My trial started Monday. Over the next few days, I planned to review all the statements and depositions to make sure we didn't miss anything. I figured I could do that as I flew to Texas. I booked a roundtrip ticket leaving tonight and returning Sunday afternoon. I packed a bag for the weekend and the files I needed, then called my supervisor. "Vivian, it's Lamarr. I need to take a personal day tomorrow. There's a family thing I need to deal with. I'll make sure to review everything before the trial."
"Don't be late on Monday. You know Vinny has a special interest in this case. He plans to be in the courtroom for opening arguments. Your position with this firm could ride on yours."
"Not that there's any pressure."
She laughed. "I hope everything's okay. You know how we are. If there's anything you need, let me know."
"I will Vivian, and thanks," I hung up the phone and tossed my charger into the bag I packed. I requested a Lyft to the mall and made a purchase. After that, I caught another Lyft to the airport and as she drove me, I reserved a car and hotel room. Thank God for AmEx's no-limit policy. Paying it off is next month's problem. But I wasn't going to let all the days we've been together get destroyed by the days we're apart. This relationship wasn't a bunch of nothing, I knew I was still in her heart.
Now I had to consider my biggest problem. How could I find a single, hot twenty-four-year-old law student in a town overrun with college girls? Especially if she didn't know I was in town. As I waited for my flight, I called hotels at random to ask if Naomi, Tiffany, or the UMinn chapter of Delta Nu had a room. Since it was the first day of spring break, the clerks had little time to answer questions or look up guest names. When they called my flight, I put my phone away and boarded. I had no idea how I got a seat. The plane was standing room only. I was stuck in the middle seat, between a drunk jock and his cheerleader girlfriend. My guess was they booked the aisle and window seats hoping no one would take the single between them. They tried to convince me to take the window seat, and I refused. We were in the air by the time we reached an agreement. I got $100 and the aisle seat, so they got to sit together. I bought them a round of drinks.
I read through all the depositions on the seven-hour flight. There was a one-hour layover in Houston, but I didn't get off the plane. I wanted to get as much done as I could, so I could spend the next three days looking for Naomi. I had a rough draft of my opening argument almost finished when it was time to land. I put all my papers away and tried to ignore the female moans from my traveling companions. Earlier I had blocked out the bouncing blanket in the jock's lap, during the first leg of the journey. This wasn't as easy to ignore.
When we landed in Texas, I disembarked and headed to the rental counter, got my car, and drove to the hotel. It was a forty-minute drive in heavy traffic. As I drove, I saw people already on the streets and going wild. I got to the hotel and grabbed the first spot I saw. I went inside and shoved my way through the throng of swimsuit-clad drunken revelers until I got to the desk. I shouted at the poor overwhelmed desk clerk so she could hear me above the cacophony.. She had to be all of nineteen and had no idea how to handle the neanderthalic behavior of the crowd.
