Leaving Las Vegas Novels & Stories

I can’t bring myself to look at him still, so I continue to look out the window. When we reach the back entrance I slide out of the passenger seat and instruct the valet to have my luggage sent up to Levi’s penthouse suite. We decided that Andrew and I would stay at Levi’s place to keep up the appearance of us being here to have some x-rated fun. Andrew will be playing the role of my new toy that I’ve dragged along to Sin City to blow off a bit of steam. On Levi’s dime of course. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gone off with a lover to enjoy what Las Vegas has to offer, so it shouldn’t spook the demon we’re after into hiding.

She would surely rip Iris apart. “No, Maddox. I hate it here. Are you done with your work in Vegas?” She looked scared, too. Maybe she had an idea about the consequences of today’s event. “Yes, I’ve completed the work. Do you want to get away from Vegas?” He gave her an excited look. Why hadn’t he considered it before? Yes, he would drive to Lake Tahoe and lie low for a few days. If it hadn’t been for Iris, he would have faced Rebekah’s parents and his.

she boasted and Lev appeared on the other side of the car, with a feigned grimace of anger. "Actually, she met me first, I'm her best friend," she whined and I rolled my eyes, why were we wasting our time and I didn't want to miss the flight to the best bachelorette party of my life. I hoped to make the most of the days I would still be a civilly single woman, before joining in holy matrimony to the man of my heart, for the rest of our lives. After the goodbyes, we left for the airport and in less than three hours we arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada. A city that never rested and illuminated the sky with its endless light.

asked Alexander worriedly. “No, mom and dad are leaving the day after tomorrow. Where are you? Is Eva with you, bro? When are you arriving here in San Jose?” she demanded. Alexander didn’t want his trip to end this soon but now with Eva having heard the conversation, he had no way of stretching the trip. “We’re on a road trip to Las Vegas. We’ll take a flight to San Jose in three days. Will that do?” “Oh! Why didn’t you tell me? I could have accompanied you!” she pouted, feeling upset.

I whispered, watching from the security feed as she veered onto the road like a lunatic. Ethan grinned. “I think I’m in love.” Lucas, watching with a mix of horror and resignation, muttered, “I am never getting that car back.” We didn’t have time to dwell on it. With the press distracted, we slipped out the back gate, heading toward the private airstrip. I kept my head low, my heart hammering in my chest. This was it. I was leaving my home. Leaving Jason. Leaving everything I knew. But I couldn’t think about that now.

If I did, I might say something I wasn’t ready to say. We crested the last hill and Las Vegas spilled out in front of us like a fever dream—flashing lights, mirrored towers, a haze of glitter and smoke. Even in daylight, it sparkled like it never slept. Elvis impersonators waved from sidewalks. A billboard for Celine Dion blinked in the distance. The city looked like chaos and magic had a love child. Teddy exhaled, awed. “Oh… my… god.” I pulled into a dusty roadside viewpoint and turned to him, heart pounding. “Happy birthday, Leo boy. Ready to play?” His grin could’ve melted the Strip. “With you? Always.”

Layla Almost every year since my sister turned 21, she has made a trip to Las Vegas for her birthday. Last year she and her friends stayed at the JW Marriot Resort. It’s a beautiful luxurious but pricy hotel. But, she was upset that I had not come for her birthday. We had a lot of sick patients, and we were understaffed because some of our members had also fallen ill. I felt horrible. But this year, I’m bound to make sure she has a good time.

I walked into my room, leaving my door slightly opened. “I'm sorry I couldn't inform you Earlier." He apologized, but that did nothing about the way I felt. "Where are you going?" I asked, despite not wanting to care. "I'm going to Las Vegas," he said. "There's something important I need to take care of…” he trailed off and I couldn't make out what he was saying. “What could possibly be so important that you need to leave school for a few days?" I questioned. There was a long pause on the other end of the line. "I can't really tell you over the phone," he said. "But I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Don't worry, I'll be safe."

Leon was taken aback at first, but then he let out a pitying sigh. I was so busy dealing with the final handover before my resignation that I only had some free time after I officially resigned from the company. Checking the countdown timer, I was a little dazed when I realized there were only five days left. I tapped my face a few times to clear my head a little. Then, I started packing my things. Isabel and I dated for years, and since I was fond of photography, I took many photos of the two of us. The house was filled with them. I even had some on my camera and computer.

So that's what I'm going to do. - I don't understand, Levy. - Yes, you do. I came to say goodbye. You love Mellendez and it's a very strong love. I don't stand a chance with that.
