Chapter 24

I unconsciously started singing and just let the song drag me along.

"She pulls me in enough to keep me guessing
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah"

"You really have a good voice, you know that?"
I felt heat rush to my cheeks and I quickly looked away.
"Thanks"
"Do you wanna know what's my favorite part?"
"Hmm?"

"'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far
I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright
If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright"

I think I died and went to heaven.
His voice is amazing!
Mine is nothing compared to his!

"What's wrong?"
"Uh- I- You-"
I apparently also lost the ability to talk as well.

"Deep breaths Julie"
I inhaled then exhaled.
"Let's ignore the fact that you have the voice of an angel"

His laughter rumbled and I couldn't help but laugh along.

We shuffled through music and we laughed, sang along to our favorite bits, talked...
All in all, I had a great time.

We felt the car come to a stop and the door next to him opened, he got out and extended his hand out.

I took it and got out.

"Good job wearing light clothing, it's warmer in LA plus you look good"
"Thank you"

I wasn't wearing anything spectacular just normal stuff.
I was wearing a striped sweater, black pants and a small purse no jewelry other than a pair of pearl studs, I had my hair in a pony tail and that's about it.

I saw the beautiful black jet again and I was determined to at least taste that first class private jet dining I was looking for.

"We do have work to do Juliana, I have paperwork to sign and you have the job of putting them in order and responding to my emails, understood?"
"Yes sir"
"Yes?"
"Derick, sorry I'm just used to it"
"It's fine"

We spent the next few hours of the flight working on paperwork but when I got a little dizzy Derick thankfully let me take a small break.

"Here's the menu, see if you like anything"
"Thanks"

I took the menu from him and the first thing that caught my eye was the roast chicken and diced potatoes.

Yup, that's what I want.

"You're eyeing that chicken really intensely, okay, it's that and tomato juice"
"Tomato juice? Why not just some normal juice?"

I'm kind of disgusted, I like tomatoes but I don't like them enough to drink it.

"Try it, is actually really good sure on the ground, it will taste like a regular tomato but in the air it tastes a bit better and a bit more acidic which is strangely tastier"

"I am going to put my trust in you and hope you're not tricking me into food poisoning myself"
"Don't worry, I need you to be healthy for this trip" he chuckled.

When our lunch came, we went to sit in the dining seats.

I saw the juice sitting in front of the spoons, I observed it for a second and gave it a swing.
