Jessica had never had the opportunity to visit the very popular Chiachester International Airport before and she marveled in awe at what she saw. The only way she could have seen an airport before was if watched it on the television or the internet and those things were not her interest. "Mr. Delgado, I am glad to see you again. You haven't gone on any business trips in the last four months" a man with the name tag of Jack spoke to Xavier as he entered the waiting area. "Is the plane ready?" Xavier asked not returning the extensive greeting made by Jack. "Yes, Mr. Delgado we have fueled and are currently prepared for take off. Let me take you to the waiting room" Jack said leading them. He led them past the normal boarding center which was very rowdy and full of people. The announcer's voice echoed through the whole room as they passed by. Jack stopped at a door that had a tag with the letter body written, VIP BOARDING AREA. "You can go in. If you need anything do not hesitate t

"Wake up," Xavier said shaking her a little. Jessica stirred in her sleep and then suddenly her eyes shot open. "Where am I?" she asked wiping the drool that had now consumed her face. "Aurora Haven," Xavier said looking outside. The plane had come to a complete stop almost thirty minutes ago but Xavier had quietly dismissed the crew as he then proceeded to watch her sleep peacefully. "Oh we are here?" she asked with a sense of excitement. At first, she thought of leaving Chiachester City after the divorce. She knew that that might be the only way she would survive the criticism. But after she got the restaurant the thought of leaving her dream behind because of a little criticism was hard to bear. She knew that she might not be able to see any other place outside Chiachester if not for such an opportunity and hence her excitement. "You're happy?" Xavier asked like her emotions were something strange. "Although I do not want to impose on your business meeting, it still feels ni

Jessica freed herself from Xavier's grip and moved to the kitchenette she opened up the refrigerator to meet it filled with everything and anything one could think about. "We are to make our meals ourselves?" Xavier asked out loud. "You do not like it? I think it's a very good idea" Jessica said closing the refrigerator and then opening the cabinets one by one. Cereals that she had never seen before, instant noodles and other types of instant packet foods and spices lined the shelves. "I love the view," she said when she looked out the window that was over the sink. There was a nice beach with a speed boat on the deck. "Glad to see you love it here," Xavier said sitting on the couch made available in the room. "I did not...." she started but got cut off by him. "Plan it? I know you've said it more than enough times now and I believe you so don't say it again" Xavier said. "I guess it is good to see you happy after being down for so many days. It's like you never recovered from

"I would love to" Jessica standing up. "I think I should take a shower first before we go. I'm feeling very sticky" she added going to her suitcase to pull out a dress. She was glad she brought something that could be likened to a sundress at least she could wear that on the beach."Take your time, we aren't in a hurry" Xavier responded to her. Jessica entered the shower and turned in the water. As the water hit her body she began to wonder about the attitude of Xavier since they got there. He had held her hand even though they couldn't see Ethan again and he only let go when she pulled away. And then now what he displayed just a moment ago. 'Was it possible that he is falling for me? Or is he pretending?' she asked herself as the cool water penetrated her skin. After a nice warm shower, she changed up and came out to stand in front of him. He looked her up and down before standing up. "Let's go," he said grabbing her hand. "Are you not going to take a shower too?" she asked him

Xavier pulled from Jessica and moved to the bathroom. Jessica stood there feeling her legs grow weak she barely made it back to the couch. What was that interaction now? And why did it happen? She was so sure he was going to kiss her considering the lowness and deepness of his stare. His voice went down several octaves she was sure he could not go any further. "Why did you do that just now?" Xavier murmured to himself as he stood watching his reflection in the mirror. A smile unknowingly crept up his face. He entered the shower and had a long cooling one. He felt his muscles relax and he felt better than before. He came out of the bathroom to meet Jessica busy in the kitchen. He stood at her doorframe and began to watch her as she went back and forth to the kitchen. Why was she so good at what she did and why did she look good while doing it? She turned back to pick something at the kitchen island and was startled to see him starting directly at her. She raised an eyebrow at him
