Sit with us

The next day came pretty fast and before I could tell, a maid knocked on the door and told me it was time to leave. I nodded showing that I understood what she meant. I went to the mirror and looked at the dark circles all over my eyes and I couldn't help but feel this would blow my cover. Both Jason and his son Kay could easily figure things out so I didn't want them to know that I didn't sleep because I was thinking about what happened yesterday.

I tried as much as possible to cover my dark circles with a lot of powder and when I felt it was covered up a bit, I rushed out so as to not delay the others.

I met the father and son duo sitting in the living room it appears they were waiting for me after all. The first person who saw me was Kay as he immediately stood up, picked up his bag, and said.

"She's finally here".

He said and began walking away. Jason turned around and without knowing, I smiled gently at him. He smiled back but I immediately shook my head, bowed, and walked away.

'Oh come on Nadia, it's already a shame you couldn't sleep at all last night, and now what? You are smiling at him like that? Ugh!!'

I thought to myself as we kept going to the car. As usual, Jason asked me to sit behind with him and Kay sat in front with the driver. Soon enough we were at the airport and then, on the plane.

I sat side by side with Jason on the plane while Kay sat wherever he pleased. It was a private plane so only Jason, myself, Kay, Miguel, and other flight attendants were on the plane.

When they got on the plane and were told that they would soon take off, Jason noticed that Nadia placed her hand on his and held onto him quite well. He was quite happy about it, but he was worried because he felt she was nervous about something and that was when he decided to ask.

"Are you okay"?

I heard him ask which made me look at him. When I looked at him, I realized he was looking down at my hand and that was when it came to my notice that I was actually holding his hand.

"Oh my!!"

I exclaimed as I tried to remove my hand from his but he held my hand tight not letting go.

"What are you so scared of"?

He asked and I looked away from our joint hands and looked at him.

"I've never been on a plane before. It's a bit scary".

I saw him smile as he looked away. He was sitting by the window so at this time, he was looking outside it. Soon after, he turned to look at me with a little bit of warmth in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be holding your hand all through".

He said making my heart miss another beat. These days, it almost felt like I was beginning to develop a serious heart issue. I didn't understand why he always made my heart skip beats even though he didn't say anything out of the ordinary.

I smiled lightly at what he said and because of that, I felt a little more at ease before we finally took off.

I held Jason's hand throughout the journey and at some point, I even dozed off.

When we finally arrived at the airport, there were people there to help us get to our destination. Jason had to go see some people so he left me behind and went ahead to say hello to them leaving just me and Kay behind.

"Seems you didn't sleep at all last night".

I heard him say. Although I was way older than him, he was almost my height so I didn't have to bend at all before seeing him.

"What do you mean by that"?

"Judging from all the dark circles under your eyes which you have tried to conceal, I can yell that you didn't get a glimpse of sleep last night".

'Dang, how did he find out'?

I thought to myself as I looked away with my eyes closed tight.

"I got you, didn't I"?

He asked as he pointed at me but I pushed his hand away.

"What do you mean? I slept like a baby!!"

I said trying to prove a point. Even an idiot could tell that I was lying so I knew that he could tell that it was obviously a lie. Kay kept looking at me for a few minutes before he finally spoke.

"Okay".

He said as he began walking away. I looked at him walk towards his dad and then, I just felt some sort of disappointment in myself.

"Damn it, why do I feel like he actually won"?

I asked myself feeling defeated. I didn't have the time to console myself so I just walked towards them as well. Someone had already taken our luggage to the car so I didn't have to worry about my bags.

I entered the car last and when I did, I noticed Kay was now sitting behind with his dad. My head was already in the car but as soon as I saw both of them, I began to retreat.

"Where are you going"?

Jason asked.

"Huh"?

I asked with my eyes popping out.

"Sit with us, Aunty Nadia. Wouldn't it be nice if all three of us sat together"?

I heard Kay speak and though I didn't know what he was plotting, I knew it would make me look terrible if I refused. I looked at Jason and all of his attention was on his son.

I could tell that he was very impressed by his son's suggestions.

I sat in the car with Kay in the middle and his dad on the other side. Kay was looking at funny videos on his phone and once in a while, I'd peak to see what it was about.

I was feeling really sleepy so I decided to close my eyes a little.

Nadia closed her eyes for a quick nap and without knowing, she placed her head on Kay's shoulder.
