CHAPTER FORTY ONE: Drop the idea

Jack's Pov

Han stare at me before muttering.

" Not while I'm alive as well "

He watched me check my wristwatch.

" I'm running late already " i said.

" Can't you take your private jet? I heard you have one "

I shook my head slowly " I don't want to stand out " i told him smiling. " I will be on my way now "

" Okay then "

I stop halfway and face him " please protect Maureen and Jill, i know they can be stubborn at times "

He smiled " i will, if anything comes up i will surely give you a call "

I shrug " i won't be with my cellphone all the time but nevertheless you will see me on TV " i walk out to my car.

I breath out shakily, it's cold.

I stare at my house for a long while before driving off.

I will be away for more than eight days.

I just pray the Mikes won't do anything stupid before i got back.

I smile to myself when i remember the news.

Oh goodness! I'm sure they must be up to something.

I know i could trust Han, Logan and his two men but i couldn't help but get nervous.

Jill's thought filled my mind and i gripped the wheel tightly.

I have made up my mind to stay away from her.

I pray the surgery went well, when i got back from this trip i will surely devoted myself to mayors creation.

I know my company needs me at time like this but I'm sure Donald will keep it safe till I'm back.

Oh donald ! The thought hit me.

I didn't inform him about my trip.

Oh shit! I swore softly, i will give him a call when i can.

I pray he doesn't do anything stupid either.

I finally arrived at the airport, i saw Mel with couples of swimmers speaking.

They are getting ready.

" Jack " i heard my name from behind me. I turned to see Jane michealson.

I stiffled. What is he doing here?

I asked myself in silent.

I Saw Mel at the corner of my eyes coming to me.

" Jack, goodness i have no idea you will show up. " He said totally surprised.

I smile inwardly " you set the schedule and i follow, is that a crime? "

" No , no, not at all. " He said laughing. He turn to see Jane as well " oh Miss Jane " he called smiling.

I watch his face and i realized he wasn't surprised.

" What's she doing here? " I asked him faintly.

" Oh i forgot to tell you that she is going on this trip with us " Mel replied me in a hush tone.

I roll my eyes " she isn't a Coach or swimmer for goodness sake Mel " i told him silently gritting my teeth.

Mel saw me getting angry, he quickly laugh loudly " come on board before ten minutes. The flight will pick up at that time " he walk away hurriedly.

I took a deep breath grabbing my traveller's bag to walk away.

Jane quickly held my arm and i stop walking. I hang my head trying hard not to flare up.

I'm frustrated already, things isn't going well for me this days.

My sister showing up unexpectedly and i got myself crazily in love with Claw foot club model who was in the hospital because of my stupidity.

" Jack i arrange for you and i to take my father's private jet. I'm sure you will like it " she told me in a small voice.

I scoff slightly at her words.

" I would like what? " I asked her when i turn to look at her face. " In case you miss the good point i have one as well, and I'm sure it's forty percent more expensive than your father's. I choose to take this flight with my fellow swimmers and my manager because i don't want to show off " i step back breaking our physical contact " does that explanation makes you feel better Miss jane? " I asked searching her face " oh whatever, like i care " i said with an hint of sarcasm.

I walk away from her pity self, if she thought she is going to win me Back by this act of hers she would eventually failed besides this trip is strictly for business.

I never engaged myself in what would be meaning less to me.

My cellphone rang and I pick it.

" Hi Donald, isn't it too early to call your boss? " I said smiling.

" Don't give me that, you didn't tell me about your trip. I just heard it from the news right now "

I roll my eyes. What's going on with TV news today.

First it was the Mikes news and now my news.

" I'm sorry, the schedule was changed last night right after you left. I will be back before next week "

" You better be, thanks for the workload anyway "

" You are welcome " i replied laughing. I hang up then and gaze ahead.

Yes! Workload must await you at the office today.

I saw Mel walking hastily towards me and i cross my hands wondering what is it this time.

" Mr michealson just call, he said you should get on his private jet with his daughter "

" Forget it, I won't " i said walking away.

" He is your boss for goodness sake jack "

I halted before turning to stare at Mel sternly my temper reaching it's limit.

" Do i look like i care? If i want to ride in a private jet i would have took my own so please ... "

" Well no sit for you either here and it's getting late "

" No way, you don't mean it right ? " I asked him in surprise.

I know this is only a way to get me into that jet with Jane.

I clenched my jaw.

" Once we arrive at our destination i will surely kill you " i said gritting my teeth as i made to the direction of the jet.

Twenty minutes later i was seated with jane on our way.

" Jack do you remember the first time we ride together in this jet? " I heard her asked me slowly after many minutes of awkward silence.

I shut my eyes as the memories of that day engulfed me.

We have been the only one in the jet that day on our way to her father's anniversary.

We have made series of love with a lot of kisses.

It's a wonder she never get pregnant at our lustful acts.

I open the book i was holding , pretending to be interested in it.

I stare at the pictures of the models there and i flinched when i saw Jill's picture.

I smile absently Tracing her face with my thumb.

Jane must have noticed this because she lean over to get a better look at the picture.

I heard her snort.

" Who is she? You know her ? " She asked.

I turn to her smiling " sure, who wouldn't know Jillian Don "

She gasp " oh , the model from Claw foot club? "

I nodded " Yes " i smile looking away.

" But what is so funny about her ? "

" No , i just remembered the way she made me feel in bed "

I heard her exhaled sharply in great shock. I turn to see her eyes Burns with jealousy.

Great! Just what i wanted.

" You don't mean to tell me you are involved with her in any way "

" I am, actually she is the real reason I'm taking up this contest in the first place "

Her mouth flopped open im surprise , i smile gently.

" You are kidding, i know vividly well that you didn't get involved with any lady since you broke up with me "

" Yes but now I'm in love with Jill so i think you should drop any ideas of us getting back together "

I told her gently before continue staring at Jill's picture.
