Chapter 24
I remembered one of the pictures of her in her cheerleader outfit. She looked so young and perky in her short skirt. I couldn’t help but imagine her now in my bed, wearing that outfit. They would be so tight because her body has developed way to much to fit into them. The erotic image clouded my brain as I imagined her beneath me…
“That sounds cute but why did she slap you? I thought she was into you? She even kissed you once?” Mason’s voice brought me back to reality.
“That’s what’s driving me nuts!”
“She has mood swings. She needs to drop by for some diagnosis. Bring her anytime you can.” He joked.
“I will try. Right now I need to catch some zzz’s.”
“Yeah, tomorrow is a busy day.”
“Talk to you soon.”
“Bye.”
I hung up and turned of the bedside lamp, hoping to get some sleep tonight. I hadn’t gotten a proper one in weeks and I feel like I’m letting my body down.
Closing my eyes was a huge mistake because images of Sophia formed in my mind. I pictured her in the blue dress she wore today at dinner. She looked exquisite.
I tried to sleep but it never came. Only image after image of Sophia from the photo album flooded my mind. If I was going to lie down and be deprived of sleep, then I would rather do something more productive. I got up and went to my desk.
I brought out my laptop and began to work.

Sophia Parker
I was expecting Mr Wilson to show up early in the morning at the house to pick me up for the airport, but he didn’t show until 6 in the evening! He should have told me we would be flying at night, that way, I wouldn’t have had to rush this morning. I could have taken my sweet time.
Packing wasn’t an easy job. Last night, I threw all my clothes in the washer and dried them overnight, I arranged them into my box in the morning along with my shoes and other things.
I’m not really sure I have the appropriate clothes for Michigan, most of them are too casual. I don’t even have a suit, although I have one black dress that I can wear for an official purpose.
Right now I was wearing a grey summer dress with my black knee length boots, suitable for any weather.
We are about to take off and I’m sitting directly in front of Mr Wilson in his jet and as usual, he simply can’t keep his eyes off me. Part of my liked it but another part of my found it very disturbing.
“You look nice in that dress.” His compliment made me warm all over.
“Thank you.”
“Did you notice we have a new pilot.” He said to me.
“Really? I didn’t. What happened to Captain Williams?”
“He went to his home town in Ohio for his daughter’s wedding. The new guy is just temporary.”
“Aw, congratulations to him.”
Captain Williams was actually a nice person and I was really happy for him and his daughter. We seldom have conversations but when we do, he’s always so funny and witty. I like his sense of humour, he forces us to call him Captain because he’s one of the best pilots from Skymate. But he’s also gradually approaching 60 years so he may retire soon. Mr Wilson would have to look for someone to succeed him.
Im sure a number of things would have changed at the office when I return, and I can’t wait to start working again. I actually missed it.
“How was your break from the office?” He asked me after a few moments.
“It was okay, I guess. Spent most of it at the hospital. Everything’s fine now and I’m glad I’m back.”
“Good to know. I’m glad you’re back too. I couldn’t bear the thought of you not being around for another week.”
“Is that why you really came to Richmond? You really don’t need me in Michigan do you? You just came here to abduct me because you want me to come back. Congratulations, you’ve succeeded.” I said, wanting nothing more but to hit him.
“I do need you in Michigan, but honestly you’re right. I also need you with me. Even if I had to come down here to get you, at least I’m happy you’re here now.”
“How selfish of you! I was needed more in Richmond!”
“Are you sure about that? Because your mother seemed eager for you to come back with me. And this morning, she told me the reason why.” He said.
“I could have handled things perfectly fine. You didn’t need to steal me away from my parents!”
“I’m sorry Sophia. If this is not what you really want then I could take you back?”
He surprised me. Would he actually do that? I wasn’t really mad at him for taking me with him, I was just angry because of the anonymous picture I received. Seeing him kiss another woman right after I kissed him made me furious at him. He’s nothing but a skirt-chaser and he doesn’t deserve to be treated nicely.
“I can’t go back, my mother wants me to go with you. Plus its too late, we’re about to take off.”
“It’s not too late Sophia, I don’t want you to think of this as an abduction. I genuinely need you, I really do.”
“Whatever. I’m here now.” I folded my arms and looked out the window. Mr Wilson let out a deep breath and rubbed his head. I was really giving him a hard time but I don’t care. Next time he won’t go kissing other women them moment I let my guard down for him.
The pilot came in and told us to prepare for take off and wear our seat belts properly. He could have used the tunnel but perhaps he’s new and doesn’t know about it.
“How many hours is the flight?” I asked the pilot.
“About two hours ma’am.”
“Okay.” There was no point sleeping through the flight because it was a short one. I guess I’m stuck with Mr Wilson for two whole hours.
After take off, I sat silently, looking at the clouds. I felt Mr Wilson move. He stood up and reached into the overhead bin.
“I want to use this time to brief you of what would be happening at the meeting tomorrow.” He said while pulling out his flight bag.
He sat back down opposite me and opened his bag. I was surprised to see a Victoria Secret shopping back inside. What was he doing shopping at Victoria Secret?
I stifled my laugh but he noticed.
“In case you’re wondering. The VS bag isn’t for me. Its yours.” He handed it to me.
“Really?” I was surprised. “You got something for me?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.” I smiled so hard, my cheeks hurt. I couldn’t help it.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Maybe thats why he came later than I expected. He was out shopping. I opened the bag, trying to hide my excitement.
In it was the most fetching black two-piece I’ve ever seen! The top was a halter neck while the bottom had strings. I fell in love with it immediately.
“You got me a bikini?” As much as I really liked the two piece, I found Mr Wilson getting me intimates very weird. He could have just bought me a bottle of perfume, like he normally does.
“In case you would like to use the indoor pool at the hotel, we’ll be staying in Grand Rapids.”
“Really?!” I squealed. Grand Rapids was a beautiful city in Michigan. I couldn’t wait to be there!
I was suddenly happy I was going on a trip to Michigan. I had never been there before but Lily has and I remember her telling me it was a nice place. I should be feeling guilty for leaving my mum but it was her who spurred me on to leave in the first place.
“There’s one more thing in the bag.” He said.
I checked to find a little jewellery box. I didn’t know what was inside but I sure was nervous as hell!
