Chapter 26: Chapter Twenty-Six
Jason
I had evaded every work call, especially because it's Saturday and I'm meeting Olivia's family, but being a CEO I have no rest. The negotiations with the Russians were not going well at all and they wanted to pull out because they said I don't take them serious. They wanted me in person, to show them my commitment as Lewis said.
It wasn't necessary for me to take Olivia with me but I didn't like how her brother tried to insinuate that I'd marry her because she was pregnant, which if I'm being honest would be reason enough, but only her. I wanted to marry her because I loved her, I didn't have any ulterior reasons. And like I told her before, I will protect her, even if it's from her own family.
"Lewis is having problems locking the deal with the Russians and I have to leave immediately. Julia will handle things here while you help me abroad. I've sent her a message to get Michael to get the plane ready, but we have to get packed and be on air in an hour to get there in the morning." I say looking her in the eyes in a low voice.
These people might be her family and she trusts them, but I didn't know them well enough to discuss sensitive business infront of them. Although I just mentioned where we're going and not any specifics, a lot of my private business is very private and could be dangerous if it got out especially this business with the Russians. Business with the Bratva is dangerous. I don't know if it's safe to go with Liv but right now my mind is on protection mode.
"Ok, then what are we waiting for? Let's leave. Mom, I will call you when I get the chance." She tells her mother.
She walk towards the cute little girl and kisses her cheek, tells her brother Kyle that she call him and waves at Landon. I also bid her family good-bye and we leave. I can tell the comment her brother made is not sitting well with her. When we get outside the house, I stop her just to reassure her and kiss her because it feels like too long since I've done that.
"Whatever your brother was insinuating is wrong. I want to marry you because I'm in love with you. Don't think otherwise, ok?" I say to her.
Now, I didn't want to tell her I loved her this way, but there's nothing to be done about that now. I've said it and I don't regret it. I only regret the fact that it wasn't as romantic as I wanted it all to be. But by the look in her eyes, I'd bet she doesn't care about the setting or how I said it. I'm glad at least one of us is happy with the results though.
"You're in love with me?" She asks me like she is not sure. But I'm not surprised. I'm reminded that is only been a week since we got together.
"Very very much. But I get to have a lifetime proving it to you, because baby I will marry you, come hell or high water." I say finally and pull and lips to mine and kiss her, right infront of her childhood home and I don't give a fuck who's watching.
"Well I like you too." She says after breaking off our kiss and I laugh out loud. I know she feels it too, this freight train of feelings we have for each other.
I pull her towards the waiting car and we're off to our apartment. We get there fifteen minutes later, with Rudy driving like a crazy man and we pack a bag together and leave. On the way back here, Julia sent me a message telling me Michael was getting the plane ready. Unlike the ride to the penthouse, the ride to the airport is slow because traffic has picked up. We get to the airport forty-five minutes later, but were riding in a private plane so its no big deal.
When we board the plane, I introduce Olivia as my fiance, which had turned her face pink in blush, a colour she only has when I'm inside her. When she is well fucked, I'm glad this trip came, because now she's about to join the mile high club.
"Why did you introduce me as your fiance back there?" She asks after were buckled in and the plane is almost taking off.
I'd told Rudy to inform the pilot to get going immediately, no waiting, I wanted to get to Russia in time to get over this business. The air hostess was also informed, so after we boarded she didn't come out to offer refreshments and snacks. She'd do it after we're up in air, it wasn't the first time anyway.
Most people were afraid of flying, I didn't know what to expect of her for when the plane started moving. She was very calm, she wasn't scared or nervous, she was speaking so normally and even laughing.
After we got up in the air, she asked me for a tour of the craft and I was glad to give it to her. The plane was big, it could fit a fifty people and also had two bedrooms and a boardroom. She was impressed if I could say so. We christened the bedroom, I mean obviously we did, and I told her the golden words after we were done. "Welcome to the mile high club baby." I said to her as I cuddled her from behind.
I held her while she slept and then after a while I got up to go take a call with Lewis to get an update on what I was going on. I hate it the fact that it's Saturday and I was working, or more like I was making Olivia work especially after the doctor told her to take it easy. As much as it's true that I took her because I was protecting her I really am going to need a secretary for business when we get to Russia.
But the fact that I'm actually going with her makes me happy and this last minute trip bearable. I'm hoping to get business done fast so that I can take her around the beautiful city of Russia. And that this will be the first of many trips to come that we will be together. And maybe by the time we head back home, I will have convinced her to put my ring on her finger. Maybe the good doctor would also call with some good news of us expecting. That would be the top of the cake for me.
