Chapter 27: Chapter Twenty-Seven

Olivia

I wake up alone in bed and in the cabin. I know we're still up high because I can hear the engines of the plane. I've flown before but it's been years. It was when I was in high school we had gone on a trip for science trip to see how planes and trains were made. Hence I applied to Jason's company, because when I researched how ships were made I was hooked. I've always thought it's a pity that I'm not a science geek because otherwise I would be working for a big company right now.

I dress in my previous clothes skipping a shower and walk out to the sitting area but find it empty. I sit down where we were sitting before and take out my phone from from my bag. I have several text messages, and without looking, I know one of them are from my brother Toby, and sure enough I find three from him, which are him apologising and explaining himself, I don't reply to them though. I have one from my mother wishing us a safe trip and saying we must finish lunch when we get back.

I also have one from Kyle apologising for Toby's behaviour and I know from the message that he gave him an earful. And then there's the one from Landon. He is very hard to please so I'm surprised by his message. "I like this one, hopefully he won't be a douche like Matt! Safe travels! XO" and I feel like I've won the world.

The flight attendant comes out then, probably from hearing me laugh. "I didn't get the chance to introduce myself earlier, my name is Charlotte and I will be serving you and Mr Osbourne. Can I get you anything? Something to eat or drink maybe?" She asks me with a big smile.

"Food, anything eatable, I don't have any allergies or preferences. And a glass of juice and water please." I say and watch her leave.

She is beautiful, I have to admit. I like that she was not snarky to me. I know for sure that some employees like to act jealous of their employers partners when it's th first time they meet them. But she was sweet to me. My eyes go back to my phone and I reply to Landon, then Kyle and my mother, telling them I'd call them when we arrive. Charlotte comes back then with sandwiches and water and juice like I'd asked. When I ask her where Jason is, she tells me he's at the boardroom.

I eat the sandwich which has tuna and mayo and the other tuna and avocado. I eat them having juice inbetween. As I'm eating Jason sits next to me and takes half of the bread I was eating. He pulls a table out to infront of him and puts his laptop on top of it. Then like he always does everytime, he pulls me in for a kiss. "Sleep well?" He asks me.

"Yes, thank you." I answer him then go back to eating as he does to his work. A few moments later Charlotte comes out carrying a tumbler with brown liquid and puts it infront of Jason and he thanks her without looking at her.

As she walks away, his phone rings and he puts on an eraser from his pocket and answers. Talking about a contract or whatever. As I finish eating, he pushes his laptop towards me and tells me to finish sending the email he was sending to Julia. He stands up then and Nd goes to the back, I watch him go then finish sending the email to her.

As I'm waiting for the email to go, I read through it and notice that it's about me, or more accurately the apartment I leased a few days back, apparently he wants to buy it and put it under my name. I can't rescind the email as it's already sent. Julia replies immediately saying she'd try to find who the building belongs to so and get a real estate agent involved. I don't know what to say or think. I don't even know what Julia thinks of me after reading the email. I am angry at Jason right now.

When I turn my head, I find him standing by the partition that separates the sitting area and the cabins. He is looking at me, and by the way he's looking at me, he expected me to read the email, I wonder what his intention was right then. It's like he is trying to keep me close to him. And then I remember his words from one morning when we were in bed after making love before going to work. "i don't know if I would ever let you go."

The way he is looking at me right now is the same way he looks at me when he's inside me, deeply and intense. I've wondered if he knows the intensity in his eyes when he looks at me, and now I have my answer, he knows. It's like he's obsessed, I don't know how to feel about that. I've never faced this much intensity, it's a bit scary but I've never felt safer. I know he'd never hurt me.

He finishes his call and walks towards me. My eyes follow him until he's sitting next to me. He's still looking at me and I wonder if he's waiting for me to speak first. But I keep quiet wondering if what he's going to say about the email.

"Are you going to ask me about the email?" He finally asks me and I shake my head no.

"Are you angry at me Olivia?" He asks me and I don't know how I feel so I tell him.

"I don't know if I'm angry, or if I should be angry at all." I answer him. He is still holding my gaze

"Don't be. Or if you do become angry talk to me about it at least and I will stop." He says to me.

"I do have one question though." I say to him.

"Ask me, I promise to answer." He says, ever so cool.

"Why do you want to buy it for me?"

"Because I'm a sick bastard who willing to give it all to you where you want me to or not." He answers without wavering.
