Chapter 217
John
Cat was basically breaking my hand slowly but surely but I wasn’t going to pull away I told her she could hold my hand so that is what I’m letting her do. But fuck what is going to happen when she’s in labor someday, I know I for one will not be holding her hand that day, maybe Nico or Enzo that hasn’t experience it yet. I was already thinking about children with her, am I being crazy here. Frank said she had this effect on a person. You want to protect her and give her anything and everything there is in the world but I’m only with her for less than a day and I’m already there, how? When she finished her tea, I helped her to lay down I got a blanket from the airhostess and made sure she is closed, I gave her a kiss on the forehead. “I’ll wake you up when we are close.” “Thanks John.” I was sitting looking outside the window until I could see she was asleep before I took my phone and looked at my e-mails. I know I told her no work but with everything that is going on in Chicago I need to stay in touch to find out where the police go next, there was a short e-mail from Enzo telling me they raided Frank’s work place. The poor fuckers they won’t find a thing close to Frank but okay so they found nothing at Enzo’s, nothing at me now nothing at Frank it’s only Nico to go. But there will also be nothing when is the police going to realize his sending them on a witch hunt? I emailed Nico asking him if he was ready because, come on, this is getting like predictable. All he sends me was “Yes” “Well then let the police continue on their witch hunt if they want to.
When the skyline of New York was getting clearer, I woke Cat, “Love wake up.” She opens her eyes slowly “Are we there yet?” “We are I don’t want you to miss the best part.” “Which is?”
“The New York skyline love look.” I helped her to get the chair in a sitting position again when she looked out the window the only word that came out of her mouth was “Wow” I don’t think there is a better reaction or a better word of the pure beauty of the New York skyline. You could see the Empire State building, the lights of Time Square and off course the Statue of liberty, the Brookline Bridge. Every time I come to this city it takes my breath away. Cat’s face was glued to the window as she was trying to make out all the buildings and sights. I asked the pilot to get permission to fly over all the major attractions we could even see Central Park with its autumn leaves that were falling to the ground. “This is …….” She stopped and said again “This is amazing John.” “Wait until I take you out in the helicopter.” She looked at me shocked “We are going on a helicopter ride?” “Yes, my love we are.” “Oh, wow thanks John.” “You don’t have to thank me yet love.” “I’m thanking you before I forget because this is just so awesome I’ve always wanted to come to New York.” “Well now you are here but we have to get ready for landing.” I said knowing my poor hand might really break this time. But I will give it to her none the less.
Cat
The skyline of New York was amazing I was so happy John wake me to see it, I wouldn’t wanted to miss it for anything in the world. When we prepared for the landing John gave me his hand it was still red and it was 2 hours later. “No, it’s okay John I already hurt your hand.” “Take my hand Cat it’s not so bad.” I took his hand but tried not to hold it so tight, the landing wasn’t that bad maybe I’m getting used to this flying thing. When we were on the ground I let go of his hand. “You, okay?” He asked. “Yes, maybe I’m getting use to this flying thing.” “Well, you need to get used to it because we will go on a lot of break aways.” “That sounds amazing.” “It will be.” When the plane came to a standstill Dario got up, got the bags and helped the flight attended open the door. John got up and gave me his hand again “My lady.” He said with a smile on his face. “Thank you, good Sir.” I said taking his hand laughing. We walked out of the plane I had to wrapped my jacket a bit tighter around me it was a bit colder here. A black SUV was waiting for us. Dario put everything in the back of the SUV while John helped me into the SUV.
As soon as the SUV started to move, I looked out the window I didn’t want to miss anything. John was smiling at me probably thinking I was silly or something but I wasn’t I was just appreciating this opportunity and didn’t want to miss a thing. In the distance I could see the skyline of New York or should I say Manhattan, I couldn’t wait to walk there to experience New York like a real New Yorker “Are we going to take the subway?” I asked John very excited. “I wasn’t planning to but it seems you want to.” “Off course I want to I want to experience everything a real New Yorker experience.” “Okay love then we can take the subway.” “Thank you, John.” “My pleasure love.” He said smiling at me. Clearly my mood was contagious if I look at the smile on his face. “You ready to see our penthouse.” “Oh yes please.” We had a lot of traffic as we got into the city especially when we were in the heart of Manhattan. We turned into Park Ave, now you don’t have to live in New York to know that Park Ave is the place to be but it also has the prices to go with it. I looked at him in shock “You have a place on Park Ave?” “Yes, and not any place but a penthouse?” I knew the guys where rich but fuck a penthouse in Park Ave that isn’t one or two million, we are speaking 100s of millions. But I’m going to hold my pose and pretend I’m use to this kind of money. So all I said was “That’s nice.”
