Chapter 14

Hestia's POV

I woke up to the ringing of my alarm. Turning it off I pushed the covers off me and walked groggily to the bathroom.

Wait..it's Monday which means I'm off with Athy to Delta.

Smiling I turned the hot water heater and jumped right in.I shampooed my hair and rinsed myself. I then got out and wrapped a towel around me then brushed my teeth.

Staring at my reflection I caught my lips quirked up in a small content smile. I know it's just a business trip but Athy's presence is just overwhelming for me. Her smile,her laugh,her eyes....it's just too adorable.

"Look who's talking"I heard Laylani snicker.

"Not now you idiot,am just happy I'm in her good books now"I said rolling my eyes.

I'm just happy she's no longer grumpy and doesn't have an attitude towards me.

Actually towards everyone,even the other employees hace noticed too.

I'm glad to be a part of her happiness. Getting out of the bathroom I put on my not so tight not so short black skirt,a button up shirt and a blazer on.

Spraying a little perfume I checked myself on the dressing mirror. Being satisfied I took my little suitcase I had packed a few clothes and some essentials and walked downstairs.

Athena had asked her driver to come pick up and take me to the airport saying she'd meet me there. Ain't she just amazing?

I took an apple from the kitchen counter and locked my door. I found his driver all parked.

"Good morning Miss Hernandez, I'll be escorting you to the airport,"he said lowering his eyes.

"Oh please don't do that sir and call me Hestia,miss makes me feel a little old."I chuckled lightly.

He chuckled along,"Alright Hestia call me Christian or Chris is fine."

"Well good morning Chris now shall we,"I said getting inside while he put my suitcase in the backseat.

Getting in he drove us to the airport within twenty minutes we had already arrived. Getting off I rolled my suitcase behind me as he showed me to Athena's hanger.

Apparently we'll be taking her private jet. Rich people huh!. I scoffed at the thought.

"Here we are Hestia,"I turned to Chris as he pointed the jet.

"Is..is that Athena's?" I asked my jaw hanging.

It was so gorgeous,it had two initials on the sides A+H,what does that even mean?Athena + Hestia? I thought and laughed at myself.

Yeah like that is even possible dumb dumb I snickered.

It was amazing nonetheless,had a golden like exterior.

"Go ahead Hestia,Athena will be over in a few,"Chris said going back to the car.

"Bye Chris,"I said heading to the jet.

Getting inside her jet I was left shocked with how it was designed.

Four huge seats with the same intials were placed facing each other in a little circle. The leathery seats were plain white and looked so comfortable.

Deciding to test my theory,I placed my suitcase on the floor and laid my back against the seat. Oh boy this is so comfortable.I thought as I slide against it.

"Looks like someone already got comfortable without me,"I stood up quickly when I heard Athena's deep voice.

She laughed at me while I held my head down too embarrassed.

"Don't stop now Esty, go ahead with what you were doing,"she said still laughing.

"I was only testing the comfiness" I mumbled

She laughed even more and took a seat opposite me.

Getting over my embarrassed moment I said,"Good morning Athy

"Good morning Esty,"Athy said smiling.

"Liam,come get these luggages,"Athy called out and a tall built man came and picked up my suitcase and hers like they weighed nothing. I mean with all his muscles they probably felt like fluffy pillows.

"Why don't you sit Esty?"Athy said still smiling.

"Sure" I said sitting

"How was your weekend?Had fun with your friends?" She questioned

"Yes I did,but I had to chase them out so I could pack my things,"i said laughing

She laughed along. Oh sweet Zeus that laugh could melt hearts. I thought staring at her

"How was your weekend?"I asked her

"I played fortress and save the princess with my princess,"she said with a look in her face.

"Awww that's so cute"I cooed

She turned to face the other side and saw her cheeks were crimson red.

Is she blushing?

"Is someone blushing"I teased.

"Oh you wish,"she smirked trying hard to hide her blush.

"You so are bl.."

"Good morning everyone,this is the Athena's Airlines,your pilot speaking,"a voice interrupted me.

"We'll be in Delta in seven hours so buckle up everyone we're taking off,the hostesses will cater to your demands if any. Enjoy your flight"

"Buckle up Esty,"Athy instructed as she reached for her seatbelt.

Having buckled up I leaned back in the seat.

"You can sleep if you want,I know I asked you to wake up early,when we get there I'll wake you up" Athy said

I really needed some sleep."Sure ...thank you

Athy"I said already closing my eyes.

"Wake up Esty we're here,"I felt someone nugging me.

"Just give me five more minutes Jay,"I groggily said turning away from the voice.

"Come on am not Jay Esty wake up we're already here, we'll be late"the voice said.

Squinting my eyes open I caught Athy staring at me. Our faces were do close I could feel her hit breath in my face. My heat started racing,it always does when she's close to me and this is the closest she has ever been.

It's like she could feel my heartbeat from where she was because she chuckled, unbuckled me and stool up pulling me with her in the process.

Since I was only waking up I wasn't strong enough and ended up falling in her arms.

She caught me before I slipped and fell and stared at me intensely. I watched her hazel eyes flicker between my eyes and my lips.

For a second I thought she was leaning in to kiss me but she only straightened me up and took her suitcase asking me to follow suit.

I still had to clutch the edges of the seat to steady myself.

Picking my suitcase I rolled it over to get off the jet.

What was that back there? Did I imagine it or was she almost kissing me?

We were so close I could feel her minty breath fanning me. Walking behind her I noticed she had on black suit pants like every other day but she always rocks them.

My heart was still racing and I was still in her trance until I heard her speak.

"Esty we gotta hurry,we have a meeting to attend but first we have to get to the hotel and put our things"

It was only then I took a minute to stare at Delta. It's a beautiful country, considering they mostly experience warm weather,not hot or cold,just warm like the Tropicals without the rain that is.

Strolling behind her we got into a black Rolex and handed our luggages to a stout short man.

After an hour or two we got to the Delta International Hotels. It was really beautiful and spelled the Delta culture with the flowers hanging from the ceiling and the staircase.

Taking the keys to our room I realized Athy only took one key. Does that mean we'll be in the same room?

Me and her? All Alone in a room?

I could feel sweat forming on my forehead

Calm down Es it's just all for business nothing else.

I tried calming myself.

Takingthe elevator we went to the third floor room 313 and Athy opened it for us.

"Sorry I had to take a single room,it's spacious and I thought you wouldn't want to sleep all alone in a room" She said nervously.

"It's...it's fine..no problem" I said stuttering.

Great just great Es. I scolded mentally

"Uh...yeah..mmh..okay ..well we have a meeting to get to"she said

Why is she nervous?Well at least am not the only one.

"Right," I said placing my suitcase on the couch.

"Lead the way,"I said motioning for her.

She chuckled and we left the hotel room.
