chapter 19

The way she bit her lip and closed her eyes when i grazed her weak spot in her core, the

way she tugged my hair, the way she came in my hand.

So beautiful.

She looked me in the eyes. I nearly lost her a moment ago, even though she said she didn't plan

to run away. I can't lose her, she was mine. I needed her in my arms. I thought i'd clear my head

if I stayed away from her. But no, i couldn't take the risk by leaving her. I didn't want to stay

away from her anymore, i wanted her next to me. She had to come with me.

"You're coming with me, tomorrow" I said firmly.

"What ? Where?"

"Bali"

As soon as we got to the airport, i grabbed her hand and ushered her to climb the stairs to my

jet. While Coster and two other guys took care of the luggage. The cabin crews surprised to see

Cassandra. Of course, i never had brought a girl before. She sat next to me with a book on her

lap.

"What are you reading ?" I smiled.

"Paulo Coelho. I hope you don't mind that I brought some of books from your library. In case

i'm bored when you work." She replied.

"No, the library is yours. And you can go sight-seeing or shopping while l'm working. With

Simon and Rick on your tail of course." She nodded.

"What are you working on in Bali ?"

"I have a resort project, we had a little trouble. So me as an investor, need to check it out."I

answered as i fasten her seatbelt.

She didn't reply but making the word 'O' with her mouth, i chuckled.

"I can finish the problem in three days proximately. The rest of the week i will take you visit the

locals or the small islands around Bali." I caressed her cheek.

I spent most of the flight by reading the papers and made some calls. I took a glance at her, she

looked bored but sat still trying so hard not to disturb me. How can i forgot about her and lost

in work ? I leaned towards her.

"You can go watch the tv if you're bored. The crew will bring meals in minutes." I pecked her

lips.

Okay. Do you want me to get you drink ?" I shook my head to her offer.

I was resting my chin on my fist when i heard her voice talking with the crews.

"Do you need a blanket, Ma'am ?" One of the stewardess asked.

"No, thank you. I'm good."

"You're so pretty. You must be special to him, because he never brought a girl before."A guy

crew chimed in, since when did i have a guy crew on my plane ?i shook my head distasteful.

She chuckled, "I'm Cassandra, nice to meet you guys"

They continued talking, she had a spell on her that made everyone loved her as soon as they

met her. I lost in the paper for the next hour untili realized the cabin was so quite. No people

talking, no tv sounds. I stood and went to the lounge, there she was. Sleeping peacefully with a

blanket on her. I knelt down and pushed the locks from her face. I positioned her in my chest

before lifted her. The crews watched us with awe. I gave thema nod then carried her to the

bedroom cabin. I lay her on bed and kissed her nose. She stirred a little and muttered

something in her sleep.

"Sshhhhh. Sleep, Doll." I whispered.

lay next to her, pulled her to me. I watched her sleep beautifuly. I didn't know how much i

kissed her and snuggled her hair when she slept. I couldn't lied to my self anymore, i was

insanely falling in love with her. I drifted to sleep with her in my arms.

There was a knock on the door and a young blonde crew came in.

"i''m sorry to interrupt, Sir. But the meals are served and we will be landing in an hour"

I nodded and she walked out. I didn't know that i was sleeping. I looked down at her. She was

still sleeping. l easily slept when i was with her. I kissed her temple and whispered in her ear.

"Cassandra, wake up" She stirred but refuse to open her eyes, instead snuggled closer to my

neck.

I chuckled. "Baby, we will be landing soon. You need to wake up."

She opened her eyes slightly and sat. She looked around scanning the room, tried to justify

where she was. Until her gaze met mine.

The meals are ready. You can freshen up in the bathroom." She nodded.

We landed on the airport and i led her to down the stairs. She took off her jacket and wore her

sunglasses. Her suit showed her beautiful shoulders. The heat fitted her, i was glad i took her

with me. We headed to the lobby and met Andrea. She was a bit surprised that i brought a

company. But smiled politely to Cassandra.

"i'm Andrea. Nice to meet you, Ma'am." She offered her hand.

"Hi, i'm Cassandra." She took her hand and smiled warmly.

The Andrea turned to me. "Everything has been settled, Sir. Your car is here."

She pointed to the grey silk car, i smiled to the Maserati that was parked in front

of me. She was good at her job, i needed to give her a raise.

"Good. Sync the schedule with Costrner" She nodded and stepped back.

opened the passenger door for Cassandra and raised my eyebrow because she didn't get in

immediately. She must be confused because we didn't take the driver.

I always drive by myself in Bali" I explained.

She got in the car and put a seatbelt on. I sat next to her and turned on the engine. I brought

her hand to my lips.

"Ready ?"l asked.

She answered me with smile and nodded.
