Crazy Stupid Love

Untitled

This has to be the longest working day of my life. I look at the time and it is just after nine in the evening. I was busy in my work that I did not even notice how late it was.

I closed my laptop, took the file and switched off the light in my office. My boss was still in her office, obviously working late as usual. I knocked softly on her door and let myself in before she answered.

"Boss lady it's a Friday! You should be home..." I said with a smile.

"So says a young hot lady like you, you should be partying up a storm in a club somewhere, at least I have an excuse, I’m married and I’m old..." She said with a smile as stretched out her hands.

"Well I will see you on Monday boss lady," I said as I walked out of her office.

I get to my car in the parking lot and I see the Mustang still parked. Kenny must be working late again. I open my car and get in. I take out my Smartphone and I see saw many missed calls. Some from mom. Some from April and some from an unsaved number .

There was also voice mail messages. I dialed my mail box and listened to the first message.

"Isabella I'm delaying the flight by an hour seeing that you're awol, call me as soon as you get this call, I’m probably the one with the numbers you don't recognize on your phone. "

It was Chris! Oh my GOD! The trip, I had totally forgotten about it. I was supposed to call him and cancel but I was so lost in my work I had totally forgotten about it. I quickly called back him back.

He answered it on the second ring. "My God Bella where are you? Why haven’t you been answering your phone, have you changed your mind about the trip?"

"Well this is why I’m calling, I don't think I can make it, my parents are in town and I was kind of looking forward to spending time with them seeing that my dad is going for an surgery tomorrow"

I didn’t know how he'd respond to that but it was the truth. I could not go even if I wanted to. "Plus I have a ton of work to do, which will probably take me the whole weekend to get through, I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, its been one of those busy days."

"Where are you now" I was not expecting that question from him.

"Still at the office" I answered quickly hoping that he would understand the nature of the workload I was carrying on my shoulders.

"I'm coming over there, don't move..."

“But it’s...late" He hung up before I could finish up my sentence. How this man just expect me to sit here and wait for him not knowing how long it will take him to get here. I was feeling a bit chilly so I switched on the radio and turned up the heat in my car.

A few moments later as I was listening to a song from Adele talking about melting her heart to stone when I heard a knock on my window. It was Chris. I rolled down the window.

"Come with me..." He said. I was confused but I did as I was told and followed him. He was looking very nice and different out off his suits. Not that he did not look good in suits because he did and then again.

With a body like that, he could pull off anything. Seeing him in a white Polo sweater and tan chinos with canvas sneakers. He looked very nice and stylish. I followed him and he stopped next to the Black SUV that was parked.

"Get in...” He said as he a young man opened the seat of the SUV Oh this man was so dominant! He just loved telling me what to do and see me obeying him.

I normally would not do as I am told but he had helped me and I was cancelling on out trip so I decided to let it slide just this one time. I slid into the car and he followed in.

"Is your car locked?" He asked me and I nodded. "Airport please Charlie..." he continued on to say.

What? Where? Did this man not hear what I had told him earlier on? The airport was the last place he should be taking me.

"Chris did you not just hear me? My parents, work? I cannot go away this weekend." I wanted him to know and understand that I could not go with him.

"Bella, I'm a man who's used to getting what he wants, if you don't give it to me, I take it, I'm a natural hunter and I’m always hungry, would you relax and try to enjoy this, I’ve got it babes..." He said with a smile.

Got it? Got what exactly? What was this man talking about? How does he expect me to relax when I have so much stuff to do? I mean I have told him so he should be more considerate and understanding, at least I expected that much from him.

I don't know what his plans where but I would not be kept in the dark about this whole thing and go along with something I didn’t know or understood. He cannot just pick me up and expect me to drop everything for him.

I mean if we where dating or in a relationship then I would have seen this as a romantic gesture but this was not a relationship of any sort. We hardly knew each other.

"You do know that kidnapping is a crime right..." I said trying and miserably failing to keep a mask on my face. This man was too beautiful to stay mad at. I tried to hide it.

"I should know, I’m a lawyer and it isn’t kidnapping when your parents agree to it..." He looked out the window and smiled "We're here..." he said

"My parents?" I was wondering what he talking about. I was just puzzled and confused.

'Yes, I’ll tell you about it in the plane, come, let’s go..." he said and climbed out of the car as the door open. I followed him of course.

We where on a landing strip on an airport.

He took out two documents and handed them to the pilot. I stood there and watched him as he spoke to the pilot. Moments later he came back.

"Come, we're already late, we where scheduled for take off an hour ago..." I followed him to the plane where we where greeted by a very nice and sexy blonde babe.

She introduced herself to me as she and Chris looked acquainted with each other. This was not my first time in a private jet.

My father had one so this was something I was used to. She offered us champagne and disappeared into the staff cabin.

"You don't seem too impressed by my plane, something wrong with it?" He said as he buckled his seat belt.

"No the plane is fine..."

"But..." he glazed into my eyes.

"But nothing, it's a nice plane..." I took a sip of my champagne. Crystal I believe it was. Again, this was not new to me. We drank this every night at the dinner table when I was still back home.

"Is it the champagne then?" he asked

"No, the champagne is fine" I took another sip to reassure him.

"Then what is it Bella?” The speakers went on and the pilot announced the take off.

"You" I answered him trying to keep head intact as I feel the movement of the plane. I did have a phobia of flying; Planes just did not make sense to me.

"Me?' he sounded surprised to hear me say that "What have I done?" he continued on to say

"Let's see, now where do I start? Okay ill start when you bullied me into going on this trip with you..."My blood was beginning to boil.

"Bully? oh no Isabella, I didn’t bully you into doing anything honey, you and I had a deal sweedy, my help in order to go away with me, I’m just sticking to my end of the bargain."

He said with a chuffed smile, looking very pleased with himself.

"You know what I mean, what's the deal with my parents? How did they agree to this? especially my mom who has been dying to see me for months, I mean she could not just let a stranger no matter how beautiful he is take away her daughter on a secluded island where she could be eaten by sharks"

My mom would never allow this. My father agrees with everything my mother tells him.

"There are no Sharks in the Cancun and I kind of twisted the truth a bit, I said I was your boss, which I didn’t lie about, I also said that it was a business trip which was the only thing if lied about..." He said with a smile.

"And where did you see my parents?" this was just all too interesting

"Your house of course" he said with a smile

"MY house?" was this man being for real? How would he know where I live?” How do you know where I live?"

"Semantics my dear lady, I told you that I always get what I want..." now he was sounding cocky and perky as if he had achieved a milestone.

"Let me get this straight, So you somehow get me to agree to this ridiculous idea of going away with you for the whole weekend, you find my house and you somehow twist my roommate arm into giving you my passport, you lied to my parents and the came to get me???"

"Yes that's pretty much it, don’t over think things, just relax and try to have an open mind about this."
