The choice to love

Queen

When I opened my eyes I was in a room it was snow white I was lying on a bed a very relaxing bed covered in a cozy puffy white comforter .

I was in a pink silky night dress . Where am I ? I wondered . Last thing I recall I was walking home on the highway , wait there was screeching brake sounds ,darting my eyes around ,there is no way this place is a hospital, there are no medical equipments ,doctors or nurses.

Suddenly someone walked into the room, he was so fine looking , he had perfectly arranged set of abs , Samoan tattoos on his chest he had a towel on his waist . His body was wet he was drying his hair and face so I couldnt see his face . In the background Rihanna's umberella is playing . Am I dead? Who wakes up in a white expensive looking room with an attractive guy in a towel probably some fantasy in a porno intro . I touched my chest to be sure there are no holes or stabs . The hot guy is facing the other side he stopped drying his hair and turned around .

Jacob's dad! My eyes widen in astound . How ? I left them at the airport . When did he even get here?

" thank goodness you are awake love " he said love that name sent bubbles of joy down my spine ,his English accent supplementing stage tone of the word.I should not get ahead of myself maybe it's just a term British folks use to sound kind of be kind .

"How did you get here ? ...I thought I left both of you at the airport ." I said .

"I flew here for some work assignment love , I saw you walk and drop down , you were nearly hit by an incoming car ."he said . As much as I would love to listen to what he's saying I really can't concentrate as my eyes are struck by his beauty all I heard was "love " his adam's apple moved up and down ,his blue eyes looking straight at me . This man is just wow.

"Thank you sir "I said to atleast show him I was listening . He is draining my self control . Then it dawns on me am in another outfit not what I wore before well I think I should have realized that before but silly me ,lost in fangirling my best friend's dad.

"Did you happen change me?"I asked

"Yes I did "he said . What?

" did we um.. "I asked

I could have been drunk and we may have had a devil's tango I might not have remembered .

I asked fo be sure, I am still a virgin I wouldn't want to loose it in some random drunk night. I want it to be special like how I used to see in soap operas ,where the girl gives her virginity to the man she is inlove with in a special way .

"No we didn't , your clothes were filthy from tar ,when you dropped on the road it was still freshly tarmaced . "He said . I felt so coy .

"It's nothing to worry about love tarmac is a discomfort to attires ,but it came off on the clothes after a few spins but they are not yet dry ."he said . So let me get this straight my best friend's dad rescued me , took me to his suite changed me and is looking back at me tell me am not day dreaming I needed to say that so I can let it sink in deeply into my system.

"Thank you for everything sir"I said .

"Please call me Micheal "he said

"thank you Micheal" I said .

" it's my pleasure to be if assistance to you Queen " he said

. I got up and excused myself to the bathroom as well as to give him some private time to change .

After visiting the bathroom I headed to the kitchen to have something to eat I was starving . The massive fridge had some apple juice , I drank with the chocolate cookies at the glass thing display , rich people and food displays, goodness ! There's people that are dying .

I come back to the masterbedroom . Micheal is fully dressed in a black suit with no tie he looked crisp clean .

He just never aged not one bit he looks like he showers in youth water . His cologne was breathtaking , cool breeze and black mint .

"Would you like me to get you anything?"he asked .

"Some clothes would do "I said .

"Sure love "he said .

"Where are you heading to?"I asked .

" to sort out some work related duties , I won't be long "he said .

*******************

I watched his car drive out of the building . A few minutes later the door bell rang , when I opened the door ,before me stood gentleman with chanel and loubouttini bags .

" for Miss Katara "he said . I sighed on the delivery notice .

I took the bags and closed the door very excited to see what is inside those bags . I opened the bags taking out the contents very dumbfounded at its contents . Very expensive floral dress my favorite , some sandal heels bras and undies from Victoria secret . This are so expensive something I wouldn't have afford in my life . I sniffed the dresses they smell like luxury . I laughed like a mad hyena just staring at the wonderful display of luxurious clothes ,clothes I only saw celebrities wear and I wouldn't even afford the thrifty version one and now they are staring right at me .My lucky day .

I took a shower and changed into a purple floral dress , black sandal heels and my wavy long hair tied in a neat high pony tail.

I headed to pick my mom's death certificate from the morgue she was cremated at,it was hard for me to look through the contents of the details in the certificate. I had to so they could confirm if everything was alright. It wasn't easy ,no one wants to hold a mere certificate that holds the details on your loved ones passing , something I wouldn't wish on even my worst enemy .I still have some little cash with me to board a taxi . I wrote a note to let Micheal know I have left and thank him for everything since his phone went to voicemail.

Her death certificate made me feel sorrowful that she's gone for good. That the reality had to sink in my mom is no more .

Before the Euthanasia , I had a brief talk with the hospital counsellor, the talk was to simply get me psychologically ready to face the process to having let go of my mom so she can finally find come peace. So I couldn't feel guilty that it's all my fault but to accept that it's the right thing to do .

It really helped ,the self blame hasn't affected me that much and in my heart I know my mom has found peace ,she's in heaven welcomed by my dad as they share a wonderful meal together.

I headed to my tiny apartment hoping the landlord hasn't locked my door . Talk of the devil , I meet him immediately I entered the gate. He looked at me and smiled ... strange .

"Lovely day"he said . Very unusual , he never wishes me a lovely day , he's always quarreling me to pay the rent thinking I am a millionaire , yet I pay for my own maintenance from my pocket . I walked into my apartment and found several reciepts on my doorstep . All my rent arrears have been paid ! My phone buzzes it's an email from the hospital , am scared to open it as I know its about the bills , thinking about them gives me shivers and fear . I took a deep breath and opened the email it appears I have cleared the bills ! My balance at the hospital is zero! But... How ? Or who? Maybe a well wisher. I was planning on starting a fundraiser on maybe a GoFundMe or on social media to help me settle for my mom's medical bills in the hospital.

I owed them a lot of money ,I am thankful they did their best to take care of her regardless of unpaid bills for he stay.

I got a call from work .

"Evening Miss Queen , this is to inform you that you have been transferred permanently "Jason my boss said .

"Evening to you too Jason , why am I being transferred and where to?"I asked just when I was about to celebrate my upgrade to business class .

" you will be on another committment . I will send you all the details about your new engagement , it seems someone bought you . It was great pleasure working with you Queen ."Jason said.

"Thank you Jason "I said ending the call . He sent me a text with details about my new job I realised it's not just any plane but a private jet ,I have been dreaming about business class but private planes that's very big ,I can't get around it. That's like every flight attendants dream .

The jet will be leaving at six to London , my new boss must be a billionaire, politician or someone very influential, it's very costly to buy any of the cabin crew even just one and by far if it's a flight attendant the pay is seven times my pay with my former job .

There is a knock on my door , it's a package for me . I ripped it open . Wow! My new uniform ! Its a black slightly tight with a short sleeve and a cape , the dress was slightly above my knees with a logo M.S , and very comfortable .The dress had golden buttons in my shoulder granting me that superior flight attendant feel.

I need to inform Micheal am heading to work at six , I don't even have his number I will need to head to his suite just to let him know I won't be in the country in the next one hour thirty minutes so he doesn"t wonder why I vanished suddenly .

I had an hour to get ready for my new job . I changed into my new uniform after taking a shower , some little makeup on my face with some cherry lipgloss.My long coal black silky hair in a low ponytail so that my new cap fits I finished the look with my black stillettoes I bought from downtown at a discount price while I was in Newyork . I looked at myself in the mirror and can't believe its me .The shoes may be thrifted but they did a wonderful job making me look elegant.

*******************

I took a deep breath and knocked on his door. He opened it .

He looked at me from head to toe sucking every inch of my body with his eyes .

"Come in please"he said . I entered his suite .

"I came to thank you for being there for me , am heading to work sadly I won't be in the country "I said , he smiled at me his dimple deepened . I feel so anxious around him.

"There is nothing to thank for Queen"he said . I looked at my wrist watch ,s**t! I have fifteen minutes to be at the airport.

Then I did something never imagined I could do . I plant a soft kiss on his lips and walked out no tongues ,it was more like a gentle peck on his lips but his taste was glued into my mind , a taste of blackcurrant and tenderness . Did I just kiss my bestfriend's dad ? Not really it was just a peck on the lips but still .I kissed him.

I boarded a taxi to the airport and arrived just in time .

Inside the plane was worth to die for . Cream leather seats an AC , wine and spirits cabinet this was like a home of its own . I went into the kitchen as I heard the pilot say the boss is already at the airport.

The plane doesn't take long before is exits the runway . I decided to make cocktail , I learnt a few tricks while I was on a flight to the Maldives , I used to make cocktails for a living before being discovered by Jason I was the best in town .

I didn't look at the person am serving the cocktail ,my mind is whether I did it perfectly , making sure the strong tropical color was visible the drink looked spicy and tasty as I used to make my cocktails back in the day , as I handed him the glass I made eye contact . It's Jacob's dad ,Micheal! He's my new boss!!
