Chapter 10 I will just throw this away
…
Janelle Pov.
My face beamed at the mention of *Paris.
Oh, I’ve always dream to go there and….
Oh, my God.
“Yes, yes!..”I squealed happily.
Ooh..
I can’t believe this.
I’m finally going to Paris?.
“Of course, dear. I’ll sleep here overnight.”she smiled.
I stood up from my seat and breathed out in excitement.
“What would you like to eat, ma’am?.”I asked.
“Oh, please, remove the *ma’am, it makes me feels old. You can just call me mom or better still, you can call me Beck.”she said.
“I’ll go with Mom.. so, what would you like to take, I mean, what do you feel like having at the moment.”
“Anything, dear, anything, as long as it’s coming from you.”
“Okay!, I will be right back, mom.”I said and rushed to her then pecked her on her both cheeks and walked – ran to the kitchen.
I rushed to the fridge and brought out the things I’ll be needing in preparing the mean.
Oh, I’m just so damn happy..
Paris?…
Ahhh…
Here I come Paris!.

# At night.
Mom and I are having a conversation when the door went ajar with George walking in.
His eyes moved to his mom and then to me then back to his mom.
“Hi.”I smiled.
He paused and threw me a kinda suspicious look.
“What are you doing here, mom?.”he finally asked.
“What do you mean, George by what I’m I doing here.”his mom rolled her eyes.
“Seeing you like this only means you’re up to no good, I know you.”he sighed.
“Oh,”she scoffed.
“Anyway, Janelle and I will be going to Paris tomorrow morning to get her a wedding dress and other things, you know.”she shrugged.
He moved his gaze to me and I nodded with a smile.
“Well, it’s okay if you’re okay with it.”he said walked away.
“Well….”his mom turned to me with a huge smile on her face.
“That went smoothly..”I completed.
“You’re a smart girl, Janelle, and, i like you for that.”she winked.
“Awnn, thanks, mom.”I blushed.
We chatted for a long time before she yawned and stood saying she have to go to bed.
We both left the living room and while she went up to her room and unluckily for me, her room is just beside George’s own so she had to watch me go in first before she moved to her’s.
I entered the room and met him on the bed with a laptop.
“Hey.”I said and he looked up at me from the laptop.
“Hey..”he cooed..
Okay, this awkward.
He concerntrated back on his laptop and I scoffed..
“Don’t worry, I will soon be leaving.. you can sleep here tonight while I move to another room..”he said without looking at me..
I nodded and went to sit down on the chair in front of desk.
I watched him as he typed away on the laptop and sighed.
The room went silent again and I tried to start a conversation.
“Your mom is nice,”I started.
“Yeah.., just like…”
“Unlike you.”I quickly added.
He gave me a quick glance and shrugged.
He suddenly grab the drug from earlier and pour out some on his palm.
He made to drop it in his mouth but I stopped him?.
Huh?, why do I stop him?..
Geez…
He raised his brows at me and I cleared my throat.
“You.. shouldn’t take that.. I mean, what’s the drug for.. i.. I…”I gibbered.
I dug my teeth hard on my lips and scolded myself inwardly.
Gosh!..
Why do I have to stutter like an idiot.
“It’s for my vision. My vision get blurry at times so I just have to use this for it clear.”he explained.
He downed the drugs and return the bottle back.
“And you still use that?.”I asked.
He turned to me with a befuddled face.
“Huh?.”he asked.
I sighed before standing up and walking to the table where he kept the drug.
“You will be making your issue more complicated if you still continued using this..”I said and took it.
“I will just throw this away.”I added and walked out.
# The next morning..
*Grrrrrrrr..*the blaring of the alarm woke me up.
I rolled on the bed and pouted..
I still want some sleep.
I began drifting back to sleep but my eyes snapped back on.
Six thirty am – the flight!!!…
Oh, no!.
I sprang up from the bed and saw George sitting on the chair and sipping quitely from his tea while operating his laptop.
“Gosh.. why didn’t you wake me.. now, we’re running late…”I scowled.
He raised up his head to look at me.
“I didn’t wake you up intentionally, you seem to be enjoying your sleep.”he replied.
Ugh!..
“Geez..”I scoffed.
“Your mom will be so mad at me.. how are we suppose to catch up with the flight now.”I rushed my words.
“Don’t worry, you guys will be going with my private jet.”he cooled.
Private jet?..
He looked up at me and raised his brows.
“Okay, did that made you uncomfortable?.. well, I can just book another flight.. i mean, I could easily do that.”he said, kind of nervous tho.
Hell no!.
“No no no, at all.. going with your private jet is going to be the best and…”
I stopped and stared at him weirdly.
Why is he smiling?..
“Oh, I’m sorry, but, you’re just an amusing lady… here you’re quiet and then there, you’re talking away.”he smiled.
“Okay, that isn’t a compliment.”I said while trying to hide my reddened face.
“Well, it isn’t..”he replied.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He shut his laptop closed and stood up.
“You should have your bath now.. we’re leaving in an hour time.”he said.
“What?, we?.”I asked.
“Yes, we..”he said adding a stress on the *we part.
“I’ll be going with you guys.. I happen to have a meeting there today also..”he added.
“Oh, alright.”I nodded before walking to the bathroom.
##
I walked back to the room and saw a white nylon on the bed.
I moved to it and picked it up.
I opened the nylon and saw a red gown inside..
Oh.
That was when it hits me.
I’d forgotten I have no dress to wear here but thankfully, George was thoughtful to get this for me.
I got dressed and went downstairs to the living room.
“Good morning, mom.”I greeted while going to the dining area.
“Hey, Janelle. How was your night?, hope you have a good night rest?..”she asked and I nodded.
“Yeah, thanks and yours?.”
“It was splendid.”she smiled.
I sat down on the chair and started eating.
It was bagel and lox.

# An hour later.
“Women are really unpredictable. Yesterday, your wife scolded me and now, she’s all smiling and acting nicely a nd..”George’s driver said as she drove us to the airport.
“Ren!.”George and his mom called at the same time, cutting him short on his words.
Beck sighed and rolled her eyes.
“You sure like yapping, now, will you keep shut and focus on the damn road.”she said angrily.
“Okay, ma’am. I’m really sorry..”he apologized.
The remaining drive to the airport was silent with no one saying anything.
We arrived at the airport and Ren smiled at us through the rear view mirror.
“Welcome to the airport, mademoiselle Janelle.”he said with a French accent.
“Yeah, thanks Ren.”I smiled and I saw George rolled his eyes.
We began walking to the jet and as we got nearer, the door opened and the stairs slide down.
An hostess appeared with a smile then bowed.
Wow.
We climbed the stairs up and i waved Ren a goodbye before the door shut back.
I turned around and my face brightened up in excitement with the sight in front of me.
Oh..
This is the first time I’ll be entering a jet and a private one at that..
This felt so good…
I went to sit by the window side and George came to sit on the seat next to me.
I fixed my seat belt and soon the aeroplane set to take off.
*Fix your seatbelt please.. we will be taking off in the next three seconds..”a voice said.
Two seconds… one second…
I began to shiver lightly as the aeroplane powered up..
George turned to me and asked,”what is it?.”
I shook my head and took a deep breath.
Calm down, Janelle.
“Are you scared?.”he asked again.
And then, he placed his hand gently on mine and the plane took off immediately.
