Out of Nowhere, стр. 21
While they were getting dressed Jason walked up behind Vicky and pulled her into him for one more kiss “Come home with me tonight?”. Vicky wasn’t expecting that. She didn’t know what she expected but it wasn’t that. Vicky’s eyes were so transparent and he saw the surprise and doubt in them. He soldiered on “I don’t want to wake up in the morning and you’re not next to me. Pack a bag for you and Angel…or not. I can buy you whatever you need once we are in Atlanta. Just come home with me tonight”. After all the passion and love they’d just shared Vicky wanted that too. She had to take the chance. She gently kissed Jason on the lips and whispered “yes”.
Chapter 16
They were flying home on Jason’s private plane. He smiled looking at his new family, Vicky and Angel. Angel had never been on a plane before but she seemed to be a natural. The flight crew fell in love with her on the spot. She was such a lovable child he couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t love her immediately. Jason realized he was truly happy for the first time in a long time.
They arrived late at night to Jason’s home. It was pretty dark outside when they finally made it so Vicky didn’t really get a chance to see the opulence of the grounds and majesty of the house. She just knew it took a few minutes to get from the gate to the property. However, when they pulled up in front of the house she wasn’t prepared for how large it was. Vicky knew that Jason came from a lot of money but it wasn’t until the moment she saw his home that it really dawned on her that Jason was very very rich. It was obvious from Vicky’s reaction that she was thrown a little bit by it. She’d gone pale liked she had stopped breathing. He touched then held her hand “I hope you like my home in my hood”. That took a little of the tension out of Vicky’s face. She gazed into his eyes and hoped everything would be ok.
Jason helped both she and Angel out of the car. However, Vicky didn’t allow Jason to carry Angel inside. She held on tightly to her. Almost like a security blanket. She still had that deer in headlights look on her face. Once they went inside Jason introduced her to Willa the housekeeper/cook and Fred his butler/driver. They were very gracious and not surprised since Jason had called ahead to let them know that he’d be bringing home a guest and her daughter. Vicky was so self conscience. She noticed everything from Angel’s worn shoes to her worn coat. She couldn’t help but feel like she didn’t belong. Jason kissed her on the top of her head “I know it’s late and you’ve had a long day but are you hungry? Or, would you like a tour, or would you like to wait until morning?” Vicky was struggling to hold onto Angel since she’d been holding her too tightly since they arrived at the house. Her arms were starting to hurt. Of course, Jason noticed “You know I can take her? You’ve been holding her for awhile. Plus, I think she kind of likes me. You don’t have to do this on your own anymore. You have me now.” Jason kissed her lips. For a little while his kiss wiped away all of her doubts and fears. She
