FALLEN

CHAPTER 10 Our first stop on the press to was Manhattan, NY. We board the plane on a misty Sunday night. There was excitement in the air. I had never been on a tour before. I have never been to Europe before and I was a little anxious. It was about 2 a.m. when our plane departed. Vin would be doing a early morning radio interview as soon as we touched down. On the plane he was sitting directly across from me, he was tossing and turning. Of course you can’t get any real sleep on an airplane. I had 15 pages of questions in front of me so I knew I wouldn’t be getting to sleep for awhile. I was reviewing copy of questions that were to be asked during the interviews. Most were okay but some were just out of the question. I never really knew how nosy people could be. One TV station took questions from the viewers, off their web site. Knowing that they sorted through them, why did they let, What kind of underwear do you prefer? make it this far. I finished up and faxed it over 2 hours later. Vin was resting peacefully. I grabbed a blanket and covered him. Sat back in my seat and watched him for awhile. I started thinking about the first time we fell asleep together in my room that night. I can remember falling asleep next to him, on the sofa, my head resting in his lap. He carried my to my bed in thedle dle of the night. I was awake but I didn’t want to ruin it, it was sweet. He brushed my hair from my face and just watched my for awhile, before returning to the sofa. Just as I started to drift off to sleep, he started tossing and turning again. With all the moving he knocks his covers to the floor. Just like a little baby kicking out of his covers. I cover him again and as I return to my seat the head bodyguard team whispers for me to come over and sit. He was probably the only sta the the world to have a female directing his squad. Her name was Electra. She stared working with him about 6 months before me. She started her company two years ago with her sisters one Mia. The other they called Dragon, as in Enter The.... She had a black belt in martial arts. Mia takes care of the home front. Dragon and Electra handled all the grunt work. They were skilled in there craft and could take on the likes of any man. She had even taught me a thing or two, when I first started this job. She spoke softly so not to wake the others. "You take good care of him," she says. "That’s my job. Diesel’s slave," I say with a laugh. "I know there’s more to it then that." "Of course you do and I thank you for your discretion." "What I don’t know is why you two are not seeing you anymore." "He’s my boss." "So, what are you saying." "It didn’t work out, to many issues." "There are issues in every relationship." "It wasn’t my choice to stop seeing him. He’s doesn’t want to see me." "I know for a fact that he does." "Would this fact be because he told you" I ask digging for info. "Look at you digging," she says with a giggle. "Who, not me. I would never do a thing like that," I say laughing. "Just try to cut him some slack, when he does get himself together. Think about it, if you have a hard time figuring it out. It’s harder on him he’s a man. They can sometimes be a little slow but they always come around," she says with a smile. "I’ll keep my fingers crossed," I smile.
