A vacation with the billionaire's son Chapter Twenty
Her hair was packed in a messy bun, as she stared back at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a big white sweatshirt with Los Angeles written across the chest level in black letters. She didn't like the way she felt, she was confused, and she felt out of track. Hadley had helped her arrange her stuff in her (their) small apartment. She felt grateful for the gift of a best friend. Hadley had tried arranging the room to fit both of them. It had been two days since she returned from Mareco.Hadley had taken a day off work so they could shop for groceries and stock the house. Despite Hadley's understanding, Serena couldn't let her pay for everything. She was aware she would be broke as hell before the next month, but the least she could do was help around with basic things.Hadley had left for work early enough so she was alone in the house. She had been on her laptop staring at blank documents and scrolling through the internet, searching for job opportunities.She didn't fe

"You're going to the airport to meet him?" Hadley dropped the shopping bag carelessly on the counter as she realized what she had heard Serena say.She blinked more than twice trying to process the information. Serena sat up on the bed and twitched her shoulders, "It's the least I can do for him. I feel like I owe him at least, he was nice to me throughout my stay there. Besides, the wristwatch looks pretty expensive. I don't think he's going to let go of it easily."Hadley squeezed her lips into a small pout, scrutinizing the situation. "I just hope he's not playing games with you."Serena thought of it again, but there was nothing to think about. A part of her wanted to see him again. And if this was her only chance of seeing him again, maybe she would steal one last kiss. God, she should have kissed him at the airport.She went to bed thinking of all the possible outcomes of her meeting with Jaxon. It took a lot before she could concentrate on all the work she had to do for her ap

It was day three of going to the airport to pass time. She wondered if there were other people like her there, who just came to watch and go. She had gotten teary a few times watching scenes of people kissing their family goodbye.Now she just smiled at the scenes and said, "oh well, that's life." A part of her believed she could meet Jaxon here one day and she would stroll to the arrival terminal and lurk around. She wondered if she came off as creepy. Was there anyone who had noticed her already? She didn't want to come off as a suspect for anything shady. Besides, she dressed decently, so she didn't think anyone would mistake her for a thief or the like.The spot where she sat the previous day was free, she made a mental note to sit there again since she loved the view it gave of the planes leaving the airport and she could still "aww" at a few goodbye scenes.She went to get a Coke and Cheetos from a mini-mart and got back to the spot where she planned on sitting. A bag pack was

She was sitting at the spot he took his bag from. She saw him before he reached her.He took off his cap and scratched his head as he stood above her. She looked up from her phone and dropped the soda can she had been sipping from."That's funny and cute." She smiled, the lights in the area made her milk-brown eyes glow, and it accentuated the highlights of her caramel-brown hair. She was the cute one."I know, I think I'm still one of those guys living the high school life in their heads." He said.Serena chuckled, " You want to sit?" She rubbed the small space on the metal chair."If you can share?" Melvin twitched his shoulders.She moved a bit for him to sit. Somehow, she'd assumed she'd feel currents, maybe sparks, or butterflies swarming her belly with the kind of proximity she now had with him. Their arms were brushing each other and she felt calm, cool, and collected, no butterflies, nothing to make her think she might erase any feelings she had for a partially non-existent J

It was early in the afternoon and Serena had just woken up from a nap. She stared into space with her eyes half-closed. She contemplated checking her mail or her social media messages. She grabbed her phone and decided to check her mail, but the floating notification on her lockscreen caught her attention. It was an Instagram notification; jax_sawyer followed you. She stared at the notification and grinded her teeth, then she swiped it off and dropped her phone on the bed. She stood up and made for the kitchen, then another thought came to her head. What if he sent a message?She retreated to the bed, but the growing persistent tough girl in her took her legs back to the kitchen counter. What could she do to keep herself busy? She looked round the kitchen and her eyes caught the food container Hadley had left the pancakes in. She put it in the microwave and counted the number of utensils in the kitchen while it warmed up. She got the pancakes out of the microwave after a few minut

"Hey" it was a masculine voice. It seemed distant with her mind so far away from her immediate surroundings, but it was familiar."Serena, Serena" a hand waved in front of her. She looked up to see Melvin standing in front of her.Her eyes darted sideways wondering if she was at the airport or something. Her eyebrows furrowed,why was he here? Seeing that she had been sitting at a bus stop, he must be on his way to the airport."Hey Melvin, what's up?" She gave him a wry smile."I'm good, running a few errands here and there," he moved his head sideways "here and there". She noticed he was holding a small box."You run delivery services too?" He wasn't wearing his T&M uniform though, he was wearing a yellow and white check short-sleeved button down shirt and brown cargo pants, so she wondered if her question was rude. Why did she always feel rude to him? He was just like every regular person that worked at a store and as long as they were happy with it, it wasn't disrespectful to ask

Hadley was at the restaurant, with her dark hair packed in a bun and a yellow apron with Creamhood written in red cursive letters did well to cover her legs that were clad in denim shorts, only stopping halfway down her calves.The side of the establishment that served as a restaurant had an outdoor scenery with wooden benches and tables. With each spot having a shade to protect the customers from the sunlight. The trees and plants around also added to the beautiful scenery.There were just about twelve tables which meant fewer customers at a time, but that was the point of it all. They wanted the customers to have a quiet place to eat, not a noisy dining room. The restaurant area wasn't busy at the moment. Only a table showed that someone just had a meal. They already left."Oh my!" Hadley's hands went to her mouth as she saw Serena with a guy in the restaurant. She suspected at once that he was Melvin. "You didn't tell me you were coming.""Hi Hadley!" Serena rolled her eyes at her,

There was no answer. They had their lunch silently and Frank left before they were done. Serena bit and licked and lips while looking at Hadley from the corner of her eyes. She had created a mess.She didn't expect Hadley to behave the way she did. She had even assumed she'd be a catalyst to whatever was going on between them."I feel bad, I acted stupidly today " Serena spoke to Melvin as they left Creamhood.Melvin sighed and nodded, "I kind of understand, but I wasn't expecting her to go silent, you weren't, right?" Serena nodded and heaved a deep breath. "You should just talk to her when you get home, I'm sure she's having a bad day already," said Melvin."With the mood we left her in, Mrs. Puckett would regret letting us have lunch." "Don't worry yourself too much, just don't blame her for anything. You'll talk to her when you get home. I'm sure she's a tough woman too. She'll make it through the day.""My ass might not make it till tomorrow. She's going to give me a cold shou

Serena managed to get through the event without feeling intimidated. Jaxon made sure he didn't leave her side for too long. He introduced her to his parents as his girlfriend, he was so proud of it.They had received her warmly, contrary to what she had expected. She was surprised to see his brother, he was calm, handsome and soft spoken. She had imagined him to be a viscous, stubborn, shorter man.He smiled at her when she put her hand forward for a handshake. It wasn't the best of smiles, but for someone who was in some sort of rivalry with his brother who happened to be her boyfriend, he gave her a warm reception.Jaxon's father was just as she imagined, like the clips from the news, he was funny, but he still had that wall around him, like he was a small god and unapproachable. He had complimented her dress and told her he'd heard of her wonders and he was happy to see her.His mother on the hand was the sweetest soul, she hugged her and was surprised to hear the college she gradu

He had seen her on the dress before but it didn't look as elegant as this, he wiped his face with a handkerchief to be sure he wasn't getting teary. She had curled her hair into magnificent waves that dropped to her shoulders.Her shoulders gleamed under the bright chandelier that hung on the ceilings of the stairs. She flashed her radiant smile at him, his heart melted again. She was wearing the emerald green version of the blue heart necklace which was paired with complementary earrings.It seemed like she was taking forever to come down the stairs. He resisted the urge to meet her where she was and lift her in his arms down the stairs.It felt like prom night again, but with someone he actually loved. She finally met him at the foot of the stairs and placed her manicured hands on his jacket and straightened the collar. They heard a gentle cough from behind and separated. Uncle Jeff came from the living room and handed her her coat. “I expect that you won't catch a cold with him,

“I'd like for us to have an official date, not just reconciling in the middle of a launch like this, it's so busy around here, but first I'd like to invite you to my inauguration party this weekend” Jaxon leaned in to whisper to Serena.Serena's eyes darted from left to right and she looked up at him. She didn't expect him to say that. “Inauguration party?” “Yes, you know, corporate stuff, I'm sorry it's going to be a lot bigger than this and all of that formal shit, but I'll be by your side. I want you by my side.”“I…I don't know, I'd love to…but,” she began but he hushed her before she made any excuse.“I'm desperate right now to be honest and I can go on my knees for you not to refuse me. Did I forget to tell you or has Hadley told you?”“Told me what?” Serena asked confused.Jaxon’s mood shifted to a more solemn one, “I heard you found out who your…real mum is.” Serena nodded and kept on paying attention to him, the information wasn't something to bother her again. “And she happ

Serena loved her experience in Florida, the person she had stayed with was the most hospitable person ever. She showed her around herself, she made sure she always had something to eat. She even waited for her at the airport during her arrival in Florida.She took her to the most exciting places, met new sane people. She fell in love with the most mundane things and she had a lot of fun.It was quite sad that everything had to come to an end but she was excited for what was coming. Hadley was going to launch her restaurant in the coming week so she left Florida during the weekend.Uncle Jeff and Aunt Mabel were so happy to see her. They had celebrated New Year without her. She immediately went to Hadley's house to see her, her brother and mum had come to Rhode Island for the launch too.Serena remembered when she used to crush on Hadley's brother. Hadley had been so against it, that they almost fought. He had more tattoos now and Serena already heard he had a girlfriend, so there was

“Serena, Hadley is here!” Mabel called Serena from the front door. Serena screamed with joy like she'd been for her since forever. She wore her indoor slippers and ran down the stairs.“Oh my God, Hadley,” she hugged her until they both fell on their knees and were lying on the floor of the front door. Mabel looked at the hilarious sight, it felt good to see them like this again. It was like they were sixteen and about to resume high school again.“Come on girls, you're making fools of yourselves in front of the neighbors.”“Hey, the neighbors,” Hadley jumped to her feet and gave Serena a helping hand, “is Gavin still around?” She grinned.Serena tapped he arm lightly, “all you know how to do is ask after your men, you wouldn't ask how I'm doing before you move into your men.” She joked.Serena carried Hadley's small travel bag inside the house. Hadley came behind her and shut the door. She took off her shoes at the small passageway just before she entered the living room. Mabel gave

Jaxon wondered why she demanded to meet him in person. She'd been trying to contact him for days and the assistant he assigned to her had been bugging him.He finally decided to spare some time for her. He arranged a meeting with her at a cafe close to his office. He made sure it was during busy hours when people would be around in case she wanted to try something funny.She had the effrontery to be late, he kept on checking his wristwatch for the time. He ordered coffee and sipped it bit by bit as he watched the people walking into the cafe through his shades.A few people still managed to recognize him, some of them pointed at him discreetly. It was amusing how he had turned from nobody to somebody and everyone wanted to identify with him. He didn't like having bodyguards around him, so he still had to deal with pushing some people off by himself.Anybody would rush at him, for business proposals, for food, money, assistance. He didn't know how to explain to them that he wasn't a wa

Serena chose to ignore her presence and sat down beside her Uncle who was seated alone at the breadth of the rectangular table. Aunt Mabel sat opposite her, next to him while Amora sat beside her sister. They were having fried turkey with rice and salad. Serena allowed Aunt Mabel to dish her food and she began eating. She expected them to say something about why this woman was with them. They didn't say anything until they finished eating.The normal tradition was to watch sitcoms together anytime they had a meal at the dinning room. Aunt Mabel would be the first to sit in the sitting room, Serena would join her while Uncle Jeff would come in last.Aunt Mabel always slept halfway into movies, Serena and Jeff would binge watch movies together until Uncle Jeff was tired he'd take her aunt into the room while she either continued watching more shows or she'd retired to her room.That was when they ate together, but on other nights when she had her meal in her room, she'd just watch stu

Serena began speaking after the waiter left. She had given the restaurant a four star review for both of them.“I know my place, Jaxon. Our worlds are totally different and you have a lot going on. I should be the least of your worries. Whatever you have going on with your brother, you should resolve it. Family is more important, focus on that. You might regret it so much if you lose any of them. It can happen at anytime, any minute, so please, take care of yourself. I'll always remain grateful to you for getting my uncle out and giving us our house back, but you see, it makes us even more indebted to you. I don't think any further affiliation with you would be good.”Jaxon sighed, “I'm not asking you for anything. It's just..”“My uncle still has to work for your company to make sure everything is returned, doesn't he?” Serena asked him, he sighed, they both knew the answer.“It's not like he's working for the replacement of the funds, I'll figure it out, but it's not like you're s

She wore a teardrop pearl necklace that sitted well on her chest suiting the V-neck blouse she'd chosen to wear her black mini skirt with. It was nothing grand, she reminded herself.She had picked the venue and made sure to come twenty minutes late. She walked into the cafe and didn't have to look around too much to find him. He was punctual, all these things he was doing to repent.He had shades on, but she could tell him apart even if there were several men wearing the same suit he wore. He looked nice in a suit. She laughed in her head, he still became the corporate guy he dreaded so much - because of her, she was reminded by another of her thoughts. Shut Up- she told it back.Lemons - he had started using that bath wash again or he intentionally used it to remind her of the first time she met him. She maintained her stoic expression. He wasn't exactly smiling at her as well, but he looked good, seductive as always in whatever he wore. He would be the center of attraction in his
