UNDER THE SPELL OF THE SWEET PILOT 31
The car journey kept stretching on longer and longer. I glanced at Hayden, who was focused on the road. Then, I checked the time; it was three in the morning. I shifted in my seat, feeling somewhat uncomfortable; we had been on the road for several hours."Where are we going?" I asked for the umpteenth time.Hayden didn't look at me; he just shrugged. I wanted to hit him with my shoe, but I hadn't even been allowed to bring one."To the end of the world," he replied with a smile.I grimaced, but I felt too drowsy to start an argument with him, so I fell silent."You're going to love the place; it'll just be the two of us. I've taken care of everything, so don't worry," he said.I nodded slowly."You'd better, because I won't forgive you so easily for this. How could you drag me out of the house without shoes and in pajamas?" I scolded him.Hayden turned to look at me and started laughing. I looked away so he wouldn't see that I was also smiling; of all the crazy things that have happe

Hayden parked in front of a beautiful cabin. I looked at him, and he just smiled at me. Then, he took my hand, where I had put the ring, and kissed it."May this be the first of many getaways together," he said.Hayden got out of the car and then opened the door for me, helping me out."Does Jona know about this?" I asked.Jona was very strict about work, and I wouldn't want him to get distracted because of me."I have five days off, so I plan on enjoying them all with you," he said.He started taking off his clothes, and I began to look around."What are you doing? Get dressed," I ordered.Hayden ignored my command and continued undressing until he was completely naked."It's just the two of us, so we can do whatever we want," he said.He approached me, took off my jacket, and then started taking off my pajamas."Somebody might see us, and I don't want my butt to be recognized. What happened that day in the car was more than enough," I said.Hayden paid no attention to my words and f

The trip back was mortifying; I didn't want to return. I wanted to stay alone with him and make love wherever we wanted. I wanted to have him all to myself, see him walk naked around the house while he smiles."What are you thinking about? You're blushing," Hayden said as he drove.I looked at my engagement ring and smiled. I always dreamed of a dream ring, with a huge stone. I believed that the more expensive the jewel, the more love the other person felt. But now, looking at this red plastic ring, all those stupid ideas ended up in the trash. I wouldn't trade this ring for anything because it meant all the love we felt for each other; it was simply perfect."Kat?" Hayden called me.I stopped looking at my ring and looked back at him."I'm thinking about you naked," I said.Hayden started laughing."If you want, I can undress now," he proposed.Although the proposal was very tempting, I shook my head. If a cop stopped us and realized Hayden was naked, we'd be in trouble, and the trut

The night came, and I was biting my nails out of nervousness. I looked at the clock again and took a deep breath. Hayden should have arrived half an hour ago. What if she told him and now he wants nothing to do with me? I scratched my head in desperation and started pacing in circles in the kitchen; the nerves were killing me."Please, come quickly," I pleaded to nothing.I heard the door open. I rushed out of the kitchen; Hayden was coming in. I ran to him and hugged him tightly."What's wrong?" he asked me.I stepped back from him and started crying."I swear I didn't know," I began to say.Hayden grabbed my face in his hands and looked at me in terror."What's going on?" he asked again.I kept crying. I didn't even know how to begin telling him what had happened."Kat, please calm down," he begged me.I took a deep breath and nodded."I'm sorry," I apologized."I believe you, but I don't understand anything," he said.I moved away from him and looked into his eyes."I don't want to

Jona approached me, looked at me, and gave me a couple of pats on the back. I looked at him and smiled a little; these days I had been somewhat distracted. Ana called me and, shouting, told me that Kat had caught Carlo's eye, that she didn't care that he had a family, and that I was crazy if I continued with her. My father also called me to demand that I leave her."Is everything okay?" Jona asked me.I looked at him and smiled a little."Troubles never cease," I replied.Jona stared at me; he knew me very well."Dad wants me to leave Kat, in fact, he demanded it, and I'm afraid he'll take away our sponsorship. I know how much you've worked for this, I don't want to hurt you, but I can't leave her either, I love her," I told him.Jona nodded."Then fight for her, your mother called me and told me something, but I doubt it's the truth. Kat doesn't seem like that kind of person," he said."She isn't; in fact, she was the first to tell me, and I believe her. You, more than anyone, know w

I sat on the bed and started dialing Hayden; it was almost midnight and he still hadn't arrived."Where are you?" I asked with concern."In the kitchen," he replied.I immediately got up and left the room; it was strange that I hadn't heard the door open. When I got to the kitchen, I saw him putting a cloth on his face."What happened to you?" I asked with concern.I approached him and took the cloth off; he had a huge bruise on his cheek."I got into a fight with Carlo, but he ended up worse than me," he told me with a smile.Carefully, I pressed the cloth against his bruised face."You shouldn't have fought with him," I scolded him.Hayden pulled me towards him and kissed me on the forehead."He deserved it," he said.I looked into his eyes."What did your parents say?" I asked.Hayden shrugged."I think I don't have parents anymore. They prefer him, so they can have him," he said.I stepped away from him, placed the cloth on the counter, and crossed my arms."Stop talking like that

In the following days, two more sponsors left, and Jona was visibly stressed, while Hayden, even though he tried to maintain a positive attitude, couldn't hide his helplessness in the situation."What if we break up?" I asked one night, as he told me about selling his apartment."Are you crazy? This is just a phase, we'll get through this soon," he replied with a smile."But all this is happening because of me, and I don't want you to hate me," I said.Hayden came closer and hugged me."I just need your support. Be my beacon, Kat, and I promise I'll reach the goal," he said.We separated, and he looked into my eyes."I just want you to be happy. I... I love you, and I couldn't bear to see you unhappy," I confessed.Hayden hugged me again and kissed my head repeatedly."Silly, I could never hate you. You're the love of my life, so get those crazy ideas out of your head," he assured.I hugged him back, feeling powerless. If only I could do something more, but I felt tied up.[...]When

I returned to the office since Kat hadn't let me explain anything and had left; later, calmly, I would tell her what we had decided to do."Everyone is okay with reducing their salary a bit," Jona told me.I nodded. With the sale of my apartment, we could cover what was missing. If my father thought he could pressure me with money, he was sorely mistaken."What did Kat say?" Jona asked me."I couldn't catch her. By the time I got out, she was gone. But I'll talk to her later," I replied with a smile.I left the office, and Nora approached me."Are they going to be fired?" she asked.I smiled and shook my head."Everything's fine, so don't worry," I said to reassure her.She frowned, but then nodded with a smile."Why don't you just leave her?" she asked."I love her, and she loves me. So don't ask me that kind of question again. Let's get back to work now; I want to make some progress," I said.She nodded and walked with me to the car we were refurbishing for the next race.I worked f
