Sun On My Face, Wind in My Hair

Chapter Three

An hour into their flight, Josie came to the cockpit, asking if they wanted anything to eat or drink. The men asked for snacks and diet sodas, so she left to retrieve what they had requested.

When Josie returned, she bent over to open Chris’s fruit and cheese pack, giving him a view of her ample bosom. She then pretended to drop something so she could bend over, showing him the shape of her bottom.

Jordan laughed out loud as Chris gave him a threatening look, warning him to shut up.

“That is fine, Josie, we are good. Leave us now, we need to discuss our flight plan,” Chris told her.

Josie, disappointed that he had not noticed her flirtatious moves, stomped and left the area.

Once they finally landed, the crew were all exhausted and happy to be on the ground. They all stopped at a bar and grill to get a good meal before getting settled into a hotel. Josie kept pouring vodka into Chris’s soda whenever he was talking and had his head turned.

Before long, Jordan had to help Chris into a cab and up to his hotel room.

Josie of course helped get Chris settled into bed. She assured Jordan that she would stay and help him. Jordan tried to protest, but Josie quickly ushered him out of the room.

Chris, not a drinker, was out cold.

“Well, this isn’t the ideal situation, but I’ll take what I can get,” Josie said, loosening Chris’s clothing and laying beside him, snuggling close. Smiling, Josie took several selfies with the intoxicated man who was unaware of anything.

Penny got worried when Chris hadn’t called by midnight. She knew that his plane had landed at 8:30 that night.

Josie heard Chris’s phone and sleepily answered it, still laying beside him in bed.

“Hello?” Josie answered, seeing that it was Penny.

“Who is this? I was calling Christopher McQueen,” Penny asked, confused why a woman was answering his phone.

“I’m Josie, who is this?” She asked, pretending not to know.

“I am Chris’s wife, and why do you have his phone?” Penny demanded.

“Oh, well, I answered for him. He drank a little too much and he’s out cold,” Josie slyly answered, showing Penny her husband, who was clearly in the same bed with this woman.

Penny’s heart sank as the realization hit her.

With a voice higher than her normal tone, Penny asked the question as she held back tears. “Are you…are you sleeping with my husband?”

Josie held back the happiness in her voice as she answered.

“Well, I didn’t know that he was married, but yes, we have been together for a while now.

Penny looked down at the lab result in her hand and a tear dropped onto the page.

Unable to speak and brokenhearted, Penny ended the call.

“I can’t tell him I’m pregnant. I won’t. How could he do this to us? To me, to his kids, how could you, Christopher? I trusted you!” She shouted, throwing her wedding picture against the wall and breaking the glass frame.

April knocked anxiously on Penny’s door, concerned about her.

“Come in, April,” she said, tearfully.

Penny cried in April’s arms as she told her what had happened.

“Cuz…I’m so sorry. I never thought in a million years that Chris would be unfaithful to you. He always acted like he adored you and the kids,” April said, wiping tears from her own eyes.
