Can't Let Her Get Away!

Chapter Sixteen

Devon and I were jet setting all over the world. I was finally being able to fly somewhat better. News got around fast that our plane was made to crash. That someone out there was trying to kill Devon. And we were trying to stop them so they did not have a second chance to kill him again. I was never going to let harm come to Devon. Now we were over in Korea. South Korea. We had flown over here once we were done in Japan.

This life was so exciting. I admit I had done it before. But was always there working for Devon. Working was a different story. So much so. Because now I did not have to work. I could enjoy being there. See the sights. Live the life. I was feeling jet lagged each time we landed. With the new time change. The rich foods and culture. The accents.

How fast life went around Devon in the blink of an eye. It sure was exciting to say the least.

Devon bought me a komo. We had matching ones to have dinner with an important political figure there in south Korea. Devon always had many important friends. I was excited to meet this gentlemen and his wife. Devon could speak so many languages. I could not. Devon always impressed me with all the skills he held.

“You look sexy even in that I want to rip it off you” Devon chuckles as he has me turn around in the komo.

“I am worried” I admit. “I do not know rules. And manners. What if I mess up at dinner? Maybe I should wait here? I am such a clutz” I sigh.

“No Mel you are going with me” he orders. “I want you by my side, you know I need you right now”

“I know you do. I worry I am going to mess it all up and make you look bad” I admit my worries.

He pulls me in his embrace. “You will never mess up my life. You always make me look good”

I beam a happy smile at him. “I love you so much” I whisper.

“I love you to. Once dinner is over then the concert. We can sleep in some in the morning” he offers.

“I love the sound of that. Snuggling in your arms” I tell him.

“Mmmm I love that to” he agrees.

He kisses me. “You look handsome in that” I tell him.

That reminded me of his "Around The World" video of all the different cultures. He looked handsome with his long hair pulled back out of his face. I could really see his handsome face now. And his long sleeves the outfit made his handsomeness pop out more. I loved seeing him in this light.

“I need photos of you in this” I giggle.

“Do we have to Mel?” he groans.

“Come on. I want to show your mom and sisters” I giggle.

“Fine” he grumbles as I get my camera out. He allows me to snap photos of him. Then he hands me a mask.

“What is that for?” I ask.

“To protect you from germs when we travel. I would feel better if you wear it Mel” he orders sternly.

“Fine” I agree. We put on our doctor face masks. Then we were ready to head to our important dinner meeting.

Devon offers me his arm to take. We wait for our bodyguards to show. Then we leave the room. There are fans cheering Devon's name. Devon waves at them as we keep our faces covered going through the crowd of people. We get in the limo. I am out of breath. Devon rubs my back for me.

“You okay Mel?” he asks me.

I nod. “Wow that was so many people” I gush. “I will never get used to that I am afraid”

“I heard some calling your name to!” he brags.

I am blushing. “Really? You are making that up” I giggle.

He shakes his head. “No really they were calling your name to” he tells me. “They know you now”

“Only because I am with you” I say. I kiss him.

We look out the window at all the bright lights there in Soul. It was a beautiful sight to behold. I hold onto Devon’s arm. When we get there, we are greeted by more fans.

Then we head out to dinner. They were waiting for us.

They stand up and we shake hands. Devon greets them in their language. I was not sure what was said. Then we are shaking hands. I nod then smile. We all sit down. Devon whispers in my ear what he said to them. And what they said to me. We order food. There was some live food. Sea food. My stomach turns.

“Devon I can’t eat that. You know I hardly eat meat” I whisper.

“Just eat what you want to” he whispers back.

“What if they find me to be improper or rude?” I worry.

“I will explain to them” he offers.

“Thanks” I gratefully answer.

As everyone else eats the items my stomach turns at the sight. I had to throw up. I hardly ate all day then I see this sea food stuff. The smells were unreal. I felt bad. I knew I was going to ruin things for Devon. I felt so bad.

“I have to go to the bathroom. Where is it?” I ask him.

“Over that way” he says as he points over to the door.

I rush to the bathroom. I get sick in there. I was so not feeling good. I hear someone knock on the door.

“Mel I am coming in” I hear Devon demand.

“Devon wait” I laugh. I freshen up in the bathroom. Then come out. He was waiting for me with concern.

“Did you get sick?” he asks me.

I nod. “The smells of the food got to me” I admit. “they made me sick”

“We better get going” he tells me.

“But your dinner?” I ask. “I ruined it” I sigh.

“Nonsense. You come first” he orders. He walks back to the table. He speaks with the people. They glance at me. Then we head out of there.

I was not up for going to a concert either. I get sick again once I am in the bathroom.

“What is going on?” he asks me.

“I don’t know. I need rest” I say.

“You stay put. I can call off the show” he offers.

“No, you already missed dinner. You can’t” I worry.

He rubs my arm with his hand. “You come first Mel” he orders.

“I can rest. You will be back. I will be fine” I tell him.

“Are you sure?” he asks me.

He sits beside me on the bed. “I want to be here for you”

“You are. I am here for you to” I point out. “it works both ways dear boy”

“I know” he says with a smile. He kisses me.

“I guess having to much fish on the island then having fish tonight was not a great idea” I sigh.

“If you get hungry let me know” he fusses over me. “I will get you anything you want”

“I could use some soda pop for my stomach” I sigh. I lean on his shoulder.

“I meet people all the time Mel. And they come and go in my life. There is only one person that matters the most to me. The one person who is staying. And that is you” he vows. “I will get you that soda” he offers. “wait here dear”

He gets up then I hear him talking to the guard. Then next thing I know there was a tray full of sodas coming my way. With a bucket of ice and cups. He sure spoiled me. I could not help but smile. He always did over did things. I wanted only one soda. There was all the soda in the world here!

“Devon” I giggle as I shake my head. “What did you do?” I snicker.

“You said you wanted a soda” he tells me with a smile.

“A….soda” I tease. “one soda. Not the entire sea of sodas” I joke.

“My baby wants it my baby gets it” he reminds me.

“I will be spoiled won’t I?” I joke.

“You sure will my love” he laughs.

He kisses me. “Get some rest. When I get back I will take good care of my baby” he vows.

I knew he meant it. “I know you will. I love you” I vow.

“I love you to Mel” he adds. “I hope you feel better”

“I do with you taking excellent care of me” I promise him.

I meant every word I said. He did take good care of me.
