Can't Let Her Get Away!

Chapter One

"Do you really have to leave? Can't you call in sick? After all you hate flying. I mean you will be gone a month!" my boyfriend whines in my ear as he hugs me close. I try to pack for an important business trip. But he was being such a jealous big baby right now.

I turn around to face him. "Jonathan being away will make our hearts grow fonder for one another. Besides don't you trust me?" I remark to him. I had been dating Jonathan Wellis for about two months now. And he was starting to get on my nerves.

I think when I am on tour with my boss, I was going to break things off in a "Dear John" letter while I was away from him. Saying it was not you but me. That would be good. I was really not that into Jonathan anyway.

He was more into me than I was into him. I was hooked up by a mutual friend of ours. Jonathan knew that I had feelings for my boss. He overheard me talking on the phone to a friend about it one night to make matters worse.

I stayed with him because I did not want him telling my boss I had the hots for him.

♥☆♥☆♥

"I know you love this job and it is important to you. But please call me every night and I swear I will be faithful to you Mel. Will you be to me?" Jonathan worries.

I sigh. "Jonathan listen to me. You found out I used to have a little thing for my boss. But that is over. We are together. We have been two months now. You need to learn how to trust women. And me. Otherwise this is not going to work for us. Got it? Besides that, Devon could have any woman in the world he wants. He does not want me" I promise him. "My boss has no interest in me whatsoever" I warn him.

"He could have you and string you along any time he wanted to" Jonathan pouts.

"Hey stop doing that. It is such a turn off in a guy" I warn him.

I was so annoyed. Thank god I was leaving tomorrow. The phone rings in my bedroom. I grab it to answer it pulling myself away from my annoying boyfriend.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hi there Melody, are you already for tomorrow?" my boss asks me.

"Devon hey I was packing up right now. I am nearly done" I promise him.

Jonathan glares over at me. He pouts then sets down on the bed.

"Want to pack early? My jet is getting fouled tonight" Devon tells me. "You can pack tonight" he offers.

♥☆♥☆♥

That sounded great.

"You need help packing?" I tease.

"I figured you might need a break from Jonathan's complaining" he jokes.

I giggle. He knew me well. "That I do. I really do" I sigh.

"Come on over then" he demands. "Tell him the boss is making you"

"Fine. I mean if you say I have to then I have to" I laugh.

"You do have to. Get over here right now young lady" he jokes around.

I can't help but smile. He always made me smile so damn much.

"Alright. Be right there see you soon" I tell him. We hang up.

"What now?" Jonathan wants to know.

I face him. "I have to go over to Devon's house. I am sorry" I say to my boyfriend.

He frowns. "Tonight?" he grumbles. "Come on"

"I promise when I get back home I will make up for lost time" I vow.

He sighs.

"Trust me please. You have nothing to worry about" I say.

He hugs me. "I hate this. You will be gone a whole month" he complains.

"I know. But it will be so much fun when I come back home. I will send you a postcard" I tell him.

♥☆♥☆♥

Ahem letter....

"Fine. I have no choice in the matter. You will not listen to me" he grumbles.

"See you when I get back babe" I say as I allow him to kiss me goodbye.

Soon Devon's limo was there to pick me up. I get my luggage. Then I head out the door. I am taken off to his home. And I go ring the doorbell and Devon lets me inside.

They bring in my luggage. The limo driver. I hated to fly. But I loved traveling with my boss. I was Devon Jackson's personal assistant. I had to do what he asked of me. To bad that was not to love him endlessly. Because I already did that.

"How is the boyfriend?" questions Devon.

I frown as I slug him playfully on the arm. "Not funny. I am going to break things off with him while we are overseas", I tell Devon.

"Didn't you say that the last trip?" he has to remark.

"Shush. Just like you broke things off with Paula?" I challenge back.

"I only hang out with her when I am lonely. That is all. We are not going steady like you and old Jon boy" he tells me.

♥☆♥☆♥

We were best of friends. We spent so much time together. Sometimes this did not even feel like a job. It felt like a fun trip with my friend. Unless I forgot to do something for him.

Then he might get a little upset with me. He did not have many demands. He wanted his favorite snacks when he needed them. And he could not go do things like a normal person would. I had to do it myself for him. I was a no one.  No one cared if they spotted me out in the street at a store.

Devon would be mobbed.

Devon leads me to the back of his home where the plane was located. They were fulling it up. And I carry my luggage following Devon to the back. His home was so amazing. I follow Devon up the ramp of the plane and he helps me pack up for the next day.

"I know you hate flying. It will not be that bad. The flight will be about ten hours though" he warns me when we stand on the plane.

I sigh. "I know ten hours?" I moan softly.

He nods. "We are heading to Hawaii" he reminds me. "Then we are going to California" he tells me.

"All over. Yea" I remark sarcastically.

He places a hand on my arm. He rubs my arm. "It will be fine. You will be alright. Every time we fly you always worry. And everything turns out fine" he has to remind me.

He hugs me.

His embrace felt so good. I allowed myself to enjoy his comfort. My arms go around him. Suddenly my heart aches to stay there. I could not let my head think that way. I pull back soon. He smiles at me. I smile back. I back away shyly.

"So, are you all packed for the trip?" I ask him making small talk.

"They are loading it now. All the outfits and everything" he tells me. "We are taking two planes. One for me then one for my items" he explains.

I nod. "Must be nice" I joke.

"I am so excited to start this tour. The fans are to. I love the new music on the tape that was done" he mentions. "I have been working on new stuff for a future album" he admits.

♥☆♥☆♥

He was so creative.

"Wow maybe on the flight you can tell me more about it?" I ask.

"Hey, want to spend the night over here?" he offers. "I hate being alone here"

"What about your girl? Won't she be over?" I muttered.

I really did not care for his lady love.

"No, she is flying out to Paris" he tells me. "We already said our goodbyes"

"Sure, why not. Keeps me from listing to Jonathan go on and on" I sigh. "He is so annoying"

"Are you really breaking up with him?" Devon wants to know.

I nod. "That I am" I say.

"Sure, sure" he jokes.

"I mean it. I am" I say.

"Whatever!" he laughs.

He smiles at me. I smile back.

"I better go tell Jonathan I am not going to come back tonight" I giggle.

"Alright! Slumber party" he laughs.

We head out of the plane chasing each other out of there. Not knowing what the future held that week for us. If I had, I never would have gotten on that plane the next day. But we did. And that was where everything went wrong......
