CHAPTER SEVEN
Her
My father spared no expense on his lavish personal jet. We were seated in the lap of luxury. It included not only a piolet with a British accent but a flight attendant that did just about everything we asked of her with a smile on her face. We flew hand in hand to Dallas which was a nice feeling. When we landed at a private airfield I was shocked when the huge black limo approached. I thought that Adam’s eyes were going to pop out of his head.
“How loaded is your dad?” He asked as the chauffeur took our bags and opened the door for us. We got into the back of the limo and I had to do a double take. Sitting across from us was Mona and Mitch my personal butler from childhood.
“Oh my goodness.” Mona squeaked her face had aged but all in all she looked the same.
“I do agree Miss.” Mitch said looking at me and smiling. “Our little Dawn has returned.”
I blushed. I’m sure I looked affright to them. The last time they saw me I was a cute little blonde girl with big eyes and big dreams.
“Mona. You look the same.” I gushed as she leaned between our seats and wrapped her arms around me.
“I couldn’t believe your father when he said you were coming. This must be your boyfriend.” She let me go and instantly wrapped her arms around Adam.
“Not boyfriend.” He chocked. “But you know what I might as well be.” They both laughed.
“Your father had me pick out the most beautiful apartment for you two. It’s off Houston Street and it’s gorgeous. It’s over a thousand square feet and has a huge patio outside. I had all the furniture delivered today. I am so happy you two chose to start your lives in Dallas. OH we have to go shopping tomorrow.” She looked at me I could tell she did not approve of my attire.
“I would love that.” I said remembering all the things we used to do when I was a kid.
“Oh darling how I have missed you.” She smiled brightly. “I was so happy when your father said that he had found you.”
The conversation was rather awkward after that. She told me that she had kept in contact with most of my friends parents in hopes that one day I would return. They were all so happy to know I was coming that she had set up a gathering where we would all be reunited. I took hidden glances at Adam who looked extremely uncomfortable in his skin right about then.
When we arrived at the apartments I was amazed. Yet again my father had spared no expense in finding us a place to live while we were here. The chauffer got out and opened the trunk pulling out our bags and sitting them on the curb for us. Mona got out of the limo and stood next to us, she looked like at us and grinned.
“I would come up with you but I have a feeling you are going to love it. I will call you in the morning and see how you slept. I will also make an appointment with a stylist and we will have a girl’s day ok?” She hugged me and then Adam. “Oh before I forget.” She dug in her purse and pulled out the apartment keys. You are on the fourth floor 423 is your apartment number. You two have a great night.” She got back into the limo and there we stood in front of the building. Adam grabbed my carry on and his backpack and we went inside.
Into the elevator we proceeded and punched the fourth floor button we rode in silence. When we got out we followed the long corridor to the apartment number and put in the key and turning the lock. We walked in and both of us gasped. The place was gorgeous.
“I will say this for your father, he has taste.” He put my bags down and grabbed me around the waist. “This place is magnificent.” He pressed his lips to mine and everything around me melted into nothing.
