Chapter 13

JAYDE

I looked critically at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my bedroom. My hair was in a loose plait, there was no point in going to too much trouble. My snow beanie would only mess it up anyway. My faded blue jeans, white T-shirt, and white sneakers looked holiday-ready. I draped a light sweater around my shoulders and took one more critical look. Perfect.

My housekeeper helped me pack my ski suits, ski boots, and casual wear for my Aspen trip. I couldn’t do without her. She was a marvel with excellent taste and a memory like an elephant. I never told her anything twice, and she was as reliable as hot cocoa.

It was just past 10 am, and I was ready to meet Aidan and the others at the airport. We were flying to Aspen in the jet that Aidan and I spent time in not too long ago. Vegas would never be the same again. I was glad that we wouldn’t be alone in the skies again. It would be too awkward. He and I hadn’t seen each other since the kiss, and I wasn’t sure what he thought of my unique intervention skills with Kayla. I couldn't shake the feeling that he found it amusing rather than a turn on. Which was fine by me. It wasn’t as if my ego demanded he fall madly in love with me because of an ill-timed kiss. I reminded myself that we were just friends and that there were no reasons for me to feel awkward. He obviously hadn’t.

I’d never leave my Mustang princess at the hanger for two weeks, so when Aidan offered his driver’s services I happily accepted. Gilly and Dan were close on my heels. The buzzer to my apartment sounded at 10:30 am. Carl came upstairs, collected my bags, and we set off for the airport. Traffic was a bunfight as always, but Carl was a pro, zigzagging in and out of the main arteries to the airstrip.

Gilly and Dan were waiting for Carl and me as we drove up to their apartment building. Carl greeted them politely and collected their bags without uttering a single complaint about the size and weight of Gilly’s bag.

“What the hell have you got in there, Gilly?” I asked as they joined me in the limo.

“I tried to talk some sense into her, Jayde, I swear, but she just kept packing.” Dan laughed as Gilly rolled her eyes.

“Looks like you’re running away from the IRA. Going into witness protection are we?” I teased.

“A girl can never be too prepared,” she said. “Besides, I can’t stand it when strangers do my laundry. Nothing in here will be worn twice.”

“You are so weird, Gilly.” I laughed.

“But loveable, right?” She smiled.

“Totally,” Dan affirmed. “Two-hundred-pound baggage and all.”

“If you aren’t careful, I’ll leave one hundred and sixty pounds behind at the airport.”

“Wow, that was harsh! Dan, you better behave,” I said, watching as Dan and Gilly grinned at each other.

“What are Marco and Lola like?” Dan asked me.
