CHAPTER NINETEEN

“Why are we waiting?” Ashley asked the stewardess.

The stewardess looked at her, and smiled, but she didn’t answer her. She instead took the tray with the empty wine glass that Ashley had been drinking from, and headed back toward the stewardess station. It was as if she had been ordered NOT to give information, which, it seemed to Ashley, contradicted her very job description! But that was the least of Ashley’s worries.

She was too busy wondering why they were still waiting. It had been nearly half an hour since they touched down in Jersey, and there was no sign of a car, or a cab, or even an Uber to transport her to Monk. Nothing. Which probably meant Monk was coming himself and was running late.

Or, she thought horribly, he had changed his mind about bringing her there, and his flight crew was trying to figure out what to do with her.

She started to pull out her cell phone and tell Monk nobody was handling her like that. She’d get off of that plane and walk to her uncle’s hotel in New York before she let anybody handle her like that.

But as she thought about making that phone call, or at least going up there to the flight chief and demand that he tell her what the hold-up was, a bright red Mercedes sports car came speeding onto the tarmac. Ashley smiled at the prospect of it being Monk in that nice car.

To her pleasant surprise, it was Monk.

When he got out of that car and began running toward the plane, with his suit and hat making him look like some old-style gangster, Ashley still was having a hard time believing it. Was that her man now? Was that where this was headed? Monk Paletti was going to be hers? Her man? And she and couldn’t stop smiling. Because he came. Because he was simply late. That was the answer, she thought, as she couldn’t contain her excitement any longer and she got up from her seat and hurried off of the plane to greet him. That was the wonderful answer!

Monk couldn’t get to her fast enough when he saw her running down the steps of his plane. The very short, bright-colored, poodle skirt she wore was flaring-out in the wind, and her long, black hair was bouncing as she ran. And Monk was smiling too. So much so that every member of his flight crew, including his pilot, stood at the windows of the plane watching. And to a man and woman, they could hardly believe their eyes. Their boss went from not ever being seen with a woman in all the years they’d worked for him, to running to get to one?

Ashley had run down to the second-to-last step by the time Monk got to her, and he grabbed her and lifted her up and into his arms.

Ashley felt that protectiveness again, something she’d never felt with no other man, when Monk’s big arms flew around her.
