Chapter 8

“Would you like something to drink madam?” The flight attendant asked me, with a huge smile.

“Some water, please.” I smiled at her from the luxury of my first-class seat.

“And you sir?”

“I’ll have a rum and coke, please.”

I looked at Zane aghast. “You’re drinking?”

“Why shouldn’t I be?” He grinned at me and sat back.

“Weren’t you the one just telling me about alcohol this morning?”

“I told you it’s not smart to drink around shady guys.”

“Here’s your water ma’am, are you sure you don’t want anything else?”

“I’ll have a glass of champagne, please?” I looked at her uncertainly. Did they even have champagne on planes?

“Of course.”

“Alcohol?” Zane raised an eyebrow at me.

“I can hold my own around shady guys.” I smiled sweetly and turned to look out the window. I heard him chuckle and grinned to myself. “So where am I going to stay in LA and how much am I going to be making?”

“I’m surprised you haven’t asked before now.” Zane shook his head. “You’re way too trusting, Lucky.”

“Are you telling me I shouldn’t trust you?”

“I’m telling you that you shouldn’t trust anyone else too easily.”

“But trusting you is fine, right?”

“I’m looking after your best interests.”

“Why?” I questioned him.

“I feel like we’ve developed a friendship these last few months.”

“Really?” I laughed. “Was this before or after I presented you with your entrees?”

“It was somewhere between soup and salad.”

“Aw, now I know why you always gave me big tips. You were making sure your friend made a good wage.”

“Well you know. That’s what friends are for.” He laughed. “But in all seriousness, you’ll be staying with me, at my condo.”

“Oh okay.”

“I hope that’s okay. I’ll be able to make sure you stay out of trouble.”

“I’m not a kid, Zane.” I sighed. “I don’t need another dad.”

“You’re my responsibility Lucky. It will make me feel better. Humor me. Okay?”

“I guess. But I’ll have you know, I’m 22, not 12.”

“A 22 year old that makes bad mistakes.”

I rolled my eyes and turned away from him. Zane obviously had some sort of protector complex. I doubted that I would be able to talk him out of it. “Does Noah live there in the condo as well?”

“No.” He frowned and put his earphones on.

Well okay then, I thought to myself. I guess I still wasn’t going to find out about Noah. I didn’t understand what the big deal was, but I knew I didn’t want to push the issue. I hoped that Zane would tell me himself when he was ready. I put my earphones on as well, and flicked through the channels. I couldn’t quite believe that I was on a plane to Los Angeles. The day had seemed to fly by. After my shower, Zane and I had told my roommates that I was leaving and then we had dropped by Lou’s Burger Joint. Shayla’s and Maria’s jaws had dropped when I walked in with Zane. I still didn’t think that they believed me when I had told them we were not going on some sex-fuelled vacation.
