Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 65

I forgot this was my first time flying in a plane, I had watched a lot of movies where people flying in planes for the first time always seemed to be scared but I never really knew why...well I can relate now.

The slight sudden movements of the plan was enough to make my heart beat pick up pace. I kept gulping and gripping the arm rest, not like it would protect me if something were to happen

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it" Morgan said with a smile, not looking up from the magazine she had her nose buried in

"I really don't think I could get used to this" I even felt nauseous

She chuckled "You will, Don't worry about it"

I just accept and just stared outside the window, admiring the blue sky and white clouds. I didn't know why but my mind slowly drifted to Eric and the expression he had on his face when he left the airport. He had a blank expression but even through that, I could see the look of disappointment mixed with anger and heartbreak and I couldn't help but feel bad about it even though I couldn't do anything about it....it was in the past now

I just wanted to focus on my new life, starting my new job at MFE, have a new beginning, lock up any memory of anything that once hurt me, doing all that while trying to balance it all with my baby. With that I laid my head back and closed my eyes, listening to the faint music from the plane and relaxing, enjoying my flight

Finally we arrived at the airport, we were finally in New York City!!. I couldn't help the excitement that kept growing inside of me, I was so happy and I expressed that very well

"We're in New York!!" I squealed

"Welcome darling" Morgan chuckled

Two men dressed in uniforms walked up to us, picking up our luggages. Morgan gestured for me to follow her and I did. We walked up to a black SUV parked outside the airport. A guy stood in front of it, his nose buried in his phone. He slowly looked up upon noticing the men with the suitcases

A small smile appeared on his face as he took of his dark shades. He tucks his hands in his pockets and stylishly crosses his leg, leaning backwards on the car in his all black outfit.

"Looking good as always" he complemented Morgan

She rolls her eyes, stopping a few feet away "Don't start with your complements again" she sounded like she didn't want it, but the smile on her face said something else

His gaze turns to me and he tilts his head a bit "Courtney?"

Morgan nods "Yes this is Courtney" she turns to me "Courtney darling, this is Clinton, your partner"

I placed my hand over my mouth in total shock "oh my God...I didn't even recognize him" one of the most famous fashion designers in New York was going to be my partner!

He chuckles "Nice to meet you partner" he reaches out to shake me and I shake him back with a smile

"Nice to meet you"

God he was so much more handsome in person

"Alright let's get going" Morgan said

I turned to her "where are we heading?"

"Your apartment"

Just when I thought we would ride in complete silence, either with Clinton on his phone and Morgan on hers or both of them having a conversation and me being left out....that was completely not so. Clinton was seated at the front while Morgan and I were at the back, all of us having a conversation. It started with Clinton just asking me random questions about myself then we started talking about fashion, then MFE and it's fashion shows along the years.
