Bejeweled- The lucky one season 2

Birthday day

The lucky one- Bejeweled- chapter 35

October 5

It's just 2am, and Trav is dead asleep on his seat in my jet as we are heading to KC. It's his birthday, the first one with me, and as if this alone isn't nerve-wracking enough, I'm about to meet his parents.

They have no idea about us but I agree it's about time. After seeing Trav talking to Anastasia in the incubator yesterday, my heart filled even more with hopes that this man may be my destiny. Even though we are just getting to know each other and trying to have some fun beside our crazy schedules, I feel so calm in this relationship…

The kind of anxiety that drove me to write ‘Out of the woods’ and ‘The Archer’ isn't here. Okay, it's too soon to be anxious anyway, but I've been feeling anxious for so long. It's difficult to remember a time when I was really relaxed.

After the meeting with Dr Thompson in the morning we headed home and jumped into the pool with Claire, trying to make her less annoyed for not having a phone for a few days, and the way he managed to make her laugh made me melt. Then we spent the night at my apartment watching a few series until leaving for the airport at midnight. I sang happy birthday to him on our way there and gave him my present, and his reaction was priceless. The man had shocked teary eyes, opening the wrapping paper and finding a rolex. I had to hold myself from doing something too big since we were still in the early days of our relationship, but I couldn't let it slip away.

I'm a birthday enthusiast, which surely is one of the reasons why Joe got annoyed with me. I love to celebrate my birthdays and plan to celebrate my loved ones' birthdays.  Later today, after his parents leave, I'm taking him out to dinner in a cute and intimate restaurant I got to know the last time I was there. I just want to hear birthday stories from him and have a great time in his arms. Then tomorrow he told me he's going to present me to his best friend and his wife. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. I vaguely remember their names from the notes I sent them when they were at the stadium for my show, but from the amount I've heard from Trav, I can tell we will get along well.

I sigh and close my eyes in an attempt to take a nap and look less miserable in the morning but as I open my eyes I'm being held by Travis in the backseat of one of my cars with my two security guards driving us.

– Shit, I'm so sorry, babe. I don't usually sleep like this.

He chuckles.

– It's okay, babe. I've got you.

– You could've woke me up when we landed, you know?

– We tried, ma'am, the three of us. We were getting worried. – Drew answers for Travis and my cheeks burn with embarrassment.

– Feels like all of these successive sleepless nights finally got on you, uh? – Trav kisses my forehead, and I silently nod, stretching my arms.

By now, it is around 4:30 am, and I recognize that by the window, we are not far away from his neighborhood. It's a normal upper-class avenue, with great houses and a quiet place, which makes me worry about the circus when Midia finds out Trav and I are together. I really don't want to disturb his neighbors or overwhelm everyone around.

– A penny for your thoughts. – Kelce whispers playfully in my ear, making me giggle.

– Just admiring your neighborhood.– I sigh contently.– I hope I don't ruin the peace for these people when they find out I've been spending time here.

– Babe, you would ruin my peace not being here with me. I won't be bored to have pictures taken of me, of course we will be photographed, you are the most famous person in America these days and are a breathtakingly beautiful woman.  As much as we are happy, all of the rest is just white noise, babe. We can live our lives privately but without hiding, and if some guys want to camp outside the house, good for them.
