Chapter 3 • Sail Away With Me
"Holly keep up the pace girl" Jordan laughs as we board onto the ship before other passengers did. We had first class tickets.
"I am trying! You are really far to fast for me!" I complain as I drag my three suite cases along on each arm.
"Hey Holly!" someone calls out to me coming up behind me grabbing my bags.
"Jon!" I say happily. Jon Knight was with us now!
"Girl I heard you were coming! Good to see you back!" Jon tells me as he smiles my way.
"Good to be around" I tell him. We make our way through the sea of people that were starting to pour on the boat.
"Are all the Kids going to be on the same floor?" I could not help but worry.
"Yes why? Will that be an issue?" Jordan worries. I really did not want to have my room to be anywhere near JOEY'S. But I could not pay for another room on my income. So I would have to take the free room.
"I doubt you will even cross path's with Joey girl. I will have you far to busy" Jordan jokes.
"I sure hope you are right about that" I grumble.
I was hoping on this whole trip not to run into the man or his happy little family at all while I was here.
"Is Joey's wife and kids here?" I ask.
"Didn't you guys hear?" Jon asks us.
"Hear what?" Jordan asks.
"They got a divorce. She filed over the spring. He has custody with of the kids though. He will get time with them when he wants" says Jon. My heart sinks. Poor Joey. I never wanted that for him. I felt badly for his kids.
"That is awful" I say.
"It is what it is. Same thing happened with Evelyn. Fame and work get in the way" Jordan points out.
"You guys should be happy" I state. Everyone should have a happily ever after. I felt that way.
"Some do" Jordan says as he smiles over at someone coming our way. Was it Joey? I look to see Donnie and Jenny heading our way. I never met Jenny McCarthy before. I met Donnie a few times back when I dated Jordan and Joey in the 80's. I had also met Mark and his mother Alma.
"Hi guys!" Donnie greets us all. He hugs everyone.
"Holly?" he asks me looking back into my face before hugging me.
"In the flesh" I say smiling.
"What are you doing here?" he asks me.
"I work for Jordan" I say.
"Wow I was not expecting that" he chuckles.
"Why is that a bad thing?" I ask feeling defensive.
"No, no. It is good to have you around. Never mind! Have you met my beautiful wife Jenny?" he asks me as he brings Jenny over to meet me. Jenny warmly shakes my hand.
"Pleasure to meet you. What is your name?" she asks me.
"Holly" I explain.
"She is my assistant" Jordan informs Jenny. "And NOT Jon's. I do not want to catch you making any Starbucks runs for that brother of mine" Jordan warns me playfully.
"Oh of course not" I giggle. Jon winks at me.
"We will see about that" Jon jokes. Jordan hands me my room key.
"Well shall we get all settled in and head down to dinner?" Donnie asks us all.
"Sounds good to me" agrees Jon.
"See you all in a few moments" I agree. I place my key card in the slot. Let myself my new home away from home. It was amazing. It had a little tiny kitchen. A living room. Bathroom. Bedroom. And a deck to sit at. Wow. I loved it. I got ready for dinner. Freshened up a bit. I really hoped Joey was not going to be joining us for dinner. I really was in no mood to see him YET. I knew it might happen. I was bracing myself for it. I get a text from Jordan.
Ready 2 go? He texts me.
Ready boss. I text back.
Meet me in the hall. He tells me. I head out in the hall way after grabbing my purse. I lock up my room.
Then place my key card in my purse.
"Holly? What are YOU doing here?" I hear HIM saying. My heart pounds faster. Oh why was this happening right now? Right here? Where are you Jordan? Rescue me. I look up into the clearest blue eyes that never seemed to age. I have to catch my breath for a brief moment. Joey. Why did he have to be so handsome?
"Holly it is you isn't it?" he asks me softly. I manage to nod.
"Hello Joey" I manage to find my words at last.
