Jamie's POV
A few months have passed and my recovery has been going extremely well. I had managed to gain weight to a healthy norm and I was back to eating normally and working out to be toned. At this very moment me and Nicole were on our way to Miami to support Saul on some serious business he had to take care of.
You could say I was on extremely good terms with him, amazing one might say and I really wanted to be there for him. Me and Nicole were packing a few things for the time being that we would be in Miami when I got a call from Saul.
Jamie: hey Saul what's up?
Saul: hey I'm just calling to see if you wanted to come with me on the private jet..
Jamie: I mean that would be nice but don't you usually travel with your huge entourage?
Saul: normally yes but not this time, only a few people are coming with me so you and Nicole are welcome to come with me and by welcomed I mean I really want you to come so please don't turn me down
Jamie: okay give me a sec and let me tell Nicole on this change of plans, I'm going to put you on speaker
Saul: okay
I walked to her room and knocked. "Nicole can I come in?" "Sure thing baby cakes" "oh Nicole you need to drop those nicknames but anyways just letting you know I have Saul on speaker phone, and he is inviting us to ride with him on the private jet..?" she snatched my phone from my hand.
Nicole: Saul you just love making my life a living hell huh?
Saul: no not at all but how am I making your life a living hell?
Nicole: because you know the process of canceling a flight on a commercial airline?
Saul: no sorry I wouldn't know..
Nicole: of course. Well it's not fun and it's literally the most hellish thing ever
Saul: I'm sorry so does that mean you guys are still coming with me?
Nicole: obviously, by the way Jamie is smiling at me can only mean she really wants to travel with you and well i'd do anything for my baby girl even if it meant dragging me to the pits of hell and back
"NICOLE! Shut up, you weren't supposed to say that" I whispered to her. She literally ignored my statement and went on
Jamie: Anyways Saul we'll be there, text me please and I hung up immediately.
I tackled Nicole to the floor and we began play fighting each other. "Nicole I hate you sometimes" "but like same though" It was silent for a bit and then we burst out laughing. "Anyways I got to finish packing" I got a text from Saul saying one of his drivers was on his way to pick us up. "Shoot we have to hurry! Saul is sending one of his drivers to pick us like now"
.
On the plane, I thought I was going to sit next to Nicole but Victor came along so you can all guess where she sat and Saul was talking with Oscar about what was going to go down in Miami so I was the odd one out. I sat by a window seat, criss-crossed with my head layed against the window just looking out into the clouds thinking about stuff and zoning out listening to JB's Purpose album. That album really got me through a lot these past few months and listening to it always made me emotional.
Saul's POV
I was having an important conversation with Oscar, Chepo and my Dad. From the corner of my eye I could see Jamie sitting all alone. I felt bad because I invited her on the plane and if she would have flown commercially she would have been with Nicole. I decided to shorten and finish the conversation so I could go and keep Jamie company.
I walked over to where she was sitting and sat across from her. She had her eyes closed and one earbud in listening to music. "Jamie, hey are you alright?" She had a few tears streaming down her face. Why was she crying?" I instantly felt so bad, it was only natural because I hated seeing her cry, my inner protectiveness over my girls being my daughter, my mother. my sister and obviously Jamie always came out when I was with them. "Jamie...Jamie hey are you okay?" no response. Was she ignoring me? "Jamie, baby girl" I lightly caressed her arm and she finally looked at me and wiped the few tears she had.
"Oh my gosh, hey Saul what's up?" "just came to keep you company but are you okay?" "yeah sorry I was just listening to my favorite song and it got me emotional, I was completely zoned out in my own little world, I didn't mean to ignore you" "no, no it's fine, I was just worried"
I smiled. "So how are you feeling? Are you nervous?" "I'm feeling great, you know gotta keep an optimistic attitude but I'm a little nervous. I always told myself that if I ever had the opportunity to come to the U.S I would never get in trouble with the law and well here we are"
"Don't be nervous just like they say roll with the punches. Whatever happened, happened and you and your team and the other guys team need to come to an agreement. Don't make it harder than it already is but also don't let yourself get taken advantage of"
"You're right I'll be sure to keep your advice in mind but anyways moving on from that bullshit what are you going to do in Miami?" "Um well I honestly don't know since Nicole is pretty comfortable with Victor so I have a feeling I'm going to be ditched and alone"
"No you're not, look I have court in the morning and depending on how long it will take, we can go out and do something just like old times. But only if you want to, I don't want to rush you into anything I just really want to move up the ladder with this relationship"
"Honestly I do too but I just want to be sure Saul you know what happened between us was a big hit and I'm slowly trying to recover from it but I want you to know that you were, are and will be someone I keep close to my heart"
"That gives me hope that we'll be something again soon.I really miss you and by that I mean holding you in my arms, holding your hand, calling you baby, babe, baby girl all that and just being able to come home and know you're all mine. It scares me to think that any guy can come by and sweep you off your feet at any given moment. It's like a race and I'm running out of time. I know you have no time to waste to be with someone but I shouldn't be much longer to win you back and it's so selfish of me to say because you shouldn't have to wait but I can't lose you Jamie I honestly don't know what I would do with myself if I did"
"You're not Saul. I have no other man in mind and I never did. Like I said you hold a special place in my heart and it will stay like that but I am going to be honest and say that I hated you for a minute and I never wanted to see or hear from you, but deep down I missed you like crazy and wanted you close to me I'm just glad we're both looking forward to work things out" I reached over and caressed his cheek and he smiled and put his hand over mine.
After touching down in Miami Saul went straight to his court appearance. I actually got to hang out with Nicole for the day so we could explore and so something together while I had her.
We started the day by going to the hotel gym and thankfully it wasn't too full so we could actually talk to each other while doing our thing. "Man that plane ride was lonely... but you and Victor were hitting it off pretty good on the plane huh,
I pretended to be mad. "Jamie, Did you feel left out? Girl you should have said something I would have gladly been with you. I just thought you know maybe you could take that time to be with Saúl" "girl it's fine, I'm not mad at all, I mean, I felt lonely for a second but I got over it right after I turned on my music. Saul came to me shortly after and we had another heartfelt conversation. We also made plans to go out tonight.
"Aww girly I'm sorry I didn't mean to ditch you but please tell me more about this hang out" "well i'm not exactly sure what we're going to do but I'm sure it will be fun and memorable"
"Why is that so cute lol I want to cry tears of joy, you guys are taking the first steps into moving your relationship to the next level. Gosh how I missed "Samie"" I laughed. "yep , time heals all and well after taking things into consideration and hearing him out I think he deserves another chance and you're right, this is a perfect way of setting things in motion" "that's good Jamie, like super good. I'm extremely happy for you and well proud. You have been through so much and somehow you still managed to keep a smile on your face" "thank you, I try to"
We finished our workout and decided to go out and take this time to catch up.
