The Teen Intern

Desiree Does Japan

Chapter 6:

Des and The Shield were on a plane for their two day trip to Tokyo, Japan. This would be the first time that Desiree would leave the U.S. and it made her nervous as hell. She wasn't alone-this was also Joe and Jon's first times going to Japan and they were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep. What made Des nervous about this trip was that she was concerned about was that her new eating schedule was going to be affected. It was a week since she began her road to recovery, and the first three days, she would spit out her food and shed a few tears. Desiree thought that she wasn't able to eat her obstacle-the sandwich without throwing up. She was weak and powerless in her eyes. Jon would have to call her psychologist, who would provide her with the motivation to eat. After her live stream chats with her psychologist, it made her feel better, and bit by bit, she would eat that sandwich.

Desiree was sitting next to the man that has become her new travel buddy, Colby Lopez. Like usual, Colby was listening to his music, and Des was resting on her neck pillow. The difference about their routine was that Desiree wasn't trying to sleep. She was worried about her eating schedule. She was supposed to be eating in a few minutes.

"Two grilled cheese sandwiches and a glass of orange juice for you." the flight attendant announced as she placed them on Desiree's tray.

Desiree looked at the meal at her tray stunned. This had to be Jon. Only Jon knew about her eating schedule.

"You look like you've never seen a grilled cheese before." the flight attendant laughed. "The attractive man said that you could use something to eat." was what she said, before leaving her with her meal.

With the flight attendant's hint of an attractive man, she knew for sure that it was Jon, who gave her this meal. She looked across the aisle and mouthed thank you. Jon nodded and motioned for her to eat. Desiree smiled.

"Are you going to finish that?" Colby asked, pointing at the sandwiches.

Des nodded yes and took a small bite out of a sandwich. She did her best to swallow and not be tempted to stick a finger down her throat.

When Desiree and The Shield arrived into their suite, Desiree went inside her hotel room and began to type away at her journal entry. The topics that came up were about her eating disorder progress, how Jon was being helpful the past week and her experience in Japan so far.

"Desiree."

She looked up to find Jon standing by her door. Des closed her laptop quickly when she heard Jon call her name, before giving him her attention.

"Yes, what do you need me to do?" she asked him as she sat Indian style on her bed.

"I was wondering if you can call for a taxi ride to the GYM in the morning." Jon asked her.

Desiree reached over to her nightstand to pick up her phone. "A ride for four people?" she asked him, having her phone prepared to dial.

"A ride for five." he corrected her and quickly walked out of her room to avoid a confrontation.

When she had heard Jon say 'five', her jaw dropped as she went after Jon in his hotel room. She stood by his doorway.

"Who did you invite without advising me first?" was the first thing she asked, when she arrived by his doorway.

Jon sat down on the edge of his bed. "I have to advise you in who I can invite?" he asked the intern.

Des crossed her arms in protest. "As your intern, I need to be alerted with who else you invite with you guys."

"I invited Antonio Cesaro to come with us to the GYM. Look Desiree, this could benefit you. It can help with you being social. And besides, at the doctor's office last week, I told you that there was someone that I wanted you to meet. Antonio is who I want you to meet."
