Jack is sitting in his office admiring the view of the Boston skyline at night. There is no one else there except him; well at least on the floors that he owned. Enjoy the peace and quiet along with a cigar and a brandy. It is in moments like this that Jack can think clearly. Strategize about his next business venture. Tonight his thoughts are not on business matters, but matters of the beautiful Queen of Le Martinique.

Since that night that's all Jack can think about is Jackie, reliving their night in his dreams. He can still hear her feathery voice calling out his name. Visualizing the way she bit her lip and dug her nails into his back. From looking in the mirror he has a couple of scars. He looks out the window and can't help but wonder what Jackie is doing now.

He has only talked to her a few times since that night three weeks ago. Their busy schedules didn't allow much time for them to talk like they wanted. In their brief conversation, Jackie told him how much she enjoyed their night. That she wants to see him again soon to talk about the school and also talk about other things. 

Jack's phone dings indicating that he has a text. He picks up the phone and sees it's from Jackie.

I will be in New York next week, my sister and I are visiting friends and are staying at the Carlyle 💋

Jack smiles and checks his schedule. Lucky for her Majesty; he already has a meeting in New York and it just so happens they will be staying in the same hotel.

—————
Jackie has just arrived at the Carlyle with her sister Lee when there is a knock at the door. She didn't know who it could be considering that only a few people knows she is there. She opens the door to see a man standing with a large bouquet of red roses.

"Thank you," she replies taking the flowers.

She smells them and smiles at the scent that fills her nose. When she sits the flowers down on the coffee table in the middle of the living room she notices a card.

24 roses one for each hour until we see each other again -  Jack

"Hey, Jackie, who are the roses from?" Lee asks standing at the counter that separates the kitchen from the living room.  

"Oh, they are from Mr. Kennedy, just a welcome gift to his country," Jackie says. Even though she and Lee are close she has yet to tell anyone about her and Jack. She hasn't even told her about her and Jack's rendezvous tomorrow. 

"That's very nice of him. I heard some Americans are very friendly," Lee says going into the fridge to grab a bottle of water. 

"Yes, I have heard that as well. So far my experience has been a good one..." Jackie says coming over to the counter and taking a seat on one of the stools. "Speaking of a good one, I'm meeting with Mr. Kennedy tomorrow to discuss some updates about the school and he wanted to introduce me to a few people he knows."

"Ok, I was planning on going to see the sights," Lee says, "what time do you think you will be back?"

"I don't know depending on how long this meeting with the people he wants me to meet will last," Jackie retorts.

Later on that night Jackie is lying in bed on her phone texting Jack. 

Jackie: I can't wait to see you too, I missed you

Jack: I've missed you too, especially having the opportunity to kiss those luscious lips.

Jackie: 😊  Being wrapped up in those strong muscular arms 

Jack: 💪😉

Jackie: Lol, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, good night

Jack: Good night
