Dealing with Delta (on hold)

Chapter 4

The party is being held at Libby's cousin's club. We were let in quick since we're VIPs and it is my party after all... sarcasm right there.

The bouncer looked at us and nodded for us to go in, that's my boy no words spoken yasss.

The three of us head to the right side of the club which is where all the people that are supposedly here for me and the left side is for other people who wanna party. Libby heads off to greet her cousin while Manny goes off to the bar to get us drinks. I find a couch and sit there on my phone. Checking my schedule for tomorrow. I have to go meet the Australian Minister of Defence to renew the contract that expires in a week. Then I have a charity eve- I'm interrupted as Manny places my drink on the table and I use the term places loosely. I look at him.

"Delta come on! You didn't dress up for the party, you haven't talked to anyone that's here and now you are actually working?!".

I sigh, "Why are you do dramatic, I was just checking my schedule for tomorrow because I need to see Xavier". 

"Ah that boy is too adorable for his own good". I grab my drink feeling the taste of wine hitting my taste buds. I'd kill for a vodka right now but I have to go to Canberra tomorrow morning well in a couple of hours it's already 9.

Manny gasps. I look at him and see him switching his sight between me and someone diagonally behind me. "Spit it out already, What?"

Next thing he starts giggling. I sigh. "Well, there's this cutie but I think he's the perfect match for you ah ah ah before you say anything listen. So he's wearing a business suit and you are wearing business attire. You only have one drink on the table and he only has one drink on the table. You are busy working on your phone and guess what so is he!" He gives me a little playful glare when he mentions me working. 

I just raise my left eyebrow at him, he rolls his eyes "Fine, don't look but he's a fine piece of man". 

"Sure Manny get his number why don't you? Don't. Say anything. I leave for Canberra tomorrow morning, since you aren't coming with me take care of Libby okay?"

"Wait you're leaving already?" He looks at his watch, "It's so early".

"Yes, now tell Libby I said bye since I'm not gonna be able to find her and tell her I'll be away for a couple of days". I give him  a quick hug.

"OMG, he's leaving too, you two are so in sync". I shake my head but don't turn around. 

I didn't think Manny and Libby would end up being friends, but then I guess I should have expected it since Libby would visit me all the time and Manny would always be bringing me files at home. They saw each other pretty often so yeah it happened. 

I walk over to my car, it's a Black Jaguar F-Type 400 Sports coupe. 

It's a luxury sports car but at the same time it's not too noticeable well sometimes. It's not that I don't love cars, I just bough a Red 2018 Bentley Continental Super-sports convertible but that's for big events and not something I drive everyday. 

Even though I probably shouldn't be driving my Jag everyday either. I don't need unwanted attention. I turn on my engine and feel the vroom as my car hums to life. I hear a similar vroom and wonder if it's the man Manny was talking about. Wait why am I thinking about that. I shake my head and pull out of the parking lot and another car pulls out behind me. I get onto the highway with the car still following me. I change lanes and feel satisfied that it didn't follow pursue. I grab my phone and call Jasmine. Already knowing that the person I want will pick up the phone since its only 9:20.

"I'm angwy", comes the innocent voice of my little nephew.

"Aw, Xavi baby, Auntie is sorry, you know I love you". I cooed. Genuinely smiling.

"I wuv you too".

"So what did my cutie do today". And just like that he starts talking about his play date at the park.

"Oh wow, you must have been so brave to go on the big slide alone". God I wish I could see him right now, I'd legit just squish him.

"Hey baby, give the phone to mummy quickly, I have a surprise for you".  I hear him squealing and Jasmine says, "What did you say that's got him so excited?"

"I told him I have a surprise for him but I wanted to get your permission first since you're his mum." I tell her.

"I'm going to Canberra in the morning for a meeting and I was thinking to bring Xavier along and him and I could spend some time together?"

"Of course, I wouldn't say no, he loves spending time with you. And he's  been a bit sad for the past week since he didn't get to talk to you." I take the exit and start to feel bad about not being able to talk to him. I notice the car from the club take the same exit. But then it turns right and I turn left.

"But, don't worry I'll pack his bag and you can pick him up in the morning. How many days am I packing for by the way?" I pull into my garage.

"Well, I was going to be there for a day or two but pack for 3 days and make sure you pack a tux for him, he's gonna be my date to a charity event." I quickly make adjustments for to the tickets and hotel bookings. I like to do things on my own and since Manny is out partying I can't ask him to do it.

"No worries, I'll pack some extra clothes just in case."

"Great, the flight is at 7:30am so I'll pick him up at 6, don't tell him where I'm taking him, just say he's going on a work trip with me."

I end the call as I head into my house. My solitude. My zone without any interruptions. 

I head to bed and quickly text mum.

'I'm going to Canberra tomorrow and brining Xavier along. I'll call you tomorrow after my meeting is over. Love you, Goodnight xx.'

I set my alarm for 5:00am. I'll have to pack in the morning. 

My phone buzzes, Mum: ' Have a safe flight sweetie, take care of you both. FaceTime me tomorrow! Love you too, Goodnight xx.'

I put some meditation music on to help me sleep and I'm out.
