Secret Desires

CHAPTER 17

  It was morning and I sat in my room checking through my stuff if I'd pack everything I needed.

After making sure my all stuff was complete, I headed downstairs with my luggage and as always, I was the last person to get ready.

I suddenly heard a car honk and I rushed out rolling my suitcase behind me.

"I know I know, I took long and I'm sorry" I quickly said as I shut the front door behind me and ran over to the back seat of the car.

.........

  It wasn't long before we arrived at the airport. We got out of the car which was to be shipped over the next day. We also got all our bags before entering  the building.

.........

"I think we're in the wrong place" I told Isaiah as we walked into what seemed to be first class.

"My dad wanted to send the private jet over to pick us up but I didn't want any of that, I'm happy just flying first class" he said as a smirked played on his lips while mine just parted in pure intimidation.

"Okay" I said lowly and he just winked and sat down.

I wanted to take a seat next to him but Monique beat me to it. I just awkwardly coughed and sat somewhere else.

..........

  It took seven hours but we finally arrived. It was the beautiful city of Paris. The lights, the smell, the people, everything was beautiful in France.

  Immediately we got our bags, we stepped in the crowd of people trying to exit the airport.

"Come on" Isaiah whispered taking my hand in his and leading us somewhere else.

  I looked ahead and saw a middleaged man in a suit holding up a sign that said Mateo. I squinted as the man smiled at me, I looked up at the smiling face of Isaiah as we got to the man.

"Bienvenue Monsieur" the man said bearing a thick French accent as he bowed slightly.

welcome sir

"Merci Arthur" he said with a warm smile and motioned towards the luggage.

Thank you Arthur

"Oui Monsieur" the man replied taking our bags and leading us out through the exit.

Yes sir

  We walked silently out and I stopped to marvel at the beautiful city of Paris, everything was so fancy.

"Keith" Isaiah called out to me and I flinched a bit before jogging over to him. He was standing by the man who was leaning against a Limo.

"Is that our ride?" I asked in pure shock as my jaw dropped.

"Uh hun" he said with a welcoming smile.

"Wait what about Monique?" I asked closing my mouth afterwards.

"She left with her own driver, it's a tradition not to see your partner till the actual event which is in two days" he said as the man took our bags towards the back of the the Limo.

"Shall we go then?" was all he said and I nodded allowing an embarrassing giggle to escape from my lips.

........

  The ride to where ever we are now was amazing, it was night time and the streets looked beautiful, I wouldn't mind getting stuck in traffic at night in a city like this.

"We're here" he said with a slight chuckle snapping me out of my trance.

"Is this our hotel?" I asked as we both got out and he snickered playfully.

"No, it's my parent's house" he said I did a double take as I slowly spun getting a good view of the premises.

"Come on" he said and I noticed the man ride the limo towards another direction.

"Where's he going?" I asked myself but Isaiah replied.

"Underground parking" he whispered in my ear making me flinch a bit.

"Mkay" I muttered and he put his arm around my shoulder and led me towards the main front door.

   Immediately we walked past the beautifully crafted French doors, I was thrown aback by the impressive grandeur.

  Everything looked expensive, I wouldn't ever imagine living in a place like this. Everything looked so fancy, the chandelier, the marble floors, the man that was heading downstairs, the..wait what!?

"Isaiah!" he roared out, he like literally roared.

  As he reached the foot of the stairs, he spread his arm out for a hug. I awkwardly stood there as he hugged Isaiah. As they hugged, I noticed how the huge man seemed to swallow Isaiah up in his embrace, the man was big and scary looking, he oozed raw dominance even more than Isaiah, good thing I only have eyes for Isaiah.

  I noticed how stiff Isaiah was during the hug, it was almost as though the man was making him nervous or atleast uncomfortable so I assumed he wasn't a relative, atleast not a close one.

"You look good" the man said as he pulled away making Isaiah nod stiffly.

"How um...have you..uh..been?" Isaiah said making it sound like a weird question. He was definitely nervous.

"Good uh...you?" the man asked equally as awkwardly.

  Isaiah nodded and then the man nodded, they just started exchanging weird glances and nodding at nothing. They were both smiling but it was obvious none of it was genuine.

  The tenson in the hair thickened second by second until I couldn't take the awkwardness any longer.

"Ahem" I fake coughed making Isaiah gasp deeply and look up at me as if I had just saved him from drowning.

"Dad, this is my ....uh....my..." he stopped as he began to stutter at the end. I wondered if he had the same kind of relationship Dex has with his dad.

"Personal Assistant" I said completely saving the utterly stranded man before me.

"Yes yes, my assistant" he said patting me on my back.

"Keith" I said outstretching my arm to the larger male.

"Andros" he said firmly gripping my hand in an authoritative handshake.

"Tiny hands there, son" he chuckled looking down at the handshake, my hand was no where in sight.

  I just laughed a bit and we both withdrew our hands.

"How was the flight? I hope it wasn't too filthy in first class? Did Monique tell you about her surprise? What about the.." Isaiah cut him off.

"Dad!" he half yelled.

  Both men just stood silently staring at each other, Isaiah looked like he was a bit scared and his dad just had that really intimidating dominant face on.

  The older man just sighed and Isaiah let out a breath of relief. My own breathing hitched when he turned to speak to me.

"Follow me" he said motioning me with his finger.
