Intoxicated

Chapter 1

DAWN

It was already 8pm the time we arrived at Falcone-Borsellino, Palermo's airport. Night greeted us the time we were at the loading area waiting for the chauffeur to arrive. "Where the heck is the car?!" I scoffed starting to get impatient. "Just wait, okay?" Ugh! I hate this! Why is he even calm?! We haven't book any hotel yet! Plus the chauffeur is taking too long already! "No." I firmly replied.

"Look Dawn, it's just 2 mins, and you're already becoming furious." Shit! Impatient me!
I rolled my eyes at him trying to look away in his eye's direction.

I got in the first black car with Jason while my PA and his secretary rode the following car after ours.

"Told you." He said smirking.
"Well, in what hotel are you taking us?" I asked trying to show his flaw.

"Don't worry, Sir Philip will be on it. He reserved one.....Ughmmm..." He said as he laid in his seat comfortably.

"Will all the Gadovannis attend the associate's gathering?"

"I don't know. Why? Are you expecting him there?"

Silence entered.

"No."

"Roschiana will be the representative, are you excited to witness her presence?" He asked proudly making me annoyed.

"Jacob.....Please....Just stop."

Flashback

I was scared of what would possibly happen.
A lot of questions bothered me.

("Dawn, let's talk." he said on the other line as cold as ice.)

Hmm...Maybe it's just my thoughts, it could be a surprise.

I climbed the staircase that led me to his floor. The 3rd floor. I passed through the other rooms before reaching his, room 320.

I was about to use the key he gave me to open his room door, but instead I informed him I already arrived.

CLINT

Where are you?

Just arrived. I'm going in.

No. Wait for me outside.

He got out the room as soon as I texted him.

"Wait for me, inside the car. Here's the key, F34 at the 2nd floor parking area."

His words. It made me anxious.

I'm thinking too much. I should just brush it off.
If I could.

"Dawn, we're here!" Jason informed as loud as he could making me notice he's out of the car.

•••

"What? We're sharing one room?!" I shrieked.
"Yes."
"NO! I'll have my own room than sleeping with you!" I yelled hardly denying his casual answer.

"Sir Philip gave us only one room. Don't think about it, I can sleep on the sofa, or rather get an additional bed." He said.

"Well, I think that'll work. Where's Leah?"
"She's with my secretary, they'll sleep at a room reserved for them. Don't worry she'll be here staying outside our door at 6 AM."

I pondered upon the shower. Remembering things back again in my mind. Thinking about the positive things that could've happened.

"Are you done? You're taking too long."

"Too long? Well you do know patience is a thing, right?"

"I'm not interested." He replied.

As I finished bathing, I got out of the shower enclosure rolling my eyes onto Jason.
