Invisible String

The Flight Attendee

After having the dinner, Taylor goes to pack their suitcases and Joe makes their daughter go to bed, her new bed. He tells her some goodnight stories and soon she falls asleep cuddling with her favourite doll.

"Do you need help?" He asks Taylor entering her bedroom.

"No I'm almost done," She mumbles.

"Mom called again. I didn't tell her that you two are coming with me."

"Well it's better that way."

"Maybe," He shrugs, "Also we are going to stay at our penthouse. They'll be the ones visitting us. I've called your parents too." She notices how he still calls it 'their' penthouse and not just his.

"Didn't they ask you anything?"

"No I just said I'll explain everything to them at once."

"Oh."

"Also I don't want you or our daughter to feel uncomfortable. So it's better that way."

"Thanks for thinking about us," She looks up at him from the pile of clothes, to showcase her genuine smile.

"Don't say that."

After she's done packing up her and Joy's stuff, she starts making the bed. For the first time today, after years they'll be sleeping together at night, without Joy in between them and honestly it's making her nervous. Well she did the mistake of sleeping with him again and now there's no going back...She doesn't even know if she wants to call it a mistake.

However, turning off the lights, she lies down on the bed, facing on the other side. Old memories start creeping back inside her head again as she breathes in the scent of his strong cologne.

"Taylor," Joe whispers pulling her body closer to him, hiding his nose on the crook of her neck. She sighs.

"What are we now?" She feels his hot breathe on her skin as he throws out the question, just like that, so randomly.

She turns around.

"I don't know," She whispers looking at him.

"I want you."

"That's a bold move," She chuckles placing her hand on his stubble, "I've broken up with Sam today."

"You did? Finally!" His eyes lit up.

"You seem happy about it."

"Well of course. Have you seen the way he treats Joy? If it wasn't for you, I would've hit his face long time ago."

"No need to go so far now. He's gone."

"That means we are back?" He grins.

"No silly," She giggles.

"I want a second chance with you. Please babe," He holds her face desperately.

"I want to take things slowly this time Joe," She sighs, "We can have fun together but I don't want to label us as anything. Can we just please be like this?"

"So what are we gonna tell our family?"

"We are just two divorced partners to them, nothing else. Please try to understand my situation."

"Alright," He sighs and pulls her closer. He has waited three years for her. So few more months wouldn't hurt.

"Thanks."

"But you're mine already," He whispers placing a kiss on her lips.

"Joe can I tell you something?"

"Of course."

"Okay I'll tell you."

"Yes please tell me."

"Your beard is causing irritation to my skin so please stay the hell away from me," She giggles turning around.

Joe chuckles at her words and grasps onto her body more firmly. He can never stay away from her.

The next day, at around 10 a.m. they arrive at the airport catch their flight.

"Daddy where are we going?" Joy asks him biting Potato's legs.

"We are going to London, you wanna meet your grandparents?"

"Who is London daddy?"

"It's a place baby. Daddy lives there."

"I wanna see," She widens her eyes.

"Yes you're going to see soon," He kisses her cheeks.

When they enter the jet, Taylor is welcomed with Joe's favourite attendee again. She's still here? Taylor rolls her eyes in irritation as she takes her seat.

"Hi Joe," The flirtious girl speaks up. There she goes again. Thirsting over her man. Wait her man? No.

"Hi Chloe, miss me?" Joe grins. Does he not understand that she's flirting with him? Or does he want to flirt with her too?

"Oh I miss you all the time," She smirks placing her hand on his bicep. It was her dream to touch his biceps one day.

"Well I don't," He shrugs.

"That was rude but... Is this your daughter?" She asks him looking at Joy.

"Yes."

"You've got those genes man...donate some sperms."

Taylor snaps her head and looks at her in disbelief.

"Um Joe can you please come here?" Taylor scoffs taking his attention.

He looks at her and nods. Coming near her seat, he places Joy on her seat beside Taylor.

"Do you need something?" He asks her.

"Sit down."

"What?"

"I said sit down and don't you dare to get up again."

"Okay mom," He looks at her being amused and sits down on the seat across her, grinning.

She's jealous.
