Chloe Knight is a caregiver to her seriously ill sister who was recently diagnosed with leukaemia, not too long after their parents deaths. She went looking for a job and got one working with billionaire Jai Marshall. Once he learns about Chloe's si...
"I was thinking that we could go to the cinema and watch something. I want to get away from here for a bit."
"Okay," he whispers. "Should we invite Nate?"
"Yes, I want things to get back to normal between us." I turn towards Nate. "We're going to the movies after dinner. Do you want to come?"
A smile spreads across his face. "Sure, its been a while since I've seen a movie that didn't go into a DVD player."
"I'm sorry."
He shakes his head. "It's not your fault. It's just something that we had to deal with having our sister sick."
Laura walks back to our table with our drinks. She pours two glasses for Jai and me.
"Thanks," I take the glass from her and I turn towards my group. "Aleysa, we will always remember you, little sister."
"Aleysa," Nate and Jai say together.
We drink.
I move back to my seat as dinner is places on the table.
Laura looks at everyone. "If you need anything, please let me know. Enjoy your meal." She walks away from the table and she takes orders from other patrons that have walked in after us.

After dinner, we pay for the meal and then we walk out.
Pulling the keys out of my handbag I put it in the sports car that I drove to San Francisco.
Nate and Jai climb into the car. I pull out of the parking lot and head to the cinema.
When we get there Jai pays for the tickets and then we walk inside.
I line up at the concession stand and wait for my turn.
Nate stands next to me. "Can you get me some malteasers and snickers bar?"
When it's my turn I order an extra-large popcorn and one Coke and one Diet Coke.
I give the drinks and chocolates to Jai and Nate.
Jai places his free hand on the small of my back and he leads the way to the cinema that the movie is playing in. Jai and I sit in the back row.
Nate sits in front of us.
I lie my head on Jai shoulder as the movie begins.

When the movie is over Jai drives us back to Camp Tranquility.
Nate steps out of the car. He hugs me. "Goodnight, sis. I will see you tomorrow."
"Good night, Nate. We're going to The Golden Gate Bridge tomorrow. We will meet you at the restaurant for breakfast at 9 am."
Nate walks to his room.
Jai holds my hand as we walk to our room. "I had fun today with you. When Nate goes to University it will be just the two of us and we can do whatever we want without interruption."
I smile. "I'm looking forward to spending more time alone with you too.
Jai and I climb into bed and we fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, I wake up feeling queasy. I run into the bathroom and lean over the toilet and throw up.
"Chloe?" Jai yells.
I throw up and again.
The door to the bathroom opens. "Chloe," he places his hand on my back. "Are you alright?"
"I think I ate something off or the wine didn't agree with me."
When I'm done throwing up, Jai fills a cup of water for me and gives it to me. "Rinse your mouth and then drink some water."
I rinse my mouth out with water and then brush my teeth. I fill up the cup and take it to my room. I climb into bed next to Jai and fall back to sleep.
