*WES' POV*
I brush my fingers through my already messed up hair. It's 5:00 pm and I still have a lot of work do.
Typical friday.
I call Rachel through my intercom and a minute later she comes running into my office.
"I need you to prepare my jet... I'm flying out tonight."
"Where to sir ?" She asks.
I hand her a piece of paper pertaining details about the flight. She goes through it then gives me a simple nod before leaving.
I pick up my phone and call Chicago. She picks on the third ring.
"Did you have to take long ?" I ask her in a not so amused tone.
"Come on... I was in the shower. Do you need anything ?" She asks and I find myself hesitating.
"Uuuhhmm... we're going on a business trip for the weekend."
The line goes quite for a minute before she answers.
"Okay. When are we leaving ?"
"Tonight"
The line goes quite again. This time much longer than the last.
"Chicago are you still there ?" I ask.
"Yes. I'm still here."
"Pack light clothes, " and with that I end the call and get back to work.
My father is the one who has been pilling me up with work in the name of responsibilities.
***
I leave the office at six and arrive at the mansion at eight.
I directly head to my room for a cold shower. Once I'm out of the shower I get dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt.
I then put on a huge grey jacket for the cold. I pick up my to-go bag and head to Chicago's room. After knocking twice I hear her shout a 'come in'. I find her seated on her bed reading a book.
"It's time to go."
***
"Where are we going ?" Chicago asks me for the hundreth time while pouting her lips but I just smile at her.
She looks so cute doing that.
We are in my green Audi heading for the airport. Edward is the one behind the wheels.
"We're here sir." He announces.
I look out the window and see my private jet from a far. Once we get into the private area of the airport Edward brings the Audi to a stop.
We get out and it has stopped snowing. Sharon, the air hostess comes out of the jet with two men who carry our bags to the jet.
She greets me and Edward first then introduces herself to Chicago. I let Sharon take Chicago into the jet while I remain behind to converse a little with Edward.
"What should I say when I'm asked about your whereabouts sir ?" Edward asks me, concern written all over his face.
He knows how angry my father will be once he finds out I'm out for pleasure rather than work.
"I already talked to Chad and Rachel. They're to say I'm out on business in Florida. That's all. My father will be the only one asking for me.
Alex and Jean are way too busy planning their wedding to notice I'm not around for two days."
***
The first thing I notice once I get inside the jet is a sleeping Chicago. She's curled up on the couch. I check the time on my rolex.
9:15 pm
She looks peaceful... too bad I have to wake her.
"Chicago... Chicago !" I call as I lightly shake her.
"Mmmh..."
I smile at her sleepy face." We want to take off. I need you all buckled up."
***
Once Chicago buckled the jet took off. Our flight is to take exactly two hours forty seven minutes so I let Chicago sleep all through.
I wake her up again once we're near our destination. She buckles herself to the chair directly opposite from mine.
"Wow... where are we Wes ?" She asks while staring out the window.
But before I could answer, Sharon beats me to it.
"Welcome to the Bahamas."
