purse, I head downstairs to grab a snack to munch on in the car. I toss some chocolate covered pretzels into my purse and a bottle of water from the fridge and head out to the Audi.
I’ve lost ten pounds since my accident, and find it hard to eat big meals because of my anxiety, and from my stomach shrinking from barely eating these last few weeks. I’ve been trying to snack and eat tiny meals throughout the day to try and help me get my body back to normal.
I’ve gotten a good routine down. I soak in the hot tub when I wake up, eat, and then walk up to the stables and visit the horses. After lunch, I walk a mile on the treadmill, followed by another soak in the hot tub. Dr. Willow suggesting that was the best thing she’d ever told me. It makes my ribs feel a hundred times better. It doesn't help the weight issue, but it's getting my strength back up.
It’s going to be hard getting back into shape and going to kick boxing again once I’m healed. At least walking everyday on the treadmill makes me feel energized. I feel like I’m at least doing something to stay healthy. But what I wouldn’t give to kick the shit out of something right about now, imagining Zak’s face.
Jerome pulled up beside Kayden’s jet at Ellington Field and carried our bags up into the plane. Jax’s car was just pulling up with Brooklyn when I stepped onto the stairs of the jet. Before the car is even in park, the back door swings open and Brooklyn comes bursting out of it. “Ahhhhh, Bahamas here we come!” She screams running towards me.
“I see you’re just a tad bit excited about this getaway?” I laugh. Reaching for my hand, she drags me up the stairs into the plane. Jerome and Jax board the plane behind us, with our bags in tow. They quickly step around us to put our bags into the bedroom.
My heart instantly races when I spot Kayden standing in the doorway of the cockpit talking with the pilot. “Hey sexy. Miss me?” I ask, pinching his butt as we walk by. I flash him a smile and give him a wink as Brooklyn and I make our way towards the seats. Dixon and Jax are talking with an airport attendant who’s checking their passports. We quickly fish ours out and give them to him.
This flight will definitely be interesting with Dixon, Jax and Brooklyn. She’s smack dab in the middle of a big hunky man sandwich. As if she read my mind Brooklyn yanks me back a few steps whispering into my ear. “Oh. My. Gawd! Please remind me why I am not killing Kayden right now? What was running through his mind when he asked Dixon to join us? I haven’t spoken to him in almost a week. The biggest douche bag just below Logan blew me off for some blonde, big-boobed bimbo last weekend!”
Turning around, I face her so our conversation can be as private as possible in this tiny cabin. “Hey, you knew what road you were going down the minute you started chasing Mr. Southern Playboy himself. So you can’t blame Kayden, because you, missy, did this to yourself.”
Rolling her eyes she stomps off towards the mini bar. “I need something fuckin’ strong, like now.” She mumbles under her breath as she mixes herself a drink. I can’t help but be amused, at least her love life dramatics will help distract my mind for the next three days.
Handing us back our passports, the attendant heads down the stairs, leaving the airplane. “We are one step closer to getting the hell outta here!” I squeal, dragging Brooklyn and her handful of booze over to the leather seats. “Hey guys, you ready for some fun in the sun?” I ask, looking from Dixon to Jax.
Jax smiles at me, “Yes, I can’t wait. Kayden, Dixon and I are going snorkeling tomorrow. What are you ladies planning on doing?” His Australian accent is so thick. Every time I hear it, it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. I have a weakness for accents.
Brooklyn and I both answer simultaneously, “Tanning,” instantly bursting out
