you have taught me and try to apply it in the best way that I can.”
“That’s what I was hoping for but remember with great power comes great responsibility...hahahahahaha.” Even I knew where that saying came from and we both had a good laugh as the sentiment was exactly what was needed at the time.
I was still giggling after talking to her as I went to my bedroom and started packing for the trip in a few days. I didn’t know if Ethan was aware that I was coming on the trip but that was his problem and he would just have to deal with it when he saw me.
For the next two days, I never heard one single word from Ethan but Sophie had contacted me and we were fast becoming friends. Something told me that Sophie would be a wealth of information about what made Ethan tick and I wasn’t about to let that opportunity slip through my fingers. In spite of her knowing Ethan very well, I did enjoy chatting with Sophie as she was always such a ray of sunshine each time that we spoke.
I stood at the curb waiting for my pick up. I had only brought two small suitcases as I have been known to go overboard and bring too much. Although I didn’t think that three outfit changes per day and a couple of extra items to provide additional choice were too much, I had decided that less was more and only packed what was very necessary.
In the distance, I could see vehicles coming towards me and it would be just a matter of time before they arrived. I wondered what kind of reaction Ethan would have when he saw me or was he already informed that I would be joining them? Maybe he was convinced to go because I was coming, although that would be just wishful thinking on my part. He was the type of man who did things on his own terms.
A black Tahoe pulled up beside me and Mark got out from the driver’s side and came around to collect my luggage and put it into the back of the SUV. He sheepishly looked at me and I tried to remain impassive but you could feel the tension in the air between us. It was his meddling that caused all of this to happen in the first place and I still wasn’t quite sure that I was willing to forgive him for making me feel like a fool. I had learned from my therapist that my friends had my best interest at heart and just wanted me to be happy.
The side door opened and Ethan was there wearing a black leather coat. He looked amazing as usual as he motioned for me to climb into the back seat with him. From his reaction, there was no way that he didn’t know I was coming. That was a little disappointing considering the fact that I was looking forward to the surprise reaction on his face.
“Come, Emily, sit beside me quickly, the plane will be leaving shortly and we have to be there in twenty minutes or they will take off without us.”
“Don’t tease her, Ethan. It’s a charter flight and they can’t leave until we get there.” Ronnie had put him in his place and he didn’t look happy about it at all. In fact, a silence penetrated the SUV and he turned away from Ronnie and me to look out the window at the surrounding countryside. If I didn’t know any better I would say that he was pouting but that would make him a stubborn child.
The airport was a small one outside the city and the jet was already fueled and ready to go on the tarmac. The pilot was standing on the stairs waving to us to come closer. The truck slowed beside the stairs and finally came to a stop. We all got out and Ethan and Mark became our porters taking the luggage and carrying them up into the plane.
“Em, I just wanted to tell you that I’m so glad that you have come with us. Maybe you and Ethan can find some time together considering the fact that we put you both in the same room.”
I turned to her angrily and said, “Why the hell did you do that? It’s not like he asked me to spend the evening with him and won’t this put him on the spot?”
“I hope that it would and your spot is exactly where he should be.” Nudging me in the
