Chapter 26
Crystal felt her eyes widened in amazement, astounded by where Leonardo had brought her too.
Surprise washed over her face as she stared jaws ajar at the huge scenery before her eyes.
It was an airport. He brought her to a freaking airport.
She fed her eyes on the huge aircrafts and her ears twitched to their boisterous noise.
Watching some planes take off and some landing, Crystal had her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Was he going to show her round the airport?—she thought to herself.
Or was he planning on shipping her off to a faraway country like Columbia to be a slave?
The surprise that had webbed over her face had now been completely erased by fear which settled in her features.
Where was he planning on taking her too?
Her eyebrows were pulled up together in sudden panic and fear.
“L-leonardo w-where are you taking me too?”Crystal asked in apprehension.
“Relax Bella. You will see”he said cooly and walked out of the limousine, Crystal following suit.
Once down from the limousine, Leonardo placed his large hands on Crystal’s back causing her to shiver and giving her multiple goosebumps as they began heading towards the entrance of the airport.
Two men approached them, one was younger than the other. The older one was claded in Grey suit outfit, putting on what seemed like recommended glasses. He had pepper coloured hair and a stubble to match his advanced age.
The younger man was taller and in Armani suit. His chestnut brown hair was a little messy but it fitted his features well.
“Delighted to see you once again Mr Constanzo” The older man greeted formally with enthusiasm and high spirits.
The two men offered Leonardo their hands and did same to Crystal.
Crystal just stared tongue tied.
Was he really planning on shipping her far away?
“Your jet awaits you as you had requested”The younger man spoke with personification.
“Good job, thank you Rocco and Alfonso” Leonardo replied.
“Right this way” the younger man motioned with his hands as they both began leading Crystal and Leonardo into the huge airport that was bustling with activities.
“No need for security checks as usual” he added. Crystal watched the people in the airport move like a tide. Sounds of people chattering and various announcements echoed all around the airport.
The men walked fairly speedily as if they were in some sort of rush whilst Leonardo walked behind with Crystal, his hand still placed on her back.
He could have easily walked ahead of her but she knew he was slowing down in pace as a result of her weak strides.
It took some time before they could get to the runway. Once there, they passed the security, a couple of doors and headed towards a flight of stairs before they finally came out to enter one of those small airport cart like vehicles.
Everything felt so surreal to Crystal. She still felt very much skeptical about Leonardo bringing her to this airport and his strangely nice behaviour towards her.
Where the hell was he taking her too? She fervently prayed her suspicions weren’t true and that Leonardo was not planning on flying her off to somewhere far to become a slave to some foreign man.
“Crystal”Leonardo called out.
Crystal regained herself and realised that Leonardo had already gotten off the cart, his hand reaching for hers.
She grasped it hesitantly and stepped out. Her jaws droped on seeing the enormous jet that stood right in front of them.
“Come on Crystal. Do you want to stand in the runway all day?”Leonardo rhetorically asked to a gawking Crystal.
Crystal quickly closed her parted lips and her face got flushed in embarrassment. She hadn’t realise she had her mouth at agape from staring so intensely at the huge aircraft before her eyes.
” Uh–yeah.. I’m coming. But will you tell me where you are taking me to?”Crystal asked once they had begun walking towards the plane’s staircase.
“Nope. But all you need to know is that I took some days off from work to give you this treatment so you should enjoy it”he winked mischievously.
Crystal gulped. “Hmm okay”she replied nervously as they reached the bottom of the plane stairs.
The interior was as breath taking as she had imagined it–if not more.
It looked like a living room–a huge expensive living room.
Golden lights illuminated it coupled with the fact that it had huge spaces in between the seats.
The walls were coloured coffee brown with in depth white lines forming a pattern. The floor felt so soft underneath her palm slippers.
She gazed down at it. It was covered in soft wisteria carpet.
Her eyes then trailed to the left part of the jet that had about eight syrup brown seats, each with setbelt.
Opposite it was a scarlet red lenthy couch with fluffy pillows to match it.
The jet also had a mini bar and also a bed covered perfectly with purple sheets.
A huge flat screen tv was placed at the centre. At the end of the jet stood a door, which probably led to the toilet and probably a shower–she wouldn’t be surprised if his jet had one.
Crystal was at lost for words. Every thing felt too good to be true.
“Let us seat bella” Leonardo said to her, taking her by the hand to the lengthy scarlet red couch.
“Wow this is amazing” Crystal breathed out as she felt the plane take off.
Leonardo laughed. “Have you ever been on a plane before? You look so amazed”
Crystal shook her head sadly. “I haven’t. Um–we–uhm… in my family.. my mum never had enough money to actually afford domestic flights” Crystal confessed, her eyes darting to the ground before buckling her seat beat.
Leonardo noticed the change in her facial expression and body language as his own expression turned softer.
“Well that’s not something to be shy about. There is a first time for everything”Leonardo said with a soft smile which took Crystal aback, her eyes snapping to meet his.
Leonardo leaned in more into the couch and turned his face to meet Crystal’s.
“You really did loved your mum yes?”Leonardo asked curiously, sounding very interested in hearing Crystal reply even though he clearly knew what the answer would be.
“I loved her so much. I miss her everyday of my life. She was the perfect description of a hard working and submissive wife”Crystal replied proudly with a broad smile.
Leonardo had a smile form on his face listening to her sing praises of her mother. Crystal noticed it and hiked brows at him.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Have you um seen your mother over the years?” Crystal felt tempted to ask.
After all she did tell him about her own gloomy past.
He gave a sharp inhale and a slow exhale, widening his legs more and running his hands through his dark hair. “She died some years ago. After she left with her lover”
Crystal gasped. She didn’t know what to say. Leonardo probably must have passed through a lot growing up.
“And your father? Is… he umm”crystal had her voice trailed off not knowing how to complete her question.
“He is alive”Leonardo finished for her. “But not in this country”
“Well let’s just say he retired and had to leave the country for his dear son to take over his dirty job”Leonardo mused.
Crystal was about speaking when a woman approached them both.
“She must be the air hostess” Crystal thought.
Her pointed heels made soft clicks as she swayed her hips towards them.
She had a pair of black transparent tights coupled with a tight black skirt that was above her knee and matching black blouse.
Her blonde hair was left to fall and her face wore a thick layer of makeup.
“Nice to see you Mr Leonardo” She spoke sultrily, fluttering her fully coated eyelashes at him and bitting the bottom of her glossy lips.
Crystal felt slightly insecure noticing how beautiful she was. The hostess paid little attention to Crystal and entirely focused on Leonardo.
Who wouldn’t? He was like a Greek god.
“What would you like to drink?” She added with a smile, this time throwing Crystal a distasteful look.
“Whiskey and give her a strawberry drink with ice”Leonardo replied, shutting her off immedately.
She masked her disappointment and put up a stoic expression.
“Sure. Nice to see you once again”she was relentlessly trying to flirt with Leonardo but he paid no heed to her.
Leonardo gave her a nod rather than reply and Crystal watched her walkway in disappointment, her lips pouting childishly.
A smug smile appeared on Crystal face.
Why did she feel relaxed knowing Leonardo didn’t pay the hostess any attention.
Was she feeling jealous?
“She seems nice”Crystal lied tried to mask the fact that she felt insecure of the hostess.
“She is one of those sluts I took out”Leonardo spat carelessly.
“Don’t call her that. It’s wrong to degrade women by your words and actions. You did that to me several times in the strip club and by calling me a maid in your party”Crystal chided making Leonardo give her am apologetic look in his eyes.
“Besides you took her out? To where?” Crystal added curiously.
Leonardo gave a sly grin. “L’ho scopata”
“I have no clue what you just said”Crystal replied unfazed.
“I fucked her”Leonardo replied grinning.
“I can show you if you want”He added huskily, whispering into her ears.
Crystal felt her face turning red and she let out a short gasp.
Her cheeks got drained of its colours at Leonardo sensual statement.
“Stop that”she nervously chided, her eyes darting to the window, watching the clouds soar with them.
Leonardo gave a hearty laugh.
Leonardo was showing off his playfull side. This was definitely going to be a very long flight for both of them.
