Chapter 2 2.

"Is that Emily?" I heard my father call out over the phone.

"Yeah! She got the job!" My mom yelled, causing me to wince and pull the phone away from my ear.

"Hey hey! Bring on the expensive aged wines!" He cheered and Emily shook her head, face palming herself.

I love my parents.

"You can't drink, it's not good for you." She heard her mother scold over the phone.

"What are you my mother?"

"Only when you call me-"

"Bye guys!" I called out and practically ripped the phone from my ear before I was scarred for life by my parents... again.

Shaking my head and still ecstatic about the new job, I laughed just as the bus pulled up.

On the bus I busied myself on my phone, trying my best to keep my eyes from drifting up and into the eyes the blond male who has not taken his eyes off me since I stepped foot on the bus.

Every time I looked up, there he was. I was silently praying for the bus to reach my desired stop, and when it did it wasn't a moment too soon.

Practically dashing out of the bus, I barely had the chance to thank the driver.

Placing my bag on my right shoulder, I headed to the mall outlets where I bought a new luggage, something portable and fairly sized. Then I picked out some of my necessaries for the trip, then headed to the uniform shop Jenna had recommended where I Picked up four sets of clothing for the next two trips.

As I searched for some last minute items, my phone rang with an unknown number, skeptically I answered "hello?"

"Hi! Is this Emily?" Came a chipper female voice on the other side of the line.

"This is she." I answered carefully, sending an awkward look over my shoulder.

"Hi, this Karen, I was just calling to make sure you had everything ready. I believe Sophia should've provided you with a list of what you will need to bring, and after this call I will send you all the information about the airports we'll be traveling to and from."

"Hi Karen, yes I'm taking care of the last few things as we speak."

"Good, so usually you have to arrive an hour prior, but I need you there at least an hour and a half before, so we can properly introduce ourselves, you can tour the plane, and get an understanding of who travels with us on these trips."

"Okay, Sounds great." I replied, ready for the adventure.

"The next trip that we'll have to take, he's a very strict customer who's very specific, and so you have to be there at least two hours prior to take off so you can learn about his routine. After dropping off the Roberts, We can get in more details about the second client. But for now just head on home and get some rest." Karen explained carefully.

And with a "You got it." I confirmed, then after a few more prompts from Karen, the phone call ended.

Wrapping up my last few errands, I headed home.

When I finally arrived home, I plopped myself on the couch, dumping all my shopping bags on the floor.

I took off my shoes, taking my hair out of the restraints of the professional bun.

My long brown hair tumbled out of the hair tie and pins, my scalp instantly relaxing as I sighed in bliss. I sat for a while just going over the day before I decided to stand and pack.

I packed my extra uniform, toiletries, personal items and underwear, a towel, some extra clothes, my traveling documents as well as anything else I would need, including my charger and headphones.

Once I was sure I had everything I needed, I had a small dinner and enjoyed a few episodes of my current favorite Netflix show, then once I was getting ready to call it a night, I called my parents and checked on them, then bid them goodnight after my dad reminded me to pray.

After following with my nightly routine of snuggling in bed, muttering a quick sleepy prayer, I was out like a light.

Next morning my mind was literally shaken awake when the blaring of my alarm buzzed through my ears and into my brain.

Groaning, I quickly turned off my alarm, and blinked sleepily at my bedroom wall. I felt sleep trying to lure me back under but I jumped once more when my phone began to ring.

Placing the phone on my ear, I groaned out "hello?"

"Good morning!" Karen chirped in my ear, snapping any sleep I had away.

"I'm up! Oh my God am I late?" I found myself quickly sitting on my bed, ready to scurry to the shower.

"No, I was just calling to make sure you were awake. And to tell you that we understand that you don't yet have a reliable means of transportation, so one of the company drivers will he picking you up in about 30 minutes, and you will be dropped off at the airport." Karen explained, sounding very awake compared to me.

"Okay, thank you." I stated.

"Alright see ya in a bit. I can't wait to meet you!" She stated with a perky tone.

"Me too." I tried to smile, but I just couldn't match up to her level of energy this early in the morning.

Once the call was over, I dragged myself out of bed and trudged my way to the bathroom.

Once I saw myself in the mirror I made a face then laughed at my silliness.

Wasting no time to get ready, I brushed my teeth, fixed my hair in a low bun, and took a shower. Once I was done I put on my uniform, grabbed my purse and suitcase and was out the door just as the driver pulled up.

"Good morning, my name is Lewis, I'm with Sky High Incorporation. You must be Emily, welcome aboard." Greeted the young man with a kind smile. He was light skinned, well built, his black hair nicely kept.

"Nice to meet you." I replied with a smile of my own, shaking his extended hand.

"Allow me." He stated as he grabbed my suitcase, and placed it in the trunk of the car, then he opened the door for me and allowed me inside the car.
