Meant To Be

ALEX

”The fuck is that supposed to mean? Why was I not informed? Do you want to get fired Scott? Allora cazzo fai il tuo lavoro!! (then fucking do your job next time!)” I snapped, ending the call.

If I said I was angry, it would be an understatement. I’m furious.

I was supposed to travel in my private jet, but due to some issues which they didn’t detect beforehand I might add, I’m stuck here.

I took a seat and started typing to Rocco, my best friend and COO, about new developments in one of our products.

Sign. I need some caffeine in my system right now.

‘Hey, look at her. She has some sexy ass” I heard someone whisper when I went to order. I looked at them and saw the girl they were eyeing.

She was ordering something and I took my time to check her ass. And damn, it was the only good thing that happened to me today.

Her ass is indeed sexy. The cashier girl dropped the change, too busy ogling me and apologized to her.

“It’s okay, no problem” Her voice is so soft and husky. I clenched my jaw to control myself when she bent to take the change.

The fuck is wrong with me? When did I start checking a random girl’s ass?

” *whistle* Damn, wish I could smack that ass” This time that guy said out loud.

I didn’t notice her turning around at first, but when she started walking, I looked into her glaring eyes.

I frowned. Why is she glaring at me?

”Pervert” she muttered, walking past me.

Did she think –

I noticed that guy was about to grab her ass. I quickly caught his hand. “Wh–” I closed his mouth with another hand before he could utter a word.

“Shhhh..” I said, glaring at him and his friend, who looked terrified. He gulped, nodding his head.

When I was sure she was out of hearing range, I twisted his arm hard, my hand on his mouth went to the back of his head and slammed him on the nearest table, making him cry out of pain.

I bent down to his face. ” Try touching anyone like that again, I swear to God I’ll break every bone in your body. Inteso? (Understood?) ” I whispered, applying pressure on his hand. He whimpered, trying to nod his head.

I released him and noticed that everyone was staring at me with wide eyes. When I was about to order, I heard the flight announcement.

Shit! I groaned. So much for a coffee.

£ £ £

I closed my eyes and suppressed another groan as I entered the plane. I miss flying alone. This is all because of Scott.

”That fucker” I muttered, taking my seat. If he was not one of my trusted employees, I would have already fired his ass.

“Mamma! wash his mouth like you did to mine!! He is speaking forbidden words!!” Came an angry, cute voice from the back seat.

The fuck? I frowned.

When I was about to turn back, I saw her. She is sleeping next to me. The same girl that called me pervert.

I smirked. Never mind, I don’t miss flying alone that much.

“Shut up Vicky! Don’t disturb mom, she is tired, let her sleep.” I heard another voice.

This time I turned around and found two kids bickering but their sleeping mom was not there- my eyes widened with realization.

This girl is their mom? I quickly searched her fingers and I signed in relief when I found no ring. I don’t know why though. Maybe I was relieved that I didn’t check the ass of a married woman.

I put my elbow on the armrest using it to support my chin and looked at her. I took my time to check her all out. Never, I mean, never in my life I found a girl as beautiful as her.

Her eyelashes are thick and long enough for its shadow to touch her caramel cheeks. Her nose looks like a button though. I snickered. A cute button. Her lips are in naturally lightest shade of red in color and pouty. The craziest thing about her lips is, there is a tiny mole on them and another one on her chin. Her black hair is side braided, it reached her waist. She is not skinny or too curvy, but has the perfect size of breas-

“Stop checking out my mom!” The elder kid snapped at me from above. I looked up and saw him clinging on our seats glaring at me.

What’s with the glares? It’s the 2nd time in a row.

Well, what can I expect when I get caught while checking out her? A medal?

I was about to reply when we saw his mom sitting up straight. She looked at us in confusion. She looked cute with her big black doe eyes, which are mesmerizing by the way, her eyebrows are lightly pulled into a frown.

Her eyes widened when she noticed me.

She looked flustered for a second but composed herself really quickly, but I didn’t miss her blush. Damn, it’s the newest cute thing about her, as her blush is slightly noticeable only on her cheek bones. It’s like I’m watching a cartoon character. It made me smile unknowingly.

“Jay, are you okay? ” she asked the kid, now I know whose name is Jay.

Elder one – Jay.

What name did Jay use when he asked his brother to shut up?

Yeah, Vicky – the younger one. Noted.

I frowned, why am I taking notes? I shook my head. Something happened to me.

“Yeah mom, he is just being an idiot!” Jay said, glaring at me. Did he just- I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Jay! This is not how you speak to elders. What did I tell you?” She asked while deepening her frown, pursing her lips indicating that she was not pleased with his behavior.

“Give respect to elders”. Jay muttered, looking down.

” Then?” She raised her eyebrows.

“But mom, he is speaking bad words loudly and Vicky heard it!” He said, pointing at me like I had stolen his only toy.

What? I just muttered. It’s not your fault that you guys have good hearing!

She signed “So? You’ll call him an idiot? Don’t mind others Jay, we have a long flight ahead”.

No, he called me an idiot because he saw me checking out you.

“Okay mom” he said, rolling his eyes.

Rude.

She shook her head and got up, placing her right knee on the seat and climbed up, to check on Vicky.

I too looked at him from the small space between our seats. He is sleeping. She could have seen from her though.

Maybe she doesn’t want to get close to me.

That thought kind of irritated me.

Out of nowhere, the plane started to jerk due to turbulence, making her lose balance.

She fell back and forth, crashing into me. I wrapped my hand around her waist and grabbed the armrest with another to keep us steady.

This is just getting better and better.
