Sorry for the long wait for this chapter!
********************

Johan gave one last wave to his family and got in the car. I sat in the back seat with him while the chauffeur drove us to the airport. It was still quite early in the morning so I wasn't surprised when Johan shifted and rested his head on the car door he seemed to be comfortable but to top it off, he threw his legs over mine. I laughed and rested my head on the back of my seat. I was too excited to sleep so I put in headphones and turned on my music to play from Queen B's playlist. I pulled out War and Peace and read while Beyoncé's songs played.
As I was getting deeply immersed in the book I felt a tap on my shoulder. I pulled out my headphones and looked at Johan

"I thought you were sleeping." I said.

"I was until the car stopped." He told me and pointed out the window. I was so into the book that I failed to realize we were at the airport already. I got out of the car and went around to open the door for Johan. I took his hand and we thanked the chauffeur before walking inside. "A private airport, Ted?"

"Only the best for you babe." I said. I had originally planned for us to fly at a regular airport but I learned a few days ago that my parents private jet had finished repairs and was tested safe to fly. So of course this was better than any gross public planes.

Paul hauled our suitcases behind us while Johan and I walked to the elevator. I put for top for and we began our ascent. At the top there was a total of three jets waiting and I led Johan to the largest one at the back.

"Your family owns this?" Johan asked in utter astonishment.

"Yup." I said. As we walked up to it, the captain, Amir, opened the door and dropped down the steps.

"Ted! So lovely to see you again!" He kissed both my cheeks which made me go red in the face and then he turned to Johan. "You must be the boyfriend I've heard so much about. Nice to meet you son!" Then he proceeded to kiss both of Johan's cheeks as well. Amir was always an excited fellow. "Come come!" He beckoned us on to the jet. As we stepped on, Amir took our bags from Paul and pulled them on to the plane. I waved goodbye to Paul before Amir pulled in the steps and closed the door.

"Welcome to Baxter Airlines! Destination-"

I coughed loudly before Amir could give away the secret. Johan glared at me but I just laughed and put my arm around his waist.

"Destination Unknown." Amir finished. "Sit back and relax and we will be there before you know it."

I gave Johan a minute to take in everything. Soft leather seating lined the plane and a snack bar waited at the back. Private sections at the rear of the plane lead to bedrooms for overnight flights and bathrooms. There were flat screen TVs at the front for in house entertainment.

All Johan was able to say was "wow." I led him over to the seats and we got comfortable.

"Can I get you boys anything?" Laura, the flight attendant came up to us.

"Yeah, two chocolate milkshakes." I said.

"Coming right up sir."

Johan was still gaping around at the plane when Laura came back with the smoothies. I sipped st mine then said; "now relax and enjoy the ride."

His attention focused on the window and he jumped. "We're already in the air?" I snorted.

"Yeah."

"Oh my goodness."

His enthusiasm was contagious. Truth was, I was still in awe of this plane sometimes and the fact that my family owned it.

"So Ted."
