Jennifer had lied..
She'd told Jonathan she was going home, to prepare for their wedding that the week apart would be the ultimate test of their upcoming marriage
But the thing is …She never made home to Maryland..
Oh Sure She'd stood in the LAX Airport kissing him like her life depended on it but when he turned and left her she'd headed to the opposite side of the airport and boarded a plane to Mexico ..
She was excited about her marriage but she needed time to think about all the changes that were happening. …From the day in London then onto to New York to pack up and suddenly move to Los Angeles with a man she hardly know and marry it was cause to make any girl's head spin..
She wordlessly handed her credit to the woman behind the counter and walked onto the plane..
"Can I get you anything Ma'm?" the stewardess asked
"Vodka and Orange juice please?" She knew that keeping up her nerve to actually go through with this, she had to be soused a little bit
"Is this your first trip to Mexico?" a an older balding man beside Jennifer asked
"No I've been many times .." Jennifer said glumly into her plastic cup .
"Are you alright, Miss?" The Man pressed
"Yes I'm just nervous about leaving my fiancée for the first time" Jennifer said
"I'm sure he'll be fine, Miss " the man tried to reassure her
"It's not him I'm worried about" Jennifer said quietly ..
After that, Jennifer played asleep because she knew if the man was any more kinder to her, she'd spill out every single doubt she had and every reason she wanted to run
Like was she prepared for life with a self-made millionaire? What would their children been exposed to? Did she even want children? Could she give up her career? What about suddenly moving in with a man she barely knew let alone his butler buddy although she adored Max..it would still be weird to wake up to someone doing everything she'd been taught to do herself …
Could she handle the spotlight..how would that interfere with her everyday life?
She knew she should have spoken to Jonathan about her fears but she also worried that it would cause him undue stress or make Him reconsider their marriage….
After a few more screwdrivers, she fell asleep and woke up a few hours later to the Stewardess announcing their destination into Mexico..
