"Aaaaaand cut!" the director yelled "great job Jade! You really overdid yourself this time!" he continued
"Yea yea great" Jade replied
"Now remember, you'll take a plane from here to Mexico and meet your 'police bodyguard' in the airport and you two will drive across the desert over to Phoenix. Got that?" the director asked
"You're not my dad" Jade said frowning
"Stay safe" he replied kissing Jades head
Normally Jade would have made another snarky remark about how 'corny' or 'sappy' he was but she knew better than to argue with her overprotective brother/Director. She would always lose.
As soon as Jade got to her little condo, she started packing at record speed. Her brother (and parents) had warned her to pack about a week before the flight but, Jade being Jade, didn't listen.
She arrived at the airport 40 minutes before her flight left, so she got to her gate and took a seat, making sure to be comfortable. As Jade pulled her IPod out, she thought of everything she was going to get from her home in Mexico.
"It was hard to keep track of everything you own when you have houses all over the world" Jade whispered to the little girl sitting beside her
the little kid nodded like she understood
"Maybe someday, you'll have houses in all 50 states of America" Jade continued, earning another nod from the girl
Once her plane took off, Jade put her earphones on and started listening to her favourite song.
"Now my life is sweet like cinnamon
Like a fucking dream I'm living in
Baby love me 'cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)
Lick me up and take me like a vitamin
'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom oh yeah
Baby love me 'cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)
Oh, sing it to me"
