Chapter VII-Meeting A New Man

The plane ride would take about 5 hours. It was a little rainy but not bad. Kris was nervous and Junior was trying to calm her down.

"Everything will be okay" he said.

"Maybe I should call him. See where we should meet him. See if can tell me anything else. See if…"

"Kris! Everything will be okay. We will call him when we get close to landing or even after we land. We still have, like, 4½ hours."

"Okay, I am going to try and fall asleep. I love you" Kris lays her head down and closes her eyes.

"I love you too." Junior whispers as he brushes hair out of her eyes.

The plane lands and Kris slept the whole way. Junior watched a movie. Nothing really happened on the plane. Kris stepped off uneasy. Junior was trying to be her confidant but found it hard. He would never give up; however, he loved Kris and would always be there for her. He wanted Kris to know that and she did.

After a little silence, Kris asked Pablo in an eager voice; "So what did you call me down for, exactly."

"I would rather discuss that matter in Private, Kris. That's why I wanted you to come alone. This is a rather private business of mine; which now concerns you."

"Listen," Kris now speaking in a very stern voice, "I love Junior. He has always been there for me. I trust him and whatever you need to tell me, you can tell him. I don't care if this situation suddenly concerns me, if it does; then it concerns Junior too. I can't deal with something so sudden without him." Junior just sat there looking proud of Kris. That couldn't of been easy for her.

"Okay Kris, if you feel that strongly about this. (pause) I just…"
