CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR

Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile. My favourite number is 69. Today I reached 69 reviews on TWCS so here's a chapter, pity it's not chapter 69 cause that would have been awesome!

When Abel wakes up at 4am I settle him in his car seat downstairs to go back to sleep after he's finished the bottle I propped up with a pillow. The bath, wine and the joint Jax and I had smoked on our balcony had helped me get to sleep by 10 and I'd slept soundly enough that I'm not yawning as I make a pot of coffee and put some calorie laden pop-tarts in the toaster.

Jax stumbles down the stairs at 415, looking dishevelled but awake and dressed as he inhales "Coffee?"

Handing him the huge travel cup of coffee I'd just poured I point towards the toaster as well "Those are yours. I'll just go get dressed and grab my bags."

"Bags?" Jax calls as I go up the stairs.

"Sure, handbag, diaper bag and makeup case." I reply, scaling the stairs rapidly.

10 minutes later I'm back downstairs, three bags hanging from my arms, my hairbrush in one hand, elastic band in my teeth and cell phone in the other.

We're out the door at 435, Abel in the back already asleep before we pull out of the drive. Passing through the dark streets we stop at TM where Happy loads his bags into the back while I jump out and climb into the middle of the backseat so he can have the front, with his long legs it wouldn't be fair for him to be in the back.

"Thanks for picking us up." Hap says his voice very sleepy.

"No probs bro." Jax replies "Did you just roll out of bed?"

Happy laughs "Yeah pretty much. S texted Cam when you guys were leaving your place which is just as well cause we were both still sleeping."

Cam yawns "Yeah, sorry I'm claiming the bed this time S. I need more sleep."

I shrug "That's cool. Al and Juice will miss out again."

Cam chuckles "And we're not even flying back for them to make up for it."

Happy looks confused and Cam reaches through the seats and pats his shoulder "Al's the only one of us girls not already a member of the mile-high club."

Happy growls low in his throat and Cam leans as close to his ear as she can, her ass almost in my lap where she rapidly starts whispering till his tense shoulders relax and he twists in his seat to press an almost gentle kiss to her lips.

"So how longs this flight?" Happy asks as we're about ΒΌ of the way there.

"Depends on winds. If we take off at 6am we should land in New York at 4pm. Provided that the wind behaves." Cam replies "If we have a headwind it could add anything up to an hour to the flight. Tailwind likewise could cut off almost an hour."

"Huh?" Happy turns, lifting his eyebrow and Cam giggles.

"If the wind is blowing the same way we're going the trip will take less time, if it's blowing against us it'll take longer."

Happy nods, resting his head against the headrest behind him "Wake me when we get to the airport." Closing his eyes he starts snoring before we've driven another 10 miles and Cam giggles softly.

Waiting till I'm completely certain Happy's sleeping I turn slightly "You know he's never flown before?"

Cam nods "Yeah, he said that when he picked me up. And what's worse is he didn't get a look at the plane, he was late and they'd already hangared it when he got there. He's got no clue."

I frown lightly, my eyes darting to Jax's in in the rear view "Cammy, does he know at all about your finances?"

She shakes her head "No. I tried to tell him and he just wouldn't listen. Jax, how's he gonna react when he realises?"

Jax shrugs "That I can't answer sorry Cam. I would suggest maybe trying to tell him again during the flight, the plane alone is going to give him an idea that we're not going to a tiny New York apartment."

Cam snorts "We're not even going to the house, we're going directly to the hotel, but we're only there three nights. How do you tell someone that you're worth more than anyone they know, period?"

I shrug "With Hap, exactly like that. He has an idea of what I'm worth, as does the whole club by now with how much money Jax and I have been putting into BV, and my two stores, and the house, and the car we're picking up." Blinking up at Jax I frown "Does anyone other than Ope and D know what sort of car we're picking up?"

Jax laughs, shaking his head "Hell no. None of them have a clue cause they'd be fighting for first drive rights."

I snort "That's mine. No one drives this car till I have."

Cam looks confused, her eyes drifting between us but I shake my head and she shrugs "So you think I should basically sit him down and say 'Hey, by the way I'm worth millions of dollars'?"

I nod "Maybe soften him up a little first. Introducing him to the Mile High club and whatever else it was you promised him would be a good way to start." I mutter with a snort of laughter.

Cam pokes her tongue out at me and leans against my shoulder, her eyes closing "Sure, I'll take that into consideration. Wake me when we get there."

Cam falls asleep almost as fast as Happy did and with her, Hap and Abel all sleeping in the car Jax reaches over and turns the radio on quietly "Go to sleep if you want Darlin', I'll wake you all when we get to the airport."

I shake my head, reaching between the seats and sliding my hand onto his thigh "I'd rather stay awake at the moment, that way I can sleep on the plane, once I know how Abel's going to deal with it."

Jax nods and rests his hand over mine "Okay. How is he?"

Looking over at the car seat I giggle "He's sleeping, one fist in his mouth and the other hand is curled around his ear."

"How do we deal with him on the plane?"

I glance over at Cam's face and smile "Cam talked to Derek and he got some company to come out and retrofit one of the seats so that the seat lifts up and a multipoint car seat attachment folds out. His car seat should just snap straight in, that's why she wanted to know the make and model of the seat that day."

Jax glances up, catching my eyes "You're friends really do love you."

I nod "I know, and there's almost nothing in the world I wouldn't do for any of them."

Cam grumbles "Then how bout you be quiet so I can sleep."

Giggling I lean back pushing my arm behind her back so she can rest her head back on my shoulder "Sorry Cammy."

"S'okay, now shush."
