379 Not just another Friday - Part 4

Friday, continued …

Meanwhile

James and Alecia walked nervously off Hou Yi's private plane into the waiting car, to take them to the Australian Embassy.As the sat into the back and were whisked away from the airport, James could sense that Alecia was nervous.

He took her hands in his before turning to her and asking"Are you sure about this?Just because you told your father what you did yesterday, does not mean that we have to do this.I am happy to wait."

"James, I would not have said what I did if I was not certain, it seems like you are uncertain if we should be doing this."

James, decided that words were useless at this exact moment, and leaned over before giving gave Alecia a passionate kiss and then reluctantly pulling away.

As he sat back is quietly asked "Does that answer your question?"All Alecia could do was simply nod her head.

James then quietly continued "Alecia you need to realise that this luxury, despite your wealth is something that we will not have in Australia.There is no way that we will have a driver on call.I have a car, yes, it is years old and assuming the bodyguards I know your father will send to keep an eye on you accept that it is OK, we will being using that, and we will not have a second vehicle.And I will not be letting my brother-in-law purchase anything other than a simply house for us.Yes we will have a high level security system but that will be it."

"James, as I have told you, what I have is yours.As to living the ordinary life, in some respects I hate the life that my family's wealth imposes, staff on tap, no privacy.That is what I want.You better realise though, the only class I ever struggled with is cooking, so you better be reasonable, or we will be eating take-away all the time."

"Do you think you should have told me that earlier, I have been known to boil pots dry..."

Alecia turned and laughed at the face James made when she spoke, and he responded."You should have seen your face.Once we were old enough each of us had to spend four days a month in the kitchen, helping to prepare the meals, and under the chef's supervision we learnt how to cook simple meals.I can cook, and I can follow a recipe."

"Do not scare me like that."

Alecia carefully undid her seat-belt and slid over into the seat next to James and did up that seat-belt.She simply leaned on his shoulder, and quietly sat there thinking about what had happened in the last thirty-six hours or so, and what was to come.She knew deep down she had made the right decision, and just hoped James never regretted his.

When Alecia moved over and put her head on his shoulder James felt a sense of peace.Everything was right.Yes, almost all his friends would think he was mad for making such a quick decision, but he knew he it was the right decision for him.

Neither of them moved until they arrived at the designated stopping area away from the Australian Embassy.Before James and Alecia could even undo their seat-belts let alone the door the bodyguard assigned to accompany them was there opening it for them.James stepped out before helping Alecia out and before leaning back in to gather the case that had all their documents in it and Alecia's handbag.

They walked hand in hand to the Australian Embassy entrance with the bodyguard behind them.At the gate James, pulled out the email confirmation of the appointment, and he and Alecia entered the Embassy followed by the bodyguard.They had to wait about ten minutes for the official to be ready for them, and they followed him into an appointment room to complete the necessary paperwork.

Thirty Minutes later, paperwork in hand James and Alecia trailed by the bodyguard walked out of the appointment room, and the Embassy.Once they were through the gates the bodyguard called for the car to meet them at the set-down location.Once they were comfortable the returned to the airport and flew back to City T, where they were met by Yao Tan.As they reached the car, Yao Tan, turned to James and handed him his phone, "Yi would like to talk to you."
