Chapter 0070
(Several hours earlier)
(Joey POV)
I had managed to prevent Sheila from sitting next to James on the airplane, but I was not sure how I was going to prevent her from wrecking the overall trip… and our long–term plans.
We had already been on the plane for four hours, and I had yet to come up with a single idea to get rid of
her.
Thankfully, the Moon Goddess must have been on our side.
Frustrated and bored, I pulled out my phone, turned on the plane’s wi–fi, and discovered several text messages from my mate.
Jessica:
“Where are you going?”
Jessica:.
“Joey, answer me. It is important. Where are you going?”
Jessica:
“Joey, please for the love of the Goddess, answer me.”
Jessica:
“JOEY!”
Me:
“Babe, so sorry. I had my phone in airplane mode. I forgot the plane had wi–fi. What is up? Is everything okay?”
“No, it is not okay! Have you seriously forgotten about Sheila? And Lily? And our plans?”
“Where are you going?”
Jessica:
Jessica:
Me:
“Hawaii. You know that.”
Jessica:
“No, I mean do you have a direct flight or a stopover?”
Me:
“A direct flight…”
Jessica:
“To where?”
Me:
“Hawaii.”
Jessica:
[angry emoji] “Where in Hawall?”
Me:
“I dunno. One of the islands.”

Jessica:
“Answer my d&&n question or I swear to the Goddess you will not get laid again for a year.
Which island are you flying into?”
Me:
Jessica:
“Baby, I really dunno.”
[exacerbated emoji] “Babe, I love you… but what kind of security guard are you if you don’t
even know where you are going?!?!?!”
Me:
“I deserved that.”
I did. I have never claimed to be the best security guard out there. Even I would agree I am a little on the goofy, aloof side. I was a solid C minus student in school. I did just enough to get by and nothing more. I have taken that work ethic into my adult work life. It is how I like things: nice and chill.
Jessica:
“Ask someone, please.”
Me:
“Why?”
[angry emoji] “Do you want to get laid again, Joey?”
Jessica:
I sigh. I am not going to win this fight. I may be lazy, but that trait does not apply to my sex life. No way
am I willing to give up sex.
I reluctantly turn to James, who has ear buds in as he appears to be listening to something on his phone. I lean over and tap him gently on his shoulder.
“What?!?” he snaps at me.
“I am sorry to bother you, Sir, but where are we going?” I ask him..
“Kansas City, Kansas,” he responds sarcastically,
I choose to ignore the sarcasm. “I am sorry to ask, Sir. I know that we are on our way to Hawaii, but my mate is a bit of a paranold one. She wants to know which island we are going to.”
He rolls his eyes. “What kind of security guard does not bother to figure out where he is going before he
gets on a plane?”
“To be fair, Sir, we only had twenty minutes to get ready for this trip, and you were the one who made all of the arrangements. If you wanted your security forces to be prepared, you should have given us a little more time and a little more information.”
James glares at me. For a moment, I worry that my disrespect is about to cause me to be suspended from my job or banished from the pack. Thankfully, after groaning, he answers me. “Honolulu.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Me: “Okay, Baby. I found out. We are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
“Nowhere else?”
Me: “James just told me. We are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
“Please confirm with him that your hotel is in Honolulu.”
Me: “He said we are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
[angry emojil
SERIOUSLY? Is the sex with Jessica good enough to let her bully me like this?
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Crap.
I lean over and tap James gently on the shoulder again.
