“No,” I responded.
“What do I have to say? Pilot move that plane? Is it behind the plane? I can’t see it.”
“Vee, this is your gift,” I pointed to the newly painted Embraer Phenom 100 jet.
“What’s my gift?” She turned to me with one eyebrow raised.
“This jet.”
She turned and looked at the jet then looked at Jack.
“Jack, has my husband pulled you in on some weird joke?”
“No, ma’am. Look at the tail.”
She whipped her head to the tail of the jet and saw her Patterson Law logo prominently displayed. I guess it finally registered because she put her hand to her mouth and stood silently looking at her own personal jet.
I was in the market to upgrade the jet that I already had. When I talked to Jack, he told me that I could get the upgrade to my jet and purchase a smaller one and stay within my prescribed budget. I agreed to the deal only if he could have the smaller jet upgraded for Averie in a set amount of time. He got it done before the deadline that I’d set.
“Samuel,” Averie turned to me with eyes full of water, “Are you serious?”
“I can’t have you going through the hassle of an airport with our child. Now you can go where you want when you want.”
“Baby…I…I am speechless,” she said with tears running down her face.
Jack passed me some Kleenex and I stepped in front of her to dry her tears.
“What happened to that whole speech about not being surprised when you get things?”
“Babe, don’t do that. This is a jet. This is a whole other level.”
I didn’t expect her reaction. I thought she would shrug like she did with the house in Charlotte. Her excitement was an added bonus.
“Would you like a tour of your jet, Mrs. Valentine?”
Averie nodded her head then followed Jack onto the plane. I’d already seen it and approved of all the changes I’d requested, but I was still extremely impressed with the six off-white, or champagne as Jack called it, colored seats with PLF embossed in the headrests. I had them add the seats that reclined all the way back into beds even though for far distances, we would take my jet because it was larger and could travel further without stopping. Averie hung onto Jack’s every word as he described all the amenities the jet had. She only looked away to smile at me. I was happy because she was happy. I knew that bringing her out here could have gone another way. She could have been back on her I don’t need a savior kick and completely rejected this gift, but she didn’t. I believed that we both had learned the importance of give and take in this relationship. I wanted her and our child to have the best of everything.
“So that’s it. I’ve shown you the entire jet. What do you think?” Jack said.
“I adore it!” Averie smiled.
“I am pleased that you like it. Like I told you, we will give you a list of the best private pilots and they will all come with stellar recommendations. Then you will be ready to travel without the hassle of the TSA and all those angry passengers,” Jack finished.
“I can’t wait. Thank you for showing me all the bells and whistles,” Averie said while extending her hand to shake his.
“My pleasure, Mrs. Valentine. Congratulations on the new things happening in your life. I will leave you both to it.”
Jack and I shook hands before he exited the jet.
“Samuel,” Averie purred causing an immediate erection, while wrapping her arms around my waist, “This is amazing.”
“I just want you to have nice things.”
“So, could we still be considered part of the mile-high club if the plane is still on the ground?”
“We can start our own club.”
“I’m down for that.”
