internally. It was a surprise from Bruce. The night was going to be very interesting.
    “From Bruce?”
    “From Mr. Wilson, yes. Now, will you please get in the car?” Alfonso said, holding the door for her.
    She climbed in the mini-van and buckled up. She could feel and smell her own sweat underneath her clothes.
    “Can I take a shower, at least? It won’t take more than ten minutes.”
    “I’m not supposed to drop you home, even for ten minutes. I’m sorry.”
    Jennifer didn’t insist. Alfonso would probably be in trouble or even lose his job if he didn’t follow orders. She couldn’t push him and she couldn’t blame him for doing his job.
    She leaned back in the passenger seat and waited. There was nothing she could do and the idea of Bruce having a surprise for her was quite exciting. After such a long week of back breaking work, she dreamed about a good massage. Two hours on a table under the expert hands of an experienced therapist would be heaven and she prayed the surprise wouldn’t disappoint her.
    After half an hour, Alfonso left the main road and entered a facility that Jennifer didn’t recognize. There was nothing around, except a few low buildings and warehouses.
    “Where are we?” She asked, now slightly worried. “Are you sure this is where I’m supposed to be?”
    “Don’t worry. You’re safe.”
    “I don’t feel very confident to be honest with you, Alfonso. Don’t take it personally but I’ll call Bruce, just to hear his voice.”
    Alfonso remained cool and didn’t seem object. “Sure.”
    She took her cell-phone and got Bruce immediately.
    “Baby?” She said. “Where are you taking me? I don’t know where I am and I’m getting nervous.”
    “What do you see around?”
    “Nothing. It’s all dark.”
    “You should see a runway pretty soon.”
    “A what?”
    “I’ll take you on a little trip tonight.”
    “What? We’re going to travel? Now?”
    “Yes. Excited?”
    Hell yeah, she thought. A vacation! That wasn’t what she had expected but it was actually a pretty damn good surprise.
    “Where are we going?”
    “Come on, Jen. I wasn’t supposed to tell you anything about the trip. I’m not going to tell you where we’re going or there won’t be any surprise anymore.”
    “Please,” she said, trying to use her most charming voice to beg him.
    “Huh huh. Nope. You’ll have to be a good girl and wait.”
    Alfonso slowed down and Jennifer saw Bruce’s private jet waiting for them, ready to take off.
    “I’m here,” she said. She didn’t wait for Alfonso to open her door and climbed out of the mini-van while they were still moving.”
    “Hey, be careful!” Alfonso said behind her.
    Jennifer was on the tarmac of the runway and could smell kerosene being pumped into the plane. It was slightly windy and she felt her hair stuck on her face.
    “Where are you?” She said on the phone. “In the plane?”
    “I’m in a different plane...”
    “Are you kidding me? Why?”
    “I need to be ahead of you to take care of a few details.”
    “So you’re already flying now?”
    “Yeah but she should be right behind me in a few minutes.”
    Jennifer stopped walking around and stood there, disappointed.
    “That’s not what I call a surprise, Bruce. Not a good one.”
    “Wait until you land, okay? You’ll thank me later.”
    “How long is it going to be? The flight?”
    “About six hours.”
    “Oh my God, six hours! That’s long!”
    “Not if you sleep. You’ll have dinner immediately after you take-off and you can take a shower. Then, all you have to do is close your eyes and let the crew take care of the rest.”
    “I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep in the plane. I hate it. Plus, I’m very tight and sore, Bruce. I worked non-stop every single night for two weeks to be available for you. I expected to be in bed or in a bathtub tonight...”
    “My massage therapist should be on board with you.”
    Sweet Jesus! She thought. She was going to have a
