wondered why Regina had added the no sexual contact clause to the contract. Was she afraid he might actually try to seduce her granddaughter? He would find out soon enough and turning he headed back to his room to get some sleep before he had to meet up with his brothers again at the worksite. He was in charge of doughnuts and coffee so he had to allow himself time to stop. He knew Trent would be all over his ass if he was late. Trent needed his sugar fix first thing in the morning before his brain kicked in and he became civil.

Chapter 5
    Bailey sat nervously in the back of the plane watching as Alexis and Tristan quietly drew on the table while their grandmother Regina observed them. When Regina had left Bailey had taken a moment to decide what to tell the kids. Her parents had believed in honesty but after their mothers death Bailey believed they had already lost too much in their young lives to deal with the fact their only living family had rejected them. She had told them that their father had gotten in an argument with his parents and he had left. Bailey had explained that sometimes when people fight they are too proud to say they are sorry and only suffer from the separation. It was the one rule she made sure they followed, no matter how angry any of them were with each other they would always apologize each night before going to bed. She knew all too well how precious life was having first experienced the sudden loss of her father and then the slow death of her mother. Bailey made up a world where one day they might be reunited with their grandparents. She would sit with them at their bedside and make up stories of magical worlds where they would travel in large bubbles under the sea and see all kinds of creatures. Then they would pop up on the shoreline and the bubbles would float up in the air. The wind would carry them over the lands until they reached their grandmothers. She would greet them and they would drink sweet tea on the porch. There would be a porch swing for them to play on and horses to ride. She never truly expected them to meet their grandmother. She had planned on one day when they were older explaining the truth but now her omission had just walked out her door.
    When they learned about their grandmother being there both of them had bombarded her with questions. Why hadn’t she gotten them up? Why did their grandmother go and were they really go ing to live with her? What about school? We’re they really going to fly on an airplane and could they bring their toys? She somehow managed to get them up, fed, dressed and packed before the limousine arrived. When they saw the car arrive they had another million questions and once they got inside the possibilities for getting into trouble were endless. When the limo bypassed the regular drop off area for passengers and proceeded to a private hanger Bailey began to get nervous. The sight of a private jet frightened her. She began to wonder just what exactly had she gotten herself into. She had only flown on a plane once in her life and it had been coach with her parents. They had only been served peanuts and a drink in their section and she had wondered about those in first class who were given champagne and a meal. When she asked why they couldn’t sit there her mother had smiled and said simply.
    “Because if we did we couldn’t afford th is trip to Disneyworld.” She said. “We would have to get back on the plane and come home.”
    “Oh .” Was all she had said.
    She was about to board a private jet and could only imagine what the interior was like. Before they got out of the limo she reminded the kids about their behavior and manners. With one tiny hand in each of hers she led them to the steps where first Tristan went up then Alexis before she followed. As ordered they waited for her at the top and smiled politely at the stewardess.
    “Ms . Montgomery…your grandmother asked me to show you to your seats, she will be arriving
