For not letting her think too much, Arlo repeatedly tried to strike a conversation but Sky would just hum for everything. He wasn't even sure if she was listening to him hence he used what he kept hearing recently.
"I will kidnap you!"
Sky turned to him, "Yes, please! Away from the city, take me to some beautiful forest above the hill where I can see stars like this." Sky pointed window panel.
They were on the ocean and they could see numerous twinkling stars where they couldn't get to watch from land.
Arlo was stunned. 'Is she permitting me to kidnap her?'
Sky continued, "... You can cook, you can do all the work. I will not run away."
"What are you going to do if I do everything?" Arlo couldn't help but chuckle hearing ' he can cook '. He never expected his small interest to learn about cooking could be that useful.
"Me?" Sky gave it a thought, "I will eat, I will rest and I will order you around for kidnapping me."
Arlo burst into laughter. Probably because of her he smiled and laughed more.
Sky just smiled at looked outside. She knew he was trying to distract her from thinking too much so she went along with it instead of giving a cold shoulder.
"That's a great plan! Don't complain to me when I kidnap." Arlo said after controlling his laughter.
"Deal! I will only complain about food if you don't get it to me on time every day." Sky replied with a smile.
They chitchatted for a while before she got up to use the washroom. Then she noticed complete business class was empty other than themselves.
After going back to the seat, she told to Arlo, "Only we two are sitting here."
Arlo just replied "Oh". He knew about it because he booked the complete business class.
After playing, 'You sleep, I'm not sleepy' , Sky fell asleep.
Arlo noticed her steady breathing and carried her to the room in the VIP lounge which had a bed. After tucking her in, he went back to the seat and napped checking Sky every now and then.
Sky woke up after about two hours. She bolted out of the room and saw Arlo sleeping and heaved a sigh of relief. She was agitated waking up in an unfamiliar place. She went back to the seat and helped Arlo with his blanket and sat down. Listening to music, she dozed off again.
When Arlo woke up, he saw her in the adjacent seat sleeping peacefully with her headphones on. He woke her up for eating after some time. They time passed till they landed. It was early morning in U nation and it was an evening in Country A hence Sky called Sam as soon as landed.
After talking to him, Sky breathed a sigh of relief. Then she dropped messages to Jai and David that they reached safely.
Arlo checked messages on his phone and got to know Sam's father sustained minor injuries on the leg and he was unconscious due to delirium. He was discharged six hours back from the hospital and resting at home.
Since it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, Country U was colder than Country A. It was early morning, there weren't many vehicles. It was Sky's first time in country U. She enjoyed the off city view and tall buildings in the city.
They reached a three-bedroom flat which was actually Arlo's place which he used while studying in that country. Sky was told as it was a rented place. Arlo also had a villa in city outskirts, since David had no properties in that country, he didn't take her as it would only make his lies grow higher.
Arlo had ordered his people to renovate necessary things and clean hence it was spick and span.
"Ms.Sky, We will leave at Ten, rest till that." Arlo said after entering the flat.
Randomly picking a room, she went in with her luggage and collapsed on the bed to rest a few hours. Arlo smiled and saw her entering his room before going into another room.
He didn't know whether he should be happy about the Cox family incident which allowed him to spend quality time with her or sad because it worried Sky for fifteen hours.
After preparing breakfast, he was going to knock, Sky came out getting ready. "Arlo! Are we going out for breakfast?"
Arlo pointed at the dining table looking at her, "Ms.Sky, do you think we are going to office?"
She was wearing a white full sleeve collared shirt and thin sleeveless black and white sweater, black pencil pants with black high heel ankle boots. She was holding the off-white long jacket in her hand which gave a total formal look.
Sky looked at herself and asked, "Do I have to change?"
Arlo nodded annoying Sky.
"Are you a mix of Brother Jai and Loran?" She made a face at him and went back to her room.
He would speak like Brother Jai and now comment on her dress like Loran. Arlo was speechless knowing she was so used to them and his actions remind her about them.
Sky soon changed and came out. "Now don't tell me, I look like a school or college girl."
She kept her long jacket on the sofa and went towards the dining table where Arlo was already sitting.
She was wearing a white turtle neck full sleeve sweater tucked in a grey knitted high waist short circular skirt. Watching with high heel thigh-high boots. Slightly curled brown hair on her shoulder and two pendants sparkled under light. With just blush pink lipstick, she looked like a dainty college girl. Pure, mischievous and playful.
He really wanted to kidnap her. Thinking about kidnap, he looked at her and said. It was more like ordering. "Ms.Sky, You aren't allowed to leave my side."
Sky giggled and took a bite of toast. Feeling she didn't take it seriously, he spoke again, "I'm serious!"
Sky nodded and said nonchalantly, "Even if you want to get rid of me, I will not leave you. Don't worry."
After her experience in S nation, she wasn't ready to experience the same. Even though she never liked to stick on to somebody wherever she goes, she had no other option. If she tries to go alone, Jai and David would restrict her more about going anywhere. So she had to listen to them.
'Dumb girl, do you even know what you say?' Arlo thought to himself.
