English Rose – chapter 1: High Flyers

Spencer’s POV

“last call for all flights to England, London” ‘Ok your probably wondering what the hell is going on so I’ll explain, My name s Spencer Carlin, Daughter to Senator Arthur Carlin and famous plastic surgeon Paula Carlin well it just so happens that im about to board a plane to England well London to be exact to solve a problem that has been bugging me since last night when I called my boyfriend Aiden he has been in London for two months on some business trip anyway like I was saying I called him to see how he was when he finally picked up he sounded some what out of breath “hello” he’s a smoker and his voice is horribly rough “Hey Aid how are you” he was still out of breath but I didn’t want to bombard him questions “im good babe trips amazing” typical he never asks how I am my mind stilled when I heard a girls voice from his end “AIDEN COME BACK  ALREADY”  my mind was racing where was he going back to and who “Aiden who was that?” panic was knotting up my voice I was putting two and two together unwillingly his shortness of breath and the mystery girl calling him back to the unknown “It’s just my business partner, look babe this is a really important meeting that were in the middle of so Iv got to go love you” I didn’t reply I just hung up.

I tried to gather my thoughts but they were running wild at this point and I don’t even know why it was bothering me so much I knew I didn’t love Aiden but me being with him kept my mother happy I always thought love was hard enough to find with out putting restrictions on it like male and female but my mother thinks differently she’s deeply religious, anyway I couldn’t  sleep so I know I had to get to England and see for my self what was happening, so I decided to ring my father he always had time for me he was so loving the complete opposite of my mother “Hello Senator Carlin’s office how may I help you?” “Hey Kelly its Spencer is my dad available to talk?” Kelly’s voice was so sweet and calming she’s only a year older than me she’s dead smart only 20 and an already the Senators personal assistant “Hey Spencer, yeah he is I’ll just put you through” she’s always so nice and really easy to talk to “thanks” I reply. I waited a few moments then hearing my dads smooth but strong voice “Spencer are you ok its late what is wrong?” my dad usually panics about me “I’m fine dad but I was wondering if you could get a quick flight lets say for tomorrow morning to London I have a few things I really need to sort out” there was a silence I hated silence it gives the mind time to think about things that you don’t want to think about “Ok honey I won’t ask but will you promise to tell me when your ready?” I loved my dad always so understanding “thank you and yes I promise to tell you when im ready” “ok well I’ll send Kelly to meet you at the airport with your ticket and if you don’t mind I would prefer it if Kelly went with you” damn it don’t get me wrong I like Kelly but I wanted to do this on my own but its my dads wish that I take so I will “ok dad Kelly can come” I sighed “ok honey I’ll speak to you later and be at the airport for 3:00am I’ll get you a flight for 4am that should get you into England at 1:00pm ok night honey” “thanks dad night”.
