A Single Mom Meets Someone New Ch 79

The private jet bounced in the turbulence. 

“Whoa.” Tina gripped the arms of her chairs. Both Quin and Zach giggled with every bounce and shake. 

Gillian smiled. She had always loved the turbulence. Victoria laughed at Tina. 

“I don’t know how all of our children loved the bouncing up and down and it scares you so.” Bette smiled. Tina gasped as the plane bounced again. 

“Sorry about that. We’re almost through it.” The pilot said.

“See honey its almost over.” Bette patted Tina’s knee. The pilot put down the landing gear. The plane glided to ground and stopped no bumps. Tina took a deep breathe. 

“Welcome to Los Angeles.” The pilot said. 

“Los Angeles. I thought we were going to Connecticut?” Bette asked. 

“Yale isn’t for me.” Gillian unbuckled her seat beat and stood up. 

“When did you decide that?” Tina asked. Gillian smiled. 

“Somewhere over the Atlantic.” She said and then went into the bathroom. 

“Sounds like she’s made up her mind.” Bette said. The plane taxied and stopped. The stewardess opened the door and lowered the steps. Gillian emerged from the bathroom wearing and old pair of jeans and and old beat up t-shirt. 

“I hope you all enjoyed your flight. The crew will be unavailble for the next week, but after that we will be at your disposal.” She said. 

“Great. You guys will let Father know when you’re all settled in right?” Gillian asked. 

“Of course.” The stewardess smiled. “Personally I’m glad you picked LA instead of Connecticut. It’s so cold there in the winter.” Gillian smiled at her and grabbed her pack. 

“I agree.” Gillian walked past her and out of the door. 

“Don’t worry about the car seats well take care of them.” She said to Bette who was unbuckling Zach’s seat. 

“okay.” Bette picked up Zach and followed Victoria off the plane. 

Jaime was waiting beside a limo. 

“What are you doing here?” Gillian asked. 

“Your father sent me to help you find an apartment or house if you choose. Just to make sure you get settled since he can’t be here himself.” She said. 

“Oh well if you think I’m starting the next phase of my life in that your crazy.” Gillian pointed to the limo as she talked. 

“I know this is for Bette and Tina. These are for you.” She threw a set a keys at Gillian. 

“A little coronation gift from Bette and I, with your dad’s approval of course.” Tina walked up behind Gillian. 

“It’s been fully loaded all the bells and whistles.” Bette said. 

“That was Bette’s idea.” Tina said. Gillian pressed the lock button on the key and a horn honked. A large bus on the other side of the limo pulled away to reveal an Island Blue 4 door Jeep Wrangler unlimited. 

“Cool.” Gillian and Victoria said simultaneously. “How did you guys know I’d choose LA.” 

“I’m you mother honey I know you better than anyone. No matter what you may think.” Gillian hugged Tina and then Bette before running over to her new car. 

“Since everyone agreed that you didn’t have Joe and Frank next to you all of the time your father had the jeep reenforced a bomb would go off and as long as the hard top was on you’d survive.” Jaime said. 

“Cool.” Gillian cranked the Jeep.

“No body guards at all?” Bette said. 

“Watch.” Gillian pushed and held two buttons on her watch.

“What?” Bette asked. Within a minute two black cars pulled up and Joe and Frank jumped out. 

“What’s wrong?” They asked. 

“Relax boys it was just a demonstration.” Jaime said. 

“Sorry guys I had to show them that was being protected even if it doesn’t look like it.” Gillian said. 

“Okay but let’s don’t have any more false alarms huh?” Joe said as he walked away. 

“I won’t.” Gillian said. 

“What do you say we go home?” Tina said. 

“I want to go to the Planet.” Victoria said. 

“Not tonight.” Tina said. Victoria looked around and dropped to the ground kicking and screaming. 

“If you keep that up you won’t go tomorrow either.” Bette said and stepped over her.
