Hey, guys! Okay, this is a new...thing...cause tbh, I have no idea what to do with it, I original intention was to write this as a one shot, but I can find a potential way to make it into a multi-chapter so tell me what you think I should do, cause I'm confused so PLEASE review and tell me what you think I should do!
ONE-SHOT OR MULIT-CHAPTER- You decide ;)
SPOV
'Thanks' I said to the taxi driver as I handed him the money and got out at the airport. I shut the door and the taxi driver handed me my case out of the trunk, 'Thanks' I said again before heading to check in. I entered the airport and headed to the desk,
'Good morning' I was greeted by a smiling employee,
'Morning' I smiled in reply, searching for my documents to give to her,
'Ah, Florida?' she asked and I nodded, 'You're lucky, I hear it's lovely this time of year' I was travelling to Florida for a kind of stress-relieving holiday. My friend Carly got me this holiday as a 19th birthday present, seeing as I had been really stressed out lately about college and stuff. Well, I was so ready to leave all that behind and fly off to Florida,
'There you go' she said, handing me all my documents back to me. I smiled and took them and slipped them in my bag. After weighing all my luggage, she sent off my case to be put on the plane, 'You're plane boards at 3:30 and departure is at 4 at gate 12' she said,
'Ok, thank you' I smiled and made my way to the seats at the back. I sat down, relieved that I brought a book with me if I was going to be waiting almost 6 hours. Stupid plane wants you to be there and check in ridiculously early, something to do with packing the plane or...I dunno. I shook my head and got my book out. I had read about three chapters when I heard the door open. As a reaction, I snapped my head toward the door and saw the most gorgeous boy I've ever seen walking in. He had auburn messy hair, that could have only come from just rolling out of bed and chocolate brown eyes that were so deep, I was sure that anyone could lost in. He made his way to the check in desk with his case. Suddenly he turned to me and flashed me a smile, showing all of his perfectly white teeth. I blushed slightly and quickly went back to my book. I shook the thoughts off and continued reading. After a while, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, that someone sat opposite me. I slowly glanced up, not moving my head and flashed my eyes over the top of my book. I looked to see that it was the guy who smiled at me. I blushed thinking of those teeth again. Just as I was looking at him over the top of my book, he looked up from his phone and caught me looking again. Damn, I have really bad timing. He flashed me another small smile. I quickly looked back down at my book, not reading the words. Shit, I cursed myself for getting caught. After a few chapters of sitting there, feeling eyes on me and feeling self conscious, I decided to go the lounge on the other side of the airport. I'd decided against going there in the beginning because it was on the other side of the airport and I'd probably only read there anyways, so I might as well do it here. Now, I had a reason to go, to stop myself from staring at him, getting caught and embarrassing myself. I stood up, grabbed my bag and headed to the lounge. I barely made it past the row of chairs before a hand rested on my shoulder. I let out a short high pitched scream and turned around. I turned around to come face to face with the smiling guy. He laughed at my reaction of screaming and jumping in terror,
'You, uh left your book' he smiled, still laughing slightly. I looked in his hand to see that he was offering me my book,
'Oh' I said and took the book from his hands, 'Thanks' I said and turned around, heading for the lounge. I started walking and passed a bathroom and realised that I actually needed the toilet.
After, I'd gone to the bathroom, I headed to the lounge and was greeted by a woman holding a tray with glasses of wine on them,
'Welcome to the Palm lounge, may I offer you a drink?' she asked, smiling,
'Thanks' I smiled, taking a glass off the tray. After I took a drink, she told me where everything was and what I could do there. There were many options, but I decided to sit on a couch and read the rest of my book. I put my bag down and sat on a couch. As I was getting my book out, I thought I saw a rush of familiar brown hair in the corner of my eye. Nah, can't be, I decided. Curiosity got the better of me and I sneaked a look. Sure enough, it was the smiling guy from the check out room. Oh my god, what? Is he following me? He was already here before I was so he can't be...he's just turning up places...I shook my head and switched my gaze to my book. As I was reading, I was looking at the words, taking them in but not really understanding them, I was too preoccupied thinking of the smiling boy and if he'd smile at me again if he caught me looking. Well, that's just bad timing. I shook my head and decided to get up and get a drink from the drink dispensers in the corner of the room. I marked the page of my book that I was on and set in on the chair next to me and got up to get a drink. As I walked passed, I snuck a glance at the brown haired boy and found that he was staring at me. He noticed I looked at him and showed me a cheeky grin and raised his eyebrows. I flushed a bright scarlet and continued to the drinks. I grabbed a cup and decided to get a coffee. I grabbed a cup and put it under the machine and pressed the button. As it was filling up, I grabbed a small pot of milk from one of the baskets. I took the coffee out when it finished filling up and stirred my milk in. I tapped the stirrer on the side of the cup and put it in the bin. I started to put a lid on the cup and turned around. However, the lid was not fully on and when I turned around, I jumped to see someone right in front of me and coffee spilt over the half-on lid and all over the person's shirt in front of me,
'Oh my god, I'm so sorry' I apologised, turning around to sent my coffee down on the side and quickly rolled my sleeve over my hand and started rubbing his shirt trying to get it out, 'I'm really sorry' I said, continuing trying to clean his shirt. I heard a laugh,
'I think you're just setting it in' the voice said. I looked up at that moment and was overwhelmed with dark brown eyes,
'Right...Um, I'm really sorry' I said, again, in awe of his eyes, close up,
'It's fine' he said, 'It's set in now anyways, don't worry about it' he smiled, flashing his teeth,
'Right, uh-' I said, turning around and found a dispenser of paper towels nest to a sink. I quickly reached for one and slightly wet it with water, horrified that I just spilt coffee on him. I continued wiping his shirt with the wet paper towel. He laughed,
'Really, I think you've done all you can' he laughed,
'I'm, uh-really sorry' I told him,
'That's ok' he said, 'It's not often you have coffee spilt on you by the most adorable girl in the world' he smiled. I blushed and threw the paper towel away,
'Uh, but that's gonna stain, let me-'
'No, it's fine' he smiled,
'Ok, um-I'm really sorry, I-'
'It's fine' he repeated. He reached behind me and grabbed my coffee and handed it to me,
'Thanks' I smiled and started to walk around him,
'Hey' he said and I turned around, 'Freddie' he said, offering his hand out to me. I smiled and shook it,
'Sam' I said,
'Short for Samantha, right?' he asked,
'Yeah, but call me that and I kick your ass' I said, smiling. He laughed,
'Feisty' he commented, 'I like it' he winked. I blushed, 'Would you like to sit with me?' he asked,
'I-um-' I stammered,
'Good' he said, 'Come on' he smiled, leading the way to where he was sitting. On the way, I grabbed my bag and book. I followed Freddie and hesitated at the seat before sitting down, 'Come on, I don't bite' he joked. I smiled and sat down on the chair,
'So, what's up with this book?' he asked, gesturing down to the book I was holding in my hands,
'Oh, um well it's not usually something I'd read Y'know, it's not really my genre' I told him, turning the book round, 'But it was recommended to me so...' I trailed off,
'What is it?' he asked, reaching for the book and taking it, 'Room by Emma Donoghue' he read. I blushed slightly, embarrassed, 'Are you enjoying it?' he asked,
'I thought I wouldn't, but yes I am' I replied, 'Well, at least the first couple chapters'
'Don't' he smiled. I raised an eyebrow, 'I've read it'
'Did you not like it?' I asked,
'Well, not so much as disliked as...hated' he smiled,
'Oh' I said. He reached into his bag and brought something out,
'Try this' he said, handing me a book. I took the book off him and looked at the front cover. The Princess Bride by William Goldman,
'Good?' I asked. He nodded,
'Interesting' he said. I smiled and handed the book back to him. He shook his head, 'Keep it'
'Oh no, I can't' I said, holding it out to him further,
'No, I'm done with it' he said, pushing my hand back, 'It's fine'
'No, I can't take your book' I told him, 'Don't be silly' I said,
'No, I want you to' he said,
'Thank you, but I-'
'No buts, you're having it' he stated. I laughed,
'Then thank you' I said, 'very much' I smiled,
'Oh, you're very welcome' he smiled again. I smiled back and flicked through the pages of the book. I slipped my other book in my bag and kept Freddie's book on my lap,
'So, where you flying to?' he asked, popping open a pot of mints and putting one in his mouth,
'Florida' I replied,
'Hey, me too' he said, smiling,
'Really? Wow' I said, 'Holiday?' I asked and he shook his head,
'Business conference' he said, 'No one else wanted to go' he shrugged, 'Don't ask me why, I guess they all have families and stuff' he said, smiling, 'It's only on one day and I get to spend two whole weeks there' He laughed and I laughed along with him, 'What about you?' he asked,
'Oh, um holiday' I said, 'My friend got this holiday for me as a 19th birthday present' I explained,
'Oh, you're 19?' he asked. I nodded,
'23' he told me. I nodded, 'Just 23, my birthday was last Tuesday' He doesn't look 23.. 'So, where you staying?' he asked. I didn't want to give him the address of location of where I was or anything, as cute as he was; I had only just met him...
'In a Hotel' I replied,
'Ah, right' he nodded,
'Are you staying in a hotel?' I asked,
'No, villa' he told me, he smiled, 'I own a place out there' he explained,
'Oh wow, I'd love to own a place out there' I said, smiling, 'So, are you staying with anyone?' I asked,
'Nah, on my own' he told me, 'When they told me the meeting was in Florida, I thought how convenient' he smiled, 'With-' he said, holding his finger up, '-a pool' he smiled. I laughed along with him,
'Most important thing' I said,
'Totally agree' he agreed, 'Can't come to Florida and not have your own pool. One, so you can chill out in there and two, so you don't burst into flames' he joked. I smiled and let out a laugh,
'So, how many times do you come to Florida then?' I asked, bringing my legs up to the chair and crossing them, sitting Indian style on the chair, facing him,
'Um, once everymonth' he said. Wow, how can he afford that?
'Is it good?' I asked,
'Yeah, it's great' he smiled,
'Is the weather nice then?' I smiled. He laughed,
'Yeah, it-Oh, one thing I should warn you about is you don't wanna be outside at around mid-afternoon time around this time of year' he told me,
'Why not?' I asked, in confusion,
''Cause it thunderstorms like crazy over there' he said. My eyes widened,
'R...really?' I stammered. I. Really. Hated. Thunderstorms,
'Yep' he nodded, 'You ok?' he asked, once he noticed me going pale,
'Yeah, I'm fine, I just really hate thunderstorms' I told him,
'Aw, that's cute' he smiled,
'You what?' I asked,
'It's cute' he shrugged,
'Oh, right, well it's fine for you, you're not the one who's curled up in her room every night there's a thunderstorm' I snapped,
'Ok, I'm sorry' he smiled. I was 99.8% sure that he didn't mean that, but I let it go. I looked at the clock. Four hours until my flight...which I guess is now our flight. As if he read my mind, Freddie said,
'So, what do you wanna do for the next four hours?' he asked. I shrugged, 'Well, I'll tell you what, you were content just sitting there with your nose in a book and I dragged you over here on a selfish basis and I'm sorry for that' he admitted, 'So, you just read your book and I'll just enjoy your company, ok?' he asked,
'Um, ok' I said, about to get my book out of my bag and stopped. I decided I'd try reading Freddie's book that was already on my knee. I straightened back against the chair and opened the book. I saw Freddie look at the book and smirk in the corner of my eye. He rested his feet on the table in front of him and leant back in his chair while closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head,
'Lemme know what you think' he said. I laughed slightly and began to read.
