Frozen in time
"Flight 52 to Seattle Washington now boarding rows 16 – 24"
I sighed as I picked up the backpack on the floor by the chair that became my bed this last night. I groaned and made my way to the gate door. The woman who was taking the boarding passes was to cheery for being awake and working at five in the morning.
"Good Morning!" The high pitched voice of the woman broke my sleep hazed mind. I growled at her and handed her my pass.
"Good Night" I grumbled as I passed her and made my way towards the plane.
Whoever said that the early bird gets the worm was crazy. I counted the rows as I passed them until I got to the last row, 24.
I smiled to myself as I realized that I might be alone in my row. But of course, I wasn't so lucky.
About 25 minutes into the flight I had the volume on my ipod turned up as far as it would go in hopes that the woman sitting next to me would get the hint and quit talking to me. Of course, today was not my day and she talked the entire flight.
I watched as the blue sky passed by my window and smiled when the plane descended into the clouds.
The flight attendant announced that the plane would be landing soon, and asked that we prepare.
I looked over at the woman sitting next to me, she was finally sleeping, and just my luck, only 15 minutes of silence.

The airport wasn't crowded at all, but I didn't care, my eyes drooped closed as I walked through the terminal towards baggage claim.
It was apparent that baggage was taking a while so I walked towards a bench and sat down and pulled out my cell phone.
Dialing in the all to familiar numbers, hoping that he was awake.
"Hello?" A woman answered.
"Hi, is Sam there?" my words were slurred together from the lack of sleep.
"Um, may I ask who this is?" Oh no, she must think I'm a lover.
"I'm just a friend, no worries." I could almost hear her thinking.
"He isn't here right now, he said he was on his way to the airport." I smiled, he remembered.
"Oh, ok thanks." I hung up and laid down on the bench trying to get some small amount of sleep.
I woke up some time later by someone picking me up. I was about to panic but I remembered that feeling of warmth that spread through me from the contact of skin.
I felt myself being placed in the back seat of a vehicle and my head being placed on someone's lap.
It was nice, whoever I was laying on was rubbing small circles on my exposed neck. And, I slept with a slight smile on my face.
What do you think?
This is just an intro, I wanted to give a little view into what was going on.
