Emily

'Fuck!'

I slowly opened my eyes but I couldn't see anything. It was warm and stuffy which made it hard to breath. It was dark and my eyes didn't want to adjust to the low lighting. I shook my head and yawned. Suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my ears and then the deafening sound of engines made my head hurt.

I looked over to my left at my girlfriend whom slept by the small window. She slept with her mouth open as she used to, her blonde hair in a sweet mess. She slept, which I also wanted to. But the warm and stuffy air made it too hard to sleep, and now, when I had my full hearing back, the noise made it impossible to fall back asleep. I felt my neck getting warm and sticky. I looked back and saw a flight attendant walk at my direction.

"Excuse me. Why is it so stuffy in here?" I asked whispering to the passing flight attendant.

"I'm so sorry the air condition is not functioning the way it should. We are trying to fix it… Can I get you some water?" she looked at me with a concerned look on her face.

I just shook my head and leaned back in my seat. I looked at my wristwatch and noticed that it was almost three hour left before landing. I closed my eyes and tried to fall back asleep.

Something touched me and I twitched and opened my eyes to face a shocked Naomi. She had poked me in my arm.

"I'm sorry… did I wake you up?" she asked and lay her head on my shoulder.

"No… I didn't sleep. It's too hot."

"Sorry about that." She said a bit full of herself.

I heard her sarcasm and I could feel her smiling so I hit her light over her head.

"Ouch!" she whispered.

"The air-conditioner is broke…"

"I know I heard when you asked the flight attendant."

"How long have you been awake?" I asked.

"Dunno… a while."

She snuggled up close to me. Well, as close as she could with an armrest between us. She took my hand and I could feel her examine my hand by touching my fingers and gently touching my palm. She kissed my hand and took it in hers. 'Is it possible to love someone more every second?'

"We are on the way now." She whispered against my palm.

"Yeah, we are."

I felt how my eyelids were about to close. I wanted to fall asleep, but I could hardly breathe because of the bad air. I felt the sweat on my forehead, and having Naomi half leaning on me didn't make it better. But she looked so sweet where she lay so I hadn't the heart to move.

"I'm gonna sleep now. When are we landing?" She asked and tried to turn my arm so she could look at the clock.

"Stop that. You are totally fuckin twisting my arm off." I twisted my arm back to a comfortable position. "We land in about three hours."

"We've got to get you a wristwatch of your own." I added.

"Why? I have a phone you know."

"Yeah, but you can't use the phone on an airplane."

"Well, good night then." Naomi said and snuggled up beside me.

"Sorry. We're about to land. You have to pull up your seatback."

I looked around in the light and crowded airplane. The air was cool, so they must have fixed the air conditioner. I looked at Naomi who sat up and looked out through the small airplane window. I straightened myself and pulled up the seatback. I felt nauseous because of the change of position.

"Look!" She exclaimed and pointed at the window.

I leaned over and looked out.

"It's beautiful."

"And sunny." She added and laughed. "I bet it's raining in England now."

"Well, honestly I don't care about that." I said and kissed her on the cheek as I leaned back in my seat.

When the airplane started to land I took Naomi's hand and squeezed it tight. I never liked to fly, especially not the landings. Not that I had been abroad that many times.

But it felt as if my guts were about to come up through my throat. I must have looked as if I were about to throw up because Naomi gave me a paper bag to vomit in. But nothing came thankfully. When we hit the ground I felt so thankful that we finally had reached Goa.

Naomi

We didn't walk through those walkways now. Instead there was just a staircase out. The difference between the cool air in the airplane and the warm air outside was tremendous. It felt like being hit by a heat wave, a wall.

"Fucking hell!" I heard Emily behind me as she too walked out of the airplane.

She walked up beside me and I grabbed her hand. I looked at her as she tried to cool herself by dragging in her shirt. My thoughts instantly went underneath her shirt. I imagined Emily in a bikini... her lovely body.

I must have looked longingly at her because she met my gaze and made questioning face. "What?"

"Nothing." I said and quickly looked ahead of me.

As we got out of the airport we grabbed a taxi. Thankfully it was cool inside the cab.

"Where you go?" The man behind the wheel asked with an accent. He looked at Emily and me while and he used the seat beside him to push him around so that he could face us.

"This is fucking shit." I said and threw the suitcase on the double bed.

"Sorry babes, you know we can't afford something better if we want to stay long." Emily said and wrapped her arms around me.

"I know, but did you have to choose a hotel with smoke free rooms?" I kissed her. "Well, at least we have a double bed."

"Yeah… but…. Let's… pack up." Emily said between kisses.

"Sure." I kissed her again.

Emily pulled her red hair up in a ponytail and dived into our suitcase.

We packed up and made ourselves at home in the small flat. We had booked a small flat for this trip. But I had sort of planned for me and Emily to stay at a hotel for the last few days to lengthen our trip and surprise her a bit.

I felt in my pocket my pack of cigarettes. 'Fucking hell, I want one now so fucking badly!' I felt the craving to lit one. Emily sat by the desk and wrote on something. So I walked up to a window and sneakily dragged out a cigarette.

"Don't you dare to fucking lit that one." I heard Emily say from the desk.

I looked at her, and to my surprise she didn't look at me. How the heck did she know I what was doing then?

"I want one!" I complained like a kid.

"But I thought you quit after your accident. At least you didn't smoke at the hospital, right?"

"No of course I didn't, and it was a complete hell. Don't you want one?" I held out a cigarette.

"Not now, I'm writing a letter to Katie. Otherwise she will kill me."

"Don't be like that." I said and walked to her and hugged her from the back.

"Like what?" She turned to face me. She looked at me for a couple of seconds. Her gaze travelled towards my cigarette "Oh give me that!"

She grabbed the cigarette I held in my hand with her mouth. I just smiled and lit it for her.

"We should however open a window." I said and opened one of the three windows in the bedroom.

I stood beside her and looked out at the street below. There were tourists and natives everywhere. Some salesmen waked around and tried to charm the tourists with scarves and jewellery. Everything I saw lay behind the smoke Emily created as she smoked my cigarette.

"Here." She held out the cigarette for me and I took it.

"It's sort of peaceful you know." Emily said after a while.

Her harsh and rough voice sounded even sexier when she had smoked. I smoked up the cigarette and looked at Emily's beautiful profile. And she was all mine.

"Yeah... "I looked down and made sure no one was underneath the window before I dropped the butt of the cigarette.

"We are finally here." Emily said and hugged me.

In hugged her back and put my arms on her shoulders. "So what shall we do first?" I smiled and kissed her cute lips.
