"Shit!" Emma glanced at the clock and realised she had no more time left to do her packing. Why didn't I just do this last night HELL I could try and be organised for once in my life and not do it the night before I leave for work. For Emma even a night before was organised in her mind. She rushed down the stairs of her Boston apartment put her hair into a messy ponytail and hollered a cab. Once she reached the airport she had just enough time to grab a coffee and a few snacks in duty free. This isn't too much for a nine hour flight right?. she thought to herself as she put the two bags onto her small pull along suitcase. She joins the boarding line and pulls out her phone and texts Ruby. Maybe she will be at the villa the same time as me I know she's gonna be out there sometime when I am but not sure what villa shell be at.
Hey ruby I was wondering where you're working if you were at the same place as me? Casa Roberti in the mountains? x
Hey em, yeah I'll be there they have a really cool chill night at the maids house before Blue gets there :) so me and you will have to go buy drinks! Xxx
Ah man YES! But yeah we'll go out one night just us as well ;) can't wait its good I will have a friend, gotta turn my phone off now bye x
Safe flight babe see you Tuesday! :) xxx
"Good afternoon, passport and boarding pass please" the overly excited stewardess said. Emma was prepared for this she got them out as soon as she got inline "oh it's your lucky day a seat in first class has just became available, you're welcome to have it if you'd like?" Emma felt her jaw drop but quickly brought it back up and composes herself. "Sorry what?" she couldn't believe what was happening this never happened to her, the stewardess repeated the offer. oh thank god now I will be able to sleep "yes please I would never refuse an upgrade" Emma couldn't get the smile off her face she couldn't believe the day she was having apart from her lack of organisation with her packing, she had found her favourite candies on offer hence the two full bags one almost completely full of reeses cups AND now she got an upgrade.
First class isn't that different from standard it's just bigger seats and more room maybe better service but still basically the same. A stewardess greeted her at the entrance to the plane looking suspiciously too happy to be stuck on a plane for almost nine hours Emma though. "Good afternoon madam, would you like me to take your bags and guide you to your seat?" Emma nodded "yeah thanks". She sat in her seat and accepted the complimentary champagne, not before asking if it was free or not because she had no money on her only to get looks from the passengers being seated. She didn't fit in here at all.
Emma was woken by a man making a fuss over the food, I mean I'm a foodie but this guy is taking the serious piss now. "Sir, I'm sorry but the food will not be served for another hour I have asked the pilot and he said it's not possible for you to get your meals early" the man had been complaining the whole way though the flight and had interrupted Emma's snacking and sleeping so many times she was close to punching the guy in the face. She basically got his life story; He was here for a family gathering and a few meetings with his wife and would be meeting the rest of the family in a hotel near the airport Emma was getting board of their conversation until they mentioned their daughter and what they were planning: "Cora dear we don't know the boy very well…"
"we simply don't need to. We just need the connection and Regina hasn't found anyone yet which makes this the perfect opportunity to both one, improve our business status and two help Regina find someone who will take care of her"
"she won't be at all happy about this, you know how she looks forward to this trip so she can have a rest… I hope you are prepared for her wrath she won't like knowing she has to do work"
"Henry, honey please stop worrying his mother is a good friend of mine and they will be joining us for a short week stay so you will have plenty of time to meet and get to know them"
"CORA!" he realised his voice was too loud and looked around to see Emma basically leaning into their conversation and gave her a glare Shit! smooth one Emma!. That didn't stop her from still listening in and readjusted herself so she could still hear, but the one earphone out and reeses wrappers all over her made it too clear that she was listening in.
"Excuse me dear…" Emma was confused
"Excuse me…Reeses" she turned slightly away in her chair in a pathetic late attempt at looking like she was minding her own business, but miserably failing. Did she just refer to me as Reeses? She felt a light tap on her shoulder; she looked up with a confused face that must look comical from Cora's view.
"oh-erm..Hi" The woman looked terrifying to say the least she was dressed in a smart suit clearly worth her whole years wages probably.
"yes dear I couldn't help but realise you looked particularly interested in our convosation?"
"er-..i- didn'-"
"yes you were clearly listening you basically jumped in your seat when you heard my husband raise his voice"
"well it wa-" Emma was cut off again man this woman is a bitch!
"well… id appreciate it if you'd stop. it's a private conversation, didn't your mother ever teach you manners? Its common decency…" she paused and looked Emma up and down "also I don-"
"My name is, EM-MA" FUCK! She's gonna slap me I can see it happening…why isn't she moving!? Is she dead?!
"well dear.." thank fuck Jesus... "You have made it clear you have no manners and I'm not quite sure what you're doing in this class because you clearly don't belo-"
"Is there a problem here?" the stewardess from earlier approached.
"yes quite alright dear, thank you" Cora gave the fakest smile Emma had ever seen and stepped back to her seat.
"Could I get you anything madam?" The stewardess raised her eyebrow judgement fully, Emma was shocked that it seemed this was all being landed on her DAMN people need to chill on here. "No thank you", obviously this still didn't stop Emma from listening in.
"Was that honestly necessary Cora?" she gave Henry a stern look.
"Clearly I didn't get through to her because Reeses is still listening in" could this get anymore embarrassing I need to STOP!
"well I just hope you know what you're doing"
"I just want the best for her you know this." and with that the conversation was over and Emma fell into another deep sleep.
