Once we ate 'dinner', which was just fruit, we started to play twenty questions as the sun slowly set on the right side where Helen was sitting, reading her magazine and smiled as she listened to our conversations.
"Okay, okay, first question, favorite color?" I asked. He grinned at me as I sat sideways in my chair. Facing him.
"Hmm… that's hard, I've always liked blue, wait no, red, green! Sorry light brown- wait-"
"Let's just settle on blue green" I laughed. He smiled at me and showed off his dimples.
"Favorite movie?" he asked. I thought for a minute.
"I don't know, I guess it could be Casino Royale, the James Bond movie, not the fifties one" I told him. He gaped.
"Have I ever told you that you are pretty amazing" He said. I couldn't help myself but to laugh. I blushed too. I could hear Helen coo. I turned towards her.
"This is adorable" she said and looked ready to cry. I slightly raised an eyebrow at her. I turned back to Travis.
"What's yours?" I asked him. He grinned at me.
"Back to the future" he responded, I smiled at him.
"Hobbies?" he asked.
"Gardening" I answered right away. "Sorry, I just love studying different plants, funny that I want to be a biologist, anyway-" I was cut off by a young red-headed woman, she had the flight attendant uniform on.
"Sir, would you like a pillow? Or something else…" She winked at Travis. I coughed and she turned confused towards me.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Please try not to hit on him or else you will end up as your own airplane food" I said, in a kind voice. She blushed and walked away. Travis turned towards me.
"I didn't know you got so jealous" Travis said. I gave him a small glare. "It's a turn on" he whispered to me. I blushed and looked away. We forgot about the twenty questions and he slowly fell asleep, it was hard for me to fall asleep so I just read the air magazine thing they have.
I looked around and everyone else was asleep, what time was it? I looked at the GPS thing built in, it said it was 11 at night, I thought a lot of people stay up late. I just started to assume that people were just tired from having a long day at the airport. I looked back at the magazine and it showed these really colorful rainboots. I laughed quietly and put it back in the holder and drifted off.
When I woke up I realized that I didn't dream a thing and my neck hurt. I cracked it and turned to Travis. He was still asleep. I looked around and a little more than half of the plane was awake. I smiled and thanked the African American flight attendant that gave me breakfast. It was pretty big, so I decided to put down both of our tables they built in and I put the plate on my table.
I stretched as I got up and went to the bathroom. It was empty, yes! I locked it and took my shirt off, showing my undershirt and put on a loose tank top, it said NYC in fancy handwriting. It was dark red and the letters were white. I put on white skinny jeans and nude flats. I put my hair in a messy bun and left. I did it all in about four minutes. Personal record.
I walked back to my seat and sat down next to a sleeping Travis. I leaned over to his ear.
"Breakfast" I whispered to him. He smiled in his sleep. I pinched his nose. He woke up and pulled away my fingers.
"Damn, Katie" he said. I laughed a little bit.
"Breakfast" I said. He grinned and took the milk and cereal. I took the yogurt and orange juice. The woman took the plate and told us that she would come around later with a trash bag. We thanked her and she smiled before leaving.
We talked about college until the seatbelts on sign came. We buckled up as the plane landed. Once they said we were clear to go, I got up and grabbed my bag. I waited for Travis as he got his own bag. He smiled at me and we walked off together.
"Is anyone waiting at the gate for you?" I asked him as we walked through to the gate. He shook his head.
"I had to come early, it was the only flight I could get and I had to get all the room cards" He said. I laughed.
"Same, baggage claim is over here" I pointed to the sign leading us to where we pick up our bags. We walked over to the flight number and waited for our bags to show up. Travis picked up three huge bags while I picked up four even bigger bags and we dragged them to a taxi. I threw mine in the back and Travis did the same then helped me.
Together we had enough money. The taxi driver was an older woman with one eye. She kept muttering to herself. She had stringy grey hair and one tooth. We didn't talk in the taxi, it was a little awkward. Once we got out of the car she sped off somewhere.
"Let's check in" I said to Travis, he nodded.
"Our friends should be on the plane by now, at least some of them" He told me as we walked in. It was a really nice hotel. There was a black and white theme going on and there was a section where you could sit and watch TV, like a mini living room and a sign that showed you where the pool is.
"Hi, I'd like to check in for Katie Gardner, there should be five rooms under the name" I said to the lady. She smiled at me and gave me the key cards after I showed her my ID.
"Travis Stoll, there should be five rooms" Travis mocked me.
"Haha" I still smiled a little bit. He got his rooms and his were on the third floor like mine. We each got one of those carts and put our stuff on them. We got in the elevator.
"So are we going to do anything today or just relax?" I asked my boyfriend.
"I'm going to relax, sorry Kates but after a day on a plane, I'm tired" he said. I smiled.
"I'm fine with that, my room should have a good view, should be next to yours, right?" I grinned at him. He smirked back at me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Maybe tomorrow we could go out for dinner" he whispered. I laughed and nodded. The door opened and we pushed our carts out. He entered the room a few doors down from mine. I was only joking about his room being next to mine, it was three down to the left from mine.
When I got to my room I went right to the balcony. It showed the beautiful blue water. I could see people on the beach. I looked to my left and saw Travis. I smiled.
"Great view! Like I said!" I yelled. He looked over at me and left.
"Not as great as mine!" he yelled back. I smiled and went back in the room. There were three beds, one for me, one for my half-sister, Miranda, and the last for my friend Rachel, who spent most of the money for all of this, she booked the rooms under my name after she bought Percy, Leo, and Nico tickets because they couldn't afford it.
Rachel was one of the kindest people I knew. She had a super rich father, he didn't pay much attention to her and every week she got a bunch of money. She saved up all year for this. When it turned out that both her and Annabeth had a crush on Percy, Rachel let Annbeth have him and got over him pretty quick.
I sighed as I found smoothies in the mini-fridge, they didn't seem watery, but perfect, they still had the small pieces of ice in them. I smiled and took one. I walked out to the balcony and layed down on one of the chairs. I smiled as I felt my muscles relax when I layed down. I smiled as I closed my eyes and felt the sun in my eyes. There was a knock on the door. I got up and walked over to it.
I opened the door and saw Helen. I smiled at her and let her in. She went to the couch I had and sat down with one leg over the other.
"Aren't we going outside? I thought women love to get tan?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"Katie, do you know who I am?" she asked. I nodded.
"You're Helen"
"I'm Helen, but I'm a actress, model, and designer, have you seen any of my movies?" she asked. I studied her for a minute. I nodded.
"Yeah, I remember seeing a movie of yours not to long ago, I remember, why would you talk to someone like me?" I asked her. She smiled.
"You and Travis's relationship is adorable to me, I would love to produce a movie like it, so I'm going to follow your relationship, it's interesting, I might play your part" she smiled. I laughed.
"You think you can pull off Katie? You're crazy" I joked. She laughed.
"Thank you Katie, for understanding, I have to go now, I'm designing my new winter line" she said.
"What about your fall line?" I asked her. She laughed and patted my head.
"Your adorable, I already did, that's how it is in fashion! You're always a season or two ahead, bye Katie" he walked to the door. I smiled and waved.
"See you later Helen" I said. She left me with a smile. I laughed and went to the fridge. I found that it had more food than I thought. I smiled as I took out a sandwich that was wrapped up in plastic. I smiled as I unwrapped it and made sure it was good to eat.
I walked out of my room, leaving the other ten room cards in the room. There was one for every one of my friends who was coming. I walked to Travis's room and knocked on the door. A few seconds later he opened it and was on the phone. I shifted on my feet, then made a gesture showing that I could go back to my room. He shook his head and let me in.
"Connor, tell Drew that Austin is sitting next to her, if he isn't find the one of you who is and once you get on the plane switch the seats, got it? I have to go, tell Nyssa that she should pack instead of working on that car, see you later, bye" He said. I laughed silently at the girl, Drew.
"So what's up?" he asked me. I got up form one of the two beds he had and stood there awkwardly.
"Helen visited me" I said. He raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't anything bad, she just said that she was a celebrity and wanted to make us a movie… I just find it weird, she'll be watching what we do, hell, for all I know she's watching right now" I told him. He came over and hugged me.
"You know, for someone I met a day ago, I feel close to you" he whispered to me. I smiled in his chest.
"I'd have to say the same thing" I said. I could feel his smiled as he kissed my head. I laughed when he did, I don't know why, I just did.
"Hey, where did I put my smoothie…" I trailed off. Travis handed me my smoothies and laughed at me. I rolled my eyes and punched his arm.
"You can be so stupid, it contributes to your big ego" I laughed at him. He gave me a small glare. I laughed harder at him.
"Your glares need work" I laughed. "Please stop, it hurts" He grinned at me and put an arm around my shaking waist and another around my shoulders and pulled his head down. He put his forehead to mine.
"Stop laughing yet?" he asked. I had stopped laughing but he was just trying to say that to make me want to kiss him. It was working. I had a small smiled on my face as I put my arms around his neck lazily and went on my tiptoes to kiss him. I pushed my lips towards his and felt his soft lips against mine.
