"Flight 104, ready for boarding." The automated voice called out.
"Finally." Samantha growled. She threw out her fifth coffee cup and
stood beside Martin in the economy class line.
"Lookin kinda rough huh?" Martin teased.
"Just shut up Martin. 4 hours. Damn delayed plane." Samantha snapped.
"Woah, ok." Martin smiled, physically backing away.
"Sorry, it's just been a stressful couple of days." Samantha sighed.
Martin offered her a comforting arm. "Well they're over now." He
paused, "Right back to the office for hours and hours of paperwork."
Martin joked.
Samantha immediatley pushed his arm off and gave him an icy stare when
Martin laughed.
"Passport and boarding pass please." A cranky looking lady said,
holding out her hand expectantly.
After thoroughly inspecting the documents, the lady handed them back.
"Have a nice flight. Next!"
Martin and Samantha exchanged looks and laughed.
Ducking into the plane, Martin lead the way to the seats.
"I get the window seat." Martin called out loudly.
"Shh! And I get the window seat. See?" Samantha whispered, pointing to
her ticket.
"Sorry, I didn't bring my glasses." Martin said, squinting and sitting
down.
"You don't wear glasses." Samantha said.
"You should sit down, you're holding up the line." Martin whispered,
pointing to the line of people accumulating behind Samantha.
Samantha rolled her eyes and sat down in the aisle seat with her arms
crossed.
Martin leaned back and stretched his arms behind his back, sighing
heavily.
"Have you ever heard of chivalry, Fitzgerald?" Samantha asked.
"You're right. Would you like my seat?" Martin offered.
"In fact, yes." Samantha said, switching with Martin. She sat down
then immediately stood back up.
"What did you do?" Samantha asked, feeling the seat. "It's all wet!"
Martin shrugged, then turned to talk to the flight attendant who
needed to button up her shirt.
Samantha sat back down gingerly, buckled her seatbelt, rested her head
on the back of the seat and closed her eyes. This was going to be a
long flight.
