Let It Snow!

Plane Ride

It doesn't snow in Santa Martina. Ever. Sure, it gets cold in the winter, but never cold enough to snow. Apparently, Bend, Oregon is nothing like that. According to Casey, in the winter it snows all the time.

Which, I guess, is the beginning of how I got dragged onto this trip.

Casey used karma to get me to come. "Sammy, you drag us with you all the time to places that you want to go. You take us along with you on your investigations, yet we don't complain. This, is nothing nearly as bad as what you take us on. It's just a ski trip, you can relax a bit, I talked to your dad already, and he said it's fine, and you can take some days off from work. Come on. Please? For me?" He pleaded with me so hard, his chocolate brown eyes were huge, and hard to say no to.

"...Fine." He smiled, then picked me up, and spun me around in the air multiple times, before landing me back on my feet, and kissing me ecstatically.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Then kissed me again, a twinkle in his eyes. Thinking back, I didn't think I'd ever seen the 20 year old so happy.

I guess it was worth it.

Casey led us onto the airplane, his fingers intertwined with mine. So far, my day had not been great. Not only had Casey dragged me out of bed early so I could finish packing, but I was getting sick of every girl who winked at Casey, or waved. Casey would politely smile at them back, but he knew I was close to punching them.

Very close.

Casey allowed me to go first so that I could take the window seat, then slid into the aisle me. Marissa, Billy, Holly, Dot, Kevin and Andy all had seats somewhere else, so they went off to find their seats while I rummaged through my backpack until I found what I was looking for: case papers. When Casey glanced over at me, he did a double take.

"You brought those? Sammy, I thought we agreed no work!" I gave him a scowl, I was still mad at him for letting all of those girls flirt with him, and for waking me up so early.

"I can't text on the plane, and I have nothing else to do." I said with a huff. He rolled his eyes and looked away,

"You know," he began after a few seconds, "You didn't have to come. If you're going to be like this, why don't you just leave?" I gave him a dirty look, then went back to looking at the papers.

Before I knew what was happening, someone was saying, "Oh, excuse me! These are our spots!" and a man and woman were shoving their backpacks under their seats, and sliding in next to Casey. They both seemed our age, 19 and 20, but I didn't know for sure, and sure didn't plan on asking.

I was in a horrible mood and didn't care if they sat there, as long as she kept her hands off my boyfriend.

Eventually, I shoved away the case files, and curled up to fall asleep. Apparently, I was exhausted, because falling asleep took no effort.

I was carefully shook awake by none other than Casey Acosta. "Hey," he whispered when my eyes fluttered open, "We're here." I shook my head and rested it on Casey's shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me, "C'mon, baby." he helped me up, took my backpack from me, and led me over to the others.

Before I knew it, we were off to Casey's aunts house, where we'd be staying.

This was going to be a long week.

Sorry if it's rushed, I gotta get going!

Review please!
