Somewhere deep down inside I knew Alfred was smart but today just wasn't his day. I guess its just an American thing not being able to read a map or know anything about the world because instead of flying east he went west.
"Were just going to stop at Arthur's place to get some more fuel Kay?" He asked picking up the radio receiver. I nodded and sighed softly. It had only taken me ten minutes to excuse myself to the bathroom. I was going to be polite and listen but when I watched his mouth move it just made me harder.
Because of the incident I had learned not to watch his lips as he talked at a million miles an hour. That poor boy must have been dropped on his head when he was born or something because he could talk with out breathing I swear.
"Hey Arthur I need some gas you should meet me!" He said happily to the grouchy short English man. I shook my head no trying to make him stop but Arthur and Alfred already had plans.
"Okay see you in an hour Arthur" He said putting the radio mic down. He then turned to me and was shocked at my un happy face.
"What are you doing? No one's suppose to know I'm here!" I snapped in anger at the poor boy. He blinked but suddenly his face lit up.
"You'll hide in the bathroom while me and Arthur have tea…is tea any good I don't know after all most the time I just drink…" I covered his mouth suddenly.
"Look Alfred we don't have time for this!" I said quickly trying to make him understand just how urgent this was. But, he just didn't under stand he pulled away from me laughing.
"Yes we do trust me so just hide in the bathroom when the time comes okay?" I shook my head no. There was no weay I was doing what he said.
"Ivan your going to hide in the bathroom on your own free will or ill let Arthur in on our little secret." I was in such shock at the tone of his voice. Everything about Alfred had suddenly changed. I knew the poor thing had his moments but I hadn't seen him like this in years.
"Understood" I said weakly. What was I doing showing worry and fear in the face of Alfred. He was the stupid one the only way this could be worse is if I was groveling at Francis's feet.
"Good" He said leaning over and kissing my cheek. My face grew bright red and I turned away from him. My heart was pounding in my chest and I had no clue why. What was this stupid American doing to me?
It took me a whole hour to figure out that I had a slight crush on him. And, as I sat in the bathroom my mind told me that I really was. Alfred was talking about meeting some hot babe in Russia. He said that the "babe" tried to act like they were all that but he had tamed the beast inside them.
"That bastard. I wonder who she was" I muttered to myself as he talked about the babe. It wasn't to long before Arthur got to bored of hearing about Alfred's babe.
"Well I don't think you'll be able to see your um babe" Arthur said to Alfred. This caught my attention. I pressed my ear to the flimsy door and tired to hear more.
"Why not? I'm allowed in Russia when ever I want" Alfred said. I heard Arthur's cup of tea be set down on to his place. He then sighed.
"Listen Alfred Ivan's missing" Alfred started laughing.
"Hey you idiot listen to me this is important!" Arthur yelled angrily at the laughing Alfred. I was starting to get scared. What if he spilled the secret. What if Alfred told Arthur. I was dead meat.
"That's so funny Arthur!" Alfred said to him. I could tell Arthur was thoroughly pissed. But, that didn't stop Alfred apparently.
"What makes you say that, huh?" He asked his tone going back to normal as the laughing stopped.
"Well we had a meeting today. I just made it home when you called. You and Ivan were supose to be there of course we didn't expect you to show but we were sure Ivan would. Now, you wouldn't happen to know where he is, would you?" He asked now actually trying to make Alfred talk. I could tell he was thinking on his feet when I heard his response.
"Hes sick. He got a cold. Can you imagine a Russian getting a cold?" He started to laugh. Arthur sighed.
"Well thank you for the information ill send him my best chicken noodle soup" He said. I knew this meeting was coming to a close. And sure enough it had. It wasn't ten minutes before Alfred came to get me.
"I guess we should have gone to the meeting before hand right?" He said. I shrugged and followed him back to our seats. We took off and we were on our way to his house. I smiled happily seeing the beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But my smile slowly faded and I turned to Alfred.
"So you meet some hot babe back in my country did you?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yep, the hottest" His smile was beaming.
"Well should I send for her so you may spend time with her?" I asked turning to face the water again with out the smile.
"Nah she's already here" He said. I turned to look for the girl on the plane but found no one.
"Where? Alfred I said no one was to know!" I snapped slamming my hand down on the arm of my chair. All Alfred did was laugh at me as he hit the auto piloted button. He stood up and moved to sit back down in my lap. I tried to push him off but he held onto my neck.
"It's you' He said pressing his lips to mine.
