Chapter 2

She was terribly filled with deep emotions which she never got to share with her. Yes, she was madly in Love with Susan. Two years of one sided love.

_seat belt sign was off_

Eliot was to break the silence.

Eliot - "Are you still busy with something over your phone? i think the signal is lost by now?"

Susan - Ah!yes! iam just going through the photos. I was looking at the pictures in the gallery. She is my girlfriend R..

Eliot -Ruby

Susan - Hey! you did know? I didn't know you knew anything about me at all.

Eliot - That's not true, though! And true to some extent.

Susan Showing a picture from her gallery - See! This one! She was totally drunk in this and she was just not willing to get down from my lap. Susan smiled at the thought of the actual image.

Susan was in her own world explaining the moments with Ruby, while Eliot looked at the picture.

Her smile vanished. She felt jealous at the sight of the picture. But she has no choice. Not jealousy evenly. How can she feel jealous towards someone she doesn't even own?

Eliot looked out of the window and thought of the first time she ever met Susan with her eyes. it was when she first arrived at the college. She came to the admissions wing with her mom, Emma Ferrero . the admission process was simple, yet they were given VIP treatment. She looked out of the window from the admissions wing and saw Susan for the first time. She had this tom boyish look with hair upto her shoulders - Soft and brown with deep dark eyes, which speak way beyond. She was laughing at something with a group of girls and the laugh was loud and contagious. Eliot smiled at the way she laughed while she was interrupted.

The personal wing incharge spoke - "That was all , Mrs Emma ferrero, the process is complete. We can have Ms Eliot from next Monday."

They left the place and while coming down the steps, Eliot had her second glance at Susan. She didn't know her name, nor which class she was in, not even if she studied at the college. To her surprise, Susan looked upto her, gazed at her, still talking to the group , and smiled with her eyes.

Does she feel the same attraction towards me? Why she is even smiling at me, Eliot thought. "Stop it. It's too early" she thought, as the guards opened her car door and she well behavedly got into the car and never looked back at Susan.

She brought back her thoughts when she was interrupted by air hostess.

Air Hostess – excuse me ma'am, please put back the set belt. There is a mild turbulence.

As Eliot was putting back her seat belt, she saw that Susan was asleep, almost tilting her heard towards Eliot but not touching her shoulders yet. While the air hostess tried to wake up Susan, Eliot excused and said, she'd fix susans belt.

The air hostes noded and left.

While trying to grab the other end of Susans seat belt, Eliot was searching it leaning facing Susan, and she was centimeters away from Susans face. As she kept searching, that was the first time, she felt Susans breathe so close. It made her breathe warmer. the belt got tucked under Susans thigh and it was a bit difficult to pull it out while not disturbing her. And suddenly due to turbulence, the plane bumped and Susans lips feel straight on Eliots lips it felt like a Quick kiss and it felt like JOLT of electricity. She thought it was her first ever touch or contact she made with her lips and it only confirmed the amount if feelings she had for her.

Susan woke up to the bump, and fixed her belt while Eliot straightened as if nothing happened.

Susan – "Whats with all this?" Susan asked half asleep.

Eliot- "there is turbulence, the seat belt sign in on. Do you…."

She turned to susan to find her sleeping again in this time rightfully resting on her shoulder perfectly.

It was half past 11 in the night and most of the lights are already turned off and some people with reading lights here and there on the plane.

It was a while since Susan slept and Eliot was waiting for her to slip into deep slumber. She tilted her head and fixed it on Susans head this time. She moved her hand over Susans face , beginning to touch her for the first time, her closed eyes, with her dark , soft locks falling on her face, made her look more beautiful.

Eliot wanted the time to freeze, until she could touch Susan wholly and not waking her up.

With feelings bottled up for two years, she does deserve this. She thought to herself.
