The next morning, Keely just threw on some comfy clothes for the long 4 hour plane ride and put on some make - up. She wanted to be comfortable, but she also wanted to look good to see what Phil would say. She put on a pair of blue jeans, flip - flops, a plain green tank top, and pulled her hair up into a ponytail with a pink scrunchie. She thought she looked pretty... but she didn't want to sound braggy.
Meanwhile, Phil got up at 5:30 am, 15 minutes after Keely. He combed his hair, brushed
his teeth, washed his face as Keely did, and put on a pair of jeans and a Hollister Surf Club shirt with
a pair of Etnies, skateboarding shoes. He wanted to see if Keely would say anything about him. As
he thought about her and what slipped out of her mouth last night, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He also wanted to smell good, so he put on some cologne... something he rarely did.
Keely was waiting on the couch for Phil to arrive, and while she was waiting she put two portable CD players with a ton of CD's, at least 15 or 16, in her bag. She thought she would be nice and let Phil use one, since he didn't have a CD player. Then she squirted on some last minute perfume so she would smell nice, incase Phil hugged her.
Finally, after what seemed like hours but was really only minutes, Phil rang her doorbell.
" Hey, Philly - Willy! " Keely said giggling.
" I thought we agreed that was off the table, " Phil said with a playful grin.
" He... I'm sorry, " Keely said sarcastically.
" MOM! WE'RE READY TO GO! " Keely yelled at the top of her lungs.
" OKAY! GET ME MY KEYS! " her mom yelled back.
Keely then went to the key rack to get her mother's keys, and Phil watched her the
whole time.
" My god, she's hot! " Phil thought to himself, a wild look in in his eyes that Keely couldn't
see. He was glad that she couldn't see him do that. She might think he was going to rape her or
something.
As Keely's mom walked down the steps with a purse that had Bambi on it, her eyes were watery and sad.
" I'm going to miss you, Jelly Bean, " she said to Keely, making Phil crack a smile.
" I'll miss you too, mom, " she said as she headed toward the car. But Phil beat her to it and he opened her car door for her and she looked at him nicely.
" Thank you, Phil! " Keely said, smiling at him. " You're sweet. " Then she turned around and kissed Phil on the cheek, and it made him feel like flying. He stood there for a moment, staring at the sky absorbing all of it in when Mandy, Keely's mom, rolled down her window and said, " Are you getting in the car, Phil, or are you walking to Mandelino? "
Phil smiled nervously and jumped into the car next to Keely and didn't say a word.
After a 30 minute ride they arrived at the airport and got out of the car to say their goodbyes to Keely's mom and Phil's family, who had agreed to meet them there in the morning to say goodbye to Phil again and to say goodbye to Keely.
Of course Mandy's goodbye was emotional. Her mom was very dramatic, as you might notice. She's also too... lovey - dovey. It's weird.
" Well, goodbye, Phil, " his dad said, hugging him along with his mom who kissed him on the cheek. Pim also hugged him, but when she broke away she gave him a playful dirty look as if she didn't care.
" Bye, Kee, " Lloyd said and hugged her. Then Barb hugged her and gave her a little kiss
on the cheek. " You kids have a good time, " she said and smiled at Keely. Then she looked at Pim,
motioning to say goodbye to Keely with her eyes. Pim rolled hers and slowly walked over to Keely.
" Bye, Blondie, " she said, giving her a very quick hug. " Have a good time. "
Keely smiled at her and patted her head. Pim just looked away, disgusted. Phil rolled his eyes and grinned at his mom and his mom gave a shrug as if to say ' I give up '.
As Phil and Keely walked to the plane, their parents and Phil's sister already gone,
Keely told Phil that she brought two CD players, one for her and one for him.
" Thanks, Keel! That's great! " he said, patting her shoulder. She cracked a smile, the touch of Phil's hand making her heart melt.
" All aboard the private plane for Mandelino! I repeat, all aboard the private plane for Mandelino! " the announcer called over the loudspeaker, his voice booming.
" That's us! " Phil said, and picked up his bags. As Keely grabbed hers, her purse fell and she was about to get it, but Phil bent down with all his strength even though he was loaded down by luggage and picked it up for her.
" Thanks, Phil, " she said, reaching out her hand to grab the purse. But Phil pulled away and said, " I got it. "
" Oh, ok... thank you! " Keely said grinning from ear to ear.
" No problem. "
When they boarded the small plane with just a few passengers, Phil was about to sit down by the window when he remembered how Keely loved to sit by the window on the bus.
" Keel, do you want the window seat? I know how much you like it on the bus. "
" Really, Phil? Thanks! You know, you sure are quite a gentleman today. "
" I know, that makes me adorable. "
Keely rolled her eyes jokingly and snickered.
As they began moving through the sky, Keely began to get sleepy and layed her head on Phil's shoulder, biting her lip. She could hear his beautiful heart beating in her head, and the soft rhythm lulled her off to sleep.
At first Phil thought nothing of it, because Keely did this a lot. But something felt.
different this time, like she did this as being more than a friend. He liked how it felt different, and
he wished that she never had to get up.
After about 30 more minutes, Keely was still asleep on his shoulder, but now she was
asleep and wasn't aware what she was doing. She then shifted her weight and hugged him around
the neck, holding on to him light as a feather. He also began to get tired, and he then gently
layed his head on top of her's and drifted off to sleep. He loved the feeling he got in his stomach
when he saw Keely, and especially the feeling he had right now. It felt so... magical.
And surprisingly, Keely felt the same way.
