Good Morning, Darlings!

Just for clarity's sake, yes the Titanic quip was one of her conspiracy theories! She's still got them full force!

All mistakes are on me!

Mid Flight

"Sir, can I get you anything else?"

I swear to god, that's the eighth time this bitch has come over to ask him that. She's ignoring everyone else around us and keeps interrupting our movie.

"No, he's married," I snap, practically laying across his chest. Edward snorts under me and the flight attendant blinks, either shocked by my audacity or because she's only just realized I'm next to him.

"Um, yes, of course," she says, shaking her head lightly. "Well, let us know if you need anything," she cuts me a look before hauling ass down the plane. Edward wraps an arm around my shoulders and I look at him.

"Jealous much?" he teases. I huff.

"I'm just protecting your virtue."

Edward laughs so loud, it startles everyone in a six chair radius around us. He buries his face into my hair, clutching onto me as he shakes with laughter. I curl up tighter into his side. The plane is way bigger than anything I've ever been on, and houses two seats on the outer rows, with four in seats in the middle of the plane. Edward tells me there are planes even bigger than this, which just seems stupid. We have a pair of seats to ourselves on the outer edge, and Edward, being the supportive man he is, let me have the window seat. It's a great gesture, but I've been drinking water nonstop. Edward says it's normal to get dehydrated on long flights like this and maybe so, but I'm chugging so much water I've had to pee almost every hour. There is really no winning with me.

I curl up into Edward's side again to resume our movie when I fucking have to pee again. I hold it as long as possible, but being in a plane is fucking with my bladder.

"Babe," I whine. Edward sighs, pausing his iPad.

"Seriously?"

He starts to get up, but I'm clambering over him before he can move. He grunts when I nearly knee him in the balls.

"Bella," he chokes.

I stand in the aisle and look down at him. Okay, so yes, I'm medicated right now, which is keeping me mostly calm but is also fucking with my balance pretty badly. I probably shouldn't be trying to crawl across him in this condition. "Sorry," I send him a sheepish smile, patting his shoulder before heading back to the bathroom.

It's gross, absolutely tiny, and smells terrible. It's a relief to pee, but as soon as I stand up the pressure of the cabin makes me feel like I need to pee again. It's annoying as fuck.

I wash up and make my way back down the aisle to my seat. Some ass hat is leaning with his legs halfway out in the aisle and my eyes narrow as I approach him. He glances up when I pause next to him, but then his eyes flicker back to his movie.

So I kick him.

The guys jumps, startled and I make my eyes go as wide as they can. "Gosh, turbulence!" I say in an overly dramatic voice. "Better watch out for all your things! Would hate for anything to get ripped away from you."

The guy is glaring at me, too stunned to talk just yet, and I turn and haul ass down the aisle. I crawl over Edward, taking him by surprise as I do.

"You know I could stand," he grunts. I settle on his lap a moment.

"Nah, I like feeling you up."

He laughs and winds his arms around my waist, holding me to him before I can fully climb off.

"I like it too," he whispers.

His kiss is just enough to spark me up and I pull away from him, grunting.

"No," I pout, slipping off of him and into my own seat.

"No?" Edward asks, one eyebrow lifting in his amusement.

"The bathroom is disgusting and there are like, kids around," I huff. Edward grins, hooking his fingers through mine.

"So, you do have boundaries."

I stick my tongue out at him as he laughs.

"Come on." I nudge him with my shoulder. "Let's finish this damn movie."
