Chapter 11 : The Flight
I woke up extra early in the morning. I walked out the house wearing sweats, slippers and glasses instead contacts. I was dropping my brother of at the airport so he could go back Florida. When we got there got his stuff out of the back and sat it on the curb. We looked at each other before he moved his arms apart and I walked into his tight embrace. We stayed like that for a while.
"Now, you must promise to call me when you get settled." I said in a very motherly voice.
"Yes. I will call don't worry." He said. We said our goodbyes and I watched him as he walked into the building. I stood there for a minute when I heard honking behind me. I waved them off and told them to hold their horses. I drove back to the house and couldn't wait to hear from my brother again. He was so great to have around and it sucked not having him there.
When I got home, I jumped into bed to get a few more hours of sleep before my own flight. When I woke up, it was 11:00. I took a shower and went to eat a late lunch. Once I was done, I woke Charlie up to give her time to get ready since she was driving me. I finished packing and changed into a white tank top under a violet zip-up hoody. I put on jeans and my purple classic vans slip-ons. I put my hair in a sloppy ponytail and dragged all my luggage into the trunk of the car and went back into the house to see if I forgot anything. When Charlie was ready to leave, we hopped in the car and drove to the airport. Once we arrived, we took all my baggage out of the trunk. When I put the last piece of my luggage on the curb I turned around and was immediately embraced in a tight hug. We hadn't spent more than a week away from each other since junior year of high school.
We stood holding each other tightly and rocking together.
"I am going to miss you like no other." I said with a laugh.
"Yeah, your not alone." She said. Then she broke our embrace and she gripped my shoulders. "Call me everyday." She said seriously. I gripped her shoulders, much like how she was gripping mine.
"Okay. And I will email you. I probably wont be gone very long anyways." I said nonchalantly.
"Still. I am going to have no one to do anything with. I am going to be so bored." She said with a sigh.
"And here I thought you were going to miss me because you love me. I'm hurt." I said sarcastically with a hand over my heart. She rolled her eyes. We looked at each other for a minute both trying not to cry.
"I better go." I said softly. She nodded and watched me walk into the airport. I turned back and smiled. With my index finger, I touched my eye then made a heart out of both my hands and then pointed to her. She smiled and made the same gesture. I walked all the way through the door and got my boarding pass. By the time I had got my luggage checked in and been through all the security spots, 30 minutes had passed. I found my gate and as I walked closer, I saw Paul. I smiled and walked closer. I kneeled on the chair directly behind him and sat my purse in the chair next to me. I put my hands over his eyes.
"Guess who." I said.
"Hmmm…." He said, "Could it be Kendall?" He asked with a grin.
I pulled my hands off his face, leaned down towards his ear and pouted. "How did you know?" I asked sadly.
He turned his face to me and shrugged. "Lucky guess."
I grabbed my purse and walked to sit next to him. I 'hmphed' as I sat down and pulled my feet under me.
"Nice clothes." He said looking over my outfit. I turned to him.
"Are you making fun of me?" I asked with a shocked expression.
"Maybe." He said with a smirk.
"I will have you know that I like to travel comfortably." I said as matter-of-factly.
"And I like to travel in style." He said gesturing to his suit. I rolled my eyes
"And that, my dear, is why I will never understand you." I said with a grin and leaned my head against his shoulder.
We sat like this for about an hour making tiny conversation and finally, our flight was called to board. We gave the flight attendant our boarding passes and walked onto the plane. I found my seat and sat down. I noticed that Paul was standing at the end of my row and saw him sit down right next to me. He smiled at me as he sat down after he put his carry-on in the overhead compartment.
"Great," I said sarcastically. "I have to sit next to you this whole flight."
"I feel the same way about you." he said with just as much sarcasm. I laughed and shook my head. I reached into my purse and pulled out a piece of gum. I showed him the pack and asked if he wanted one. He nodded, and I gave him one. He said thanks as I put my purse under the seat in front of me.
As the flight took off, I looked over at the row across the aisle from us and saw a cute older couple. They were bickering about something and I smiled. I couldn't wait to have someone who I could do that with. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. 30 minutes and a can of Sprite later I was bored out of my mind. As usual I noticed I forgot something, and that something was not something I could just get when we reach Washington D.C., it was my ipod. I looked at Paul and saw him reading the newspaper. I tucked my feet under me again, I have been doing that forever, and leaned my head on his shoulder. He slipped his arm around my back and pulled me to him. I started reading the paper with him. By the time we were done, I yawned, he kissed the top of my head, I wrapped my arms around his midsection, much like what he was doing to me. I heard the elderly couple whispering to each other quite loudly so I looked over at them and saw them looking at Paul and me. I smiled at them and they smiled back.
"You know," The lady said to me, getting Paul's attention, " my husband and I have been watching you and your boyfriend and you are the cutest couple." I smiled at the lady.
"He's not my boyfriend." I said nicely.
"Then he must be your husband." she said with a smile. I smiled back and tilted my head up to look at Paul. He nodded so I told them the truth.
"That is very sweet of you. But we are really just friends." I said.
"Well, I wouldn't wait too long otherwise someone is going to snatch him right from under you." She said and gave us one last smile before turning back to her husband.
I felt Paul rub my back and I sighed and leaned deeper against him.
"You better listen to the lady." He said softly. "If your not careful, someone is going to snatch me away from you." He said cockily. I punched his side and laugh.
"Shut up." I said. "Maybe she meant it the other way around, that you should snatch me before someone picks me up." I said quietly feeling sleepy.
"Yeah. Maybe she is right." I heard him say before I fell into a deep sleep.
