Author's Note: The lovely Jass can claim credit for this whole chapter. I promise, we'll get them to Hawaii eventually.
"Jack," Chloe whispered, softly. While she was seriously enjoying her current position, it was about to create a few problems. First of all, her legs had fallen asleep a few minutes ago. Second, the plane was going to start it's approaching descent soon, which meant she would need to be in her seat, with her seat belt on. "Jack."
He gave a small grunt, but didn't respond, instead pulling her a bit closer and tightening his grip, which already vice-like. Chloe repeated his name, louder this time, and he nodded his head, shifting her so she was effectively squished between him and the window, and then unconsciously planted a soft kiss on her temple. . Fauve was trying her hardest not to break into a fit of hysterical giggles, and was turning red from effort. Chloe made a valiant attempt to smack her. "Shut up, you. This is YOUR fault."
Fauve only nodded her head in agreement, and continued to laugh silently. Tears were running down her cheeks, and a few people had turned to stare at her. Chloe grumbled, muttering something about smothering her friend with a pillow, and decided a new tactic was in order.
"Jack!" she whispered, urgently, "There's a bomb on the plane!"
That did it. He jolted awake, and while he was momentarily disoriented, Chloe slipped out his grip and into her seat, snapping her seat belt on efficiently, before patting his arm and shooting Fauve a dirty look. The woman was still giggling like mad. Jack turned to look at Chloe in confusion, and she was about to give an excuse, when Fauve declared, helpfully, "Did you know you're pretty damn possessive when you sleep?"
And then she broke into laughter once more as both Chloe and Jack turned an interesting shade of red. The people around them that had heard laughed quietly.
Through gritted teeth, Chloe hissed, "Someday, somehow, I will make you pay for this, Fauve Palani Akana." Her friend didn't seem the least bit worried by the vow of vengeance.
