Spring Break: Hawaii

PLANE RIDES & PARADISE

Zed yawned wide as he walked around the outside of his dad's car to retrieve his suitcase and backpack from the trunk.

"And you're sure you have your ticket, and your Z-pass, and your phone charger, and…."

"Pops," he laughed, closing the trunk. "I promise, I've checked. I've got everything."

Zevon pulled him into a hug. "Call me when you get to your first layover."

"I will, Pops. Thanks for the ride."

"You're welcome, Son. Have fun."

Zed smiled and swung his backpack onto his back. "I'm sure I will. I'll see you next Sunday."

"And take lots of pictures!" Zevon called out as he watched his son walk through the sliding glass doors of the Seabrook airport.

After checking his bags, making his way through standard airport security, and having his Z-pass checked by the Z-Patrol, Zed finally began to make his way through the airport and to the terminal where their flight would be leaving from. As he approached the gate, he suddenly felt a pair of familiar arms wrap around his waist.

"There's my favorite Zombie."

Zed smiled and wrapped his arms behind him, trapping her in a backward hug. "My favorite cheerleader."

They both let out a soft laugh as Zed turned around. "Hey, Gorgeous." He bent over and brushed a soft kiss on her lips. "How did I beat you here?"

Addison shrugged. "I may have fallen back asleep. 5 am is way too early to board a plane."

"Not for me. I haven't slept at all yet. I wanted to make sure I was good and tired before I got on that plane."

She shook her head and giggled as their fingers interlaced and they began to walk towards the gate. "Still going with your 'sleep during the flight' plan, I see."

"You know it! The flight from Orlando was soooooo much easier than that first one."

Addison stopped walking and looked up at him. "What's your plan for the other two flights after this one?"

Zed yawned and shrugged. "Hopefully I'm still tired."

She smiled and hugged him once again. "Come on, I think I see the top of Bucky's head over there."

As they approached, Bucky held his index finger up to his mouth. "Shhhh…." he pointed down to his lap where Eliza was sleeping using his cheer jacket as a blanket and her sweatshirt as a pillow. Eliza mumbled incoherently, turning around carefully on the row of seats so her face was now hidden.

"Late night?" Zed asked with a trace of humor clear in his voice.

Bucky silently laughed. "Late night, early morning."

"Where's Aunt Kitty and Uncle Trevor?" Addison asked looking around.

Bucky yawned loudly. "First class lounge."

"They're flying first class? So not surprised."

"So are we," Eliza mumbled from under her makeshift blanket.

"My mother may have upgraded our tickets," Bucky offered with a shrug.

Addison's face broke into a large smile. "We're flying first class now?!"

"Um...not exactly," he said cringing a little. "Our tickets were upgraded. You and Zed are still flying coach."

Addison let out an exasperated sigh. "Must be nice."

Zed chuckled and kissed his pouting girlfriend's head. "Doesn't matter to me, I plan on sleeping the entire time."

Eliza sat up in a huff. "I should probably just try to do the same. I'm obviously not going to get any more sleep right now."

"Relax, babe. The flight should be boarding soon anyway."

No sooner than the words left his mouth, the announcement was made to begin boarding.

"See!" He said with a smile, leaning over to plant a loud kiss on her cheek.

"Too early for the pep, Pom-poms," Eliza groaned standing up and grabbing her backpack. "We'll see you guys in Charlotte."

A few minutes later Addison and Zed were making their way down the narrow aisle towards their seats.

"Window?" she offered as they found their aisle.

"Nah, you take it. As long as you don't mind me using you as a pillow," he said, hoisting their carry-ons into the overhead compartment.

Addison shrugged. "We'll switch up. I'll take it on this flight and you can have it on the next."

"Sounds perfect." They took their seats and buckled in. Addison laughed as she watched Zed yawn throughout all the pre-flight announcements. He leaned over and kissed her sleepily as the plane prepared for takeoff.

Addison sat looking through the small window while she absentmindedly ran her fingers through his hair. When they were finally at cruising altitude she let out a soft gasp.

"Zed! Look at the sunrise!" she whispered turning towards him to get his attention. She smiled and shook her head. He was already asleep and softly snoring.

"I neeeeeeed coffeeeeeee," Addison groaned as she and Zed walked off the plane in the Charlotte airport.

"We have a little under an hour until we need to be on the flight to LAX," Zed yawned loudly. "I'm sure theirs a Starbucks or something in the terminal."

"Why don't you just grab some from the first class lounge," Bucky suggested. "Oh, wait...that's right, you guys are riding coach."

"Shut up, Bucky," Addison growled. "I see one!" she said excitedly pointing further down the hall.

"Mood swings much?" Bucky grumbled under his breath.

"I heard that..." She glared at her cousin before turning to her boyfriend. "You want anything, Z?"

Zed kissed the top of her head. "No thank you, I'm still tired enough to sleep some more. But I'd be happy to go get you a cup, Gorgeous. Why don't you go save us a seat over by the gate."

"Really?!"

He smiled and kissed the top of her head affectionately once again. "Anything for you."

"I can't wait to make them nauseous with all our sickeningly sweetness over the next week," Eliza said as she passed them.

Bucky couldn't help but laugh. "Baby, we'll never be that mushy. It's just not us."

"Thank God," she laughed, leaning over and kissing him.

Addison almost growled as they walked ahead of them towards the gate.

"Woah… What was that?"

Addison shook her head quickly before smiling up to Zed. "Sorry, they were just getting on my nerves."

"I think you need that coffee more than we realized," he laughed hugging her tight. "Save me a seat." He kissed her sweetly and threw her a wink before taking off down the hall to wait in line for coffee.

As she sat in one of the uncomfortable chairs against the window of the gate, she sent her mom a text letting her know they made it from Seabrook to Charlotte fine and that they would be leaving for LAX shortly. She also sent a text to Bree wishing her and Bonzo safe travels to Colorado. With that out the way, she tried to occupy herself by scrolling through her phone.

"That. Line. Took. FOREVER," Zed said apologetically as he handed Addison a Venti cup of black coffee. "Sorry."

"It's fine, Z. Thank you so much." She took a small sip and smiled as the bitter caffeine passed her lips. "Soooo good."

"Better?"

Addison let out a small laugh before taking another sip. "Getting there."

"Good," he smiled, leaning over and kissing her nose.

"Now boarding groups A & B, Charlotte to LAX."

She looked over to Zed. "Ready for another nap?"

"You know it!"

"That's a big plane," Zed said quietly as he stared out the window of their gate at LAX.

"Long flight, big plane. Seems to be the way it goes," Addison said as she slumped down in another uncomfortable airport lobby chair.

Zed looked down. "You okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm just ready to be there already," she huffed out.

He sat down next to her and draped his arm around her shoulders. "Do I need to go get you another cup of coffee?"

"Am I being moody again?"

Zed silently laughed before holding up his thumb and index finger. "Just a smidge."

"Sorry. I guess I'm just tired...I guess."

"Lucky. I'm wide awake. There's no way I'm going to be able to sleep on this one."

She smiled and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "It'll be fine. Don't worry."

"Easy for you to say, Gorgeous," he whispered, placing a soft kiss on her snow white hair.

"Maybe this flight will have Thor Ragnarok available like the last one!"

"Oh, that would make me feel soooo much better," he snickered.

Addison looked up into his eyes and ran a comforting hand down his cheek. "One more leg of this trip and then we'll be dipping our toes in the ocean and enjoying the warm Hawaiian air." She pulled him in and smiled before brushing a kiss against his lips.

They both pulled apart when they heard someone near them let out a gasp. "Well, I never..."

Addison quickly spun around in her seat, coming face to face with an elderly woman grasping her pearls. She rolled her eyes and then looked back at Zed, her hands wound through his hair as she pulled him down to her for a deep kiss.

"Addie…." Zed warned pulling back slightly.

"What?"

"It's fine."

"No, it's not fine."

"Addie…" he took a deep breath and smiled at her. "I love that you always want to fight for equality, but maybe right before we have to board a plane isn't the right time. We're going to be stuck with that woman for the next few hours," he whispered, running his fingers through her white hair.

"Fine. But if I want to kiss you, I'm going to. Besides, it's not like we're going to see her again."

"Oh you have got to be kidding me," Addison murmured under her breath as she double checked her seat assignment and glanced back up to confirm. Sure enough, sitting at the end of their row was the same elderly woman who had clutched her pearls while they were waiting at the gate. "Bigger plane and this happens..." Addison quickly spun around and faced Zed. "I can't sit next to her. I'll end up telling her off and then I'll get escorted off the plane by a federal marshal and then we'll never get to Hawaii."

He let out a chuckle. "I told you so..."

"Don't start with me Zombie," she grumbled as they continued down the aisle towards their seats. Addison smiled as politely as she could and squeezed past her to sit against the window, while Zed put their carry-ons into the overhead compartment. He politely excused himself as well as he took his seat between the two of them.

The older lady took in a sharp breath as Zed sat down next to her. She quickly stood up and began to scan the plane for a flight attendant. When she finally spotted one she let out a sigh of relief and waved her arms to get their attention.

The flight attendant made her way over to their row. "Yes, how can I help you, ma'am."

"Hi, yes, I think there may have been some error with the seating assignments," she said minutely motioning over towards Zed.

"Excuse me, sir, ma'am," she said getting Zed and Addison's attention. "May I please see your tickets?"

"Yes, ma'am," Zed replied politely getting Addison's ticket from her and passing it along to the flight attendant along with his ticket and his Z-pass.

The flight attendant reviewed everything before smiling and handing them back to Zed. "Thank you." She turned back to the older women who had called her over. "No, there were no errors that I can see. Enjoy your flight."

"Well can I be moved to a different seat?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, we were overbooked. Please take a seat and buckle your safety belt. We'll be taking off shortly."

The older woman sat down and buckled, crossing her arms in a huff. "I most certainly will not be flying this airline ever again."

Zed looked at her out of the corner of his eye and then over to Addison, who was having a similar reaction and mumbling to herself. He let out a sigh and turned off his phone. "This is going to be a long flight."

Five hours, and two movies later, Zed took out his headphones and sighed in relief. The lady next to him had finally fallen asleep and was snoring loudly.

"Hey," Zed whispered, nudging Addison to get her attention.

She pulled her headphones out and looked over. "Finally," she said quietly, rolling her eyes. "How are you holding up?"

"I haven't thrown up on either of you, so…."

"How's the motion sickness right now?"

"Fine. Eating helped."

"Sorry I ate like half of yours."

Zed silently laughed. "It's fine. I just hope there's food at the house."

"I promise, there's food at the house," she smiled grabbing his wrist and checking the time. "About an hour left."

Zed groaned and leaned his head back against the headrest. His knee started to bounce anxiously.

Addison ran her hand down his leg trying to calm him. As her hand moved back up, she suddenly stopped and looked around. She looked up to Zed and smiled. "I bet I can distract you."

Zed quietly laughed. "Oh, no, you don't, Gorgeous. I know that look."

"What look?" she asked innocently as she bit her bottom lip.

"That's the same look that lately has made us late to school, late to classes, late to practices, and skip out on a dinner early."

Addison put her tray table up. "Well, you can stay right where you are and enjoy the snoring, or you can meet me in the bathroom up there in a few minutes...up to you," she purred into his ear before gently biting it. She smiled when she heard him growl low in his chest. Carefully, she shimmied past him and the sleeping old lady, blowing him a kiss as she walked up the aisle towards the restrooms.

Zed took a deep breath and counted to one hundred, trying his best to calm his body down. The lady next to him snorted loudly in her sleep. He shook his head and stood up, gently pushing past the sleeping lady. He walked up the aisle until he reached the restrooms.

The one on the left was unoccupied, but the one on the right had the red 'occupied' slide in. He didn't know the protocol for sex in an airplane bathroom, so he knocked softly, hoping like crazy she was in there. He looked to the side, hoping none of the other passengers were staring, and before he could look back at the door, her hands had a hold of the front of his shirt, pulling him inside and shutting the door behind him.

He was expecting the tiny airplane bathrooms that you can barely fit into like they show in the movies, but this was closer to a full-size bathroom. It was narrow with a full-sized toilet to the left and a big mirror over it that reflected a large wooden bench.

"Wow, I didn't expect this," Zed said looking around the space.

"Long flights have their perks," Addison whispered as she pulled him down for a kiss.

Zed reached behind him and locked the door before he pulled her in against his body and deepened their kiss. "I can't believe you talked me into this."

Addison wrapped her arms around his neck as his hands slid down her sides. "I didn't have to try very hard."

He moved his lips to her ear. "You know I can't tell you 'no'. Good call on wearing a dress, Gorgeous." His hand slipped underneath her skirt, his fingers tip-toeing up her thighs until he ran his thumb over the thin fabric of her panties.

She sucked in a deep breath through her teeth as his thumb skimmed down the front of her panties. He hooked his fingers on the side of them, pulling them down delicately slowly as he kneeled with them. Zed lifted her calf, pulling one leg out before he kissed her ankle, leaving a trail of kisses up her leg and leaving goosebumps everywhere his lips touched.

He lifted her dress up before gripping her thighs and pulling her forward into his awaiting mouth. She gasped when his warm tongue flicked against her clit and then pulled her closer, sucking on the sensitive nub.

Addison grabbed onto his thick green hair, running her fingers through it before pulling gently. He slowly slid two fingers deep inside her. Her legs shook as he continued to lick and suck. She bit onto her fist to keep from screaming and letting the other passengers know what was going on. He hooked his fingers inside her, meeting her G spot as his tongue flicked against her. She couldn't hold back as she came around his fingers, her body shaking around him.

Zed slowly stood up, wiping his mouth and meeting her eyes with a big grin on his face before he pulled her fist out of her mouth. "Delicious as always, Gorgeous."

She tugged his hair and pulled him into a kiss. It was wet and sloppy, but neither of them cared.

Zed broke the kiss and then turned her around so they were both facing the mirror over the sink.

"Is it bad that when I saw this mirror..." He ran his hand up her thigh, pulling her skirt up. "All I could think about was how bad I wanted to watch you in it?"

Addison bit her lip and smiled at his reflection as he unzipped his jeans, pulling them down with his boxers before he bent her over the sink. He slid closer, running his fingers down her clit before pushing himself inside of her. She moaned, feeling him hit just the right place. She bit down harder on her lip so she wouldn't get too loud.

He grabbed onto her hips and thrust into her, his fingernails digging into her skin as each quickened movement made her body electrify beneath his.

She gripped the sink for fear that she'd fall over if she didn't hold onto something. She closed her eyes, lost in the sensation. When she slowly opened them, she found Zed's eyes focused on hers in the reflection, full of love and need.

That look was all it took for her to erupt. She gripped onto the sink harder, her body shaking as her orgasm took hold. Zed followed suit with a few hard thrusts before his body shuddered and came to a complete stop.

They both stood there, breathing heavy and making eye contact at their reflection in the mirror.

"Flight attendants, please prepare the cabin for landing. And to our passengers, the crew would like to take this opportunity to thank you for flying with us, and it is a pleasure to be the first to welcome you to paradise. Aloha!"

Addison let out a full body laugh. "I guess we should go take our seats."

Zed took a deep breath and closed his eyes, tightening his grip on Addison's hand, as the tires touched the ground and landed with a hard bump.

"Zed, we survived! You can open your eyes now," Addison joked as she leaned over and kissed his cheek.

When the flight attendants opened the doors, Zed politely helped the older lady retrieve her bag before he grabbed Addison's and his own.

"She could have said 'Thank you,'" Addison said a little too loud as they made their way towards the exit.

Zed rolled his eyes and smiled, leaning over to kiss the back of her head as they walked.

The four teens along with Kitty and Trevor walked through the crowded terminal of the Oahu airport towards the baggage claim, squeezing through the sea of Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, and leis. Zed, Bucky, and Trevor grabbed the six large suitcases from the carousel and set them upright on the wheels.

"Alright, kids. The car should be waiting for us," Trevor said with a smile as he wheeled both his wife's luggage and his own behind him and walked towards the exit.

The moment they stepped out of the doors and into the bright warm Hawaiian sun, Zed stopped and took in a deep breath. "Wow."

Addison giggled and hugged him around his waist. "Just wait 'til you see the water!" She stood on her tip-toes and kissed his cheek. "Welcome to paradise, Handsome."

They pulled up a long drive that led to a house that could easily be described as a mansion. After parking to the left, near a paved walkway, they walked out and grabbed their luggage from the trunk.

"You kids are in the guesthouse," Trevor said as he motioned towards the shaded path. "We'll be in the main house if you need anything."

The path was shadowed by the house, giving way to an expansive view of the ocean. Zed's breath caught, in awe of the beauty of the vista. Wanting to take a closer look, he stopped next to the large pool. Between where he stood and the ocean

was a guesthouse with huge windows.

"I thought places like this only existed in trendy teen dramas," Eliza said quietly as she took in her surroundings.

Bucky slid the glass door open, and they all walk in. Zed's jaw dropped open in awe of the view through the two large windows overlooking the ocean. The sun was setting, which created a glow that surrounded them making the view even more spectacular.

"DIBS!"

Zed turned around to see his girlfriend running past the kitchen into the one room on the left.

"AWW COME ON!" Bucky yelled towards the now closed door throwing his hands up in the air. "YOU HAD THAT ROOM LAST TIME!"

Addison poked her head out and stuck her tongue out.

"Well," Bucky said turning to Eliza, "I guess we're over here," he mumbled something about a hammock and shower as he wheeled the suitcases towards the other room at the other end of the guest house.

Eliza walked up and stood next to Zed. "I never knew something like this was real," she whispered.

"I know exactly what you mean."

Addison walked back out and wrapped her arms around his waist. "So what do you think?"

"I can see why this is your favorite place."

She took him by the hand and opened the back door. The breeze now flowing through the large room, combined with the view was breathtaking.

"This view never gets old," Bucky said as he joined them. "Come on!"

They sat down on the step that led to the grass, unable to imagine any place better than this. The word paradise could easily be overused.

"This place is perfection come to life," Zed said softly as he rested his head on top of Addison's.

"The only thing that makes this better is that I get to have you here with me," she whispered with a smile as they watched the sunset into the water.
