Chapter Three Part One: Day 1

The first part of flight consisted of Adam and Evie passed out in their seats before the plane even took off. Linda was just glad the complaining had stopped. Glancing over she saw Evie using Adam's shoulder as a pillow while he used her head. She was beginning to rethink this match making idea of Charlie's.

"The kids are fine."

"Passed out isn't fine."

"For those two it is."

Charlie took his wife's small hand in to his. "Linda, they're grownups. Adam hasn't really dated since Julie, the second time they got together. It's the first time in a while I've seen him have fun and actually look like he's enjoying it. I think he's enjoying himself and trying to really get back in the dating scene."

She frowned. "But it's just two weeks."

Dropping her hand, he used both his hands to turn her frown into a smile, "You've been doing that far too much today." She smiled on her on accord and swatted his hands away. "It took me less to see you were it."

She raised an eyebrow, "I clearly remember several breaks ups and a certain Chloe Jones."

"She was really only to make you jealous, though now that I think about it that might have been pretty interesting."

"I can really feel the love Charles."

"It wouldn't have lasted. High maintenance girls never did. A small part as to why I always knew it had to be you."

"Because I'm plain and boring?"

"Because I love a girl who thinks for herself and fights back and it isn't with high heels. They hurt just as much as words."

Linda shook her head. "I just don't want things to end badly between them, making it impossible to have them over for gatherings. Trying to put them together was a horrible idea."

"I think she'll be good for him. Adam's always gone for the safe choice or the likely. He needs to branch out and live some."

"But don't they seem too much alike?"

Charlie looked around his wife, across the aisle at the still sleeping duo and shrugged. "Weren't we minus sports?"

The plane trembled from turbulence waking Adam. His hands clutched at the arm rest as he tried to remember where he was. On his right, a sleeping Evie and the window and on his left, the Conways. The pounding in his head wasn't as bad as it was when they first sat down for the flight. He and Evie had gone through the motions to obtain their goal of making it to the plane in one piece.

"How long till we land?" He asked softly leaning across the aisle.

"Should be soon."

Adam nodded his head. He turned his attention back to Evie. She hadn't moved at all but he felt the kink in his neck and wondered if he should wake her or not. His decision was made for him when Evie's seat lurched forward thanks to the teenage boy kicking her seat. She jolted awake and grabbed her head. The sudden movement was too much for Evie making her scramble over Adam to the restroom. Before Adam realized what he was doing, he was making his way after her. He saw Evie duck into the first opening she could then quickly back out. A flight attendant's head popped out and pointed her to the actual restroom. Adam approached and saw the apron of the flight attendant. She glared at him thrusting bags into his hands and sliding the curtain shut with as much anger as possible. He could hear her mutter, "I hate morning flights."

Knocking on the door, he can hear Evie reliving the alcohol and grimaced. 'She may have won the battle,' he thought back to the previous night when there was a pause in her puking, 'but I'm definitely winning the war.'

"Evie, its Adam. You okay?"

"Peachy."

"You need any help?"

"I really couldn't tell you."

Adam tried the door but it was locked. "Open the door and I'll evaluate for you."

Waiting a moment, Adam heard Evie move but the door was still locked. "Evie unlock the door."

"I did."

Adam laughed, "No, honey you didn't."

"Are you sure?"

He pushed on the door for her sake, "Yup still locked."

An elderly woman had come up behind Adam. "You youngsters these days and your mile high club," she said shaking her head in disapproval.

He smiled politely at the small grey haired woman, "It's not what it looks like. She's sick," he pointed at the door, "And I'm just trying to make sure she's okay."

Another elderly woman appeared behind her, except this one had dyed red orange hair. "I bet she's pregnant, Gerdy." Turning to Adam, "It's just morning sickness, she'll be okay."

Adam's mouth hung open. "She's not pregnant. She's hung over."

"Well that can't be good for the baby at all."

"Ellie, dear, he said she's NOT pregnant," Gertrude shouted.

Ellie cocked her head, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose if first you don't succeed but from the looks of that shiner you might want to sit this one out."

A few passengers close enough to hear turned to look at them. 'This is not happening,' Adam thought.

He heard a click and the little sign on the door turned green reading 'available'. "Did I win?"

"Finally," he muttered opening the door.

Evie was sitting on the toilet with her arms folded on top of the sink with her head resting on them. Her leg closest to the door was stretched toward the door with no shoe on. The other leg was bent oddly barely hanging on to the one she had.

"Poor dear," Ellie said shaking her fire hair sympathetically.

"Probably because they couldn't do it."

"Do what?"

"You know, it!" Gertrude said trying to emphasize her point to Ellie.

It took Ellie a moment before nudging Adam and shaking her head, "She's sick. Besides, it's so cramp in here. You don't want to get hit again," she pointed at Adam's good eye.

"No respectful woman would want to do that in here."

Evie raised her head up, "Adam are you taking advantage of me."

"No!"

"I would," she giggled before dropping her head.

Adam sighed. 'Today is going to be a long day.'

"You gonna puke if I move you?"

"No unless you want me to."

"That's gross. Let's trying sitting you up," He moved Evie slowly into a sitting position. "How do you feel?"

"You are so cute." Evie bopped him on his nose.

Gertrude produced a bottle of water from thin air and gave it to Adam. "I remember these days. Water should help her out."

"Don't give her food right away. If I remember the days Gerdy's talking about she'll just puke it up and never recognize what a good friend you are for letting her puke on your shoes as you held her hair."

Gertrude glared at Ellie. "I seem to remember that day ending with you cutting said hair because someone shut the door trapping it."

"That you stupidly sat in front of."

"You're the one who closed the door on my hair!"

"How was I to know people were in there and decided to lock the door?"

The flight attendant from before saw the crowd in the bathroom and heard the commotion, "I'm going to have to ask take her back to her seat so others can use the facilities."

Ellie and Gertrude wished him luck as he struggled to get Evie back to her seat then they continued to argue. Linda and Charlie were giving him odd looks as he planted Evie in her chair and buckled her in.

"You two were gone for a while," Charlie smiled.

Adam did not return it. "I really don't want to share."

The sound of Evie's head crashing against the window turned everyone's attention to her lightly snoring figure, unaffected in her slumber.

"That had to hurt!" Charlie laughed.

"Is she okay?" Linda hit Charlie.

Adam readjusted Evie as best as he could so she looked comfy then prayed she didn't get a bruise and ask him to explain.


Charlie was still laughing as Adam basically carried Evie off the plane into the airport. Linda wore her annoyed face and scowl. Adam got Evie into a chair so he and Charlie could go collect their luggage. Linda was left to fuss over her. Those boys stood praying all of the luggage had made the trip and arrived in one piece.

"Why do I never get to meet fun old ladies? I always get the mean ones. You gotta tell me your secret."

"I hate you."

Charlie patted him on the shoulder laughing, "I like where your head is at. The older the better right?"

"I'm telling Linda you use to stare at me when we took showers after practice even when I moved away from you." Charlie kept smiling till he saw Adam's face was very serious.

"You wouldn't. I think she really believes I have a secret crush on you."

"So I shouldn't tell her what you would do with your hands while you looked and made me uncomfortable?" Adam asked as he pulled his and Evie's belonging off the belt and stacked it on a cart. Then he started off toward the girls.

"Banks, you're messing with me right? Banks? Crap," Charlie muttered doing the same with his bags to catch Adam before he got to Linda. Gertrude and Ellie were chatting with Evie and Linda.

"Thanks for my shoe back."

"Not a problem dearie, it's the least we can do."

"Poor boy would have been lost without our help."

Evie smiled, "Sounds like Adam."

Adam was frowning trying to remember what help they had offered.

Charlie threw his arms around the older women and took a photo with them. "Adam, here, was too shy to take one with you. Ow!"

"Sorry my hand slipped," Ellie winked at Charlie.

"Right, well you kids be safe for the rest of your trip," Gertrude smiled at everyone but Adam. To him she said matter a fact, "Remember, no confining spaces. She's a lady." With that the two left. Ellie glanced back and mouthed "Call me" to Charlie and pointed at his pants.

Charlie felt his pockets. Reaching into his back right he produced a paper with Ellie's name and number on it. "She not only pinched my ass but gave me her digits. That's talent."

"It just doesn't stop with you, does it?" Linda said frowning.

"And you were jealous of my skills." Adam smiled clapping Charlie on the shoulder.

"Evie!" a chorus of people shouted making everyone look at them. Following the direction the shout was directed, Evie was on her feet running to meet the group.
