Chapter 3 - The Take Off

There she was, just stood casually at the back of the plane.
"So what were you so smug about?" I kinda already knew, it was obviously because she had found Emma, but there must be more to it...
"I met your friend" okay? Is that all she's going to tell me? She didn't look as if she was going to continue with that bit of information so I pushed,
"yeah, and..?"
"oh! She was about to tell her friend something, but I heard where they were staying in Cali and how long they are staying for" why the hell was she winking?
"yeah?" I was actually pretty interested. "yeah. Want to know?" this seemed way too good to be true.
"Sure" I told her with a smile, I still wasn't sure what she was doing, but I had a pretty good idea of what was coming if I knew Lols the way I thought I did...
"You'd better go ask them then hadn't you. Look, they're sat there" she pointed to where I saw her earlier, obviously not knowing I'd heard their conversation.
"Oh, and look at that, perfect timing, they need some assistance" another wink, I knew she was implying it in a dirty way.
As they were at our end of the plane, it was either mine or Lols job to help, and she wasn't going anywhere soon, shit. It was now or never I guess.
I was actually really nervous, this was my chance to make my first impression on Emily.
Their little light was still on and I couldn't really leave it any longer...
I walked down the isle towards their seats. Normally, I'm pretty confident, having to communicate with so many different strangers on a regular basis means you have to not get nervous, but now? I was fucking shitting myself.
I was like 2 seats away from the girls and I could hear them talking again,
"so what was her name?" they weren't still talking about me surely? Let's hope they are because I'm about to make my entrance.
"Hello, I'm Naomi and I'll be your flight attendant for your journey today. How may I help you?" okay! So that was the most formal introduction I'd ever made.
"Naomi! Hey" Ha nice recognition there Emma. I haven't just told you my name again or anything...
"Emma! Hey! What did you need?" had to act surprised right?
I couldn't help but smile, she was acting like I'd caught her doing something she shouldn't be, like how you act when somebody catches you having sex or something.
"Actually, I was hoping to see you, just figured you'd be on the flight" well that was forwards.I didn't really understand why she was acting so differently to this morning...maybe they were still talking about me.
"Well, here I am" I smiled and ran my hand through the air to sort of say taa daa "why were you hoping to see me anyway?" was it weird that I was feeling a little hopeful? "I wanted you to meet Ems" Had she already assumed I was gay? I mean, yeah of course I am, but how did she know? "Okaaaaay, Hey Emily" you don't have to be formal when meeting friends do you?
This was the first time I'd actually looked at Emily properly taking her all in. Id obviously heard the incredible voice and seen the shocking bright, vibrant red hair but now I was seeing cheeky arched eyebrows, the most gorgeous eyes, ever. They were huge, brown, inviting, loving, warm, curious and I would say endearing, like you actually need to look into them. Then I travelled down the cutesy button nose with the beautiful slope to a pair of bright red potted lips, present with a quirky, stunning smile, which displayed her White teeth which was biting into one of those kissable lips.
Damn she was perfect, like actually so fucking perfect. I thought it would be quite rude to give her body a once over whilst we were engaged in conversation.
Those red lips were suddenly licked by a quick, pink tongue,
"Hey Naomi, I'm Emily" god, how my name just rolled off her tongue and her smile got even cuter now as it broke out into a grin. Her voice was so much more, shy and careful, than it was earlier.
It made me smile but I did have a job to get on with, regretfully. I wanted to stay and chat with Emily and Emma.
"Emma, is there anything else you'd like? Or you Emily?"
I instantly felt bad, Emily's gorgeous smile instantly vanished and she looked offended, I guessed that sounded like I was pushing her introduction away.
I looked towards Emma; but she was just zoned out, deep in thought.
"Sorry, me and my stupid mouth, that sounded so rude, I do hope you'll excuse me. Just, if it looks like I'm talking to you about a problem you're having nobody should call me away". I threw an exaggerated wink at them which put the smile back on Ems face.
She chuckled, god this girl was just getting cuter and cuter, I don't think id rather hear anything else unless it was...MIND OUT THE GUTTER NAOMI.
"Oh, so if i hold this and point would it make it easier?" she asked pointing to a piece of paper, with a devious smirk and now, she's clever too.
"Yeah, I um- I thunk that would help quite a bit" god this girl was going to be the death of me.
"great" ah. Don't wink at me, it's too much to handle.
"So, where are you staying in Cali? If you don't mind me asking of course?" I wouldn't want to seem intrusive or like a minor stalker, but I had to ask, Lols made me a bit excited saying it the way she did.
"I'm not actually sure. Emma and my sister just told me I was going to come, whether I liked it or not. I had no choice in the matter but I'm sure glad I did, seems its off to a good start already" another wink, fuck. Did she mean I was a good start?
She looked towards Emma with that smirk again, "you cheeky bitch, you would have missed both me and 'Katiekins', especially for 3 weeks" I WAS GOING FOR 3 WEEKS.
Finger quotes? Was that a nickname or something?
"But anyway, rudeness aside" she shot Emily a playful look "It's called like, 'On the Waves' or something? Its virtually on the beach"
This was too good to be true. Same time and the same place, Lauren had obviously told them to say that as joke. She knows it's where I stay every time I go to Cali. I stay there even if I'm just working, like waiting for the next flight back, so does Lols. That's what she's doing this time, again, which means I have to share my room with her, again.
I didn't want to seem to keen or needy, play it cool Naomi,
"Looks like we're going to be bumping into each other a fair bit then..." I added a little chuckle for emphasis, secretly hoping I would actually get to bump into Emily.
"Oh why's that?" Emma, seriously? Are you playing dumb or are you just not all there?
Be kind Naomi, she's been nothing but nice, she might just be a little slow.
"Oh. Sorry, I'm staying there too, it's pretty much my second home. Same room every time too..." that wasn't a lie, I'd only been to Cali 4 times on holiday but I always get the Cali flights, I think it's because I have no ties. Irregardless. Same room.
Emily's face seemed to re light up to that snippet of news but Emma still seems pretty confused. Change the subject you tit.
As I was about to say something else to break the tension a bit, somebody's light came on. Shit.
"You gotta to get that?" she looked actually sad that I have to go. I'm really hoping Lols will cover it so I can carry on chatting.
I saw her walking past a few seats looking at me and heading towards...the light, yes! I bet I'll owe her for that. It was in my section.
"Nope, my friends got it so-" I saw her smile until Emma interrupted, "OH!" she looked all bright eyed. Was she okay? Im supposed to ask right? It is my job..."Are you okay miss?" politeness.
"Yeah sorry...didn't mean to interrupt. Urika moment you know? Sorry, what were you saying?"
I didn't really know what I was going to say and I didn't want to over step my welcome...
"Ah, right. I was just going to say I had to get back to work, sorry. Enjoy your journey." I felt awful having to leave especially seeing Emily's big beautiful eyes and smile go sad.
"Oh, alright, you too" Geez Emily, way to make a girl feel bad.
"Actually!" Emma shouted as I began to walk off; I should say depart really shouldn't I?
"Yes miss?" still had to be polite, stupid other passengers, I had to halt and turn back around.
"I was wondering if I get your number?" Emily suddenly looked between me and Emma quickly as if she was waiting for something to happen and her big brown eyes were filled with something, jealousy? Why would she be jealous?
Emma also looked back to Emily and quickly added - "Just because you seem nice and you know California well" Oh. I was gonna say, thought were straight but that would have been totally unprofessional.
"Actually I can't give it to you"
What was with all these looks? Emma just looked high, although she was fine at the airport, but now, she looked totally out of it. I know we didn't talk much but now she just seemed thick, like proper stupid.
"You can't? Why?" Do I really need to mention I'm at work? I thought the name tag and uniform and me actually doing my job would kind of portray it enough.
"Just because you're a passenger, and I'm an attendant. They say it's frowned upon or something?"
I think she was actually high, looking at her now, her pupils were huge and she was just kinda turning her head like a puppy but giving me huge nods like she really really understood what I was saying but still looking curiously at me. Wow, wish I was in that state, maybe id be more confident?
I leaned in to whisper, so I wouldn't loose my job and god- being this close to Emily was seriously dangerous; and I could actually smell her, she smelt like, fruit, berries and something else...vodka? So maybe Emma was just really drunk?
I'm not sure if security can pick drugs up that are already in your system so it could be a combination of both. If I were in that state, I would usually pass out pretty soon so maybe if she does I can come and ask Emily.
"IF you were to wait in baggage collection I could maybe give it to you then?" Emily looked a little more hopeful now and Emma? Well she just looked crazy.
"Okay!" somebody's definitely excited, or high, or drunk but I'm pleased if it's the first one, it means Emily actually wants it.
Emma was looking at a piece of thread on her shirt that was flying around in the air from the air conditioning. "Wow look guys, isn't this just wonderful?" yep, high.
It was time for me to go, I'd been here for a while and I actually had a job to do.
"So maybe I'll see you later or at baggage if you like...press your light if you need anything. Have a pleasant flight."


Hope you guys like their meetings :D Plenty more Naomily to come, obviously. Hope you're enjoying it :D
