I know I missed a few days, so this one will probably be longer than usual. Please enjoy and review!
Title: Summer of Love
Chapter 8: In the Heat
Eli's POV
The flight is landing in a few minutes and I am the only one who is awake. Clare is still on my shoulder, Fiona woke up about three times to go to the bathroom and is currently sleeping again, and Adam dozed off about 2 hours ago. I got about 30 minutes of sleep tops. It has always been a problem for me. I normally get 5 hours, but on a plane I am lucky to even close my eyes. I grabbed my iPhone from Clare's bag and decided to listen to some music. Before I chose my song the pilots voice came on.
'Good evening, or should I say good morning, passengers. Our flight is now nearing Honolulu and we should land in about 10 minutes. Please dispose of your garbage as the flight attendant walks around. All tray tables and seats should be up and please make sure your seatbelts are securely fascine. Thank you for flying with us! Have a good trip!'
After the man finished speaking I turned around and saw Adam awake and Fiona out of her chair. I whispered to Adam, "Hey man, where's Fiona?"
"Still not feeling well. I bet it was this airplane food. I warned her." Adam answered.
"Clare is still asleep. Should I wake her?" I asked trying to get out of her grasp.
"Yeah, we will be there soon, so it is probably a good idea." He said. I grabbed her arm and gently pulled it off of me. I placed it on her lap. She still didn't make the slightest move. I lifted her head off of my shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Clare-Bear. Wake up sweetie. We are here." Still nothing.
"Adam! Any tips to get her to wake up? I always have trouble, but it's not usually this hard." I asked him.
"I don't know. Fiona wakes up at the slightest thing. I could flush a toilet from two rooms away and come back to see her freaked out and wide awake. How about we ask her when she gets out of the bathroom." He answered and I chuckled at his example. After a few minutes of talking to Adam and attempts of getting Clare to wake up, Fiona finally comes out of the bathroom.
"How you feeling, cutie?" Adam asked.
"Better. I think it was that sandwich that I ate. I will probably be 100% when we get to the hotel." She answered and sat back down in her seat and Adam started to rub her back to calm her down.
"Um, Fiona? Do you have any idea how I can wake up Clare. She has been sleeping for like 9 hours and won't wake up." I asked seriously.
"Well did you try kissing her?" Fiona answered genuinely. Adam and I both started to crack up.
"Don't you think that's a little fairy tale for real life?" Adam asked in between laughs.
"No, I am total serious." Fiona said. I blushed a little at the fact I am going to have kiss Clare to wake her up. I am not a fan of the whole princess and prince thing. Without second thought I lifted Clare's face up and kissed her. Right at the moment that our lips touched her eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning to you, too." She said with a surprised look on her face.
"Told you." Fiona muttered and both Adam and I laughed again.
"I shouldn't have doubted you." Adam said to her.
"That's what I have been trying to say!" Fiona laughed.
"So, are we there yet?" Clare asked still looking asleep.
"In 5 minutes. Don't you worry your pretty face, my darling. You will be alone in a hotel room with me soon enough." I smirked at her dark red face.
"Is that a blush I see?" Fiona asked Clare.
"Shut up guys. There will be nothing going on with me and Eli in the hotel room." Clare assured everyone and turned around to face me. Then she whispered in my ear, "They don't need to know everything…" and I blushed.
"Goldsworthy, is that a blush I see?" She said to me.
"Maybe so." I said. We were just about to kiss when Adam's head popped up between ours.
"We're here, lovebirds." He said. With that we all grabbed our bags and walked off the plane.
"Well, it certainly is hotter than we're used to." Fiona said.
"I am so excited!" Clare sang.
"Do we need a taxi?" Adam asked me.
"I don't think so. My parents probably got us a car or something." I told them. We walked down the halls into the baggage area.
"Eli, that guy has a 'Goldsworthy' sign." Adam pointed out.
"Yeah, can you go over there with Clare, Fiona and tell him we will be right there?" I asked and grabbed yet another one of Fiona's many bags.
"Sure," she said and called for Clare, "Clare? Come on. You still look dead."
"Thank you, Fiona." Clare laughed and they walked off linking arms.
"Well, I'm glad they are hitting it off." Adam said.
"Yeah, lots of double dates in our future, my friend." I commented.
"How many more bags left?" Adam asked.
I chuckled to myself before I answered, "Well, we are half way through Fiona's."
"Only Fiona's! Wow, that girl and her clothes!" Adam said.
"Hey, you know you could help me with them." I said sarcastically.
"Yeah, sure dude no problem." Adam said and reached for another bag.
"Done with Fiona's." Adam said.
"Finally. Oh! There's one of Clare's!" I yelled and Adam ran after it.
"Got it!" He shouted.
"Good job!" I patted him on the back. After a few more minutes we got all the bags on the cart and walked over to Clare, Fiona, and the plump car driver.
"Goldsworthy?" The man asked me.
"Yes, sir." I answered.
"This way please." He then escorted us to a black Suburban. We put all the bags in the back and got in the car.
"We are headed to the Honolulu Hotel!" Adam said quickly.
"Well, someone's excited." The driver said.
"You have no idea." I said.
"So, where are you all from?" The man said.
"Toronto." Clare said.
"Well, that's quite a while away." The man said.
"Yeah, well, I'm Eli Goldsworthy, this guy right here is Adam, the girl with the billions of pink bags is Fiona, and this one right her is Clare." I told him.
"Hello there. I am Bob. Are you all friends?" The man asked.
"Yeah, I am dating Clare and Fiona and Adam are dating." I answered proudly.
"Ah, young love. I had that too when I had a full head of hair and weight half I do now." He said seriously. This is going to be a long ride.
After another half hour, we pulled up to the hotel. A man in a suit opened the car door to let us out.
"Welcome! Please come on in." The man said to us, while two other men were getting our bags out and rolled them into the hotel with us.
"Right over there is the check in area. Enjoy your stay." The man said and walked off.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" Clare and Fiona said at the same time.
"I am going to go check in." I said and walked to the desk.
"Hello, I am Eli Goldsworthy and I have two rooms under the name Bullfrog Goldsworthy." I said. I never liked telling people my dad's name.
"Yes, rooms 306 and 308. Here are your room keys. Have a nice stay!" The women at the desk said. I walked over to my friends with the keys and sat down next to them.
"So, we have the rooms. What are the rooming arrangements?" I asked secretly hoping that Clare will room with me.
"How about me and Adam and you and Clare?" Fiona asked.
"Clare? Is that good?" I asked her.
"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" She said simply.
"Good. Let's head up and get unpacked." Adam said.
Good, bad, terrible? Tell me what you think. I have a few suggestions of what should happen in the later chapters, but if you have any more review and tell me. Thanks! I hope you enjoyed!
