Chapter 40: The Unplanned Getaway

Mitchie and Shane were now at the airport, boarding for a flight that neither of them knew were it heads.

"Shane… where are we going?" Mitchie asked.

"I don't know…" Shane shrugged and smiled.

"How can you not know? You are the one who booked the flights!"

"Actually I randomly picked a flight and forgot where it heads… so when our flight is called, I guess that's the time we'll know where we will be heading…" Shane explained (A/N: just imagine that tickets on airplanes don't have destinations… lol… well, for Shane and Mitchie that is…)

"You are such a…"

"… a gorgeous human being?" Shane finished for her.

Mitchie just rolled her eyes at the vanity of her boyfriend and just jumped to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his nose. "If I didn't love you, I would have kicked your butt for being so ego centric!" Mitchie teased.

"Oh really? Can you like change the kick to a slap? It sounds more sexy…" Shane teased back.

Mitchie rolled her eyes again at him. Gosh I never thought I can live hearing those cheesy lines always… "Stop the tease and just kiss me…" Mitchie demanded.

"Your wish is my command…" Shane replied but before they can even start making out, the announcer announced their flight. "Ugh… sorry babe, it's us… let's just continue this at our business class seats okay?"

Mitchie shook her head. Damn announcers! "Okay hotshot… let's go…" Mitchie said and grabbed Shane's hand and they both walked with their passports and tickets and carry-on bags out of the terminal and to the airplane, heading to only God knows where.

Flight KR653 bound for Bangkok, Thailand please board the aircraft now. Thank You.

"We're heading for Bangkok?" Mitchie called.

"Yes! I was hoping that it's Bangkok I have chosen!" Shane called.

"So you really planned on going to Bangkok?"

"Nope. I told the girl in charge for the bookings that she'll let me draw lots… I chose Santorini, Bangkok and Paris" Shane explained. "Then I picked the number three ticket and that's it…"

"But why do you want to go to Bangkok?"

"Because my dear… we're having a two-week Asian Cruise!" Shane told her.

Mitchie's jaw dropped! "No you didn't!" Mitchie called and slapped him playfully. They were now inside the airplane heading for their seats.

"Oh yes I did… I told the girl that if I picked Bangkok, she'll book us to a SuperStar Virgo Cruise around Asia. So I'll just call their agency when we reach Bangkok and we're off to a two-week cruise!" Shane said then they sat on their seats and then Shane continued to say some things… "I know that you wanted to travel so better hit many birds with a two-week stone right?"

FLASHBACK

They were at the Gray's house. Mitchie was sitting on Shane's bed waiting for him to come back from his niece's room. When he did come back, she was still looking out of the balcony and to the sky.

"Hey…" Shane whispered as he sat behind her and pulled her close to him.

Mitchie faced Shane and replied, "Hey… what took you so long?"

"Well, Therese wanted a bedtime story so I had to finish rereading Cinderella to her."

"I never thought you can read…" Mitchie joked.

"That was a low blow missy…"

"It was a joke. I know that you're cunning…"

"Cunning?" Shane asked and rose a brow "Not smart?"

"Smart with a bit of slyness that's why you're cunning…"

"Oh, so you are saying that I am sneaky… let me give you what sneaky means…" Shane said and started to tickle her.

"Shane! Stop it!" Mitchie called while laughing. And when Shane was done tickling her, he pulled her on his chest while lying down on the bed. Mitchie then settled her head on his chest and sighed.

"What's wrong babe?" Shane asked.

"Nothing…" Mitchie lied.

"Yeah. Tough luck, Mitch… comon' tell me what's bothering you…"

"Well, I guess I envy you too much tonight. I mean, you have a very happy and big family. Your parents love you as well as your siblings, nieces and nephews. Then you are the most free person that I know. You have the courage to go elsewhere and see the world. While I, am stuck here in our beloved country with my cold family."

Shane sighed after hearing what she said. "Hey, look at me…" Shane said and made her face him. "I promise you I am going to make you happy okay? What's mine is yours now… which means that you can also call my family yours… you don't have to envy me… And someday, when circumstance permits, I'm going to bring you to the ends of the earth and let you see the beauty that I once had seen… okay?"

Mitchie smiled at him and asked, "You promise?"

"I promise." Shane smiled. Then Mitchie lowered her lips on his sealing their deal.

End of Flashback

"Thank you babe, you make me so happy…" Mitchie told him.

"And so do you…" Shane said and kissed her with passion.

Shane and Mitchie landed on Bangkok Airport after a 16 hour flight. They left New York on a night time and they arrived at Bangkok on a night time too… Damn jetlag and timezones! It makes me nauseous… Mitchie thought.

"Hey, you okay?" Shane asked Mitchie as they waited for their baggage.

Mitchie nodded and told him, "I think it's jetlag… I really am not used to different time zones…"

Shane nodded and kissed her temple. He wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. When they got all their bags, Shane pushed their cart outside of the airport as Mitchie trailed beside him. Shane got themselves a cab and told the driver in Chinese to bring them to Bangkok High Street Hotel (A/N: fictional hotel) where they will be staying for two days after they leave the city for their cruise.

When they reached the hotel, Mitchie was asleep. Shane paid three bellmen to bring their baggage to their room while he carried Mitchie on a bridal style kind of way. They were at the top floor, it was the largest suite on the hotel. Shane laid Mitchie on the bed and pulled the covers up to her shoulders. Then he called room service to bring them dinner.

As the food arrived, Mitchie herself woke up.

"Hey…" Mitchie said groggily.

Shane tipped the room service person after he left their cart of food.

"Hey sleepyhead…" Shane smiled and prepared the food that they'll be sharing for the night.

"Wow, this room is big…" Mitchie said as she studied the suite.

"Well, I wanted the best there is for you…" Shane said as he smiled to her. "Hey, the food's ready… comon' let's eat first…"

Mitchie stood up and went to Shane who was sitting on a four couch surrounded table, where their dinner was served. She sat on his lap and stared at the food before her. "Babe, you honestly think that we can eat these all up?"

"Nope. But I didn't know what kind of food you prefer for tonight so I just ordered everything…" Shane shrugged.

Mitchie rolled her eyes. "I love the care, hotshot but you are such a big money waster…"

"I told you, I want what's best for you…"

"Well, you could have just woken me up…" Mitchie argued.

"You were so peaceful… and besides, the damage has been done all you have to do is get comfortable and eat up…" Shane said. Then he tried to stand up to lead her to the next couch. But Mitchie stopped him.

"I'm comfortable on your lap…" Mitchie said and showed him her puppy dog eyes, "Please? Can I sit on you?"

Shane laughed and nodded. "It's my pleasure…" Then she lowered her lips on his and they started to make out forgetting the food that they were arguing about a while ago.
