Robert was kind enough to get us a private car to the airport since I didn't rent one. As the driver helped us pack our bag into the trunk of a Phantom Rolls Royce, my mom grabbed my hand. I flinched and got out of her grip. I looked at her. She looked... worried, little beads of tears were running down her cheek.

"Mom..." I said.

She shook her head, "You know... Hong Kong is very far away from... the States..."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, mom."

"Please be careful." She said. She sounded like she was pleading.

"Okay, okay. I'll be careful. I'm 23. You don't have to worry about me." I said, reassuring her.

All of a sudden, she was hugging me. My first thought was to push her away, but I didn't. For the past few years, I felt nothing to her, but now, I did. She actually cared about me that she cried. I was stiff but I still let her hug me. She let go and the tears came bursting out. I looked over at Raleigh, he was shaking Robert's hand probably saying goodbye as well. Luke and Lucy were no where in site.

"Mom, we should go now." I said to her.

She nodded, "Don't want to be late for your flight to Hong Kong." She said between gasps.

I nodded, "Bye."

"I love you..." My mom whispered.

I looked at her for a second. Not so sure how I was going to respond to that. I just simply nodded my head and started to walk to the Royce when I stopped. I turned around and looked at my mom. I smiled, "I love you too." I whispered. She was too far away to hear but I knew I said it. Robert walked Raleigh towards me. I looked at Raleigh who was grinning at me.

"Thanks for everything again." I said to Robert.

He shook his head, "Don't mention it. You two have fun in Hong Kong. Beautiful city, a lot to see." He smiled.

I nodded and Raleigh waved at my mom, who waved back. Raleigh looked at me, "You ready?"

I nodded violently. I looked at my mom who was wiping her face with a tissue, "Bye mom." I said.

She waved at me, "Good bye dear. Have fun!"

I stepped into the luxurious car and sat on the back seat. Raleigh eventually sat next to me. I looked around the interior part of the car. It was beautiful. Light color leather seats, the carpet was clean and soft, the steering wheel seemed very comfortable and the gears were automatic. Must be expensive. The driver started the car and I looked over at my mom and Robert. Before we left, I waved at them, they waved back. Raleigh told the driver that we were heading to the Phoenix airport, which was around a 6 hour drive from here. I looked up and saw a T.V screen and sighed. At least I could watch something.

"Hey, what kind of movies do you have?" I asked the driver.

The driver didn't say anything, instead took out a few CD discs from a covert and handed it to me. I took it. Men in Black, The Hangover, Finding Nemo and The Avengers. I chose The Hangover. It was one of my favorite comedy movies. The driver pushed in the CD and the disc started to play.

Raleigh shifted in his seat, "You like the Hangover?"

I shrugged, "Who doesn't?"

He nodded in agreement.

The movie finished after 2 whole bags of eaten lays, a can of sprite and 3 bars of chocolate that I ate. I looked around and felt my stomach. God, I was full. We were apparently on a highway, I don't know which one but it seems like we are almost there. I looked at my watch 6:03 p.m. A few more hours until we get there. Woop! I looked over at Raleigh, he was eating a bar of snickers and looking out on the road with his ear phones on. I took one off and plugged it in my ear, he noticed and turned. He was listening to My Chemical Romance. One of my all time favorite bands. The song was Helena, also one of my all time favorite songs.

"Love this band." I commented.

He nodded, "My favorite."

"Same here." I said.

Around 30 minutes later of not talking to each other, I spotted the sign to Phoenix Airport. What? That early? "I thought it would take 6 hours?" I said to the driver.

He shook his head, "It takes around 4 or 5 hours to get here."

I tilted my head. I looked over at Raleigh. He fell asleep. Just 30 minutes ago we were talking and now he got so bored he fell asleep. What the hell. I lifted my hand to wake him up but I stopped. Instead of waking him up, I watched him sleep. I never realized that he had such long eyelashes. Those red lips puckered and I heard a soft snore. A few strands of his hair fell over his forehead and he still had his earphones on. How could he fall asleep listening to MCR? His head rested on the window and his hands stayed on his lap. Those big biceps and triceps of his outlined his long sleeved shirt and his jeans fit perfectly on his sculpted legs. I had the urge to run a finger over his eyebrow, I held the urge to myself. I sighed and touched his strong arm.

"Raleigh..." I whispered to him. No answer. I poked him again, "Raleigh." I said more louder. Still nothing. I took out the earphone and hissed his name again. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around.

"We arrived?" He said after a yawn.

I nodded, "Almost there. The airport is a few minutes away."

Soon enough, I see Phoenix airport right in front of us. The driver pulled up to the nearest drop off place that is nearest to our airline. He parked the car and got out to get our luggages. I opened my door and got out, so did Raleigh. The driver placed our luggages on the sidewalk and I grabbed my backpack. Raleigh thanked the driver and gave him a tip. He told us to have a safe trip and we thanked him for it, and off we went.

We did that self check in thing. We scanned our passports and got our tickets a few seconds later. A person came up to us and helped us with our luggages. She looked at us then looked down. I looked around and spotted a Starbucks. Since I ate a lot of junk food in the car, I was hungry for coffee. I decided to wait though, because of the security.

I followed Raleigh to the security place. Someone checked my passport and ticket and let me in. I was scanned by the mechanical security machine and someone checked my watch for any weapons. My hair was down this time so I had no problem with the pony tail issue. I grabbed my bag that contained my iPad. I put on Toms shoes back on and waited for Raleigh. I heard a few whispers of Raleigh's appearance but no one personally came up to him... yet. He grabbed his bag that was waiting for him and put on his boots.

"You always wear boots." I commented.

He shrugged, "I like boots."

I shook my head and we both walked to the nearest Starbucks. Raleigh waited for me outside of the shop, I asked him if he wanted anything. He simply shook his head. I shrugged and lined up. When I got to the cashier, I told him that I wanted a Grande Mint Mocha. I paid him and waited at the end of the counter. A few minutes later, my coffee came. I smiled at it and took it. I sipped the hot liquid and sighed in satisfaction. Raleigh looked at me and softly chuckled, I shoved him playfully, "I like coffee." I said.

We sat down near our boarding door. I placed my coffee on my lap and grinned at Raleigh. He looked at me, an eyebrow raised. "Have you actually SEEN seen Hong Kong?" I asked.

He shook his head, "I only been in the Shatterdome. That's it actually. Went into the city, didn't really pay attention at all, since I was looking for a Kaiju."

I nodded. There was a long pause, then I decided to speak, "So, um... last night, I was researching what to do in Hong Kong. I found that they have this Amusement park called Ocean Park, yes, near the ocean, and it has Pandas!" I screeched excitedly, "We could go there, people said that Disney land there sucks so forget about that. We also need to visit IFC and ICC, 2 of the biggest buildings in Hong Kong. We also need to shop." I said with a stern voice. Hong Kong was all about shopping, well that and trading, "Aaaaand, we need to go to the Shatterdome. Ohohohohoh, Robert booked our hotel room in ICC, so we'll be in there. Ritz. We're staying at the Ritz and it's IN ICC! How cool is that! And-" I stopped myself. I was babbling. Gosh that was embarrassing. I looked at Raleigh, he was smiling, then he chuckled at me.

"Keep going, I like it when you talk a lot. It's cute." He said.

The blush immediately came. God, can he just stop with that stuff? Beautiful and now cute. Sigh. I pushed him playfully, "Stop it."

He laughs at me. Then our plane started to board. We lined up on the business class. The woman scanned our tickets and ripped part of it off. She welcomed us to Asiana and we walked through the door into the plane. Korean women greet us and show us the way to our seats. The seats were huge and looked very comfortable. There were separators that separated chairs between chairs, very private. Our seats were near the window, even more private. The rows had 5 seats in total. Each cabin had 3 rows of seats, very roomy. I already had the feeling that I would really enjoy this ride. I sat down nearest to the window and Raleigh sat next to me.

"A 747." He simply said.

I sighed, "I always wanted to sit at the top."

He smiled at me, "Yeah. So do I."

He grabbed a thick book that he brought and started reading. I looked out of the window. The plane had started to move and the flight attendance's voice boomed in the airplane, "Welcome to Asiana airlines. Our flight is a direct flight to Hong Kong. If you have a transfere flight to anywhere else, please contact a helper that will be waiting when we arrive to Korea. The flight will be 14 hours and 30 minutes. Please sit back and enjoy the flight. Thank you for choosing Asiana." She finished off and the flight attendants started the safety procedure. While we were taxiing, I totally ignored them and looked out of the Phoenix airport. I still couldn't believe that we were actually going to Hong Kong, even better, with Raleigh. I never in a million years thought this could happen. What do you? Must be my lucky year.

"Flight attendants, please prepare for take off." The captain said.

The crew fastened their seatbelts and sat down for the take off. Soon enough, the plane started to move quickly, but swiftly. We were in the sky in a few seconds. I looked out of the window and gave a little wave to Phoenix, "Good bye, the states..." I whispered. That was my usual habit when I leave somewhere, I would always say goodbye.

After a few minutes of staring at the sky and getting lost in my imagination and thoughts the sound of the flight attendant's voice made me jump, "Again, welcome to Asiana. We hope you enjoyed this flight from this far. Electronics are now available to use and first class and business class menus will be handed out soon." She simply said.

"Yes! Food. I'm hungry!" I said. Raleigh looked at me and shook his head. I rolled my eyes after I saw his expression.

"We should go to Ocean park one day." Raleigh spoke.

I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah. I know. It's really fun there, many good reviews."

He nodded, "So, Caroline... when am I going to get another kiss?" He smirked.

My heart stopped. He wanted another kiss? That made me blush for sure, "I uh... erm... I don't... know...?"

He chuckled and came closer to me. His right hand held my chin up so that our eyes met. He looked me straight in the eyes, "Raleigh..." I began to say but stopped when his lips came crashing down on mine. His other hand was behind my neck, pushing the kiss deeper. I let out a soft moan when he did. Luckily, there were only a few other people in our cabin. No one noticed. My hands rest on his blonde, soft hair. I ran my fingers through it and I leaned closer to him. His lips moved swiftly and softly on mine, it felt incredibly good. I didn't want to stop. Eventually we did, I was the one who broken the kiss. My face was entirely red. He looked at me with a smirk and I gave him a small smile.

"I guess... just now." I said to him.

He smiled and winked at me. God, that made me hot on the inside. We heard a stroller coming through the cabin and we saw a flight attendant in front of us. She bowed her head, a polite way of greeting people and handed us our menus. I glanced at Raleigh for a second, he was still smirking but he was staring at the menu. I looked down at my menu and read it.

Starters:

Broccoli soup with bread of your choice (Garlice, corn, potatoe)

Shrimp Salad

Main Course:

Steak with mash potatoes and vegetables

Japanese udon noodles with sea food

Korean style fried rice (Instructions at the back)

Dessert:

Chocolate or Caramel Ice Cream

Chocolate fudge cake

Wow. The menu sounded really good. That was the dinner menu so I turned over to see the breakfast menu.

Starters:

Tea or coffee of your choice

Main Course:

Omelet with peppers, mushrooms and onions, served with potatoes

Chinese congee

Complimentary breakfast

Dessert:

Fresh fruit

That sounded amazing as well. After looking back and forth and back and forth of the menu, I finally made my decision. A flight attendant walked up to us and sweetly smiled at us, "Good evening, what can I get for you two?" She asked.

Raleigh looked at me, "You start." He said. I nodded and looked at the flight attendant.

"I'll have the steak." I said to her.

She nodded and wrote something down on her notepad, "How would you like it cooked?"

"Medium-rare." I said.

She nodded again, "And your breakfast?"

"Erm, the complimentary breakfast, please." I said to her.

She nodded and looked at Raleigh, "And you sir?"

"I'll have the medium-rare steak and the omelet." He simply said.

She nodded and wrote a note down and looked at us, "Thank you." She said as she took the menus away from us.

I heard Raleigh sighed and looked at me, "I'm going to watch a movie." I said.

He nodded and took his own T.V out. I looked at the screen. 42, Iron Man 3, Fast and Furious 6, The notebook, The last song blah blah blah blah. Nothing really seemed appealing to me, so I just randomly chose a movie by using eenie meanie minnie moe. It landed on The Last Song. I sighed and clicked on it. I was looking forwards to an Action and Adventure movie but the Last Song is fine. The movie started in no time.

When I was in the wonders of the movie, the flight attendant interrupted me. I looked up. She was handing out hot towels and asking if we wanted any wine. I pointed at the white wine and Raleigh pointed at the red. She poured us each a glass and moved on to the next row. I looked back at my screen and the world of The Last Song oozed into my brain.

I was on the part when the night falls and the main character was in the bonfire with her friend when the food came. Our soup came first and I drank it down fast, the shrimp salad came next. I didn't eat it, I hated sea food. I looked at Raleigh, he was looking at his screen while he was eating a shrimp. He looked so cute, his focused look and his chewing all in one made me want to kiss his whole face. I held that desire to myself.

I turned back to my screen and relaxed. Our main course came. It looked so fancy. With the garlic bread on one side of the tray, the glass of wine and water on the other, the salt and pepper around the middle, my utensils were neatly stuffed into my napkin and the steak and potatoes were placed lovely in the middle of the tray. It looked so good.

I unfolded my napkin and placed it on my lap. I looked at my screen to find a intense seen happening. I looked down at my steak and chopped a piece off. I held it to my mouth and smelt the juice goodness. I bit into it. "Oh my god..." I whispered. It was sooooooo goooooood. It was cooked perfectly, the juice came immediately out from the meat and the sauce for the steak was terrific. Sometimes, airplane food can be good. I finished my meal quickly. Gobbled down every last bit of it. I used manners of course, but I eat fast.

The flight attendant asked me if I was done and I nodded to her. I looked at my screen and pressed play, heading back to the movie. I felt Raleigh shift next to me and I looked at him. He was adjusting his seat, moving further back. He looked at me and grinned then looked at my lips, "Caroline, you got something on your mouth." He said.

"What?" I asked him.

He rolled his eyes, "Here, let me do it..." He moved closer and used his napkin to wipe off some steak sauce from my lower lip. I moved closer to him to peck a soft kiss on his lips. I let go, feeling the heat on my cheeks burn into my body. I gave him a nervous laugh, "Sorry..."

He just smiled at me and placed his napkin on his table and resumed to pushing his seat back with his controller. I sighed and looked out of the window, WHY ON EARTH DID I JUST DO THAT. UGH. I thought. I was frustrated in myself. I shook it off, whatever. Just forget about, it's the past, just move on. I pressed the play button on my screen and the movie started again.

A few minutes later, the tray of desserts arrived. I looked over and saw the chocolate fudge cake. It looked so good. I had to have it. The flight attendant gestured her hand to what we liked to eat and I immediately pointed at the cake. She nodded her head and handed me the cake. She also asked if I would like tea or coffee and I pointed to the coffee. She gave me a bag of brown sugar and a small cup of milk. I thanked her and poured some sugar and most of the milk inside my coffee, I stirred it and took a bite of my cake. It was. Amazing. I gobbled that up in no time and I continued to watch my movie.

The movie ended when I drank my first sip of my coffee so I switched to Iron Man 3. Iron Man 3 was one of my favorite movies of all time. I loved the concept, the super hero and the fighting. I always was the kind of girl that enjoyed Action and Adventure.

Soon, night fell. The sky turned dark blue and I heard a snoring sound coming from Raleigh. I looked over at sleeping Raleigh. He looked so cute, well, he looked cute all the time. Those eye lashes of his were so dark and long, it made him look so sexy. I just finished Iron Man 3 and I am bored as hell. I switched the screen into the map and realized that we had around 10 hours of flying to do. We were currently in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

The Pacific ocean... god, bad memories flow through this ocean. Luckily no more Kaijus would interfere with our world.

I sighed and grabbed out my book. I turned on my light and began reading.

After around an hour of reading, I felt like my bladder was getting full. I had to pee. I looked at Raleigh again. His hands were behind his head and he was sprawled across his seat. His seat went completely low, it formed a bed. His feet were blocking the entrance and exit of my way to go out and back in after I finished going to the toilet. I had to be super careful.

I got up and gently made my way out. I stepped over Raleigh's long legs and out to the hall way. Not bad. I walked into the nearest available toilet and stepped in.

I looked at myself in the mirror, boy was I a mess.

My hair was shooting out in different direction, not as usual, staying in place. I found bags under my eyes, I looked like a panda. Yes, I was tired but I can't hardly sleep on an airplane. I tried to straighten out my hair and rinse my mouth with the sink water. I did my business and washed my hands with soap and went out.

I was so lost in thought about my appearance that I didn't realize Raleigh was still sleeping. I tripped over his legs and landed flat on his chest, he jumped in surprise. I blushed and pushed myself off of him, "Oh my gosh... Raleigh, I'm really sorry..." I said to him, full of embarrassment.

He shook his head, "Nah, it's fine. I eventually go back to sleep anyway." Then he pulled a strand of my loose hair behind my ear. That touch made my cheeks burn. The sensation boiled in my body. I gave him a nervous laugh and stepped over him, back to my chair. I put on my head phones and click to the music section. I pressed play for 30 Seconds to Mars. I listened and thought about everything. How my mother was so nice to me, how my sister was addicted to sex, how I met someone that really showed me... who I am... Raleigh... Raleigh Beckett.

I woke up with the smell of fresh coffee, eggs and potatoes. My eyes fluttered open and I hear plates colliding with others, the pouring of juice and the cutting of food. I sat up and looked over at Raleigh, he was apparently eating an omelet. His eyes were glued to the T.V screen but he noticed my movement and turned. He smiled at me, "Wow, well you slept a lot." He said.

I touched my hair, "Yeah... weird..." I said. Then I had the urge to go to the toilet, again.

I got up and Raleigh let me pass. I walked to the toilet and closed the door. A few seconds later I walked out of the toilet and back to my seat. My food was waiting for me. I smiled at it.

I buttered my toast and ate a bite while I stared at my fruit. I grabbed my fork and ate a bite of watermelon. A flight attendant asked me if I wanted tea or coffee, I chose coffee. She poured a cup and handed it to me, I grabbed a pack of brown sugar and she gave me some milk.

I played 42 and started to watch the movie while I ate my breakfast. Around 10 minutes to the movie. The movie paused and the flight attendant's voice boomed into my ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now descending to Hong Kong. Please put your seats up right and relax. Thank you for flying Asiana." She said. She also said the same things in Chinese and Korean.

After I heard her announcement I quickly finished my breakfast, sipped the last sip of coffee and the flight attendant came and collect my finished breakfast. I put my table into the slot and looked at my screen. A few minutes later, the T.V turned off.

"Come on." I said, annoyed.

I sighed and looked out of the window. Sure enough, I saw Hong Kong island. The beautiful buildings and mountains made everything look just like the pictures that I saw on the internet.

"Raleigh, it's so beautiful..." I said to him.

He looked out of the window and sighed in satisfaction, "Yeah. Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities. I will always love this place." He smiled at me.

I smiled back. I heard the wheels open up and we were flying down onto the Hong Kong airport. The airplane landed softly onto the ground and made a quick move on stopping. I heard the breaks squeak and the wings trying to stop the wind. We quickly stopped.

The airplane rolled into a place where it was assigned to be. The flight attendant and captain told us it was 29 degrees Celsius which is pretty hot and they also said their thanks for flying Asiana. The doors opened and we got out of our chairs. I grabbed my back pack and I looked at Raleigh. He was getting his bag. His shirt raised a little and I saw a glimpsed of his bare stomach. He grabbed his back pack and we looked at each other. His eyes were so intense that I had to look away as soon as we made contact.

We walked out of the airplane and into the airport. Raleigh patted my shoulder as I looked at the fascinating airport.

"Welcome to Hong Kong." Raleigh whispered into my ear.

HAI. Sooooo this seems like a longer chapter because of the scene :P I hope you enjoyed it. Reviews, reviews, reviews :3 Hehehe okay byebye :P
