CHRISTIAN.

9th JUNE.

As i was walking towards the customs, i ran into a very sexy yet petite brunette. She got disbalanced due to the crash so i held her in my arms to stabalise her. I know i have not yet overcome my fear of touch but its getting better. She turns her head to look up at me and only then it is that i get a good look at her. She has very beautiful powder blue eyes. And now that i have seen her beautiful face, i think i know her because she seems very familiar to me but i cant point out exactly who she is.

"You are Aisha, Right? We met at Tina's party."

"Ana, Ana Steele."

"Ohh, you are Gia's cousin."

"No, Modern school. Same did it ring a bell?."

She asks me giving a look which tells me to stop with the flirting.

But how can i, after all i am known for this flirty playboy character.

And now that she mentions the school.. i know exactly why she seemed familiar to me. We used to go to the same school in Savannah before i moved to Seattle with my family. I was 13 years old when my Mom got a job offer to be a chief pediatric in Seattle Grace, one of the finest hospitals in Seattle. It was a offer she couldn't refuse so my family moved to Seattle. We have been staying in Seattle ever since. Ana and i were classmates, we weren't friends. While i was a total playboy and spending those days living my teenage life she was always seen studying or reading a Classic even at that age. She was a book addict. she was always engrossed in studying or reading something and that is the reason why she always got good grades and a scholarship nonetheless.

"Ohh, Scholar Ana. How can i forget a book lover like you!"

And then i go over to her to give her a slight hug.

"Long time bro, how have you been?"

"Well, right now i am pretty damn late. Do you know where the boarding for the flight to aspen is being done?"

"Right over there." I point it out to her.

"Ok, thanx. Bye."

And then she moves to leave for the boarding. But i start to walk with her.

" Ana, wait a minute. You are going to Aspen for the trekking trip?." I ask her.

"yeah, are you also going there?."

"Yes, I am. You know that it's a trekking trip, Right?"

"And your point is?"

"No, nothing. I am just saying that we will have to climb mountains and sleep in tents. And then there may be wild animals too." I tell her a bit teasingly.

"I know what a trekking trip exactly includes, Christian." she tells me, frustated.

"Ok, Cool."

By now we have almost done all the formalities and now we juat have to submit our the that we are transporred near the plane to board the flight.

As i start walking towards the plane when i hear her say:- "hey, my bag! "

"I am not your servant. Ask me politely."

"Christian, please help me to carry my bag to the plane." She asks me nicely with a death glare and as a gentleman i help her with it.

I notice a book poking out from her bag so i take it out only to see, TESS by Thomas Hardy. Told you English Lit. lover.

When she notices me looking at it, she snatches it and puts it back.

I climb up the stairs and then walk inside the plane and its only then that i notice that Ana has not followed me inside. I poke my head out and see her standing near the steps, deep in thoughts. She looks worried..nervous..afraid, i would even say unsure.

"Hey, do i have to carry you too?" I try to lighten her mood but she doesnt even react.

"Ana-banana, what are you calculating standing over there. We gotta go, come."

She does'nt even react to the nickname that she hates the most. It's like my words are falling on deaf ears.

Since she is not even acknowledging my words, the last option i am left with is to shake her awake from her daydream. So i hop down the steps and click my fingers infront of her face. The click of fingers did the trick and now she is out of her daze..

"Ana, What will be the use of that book without you in Aspen?. Come on let's go."

"Christian, i have never been to anywhere like this, all alone."

"Ana, if you have never been to anywhere like this then, its your chance to change that. So get on that damn plane and catch the flight. Nothing wrong is gonna happen and you will have fun, a shit load of fun. Just trust me on that.

And who says you are alone. I am also going on this trek so you have me and then lets not forget about other people, right?

Now come."

She now looks a bit relieved. I offer her my hand to hold which she gladly accepts. And then we run up the stairs holding hands and board the flight, finally.

We boarded it at a perfect time because they were about to close the entrance. Coincidentally, mine and Ana's seat are side by side, so we are stuck with each other for our journey which has juat begin.

As soon as we get settled Ana digs her book out from her bag and starts reading while i am looking for Elliot and Ros

He and Ros had left home before me as i had gotten late and they did not wanted to miss the flight because of me. I am not able to find them as i cant move so i will call Elliot as soon as its ok to use our cellphones on the plane. As there is nothing much to do on a plane so i just fall asleep for the rest of our flight.
