Sorry for my inactivity, I had exam week, and them what I like to call ' Recover from exam week'. Anyway we are back to Tom, Aneisha and Dan, and we have some Toneisha. There is a little surprise at the end, that will just make things more complicated for everyone. Enjoy!
"I spy with my little eye something beginning with...c" said Aneisha.
"Clouds" said Dan simply.
"Yeah clouds, that's all it's been for the last two hours" Tom sighed.
"Nope" Aneisha smugly said.
"Nope?" Tom asked confused.
"Nope, crazy, this journey is making me go crazy" Aneisha sighed.
"It'll be over soon" said Dan, both Aneisha and Tom had slept, but Dan was too on edge, but both Tom and Aneisha noticed the black bags under his eyes.
"Well we could've probably taken the earlier flight if someone didn't have to stop for a makup check which lasted half an hour" said Tom.
"Well there could have been cute guys on the plane" Aneisha retaliated.
"Well luckily I don't see any cute guys around here" said Tom folding his arms over his chest.
"Okay 1, how do you know what a cute guy looks like and 2, how is that lucky?" asked Aneisha, giggling.
There was a long pause.
"Struggling with an answer there Tom?" Dan smirked.
"Hang on, hang on the answer is forming in my head" Tom said, with a look of concentration.
Dan raised an eyebrow, and Aneisha just rolled her eyes.
"Well 1, I look in the mirror every morning and 2, we don't need you getting distracted" said Tom smirking, pleased with his answer.
Aneisha lowered her eyes, and mumbled "oh".
"For a moment there I thought you had a crush on Neish" Dan said, chuckling and looking between the two of them.
Tom and Aneisha both stared at each other, oblivious to Dan, until Aneisha broke eye contact, looking down and blushing.
Dan coughed awkwardly, and was about to say something, but was cut off by a voice speaking through a microphone.
"We have landed in Dubai, it is 7:43 in the morning, and the sun is shining bright, remember when exiting the plane, do not forget your small luggage, or anything else you have brought with you, we hope you had a comfortable journey, and we hope you enjoy your stay in this beautiful city, you may now undo your seatbelts, have a safe time" A woman said in a much too cheerful voice.
"Why do I get the feeling our time won't be safe here" Tom stretched and yawned.
Aneisha rolled her eyes.
~~~~ 3 hours later ~~~~
Dan sighed, looking out of the window. It was a beautiful day, and he felt at peace, knowing he was in the same country as her.
Tom and Aniesha were somewhere doing god knows what. He felt bad for Aneisha about what Tom had said on the plane, it looked like Tom didn't care about Aneisha finding another boy cute, but Dan knew better. He knew that Tom had something for Aneisha, and he was pretty sure Aneisha had something for Tom too.
They were leaving this evening and Dan wasn't sure how he was going to react. Would he run to her and she run to him, and it would feel like slow motion? Would he just glare and flip the bird?.
Dan knew neither would happen, the first scenario was impossible and the second, well he didn't want to do that, he didn't really feel angry anymore, he just felt sad.
Dan couldn't help but think that this was all too easy. That the group never usually has this much luck, and there would always be something to prevent what they wanted.
Dan shoved those thoughts to the back of his mind, and banged his head against the window three times, hoping to clear all thoughts so he could take a nap without any worrying thoughts.
He wondered how Frank and Stella were. Maybe they were angry. Or maybe they would understand that this was something he had to do, just like Tom and Aniesha understood. Dan knew he would probably lose his job for this, but right now, he didn't think he cared.
There were tons of things that could go wrong with what they were doing, and Dan knew that. He knew that Zoe might not want to see him again, but as long as he see's her and she is okay, at least he will have the knowledge that he tried to get her back, and he wouldn't have to spend the rest of his life wondering what would've happened if he didn't do this.
Dan pushed himself from the window, and put the kettle on to make coffee, he was too on edge for a nap, and felt he needed to stay alert. He settled down on the sofa and rubbed a hand over his face, he was going to hell for this, he chuckled to himself.

Aneisha was leaning against the wall of the doorway of Tom's room. He was struggling with space chimps, and trying to jump over a spiky turtle. She sniggered to herself.
Aneisha coughed loudly and Tom jumped six feet, throwing his Nintendo DS in the air and falling off of the bed dramatically.
Aneisha laughed loudly when she saw Tom's face pop up over the bed with a confused expression and dishevelled hair. She thought it was kind of cute.
"Sorry to disturb your troubles with incredibly persistent space turtles" Aniesha said behind giggles.
"Seriously Neish, I think I lost 10 years of my life there jeez" said Tom, who was red in the face.
"I'm sorry I just couldn't resist" said Aneisha, coming to sit beside him.
"It's fine I shouldn't have let my guard down" said Tom, as he sat up straight.
"Ooh look at you Mr tough guy" Aneisha laughed, pinching his arms.
Is she flirting with me? Tom thought.
"So I was thinking about the weather here and how nice it is" said Aneisha, Tom lifted his eyebrow.
"It's supposed to be really nice for the whole week" Aneisha said, like she was trying to prove something.
"So?" Tom asked, confused.
"So, I thought that maybe you and I could have a walk along the beach, after we find Zoe of course" Aneisha smiled.
Tom laughed, and looked at her like she was insane.
"We can't do that!" Tom said, like it was incredulous.
"Why not?" asked Aneisha, trying her best not to look hurt.
"We already have enough romance in the MI High programme as it is, there's literally no room for anymore, and I'm seriously not the relationship type" said Tom, noticing her hurt expression.
"You deserve better than some nerd anyway Neish" Tom added quietly.
Is he really doing this to me? Aneisha thought, trying to keep the tears at bay.
"Well if you think that, you obviously don't know anything about me Tom Tupper" Aneisha said, quickly leaving the room before the tears spilled over.

High heels clanked against the plane exit, and walked towards a man wearing a suit.
"Ma'am we hope you've had a safe journey" said the man with an accent.
"Oh it was perfect" the woman said, removing her glasses and headscarf, to reveal a creamy pale face with bright red lips.
"Perfect" Smiled the Criminister.
