chapter 27 - the first flight

Once again Clay's arm was wrapped around me and we fell asleep with no space in between us.

-

My alarm went off around 5 am and I woke up right away. Clay did too but he groaned in annoyance and fell back asleep a few minutes later.

I got up and started to get ready for today. We had 3 flights to take today so I needed to get ready. I put my hair like how I had it at the Halloween party this time with black butterfly clips that matched my shirt.

I slipped on my sweatpants and my black crop tank and my air force ones and then walked downstairs and did stretches to stretch out my body since I would be sitting all day today.

By now it was around 6 and I went back up stairs and cleaned my bathroom and my room. The only thing I had to do was make my bed which Clay was still sleeping in.

I prepared the things I needed to make breakfast and then went to go wake Clay up.

I jumped on him telling him to get up over and over and over.

He groaned with annoyance at me again and I told him it was Alaska day and he stopped moving completely.

I got nervous for a minute until I heard him roar and tackle me on the bed.

He giggled as now he was on top of me with all the covers over us.

We rolled over and now I was on top of him. I told him he needed to get up and to be downstairs in 10.

I ran back downstairs making breakfast and by now it was almost 8.

I had made us pancakes with bacon and fruit smoothies. I put the food outside and just finished setting up and Clay made it downstairs.

He also had grey sweatpants on and he had a black hoodie that matched my shirt color.

We sat outside watching the sunrise over the trees as we ate our breakfast.

He could tell I was very excited.

"Okay are your AirPods charged, is your phone charged, do you have your-" I was interrupted.

"Lysa I am fine. I have everything ready." He said grabbing my hand letting out a soft smile.

I was still worried he would forget something.

We brought our dishes inside and I gave Polo a big long hug before we started packing the car.

I asked my mom to come with us so she could drive the car home and so she got up as we started to fill the trunk of my car with our bags.

Clay hopped in the back and I sat in the passenger seat next to my mom.

My legs couldn't stop shaking I was so excited.

After about a 30 minute drive we got to the airport and butterflies filled my stomach. It was finally happening. We were going to my favorite place.

It was the 29th so we would get there around midnight and we would have the rest of the day to spend hanging out and then celebrate my birthday the next day with New Years that night.

I unbuckled my seatbeat and hopped out the car. I grabbed my four-wheeled suitcase and Clay grabbed his. I shut the trunk and hugged my mom goodbye before we walked into the airport.

I couldn't help but give Clay a huge hug and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Thank you." I said whispering in his ear as I let go.

He smiled at me and we continued to go to get our carry ons checked as well as our plane tickets.

We were all cleared and started walking to security.

We got in the fast lane that Clay payed extra for so it went by pretty quick.

We made it to our gate and still had a little over an hour left to spend.

We went to the Caribou in the airport and got drinks as well as getting cute little crossiants at a café.

We got a few more snacks for the plane ride and our gate was called for boarding.

Clay never told me we were riding first class until we got our tickets scanned.

"Clay seriously! You shouldn't have done this we could of taken a normal flight." I said overwhelmed with his kindness.

"It's fine my recent YouTube video got me a lot of money and I wanted to spend it on something that matters so much to me." He responded.

I couldn't help but smile in aw making a cute puppy face as we started to walk on the board walk.

We got in the plane and made it to our seats. They were criss-cross from each other so I could see Clay and he could see me.

I put my seat down so I could lay down and I grabbed the blanket they provided us and wrapped myself in it. It was thin and the air even though mine was closed it was still cold.

I tried to listen to music but nothing helped. I was freezing. Not long after Clay noticed and pulled a Dream hoodie from his bag. He knew this was going to happen.

He really was prepared.

We connect our airpods and played the playlist I made us. Our seats were on the side so I had a window seat and Clay had the isle one. We both watched the sun rise and then I closed my eyes for a bit as we listened to music.

I could tell Clay was watching me but it didn't bother me. I thought it was actually quite cute.

I never fell asleep and I eventually got up and pulled out a hello kitty coloring book and started to color.

Clay laughed at me letting out a small quiet little wheeze.

I smirked at him as a rolled my eyes and continued to draw. I got bored pretty quick and realized I wanted to sketch things so I pulled out my design book and started drawing a dress on one of the mannequins in my sketch book.

It was my dream wedding dress. It had flowy off the shoulder short sleeves, and a pretty train, it also had pockets.

The pilot announced we would be landing in Denver, Colorado soon and so I packed up and put my seat up and put my seat belt on.

We landed about 20 minutes later and got our carry ons and walked off the plane.

We walked to our next gate and had about an hour to spare so we walked around and shopped.
