Living through Lenses

Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve 

We were at the airport listening to my mum blab on about making sure to put our boarding passes and passports in a safe place. We had already checked in and now we were just waiting for the plane to come. I felt Ethan’s hand in mine making it warm, I turned to look at him listening to my mum so seriously. I held in my laugh. He was wearing a light grey t-shirt that wasn’t too tight but tight enough to see an outline of his body. The front said Abercrombie & Fitch. And on the bottom he was wearing some black trackies, we both agreed to wear comfy clothes. I smiled at him, he was such a cutie, and I could see some girls checking him out already.

‘Kayla!’ My head shot from scanning Ethan’s hot bod and turned to face my mum. I could almost feel Ethan smirking. ‘Kayla did you hear a thing I just said?’

‘No but I’m sure Ethan can fill me in.’ I smiled an innocent smile and Ethan just shook his head and chuckled. My mum crossed her arms.

‘Don’t worry, Mrs Frost I heard what you said.’ She sighed.

‘Okay I’m trusting you two to behave, I will be shopping if you need me.’

‘Yes mummy!’ She gave a dead look and walked away with my dad smiling.

I turned to Ethan.

‘So what do you want to do for the next hour?’ He asked.

‘Are you kidding? Of course it is …’ He laughed.

‘Wait let me guess …’ He feigned a thinking face. ‘RACE YOU TO THE LINDT SHOP!’

I gasped and we both ran through the airport looking for the lindt shop that we had searched for on the Internet yesterday. We got a lot of disapproving looks from the public in the airport but we didn’t particularly care, we had done a lot of rebellious stuff anyways.

I saw a golden sign glinting at the side of my eyes. I immediately snapped my head in that direction and spotted the Lindt store. I ran there chuckling because I got there first only to find that Ethan was already in the line to buy macaroons. I frowned as he laughed.

‘How did you get here so fast?’ I demanded.

‘Found it first.’ He smirked.

‘I bet you asked someone where it was!’ His smirk turned into frown.

‘I did not!’

‘You cheat!’

‘I didn’t cheat!’ I felt a tap on my shoulder.

‘Could you kids keep it down a little?’ An old lady asked sweetly.

‘Oh I’m so sorry.’ She smiled and I returned it and joined Ethan in the line.

‘Ethan your so annoying that even a sweet old lady couldn’t put up with you!’

‘Me? It was all your fault!’ He smirked.

We argued until we were finally served. We ordered five chocolate macaroons, five white chocolate macaroons and two iced chocolate drinks, large.

‘Oh my lord I could just die now.’ I moaned as I took another bite of the macaroons.

‘No, you’d miss me to much.’ Ethan winked and chuckled.

‘Hmm, you wish!’ He chuckled and took another bite of his chocolate macaroon.

Suddenly Ethan was a whole heap closer to me, his lips lightly touched mine. On instinct I flinched a little but before I could move away his lips crashed into mine. I could taste the chocolate in his mouth; it made me start kissing him back. He smiled against my lips and pulled away, I was left in a daze. I looked around blushing but no one was staring at us. I shifted in my chair as Ethan placed his butt back in his own chair.

‘I bet you’ll miss me now.’ I didn’t answer; instead I sipped my iced chocolate as I felt him smirk at my actions. He had just started on a sentence when my phone started singing Check Yes Juliet by We Three Kings.

‘Hi mum.’

‘Kayla, we’re boarding soon, I’ll meet you guys at A4.’

‘Yeah see you in a sec.’

‘Let’s go Ethan.’ He saluted me mockingly and we left the Lindt shop reluctantly.

When we got to A4 my parents were already in the line to board the plane. I tapped my mum on the shoulder.

‘Uh! What took you so long? I nearly called you again.’

‘Well, I spotted an ice-cream store on the way.’ My mum shook her head and sighed.

‘I should’ve known.’

I was seated next to Ethan and my parents were all the way on the other side of the plane, weirdly. I was just a little nervous considering that Ethan and I had the seats to ourselves since the third person was not boarding until our next stop in like four hours. Our flight was approximately six hours and Ethan was already playing games.

‘Ethan we haven’t even left the ground yet!’ And as if planned the game screen was turned off.

‘Damn!’ He crossed his arms and I laughed at him.

We had gotten snacks and drinks yet dinner still hadn’t come. I was versing Ethan in feeding frenzy.

‘Argh! I died again!’ He chuckled.

‘Hah, you suck at this!’ It had been an hour and a half and all we’ve been doing is playing this game. The rest of the plane was quiet. I heard some rattling noises and turned my head to find the flight attendants bringing carts of food towards us.

‘What would you like to eat ma’am?’ A young blonde lady asked. Her hair was tied in a bun and her navy skirt was tightly fitted around her butt. Her white collared shirt was loosely tucked into her skirt.

‘What is there to eat?’ I asked her.

‘Grilled fish and vegetables with rice or curry chicken and fried rice.’

‘I’ll have the chicken thanks.’ She handed me a foiled plate with some salad and cake on the side. She also poured me some coke.

‘And you sir?’

‘Same as her.’ She gave him a flirty smile. Ugh, he is sixteen for god’s sake though he did look a lot older then that so I let it go.

The dinner was surprisingly really good but the salad tasted a bit …ugh. It had been almost four hours now and the speakers told us to stay in our seats. I could feel my ears popping slightly but I just continuously yawned so I was fine. Luckily we actually didn’t need to get off, there were just some people getting on the plane. Ethan played with the strands of my hair as I still tried to beat his highest score on Luxor. I felt someone sit next to me but I ignored the person.

‘Kayla?’ My heart stopped, I recognised that voice. I slowly turned to face him and hoped that it wasn’t true, I could no longer feel Ethan playing with my hair but instead I felt him stare at the boy with curiosity.

‘Nate?’ I felt my eyes widen and my heart drop. He had gotten more gorgeous since the last time I saw him. His light brown hair had streaks of blonde through it, his brown eyes with the light specks of green. His jawline was more defined and his voice, manlier.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and it calmed me. Ethan’s voice was soothing.

‘Kayla who is this?’ I could feel a tinge of protection in his voice.

‘This is Nate Varsity, and Nate this is Ethan Rain, my boyfriend.’ I emphasized the last word I said and saw playfulness appear in Nate’s eyes.

‘Oh I see, quite good looking aye.’ He saw it all as a game, tear me away from Ethan within the flight and he wins.

‘I’m Ethan, nice to meet you Nate.’ Ethan said, he knew we had a past just from my expression and attitude towards him.

‘And I’m Nate, Kayla’s ex-boyfriend.’
