A Bewitching Dilemma

Hello London!

Just wanted to say HEY LADSS! 

.............................................    

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Heathrow Airport. Local time is 10 AM and the temperature is 18 degree Celsius. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about.

Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight.

If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you.

On behalf of Bluebird Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day ahead."

I opened my eyes to realize that I had my head leaned upon someone's shoulder. I tilted my head up to meet deep green eyes gently staring back at me. "Ouch" I winced as a stinging pain shot in my neck.

"Morning to you too sweetheart"

"Bran.", I rubbed my neck lifting it up and settling in my seat.

"How long was I out?"

"Since just after the meal. I hope you didn't drool much, over me", I caught his teasing smile and his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief, "We're here, sweet Saffron"

I peeked out the window on my side and saw the miniature model of London way down, on the ground, gleaming and sparkling.

.....................................

We all gathered our possessions and deboarded the plane.

"Boys will bring the luggage", Juliette announced out loud, as we proceeded to exit the airport.

"Yeah, as if we are your personal appointed Chaperones and chauffeurs", Bentley grumbled, while handling the luggage carts donned with baggage.

"Get those muscles to some work", Sofia said

Tyler smiled and bowed to her.

"Everything for you, milady"

"Yes, anything for you, sweetheart.", bran winked at me.

"Ok, enough whining, Ben. Let's get going", I said.

........................................

The taxi parked in front of a posh-looking hotel named HOTEL LAVISH HIGH.

"Adam, it seems like you did a great job with the rooms", I saw Juliette savoring the hotel's look too.

"It's a bit expensive though", Adam said.

"Who cares", Sofia laughed.

"How did I forget I was friends with spoilt brats"

"Shut up Adam. You have a frickin Rolls Royce yourself", Bran said as we moved inside.

Yeah, we all are kinda rich. I wouldn't say crazy rich but as in we can afford posh things. Both my parents are lawyers, Bran's dad is in real estate and deals with property all 'round the state, Sofia's mom has lush fashion boutiques in the whole of California, Adam's family has an IT firm, and Bentley's mom is a famous journalist and stays out of town most of the time and Tyler's mum is an event planner and his dad is a cardio surgeon. And yes we all are still reliant on our parents' money. This can be considered as a reason to call us brats though.

We entered the lobby. The hotel looked posh andbeautiful. Gorgeously designed tray ceiling and the flooring was lushwhite marbles. The lights and the chandeliers twinkled goldenly and there was avertical water fountain on a wall in a corner. Bran went to the reception desk to grab our keys. The girl at the reception desk was giving him flirtatious smiles and both were talking for so long. What's wrong with her?! No professionalism at all!? What are they even talking about?

NO. I am not MAD?! What? I AM NOT JEALOUS. Why would I be jealous?

How long does it take to just grab keys to already booked rooms? I can't take it anymore. I stood up from the sofa where we all were seated and strode towards Bran.

"How long does it take to grab a bunch of keys?", I said abruptly. The sharpness of my tone took everybody by surprise including me. The receptionist was staring at my hand which I had unconsciously looped around Bran's. Bran was looking at me with a teasing smirk, "There has been a mishap with the rooms, sweetheart. That's why it took so long", he smiled, "I am sorry if you missed me much"

"Shut up, Bran. I am just tired that's all"

"You sure?", he teased even more.

I was going to answer just when the reception girl decided to speak, "Madam, sir, here are your keys", she raised the bunch of keys towards us, looking at me disgust and then a forced smile.

I snatched the keys from her hand and started walking back to my friends; didn't even bother saying thank you as neither did she.

"What happened to the sweet angel, Saffron?", Bran said from my side, "What got onto your nerves? Jealousy?"

"Why would I be jealous?"

He didn't answer but just kept smiling at me and raised his eyebrows, "We both know, angel"

"I know nothing", I huffed and walked ahead.

"We got three couple rooms and a single room", Bran announced reaching our friends.

"The single's mine", Juliette said out loud. I stared at her with a surprised and confused look. I thought we were gon' be roommates. She just shrugged and gave me an apologetic look.

"I an' Sof are takin a couple.", said Tyler

"I an' Adam are takin the same.", said Ben smiling at me.

In the end, everyone was looking at me smiling, Bran was smirking as well. Then it struck me, "NOOOOOO! I am not sharing a room with him. NO NO NO!!!"

Everyone started laughing at my outburst.

"Can't help, angel. You're stuck with me now. Let's go", Bran started dragging me.

"I said No. I am not coming with you. I want a separate room."

"Don't be dramatic, Sarah. Just go. It is just for the while we're in London", said Julie. I gaped at her. They all planned this. That's why she took a single.

"Listen to your bestie, sweetheart. I promise I won't do anything unless you want me to."

"Shut up, Bran. And I will get back at you all", I warned all my friends.

They all just rolled their eyes at me and proceeded to their rooms. "You'll thank us later, Sarah", I heard Ben yell as Bran dragged me away to my room. Or shall I say 'our' room.
