The Beanie

Chapter 17

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. We'll be leaving in a minute, thank you" the intercom buzzed throughout the speakers of the plane. I took my seat, which was a wing seat and thankfully no one was next to me. Strapping in, I stared out the window at the airport building outside and without thinking my eyes began to desperately search for him.

Alex... What is he doing to me..? Why did I kiss back? Was it true that I might feel a spark? What I did know though, was that he is an amazing kisser. Like, wow.

I giggled at my comment trying to be subtle about it since the plane was fairly silent. I guess these people are fairly stressed when taking off. "Please put on your seatbelt because we'll be leaving now, enjoy your ride" the guys voice in the intercom rang throughout the plane so everyone heard. Obviously they did because a few sound clicks were surrounding me and the chatter seemed to die down to whispers. I ripped out my hair tie from the ponytail, letting my ringleted crimson hair fall down my shoulders and back. Soon to be covered by Alex's beanie, he said it is his favourite all because of me... Now it's my favourite, all because of him...

As soon as my foot stepped inside the airport in London, it was swarming with thousands of people. Great. I heaved my suitcase along beside me until I reached a vacant seat next to a small food court. I fell onto the chair and just relaxed for a moment with my eyes shut. "Ahem" someone was clearing their throat and I could tell it was towards me. I mentally groaned, contemplating about snapping at them. I opened my eyes to reveal a guy who looked around my age, and let's just say he looked pretty good...

Dirty blonde hair styled into a small quiff, beautiful hazel eyes, killer jawline and he was dressed in a faded blue hoodie with black jeans and vans. After a moment I think he realised that whole time I was checking him out. Shit. Awkwardly trying to avoid that situation I asked what he wanted. His face just twitched into this disapproving and disappointed look. What did I do? Wait... He's got an eyebrow piercing, which made him seem so familiar...

"Ray!" My eyes wider then ever and I jumped onto him with my arms circles around his neck. Instantly he draped his around my waist picking me up and spinning me. "Oh my god I didn't recognise you! I thought you were a random about to kick me out of my chair!" I said in between giggles which earned a chorus of laughter from him. "I may not be a stranger but I'm still going to steal your chair" putting me back on the ground and sprawling out on the little seat. No fair. I stuck out my bottom lip and made myself seem upset. Surprisingly taking full effect on him, his eyes softened and he threw his head back groaning. "Fine..." Ray patted his lap for me to sit on, I skipped over in victory and sitting on top of him. I shifted around trying to get comfortable but I heard small moan that was instantly covered up by a cough. He just hugged me from behind so I wouldn't accidentally do that again, and as I leant back into his chest we just talked quietly because our faces were really close.

I just sat there happily in his embrace whispering back and forth, giggling every now and then at something funny he had done/said. "There was even this time when I took Stella on a date. She is like the hottest girl at our school, like dayum th-" I just laughed at him and hit his chest to tell him to get on with the story. "I'm just saying... But yeah I took her out to the movies and the only thing showing was a horror movie, honestly I thought it'd be one of those 'girl gets afraid and snuggles up to the guy' opportunities. Turns out she loves them and I screamed like a 6 year old girl within the first 10mins", he tried to hide his embarrassment but I could see it. I was laughing so much I felt a warm test slip down my face. Ray leant forward and kissed it away, then we just smiled at each other for a moment. Without thinking our heads leant in, our smiles faded into blank faces as our lips were so close I could feel his minty breath. As soon as our lips brushed, we jolted back at the sound of someone yelling our names. The voice I recognised as Amelia, stunning as ever.

Her orange hair flowing down her tall frame reaching her hips, piercing green eyes and a well put together outfit on; white blouse, hightop denim jeans and knee high brown boots with some heal to exaggerate her height. "I see you found her but didn't come back to tell us Romeo" teasing Ray for keeping me all to himself. I just laughed at this and felt his cold face hide in the crook of my neck in embarrassment. His face buried further at what Amelia says next, "But no matter, I actually spotted you both when Raven was first in the chair. I just stalked for a bit, ya know, taking a few photos..." Oh god, no! I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks which satisfied her due to the laugh that escaped her lips.

"Come on love birds we're going out to dinner tonight but Raven needs to unpack and all that jazz" Amelia chirped while heading towards the exit with my suitcase and a small camera in her other hand, which I did NOT notice before. Before I could get up, Ray tightens his arms around me and just lifts me up along with himself like I was nothing. Once we stood our position didn't change, I just stood on his shoes so when he moved he'd just carry me. Without protesting, we slid his feet along the floor so we moved, we probably looked ridiculous as we waddled around the airport.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rave seemed to forget ALL about Alex when she saw Ray. Do you think Ray and Ravens reunion will become more then expected? They only saw each other for less then an hour and almost kissed, what's going to happen over a week?!

I was also wondering if you's think I should write for each day she's in London ORR just be lazy and write 3 and say the rest just passed by?

I wrote this when I woke up around 9-10am because my bed was just soo comfy and warm. I didn't leave it for another hour or two, only when my music stopped working. But now I'm back in bed and don't plan on leaving x3

VOTE, COMMENT, SHAREE ETC..! :d
