Emilys POV:
We got our seat numbers and we got to choose, so me and Michelle are seat 23 and 24. We put our bags in the overhead storage and sat in our seats with our seatbelts buckled, there is a spare seat because its 3 seater but its fine because Riley is there. "um guys, can I sit in the middle." Riley says. "seriously Riley..." I see Michelle looks a bit disappointed. "um, why don't we see if one if anyone from A troupe has a spare middle seat." This was the only other option because Riley doesn't like heights which means no window seat. And she will feel uncomfy in the row seat. "Ok, quickly!." Michelle says. I get up with Riley grabbing her bags to see if anyone has a spare seat. and theres two spares. James and west or Giselle and richelle. "so who you choosing?." I ask. "babe, come here." James says. "don't call me BABE." o Riley is a bit moody today. "girls, you have to it down now the plane is taking off in 2 minutes." the flight attendant says. "I will pick...Ugh James stop giving me the look!." "RILEY CHOOSE." I got a bit angry there. "fine, James." to be honest I would've pick here to, I couldn't keep up with Richelle and her big ego. Riley goes to sit down and I sit back in my seat next to Michelle. "excited?." I ask. "excited?, HELL YES!." I giggle. I buckle up my seat belt and Michelle looks out the window while holding my hand.
"wow, this is going fast. Isn't it?." the plane is about to hit the sky. "well, yes?." she says. "well I guess you're used to it? I mean when you moved it was like probably loads of trips from Madison to here." "tell me about it." we both giggle, But were all of a sudden in the sky. "see not that bad, here suck this." she gives me a lolly pop, i'm a bit confused but it cleared my ears. My eyes open wide. "good isn't it?." Michelle gives me a wink. "hey, can this go up?." Michelle pulls the handle between the two seats up. "perfect." "ok, we are now safe in the air to start refreshments and good orders, you can also remove your belts and go to the restroom if needed." the announcer says. I unbuckle my seatbelt and lean on Michelle's shoulder, she starts twirling my hair. I love my hair being played with! it feels so good for some odd reason. "wait, we could make this more comfy." I say, Michelle looks confused. I put all the arm rests up but no the last one, Michelle putter legs up and I lay between them. See this can work for us because we aren't the tallest people, well me if you're referring to someone. Michelle is 5"5 and i'm 5"3.
23 minutes later
Me and Michelle have been resting for around 20 minutes now just talking, its been easy so far!. only another 4 hours...eh. This lady walks past us and looks at us weirdly. "um can we help you?." Michelle asks. "yes, its not right for the same gender to be dating!, it's wrong. You shouldn't kiss the same gender. it's wrong." me and Michelle just star at each other. I mean we're used to it, there is quite a lot of homophobic people in this planet. the lady just walks away. "you okay?." I ask?. "not really." I turn round to see Michelle release a few tears. I get up in the tight area and sit on down looking at her. "I just want to have a life were people could just look at us and see something normal...but no they look at us and think we are weird, or we should die or something. Cant we just be like other people?. And not get made fun of, is it that hard of a thing to do?." Michelle says while crying, which makes me cry. "please don't cry...you make me cry." we giggle sadly. "sorry." "no it's fine." I wipe my tears away. "mich, we've just got to face the fact there is some homophobic people in the world. But we're strong, we can get over it." she lets a small smile out. "cuddles?." "you want cuddles?." she makes puppy dog eyes, how can I say no!. I give her a quick, but long lasting kiss on the lips and give her cuddles, not very comfy but its fine. until I cant feel us both drifting off, and...an...a.
3 hours later.
I wake up. I check my phone which is in my pocket. "wow, 3 hours of sleep." I say. "yep, three hours!, I am bored sick." Michelle says. I see i'm also wrapped in my favourite blanket and the shark I brought in in my arms. I do really act like a kid. I sit up to see Michelle watching our favourite movie on her phone. 'to all the Boys i've loved before.' "how much have you watched?." I ask. "only 10 minutes." I instantly sit um and snuggle up to Michelle. "movie time." I say. I wrapped the blanket around us and put my shark plushie in my left arm. "oh and Riley did come see us to see how we were." she tells me. "by herself?, if she did wow." "nope, she was holding onto James..." "not a surprise." the chat stops and we just watch the movie.
4 minutes later.
"ugh I cant hear it!." Michelle says. "I Brought my AirPods, they're in my bag." I say. "can you get them i'm going to pee". I really do need too pee to be honest "sure babe." I get up to pee and see two people I didn't not expect to be snuggled up...like at all. oh well. I hed to the bathroom and lock the door. do my business and leave. by the time i'm back Michelle has the AirPods ready. I sit down and put one in my ear. now I can hear it properly.
56 minutes later
the movie ends, and we are about to land. Michelle puts her phone away and I quickly put my blanket, AirPods and shark away in the over head storage. "ready to land?." Michelle says. "yep!, it's so warm in Miami!." I can feel the heat already, and as its mid day its gonna be boiling. "oh and guess who I saw earlier...snuggling up. not in a friend way like more than a friend. Like was we were doing!." "who was it." "it was...".
