Priceless Sensation

South Africa Wedding

Ted and I were still on the plane, but we were awoken by the captain telling us that we'd be landing shortly. I take my phone out, mid-sleep and check the time. Almost 4am. I groan quietly before putting the phone away and trying to go back to sleep until we land.

"We have to move and get the seats up and re-buckle our seatbelts." Ted murmurs sleepily.

"...right..." I yawn, moving so I'm sitting up in my seat and I put my seatbelt on.

Ted does the same, yawning himself. 

"Think it's worth going back to sleep?" I ask.

"Not really."

"Save sleeping until we get to Justin's place then."

"Right. That'll be more comfortable anyway."

I nod and lean my head on his shoulder since that's all I can do right now. Ted kisses the top of my head and laces his fingers with mine. 

"Fly in today, fly out tomorrow. Definitely have to do the things Justin and Riss suggested we do while we're here, today and part of tomorrow before we leave."

"Definitely."

"Sunset at the mountains.."

"For sure."

"You're probably excited to see what the dress I'm wearing today looks like. Aren't you?"

"Yes. I know it'll look amazing on you though."

"And you'll look handsome in the tux...like you always do when you wear suits."

"Of course." He chuckles.

"Still hiding the tux from me until the wedding?"

"Yes."

"Oh darn."

"You can make it."

"I know."

Soon enough the plane lands. We get off and go to baggage claim for our luggage. After that, we head outside to find who has come to pick us up. When we exit the airport, and go outside we find his dad there to pick us up.

"Hey Dad." Ted greets him. 

"Hey son, Ariel. How was the flight?"

"Long. Too long." I yawn.

"I know the feeling." He agrees. 

"Not used to being up this early. This is too early for me."

"Well let's get you two to the house and in bed. You can still get a few more hours of sleep still."

"Right." I nod.

"You go ahead and get into the car, we'll put everything in the trunk." Ted says to me.

I nod and kiss his cheek, getting in the car. Ted and his dad load the luggage into the trunk. Then they get in and it's off to the house. I did doze of a little during the car ride, but I did wake up on my own when we pulled into the driveway. Ted and Ted Sr carry most of the luggage in, with me grabbing some light stuff. Ted Sr. shows us our room and says goodnight. Ted and I say goodnight back and he closes the door. We leave our things by the door and since I was already in comfortable clothes, all I do is remove the flannel shirt I have on, leaving the tank top I had on underneath on. I remove my shoes and leave those by the end of the bed, and climb into the bed and go under the blankets. Ted kicks off his shoes and gets in bed. We cuddle up and fall right asleep.  It didn't really seem like we slept long, because the next time I did wake up, it was bright and sunny out. I could tell by the little bit of lighting coming into the room.
