Spring Break(2)

Chapter 2: Welcome to Florida

After a couple of hours the plane landed on the tarmac. Finally you got off the plane and made your way to the baggage claim, waking your legs up as you walked. When you got to the baggage claim you had to stand around for a few minutes to wait for your bag, but when it came out, you instantly recognized it and picked it up. Once you got into the main hallway you walked up to the Conquistador statue and gave him a fist bump, like it was a second nature. Then you made your way over to the fish tank.

After a few minutes of staring at the tank you heard a familiar voice ask, "Looking for Ted? Because he's right there." You quickly turned around and gave Danny a hug and then said, "I know, I already found Ted, now I'm looking for Freddy the Lobster." Danny looked confused and you explained, "Freddy is what Travis named the lobster in the tank." Just as Danny understood you spotted the lobster and so he grabbed your bag and walked you to his car. Just as you got in Danny's car it hit you, 'Where's Travis?'

On the drive to Bradenton your question was answered. Danny explained while he was driving, "Travis was so excited last night that he couldn't get to sleep. I finally got him to lie down after you texted him saying you were on the plane and I told him I'd wake him up before I left. But when I went to wake him, he was oouuttt, so since he had barely slept all week on top of being up all night, I left him there." You instantly understand and are ok with it, and then you realize that it's almost 1 and you hadn't eaten since breakfast. Danny noticed the time too and decided to go to Chick-fil-a once he pulled off the highway. When you got there you each ordered something, plus a sandwich for Travis, and then continued on your way to the house, eating your chicken and waffle fries the rest of the way there, sitting in a comfortable silence.

When Danny pulls into the driveway of the house he hands you the house key and tells you to go on inside and that he'd get your bag. So you get out and grab your backpack and walk up to the door. Hands shaking you put the key in the doorknob and unlock the door. As you step in you hear the patter of small paws running up to the door, breaking the silence, and then a few small yips. You look down and you see a chihuahua. Slowly you bend down and say, "Hi Elvis, how are you boy?" then you stick out your hand and let him sniff it before you pet him. Then you slowly walk into the living room, trying to not step on Elvis, you're not used to such a small dog. Gently you set your backpack on the ground by the couch, sit down and bring Elvis up onto the couch with you, and you sit there for the next few minutes petting him. Then Danny walks in and says to you, "Hey, Trav's room is just down the hall, I left his door open when I left, you could go wake him up."

Carefully you set Elvis down, get up and quietly walk down the hall to Travis' room. Slowly you peek around the doorframe and let out a soft giggle. Travis is spread out on his bed cuddling one of his ugly dolls and it looks like he's muttering something. Slowly and quietly you make your way closer to his bed. Once you get closer you can hear what he's muttering, it's your name, over and over again. You take a quick step back, and after a minute, you come up with an idea. This time you walk all the way up to the bed again and crouch down near his face. Slowly you lean in, and you kiss him, then after a moment you feel Travis begin to kiss back, you let the kiss last for another couple of moments before slowly pulling away and standing up. Once you stood up, you look down at Travis' face and see his eyes flutter open. He slowly blinks a couple of times and a minute passes before he realizes that you're really there. Once he does realize you're there though, he jumps out of his bed, picks you up, and spins you. Once he sets you back down he holds on for another moment, then kisses your forehead. Then you mention that Danny had bought him a sandwich from Chick-fil-a and he took your hand and you both ran down the hall, laughing as you went the short distance from his room to the kitchen.
