{Bella's POV}

I walked down the aisle of the jet, making my way to my seat. I sat down once I found my seat, Vinnie sitting next to me. "Why did Blake have to make the flight at 5 in the morning." I complained, trying to rub the tiredness out of my eyes. "I don't know, but you should try to sleep." He said, just as exhausted as me. He pulled me into his side, leaning my head into his lap.

His fingers gently rubbed my scalp, tingles running down my spine. I hummed in contentment, letting him know that I was thankful. "Get some sleep, darling." I grabbed his free hand, intertwining our fingers. I shut my eyes, letting his touch lull me to sleep.

*****

"Noah I'm not going to argue with you right now." "I'm not asking you to argue with me, I'm asking you to stay away from Bella. I know she still loves me." I started to stir awake, not enjoying what I was waking up to. "I'm not doing this with you Noah. I said I would be civil but that's only if you are too."

"Look, she's not in the right head space—" "That's not for you to decide. I'm fed up with you saying shit for Bella. She's her own person and she can certainly talk for herself. If she wasn't ready for a relationship then she would tell me. I don't need you telling me whatever bullshit you think she feels. You aren't her." My heart melted at his defensive state.

"Just go back to your seat Noah." I said, making sure he heard me. "Vinnie asked me to walk over here." "No he didn't. You've been trying to start shit with him ever since he complimented me. Get your head out of your ass and go back to your seat." I raised my voice slightly, fed up with all the bullshit lies he's spitting.

"Bella I—" I sat up, lifting my head from Vinnie's lap. "Save it Noah. I don't care." I snapped. Noah looked at me, not expecting an outburst like that. "I'm not the same person you married and ditched. So get over me, and get over yourself." I felt Vinnie squeeze my hand, making me squeeze his back.

"Whatever." Noah grumbled, going back to his seat. I sighed, leaning my head back against my seat. "I'm sorry we woke you up, baby." Vinnie said quietly, as if speaking any louder would shatter the moment. "It's okay, Handsome. S'not your fault." I assured him. He pressed a soft kiss to my neck, making me turn to face him.

I smiled when I made eye contact with him. I puckered my lips, pressing them against his. I pressed 3 short kisses to his lips, feeling content. He always brought this sense of calming nature wherever he went. Always so chill and laid back. Not too worried about anything. "You're very beautiful." He mumbled, rubbing his nose against mine.

"Thank you." I whispered, kissing him once more. "Did you sleep at all, baby?" I asked, receiving a head shake. "You should get some rest, Vin." I reached my hand up, pulling his head to rest on my shoulder. He slouched in his seat, being the small spoon for once. "I'm so glad Blake got us first class, the seats are much more comfortable." He whispered. I hummed in agreement.

Vinnie lifted my legs to rest on top of his, making me sit on his lap. His head was still nuzzled into my shoulder, his arms wrapping around my waist. I slung one of my arms over his shoulders, running my fingers through the ends of his hair. With the way Noah was acting, and has been acting, this was going to be a long trip.

We had 4 more hours of this flight, Vinnie was still sound asleep with his head now resting on my lap. "So are you and him official now?" I looked up, Dixie now sitting across from me. "Uh, yeah." I said, awkwardly. "Great, so then you'll leave Noah alone." My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"You better not break that boy's heart Bella. You could flip on him just like Noah did you. Vinnie is a good guy, and believe me when I say he's way out of our league." I bit the inside of my cheek, almost letting out a snide remark. "Just know your place, and now that Vinnie is lowering his standards."

"You know when I heard that Noah downgraded, I didn't think of you because I thought you had some dignity left. Guess I was wrong." So much for holding back the snide remark. "You have some nerve saying that." I scoffed at her. "You have some nerve walking over here and trying to start something that you and I both know you can't finish. Not to mention how you talk to me as if your so much fucking better; a shitty guy chose you over me, and you're coming over here to brag about it? I really dodged a bullet. Dixie I'm over Noah, I'm done with him. Please have him, take him. Preferably far away from me."

I'm not one to put other girls down, but I'm not gonna sit here and take her shit. I won't sit here and let her talk to me with such disrespect. God I sound like a fucking mom talking about her disobedient child. I mean, Dixie does act like a fucking child don't get me wrong. I feel like I'm back in high school hearing about all the drama people start just for the soul purpose of starting drama.

"You reached out and texted him. Don't act innocent, stay away from my fiancé." Fiancé? "Fiancé? Oh you have fun with the big white wedding, don't come crying to me when he ditches you for some lowlife bitch."

I could tell I was pushing her buttons, but hey if you don't wanna fight don't come over here and start one bitch. "Just because he ditched you doesn't mean he'll ditch me." I nodded, "Alright. Are you done with your little tantrum or do I have to pretend to be asleep for you to get it through your head that I'm bored and fed up with your shit?" She went to say something, before deciding not to and walking away.

Yep, this'll be a long trip.
