The Absolute Blue Moon

it's Healy

Alaska's wind blows my face as I stepped out of the plane. It's afternoon here but cold already. As I inhaled, I feel a completely different air to the former weather where I lived. I like cold since it would make me sweat rarely. So that I don't need to take a shower twice a day. Anyway, this was my first time setting foot at the largest state of U. S. Finally, I'm here. It feels new and fresh to me. All the soreness I felt during this long journey, paid off by getting here.

Actually, thank goodness Davis got another wrong information about the flight. The flight duration from Detroit to Anchorage is about nine hours, that was true. But it was not a nonstop flight, fortunately it's a one stop flight where we transited in Minneapolis. I'm glad that I got enough time for stretched and peed comfortably in a real restroom before the next five hours flight.

Waiting for the luggage at the conveyor belt is one thing that I hate after we arrived at the airport. We need to wait and really widened our eyes to watch on that carousel, so we won't missed ours. If we missed, much longer time will be wasted. For now, I'm waiting for a large white and two another large black luggage. The white one is the easiest to find, but not so easy for the other two. Although not that long, but I can see that Davis is just as bored as I am right now.

Fifteen minutes later, finally we found the luggage. We put them on the trolley and heading to the arrival gate. The view outside the building is so amazing. How lucky we are to be got here before it got dark. A small smile plays on my lips, I love this place. I have to thank to Davis later.

"Wait here, D. I'll get the car." Davis said as he stopped the trolley and parked it next to me. I nodded in silence response. I don't mind for waiting with these beautiful scenes in front of me. How lucky and happy the people who live here are. I can't believe that now I'm the one of those happy people.

I push the luggage cart next to the waiting chair which has four seats. One of them was fill by the little girl, maybe she's around nine years old or something, and I think she's waiting for her mom or dad who was in the restroom. I flashed a kindest smile before sitting next to her so she wouldn't be afraid of me. She smiled back. Well, my smile worked. I pull the zipper of my backpack, searching for the grey beanie inside. Gotcha! I took off my ponytail to let it down naturally and put the beanie on. Ah, it's warmer now.

"Delilah!" A booming voice calling up my name woke me up. Oh, did I fall asleep? How long has it been since Davis left me to get the car? Seems like long enough for me to fall asleep. I squinted to find where he is. Apparently, he was sitting behind the steer-wheel of a grey SUV. I immediately stood up and pushed the trolley towards him. "Really? You were sleeping? What a sleepyhead! What if there was a bad guy stealing the luggage?!" Davis chatted as he got out of the car.

"Oh yeah?! So, you left me here for a very long time and care about the luggage only? What about me?! What if the bad guy kidnapped me?! I thought you left me on purpose, though." I replied annoyed.

He snorted. "Kidnapped you?! What a loss!" Sometimes he could be so annoying brother.

I punched him in the arm although I know that he wouldn't feel anything due to his muscular arm, "Shut the fuck up! Just open the trunk!" He then giggled and walked to the trunk to open it.

I check my phone. Only to make sure that there are no messages nor missed calls from Ryan. Oh, damn it! What is wrong with me?! Forget him, D! I put the phone back to my backpack and leave them on the back seat so that I would not take the double check on it. I jump into the passenger seat before Davis get in.

"Are you ready for the next five hours drive, princess?" This brown-haired guy said as he got into the car.

"Wait what??!" I asked in surprised. "You're kidding, right?"
