30- Something's not right about her.

Rhiannon Tate 

Today me and Vinnie were flying home to visit family. It had been a while since we had gone home, and Reggie was dying for us to meet his girlfriend.

"It's so early" Vinnie said as he stretched when the alarm went off. All I wanted to do was stay in bed. "I know" I said. I looked at the time on my phone. it was 7am. We had to be at the airport at 8:30, and it takes a hot minute to get there in LA traffic. I got out of bed, immediately putting my hair in a messy bun and brushing my teeth. I threw on some mascara and put the tube back in my make-up bag. 

Me and Vinnie's suitcases were by the door and ready for us to leave at any second. I showed the makeup bag i had just filled up into a small opening i had made on the top of my carry-on. Vinnie was still in the bathroom getting ready when i was doing all of this. I decided to make up the bed and tidy up our room so it wouldn't look like a disaster when we got back next week. I was so excited to go back home and see everybody but something inside of me had a weird feeling. 

"You almost ready babe?" I knocked on the bathroom door, and spoke quietly. "Yeah, give me one second." He said. I did like he said and made sure we had all of the things we would need once we got the airport. I checked my purse for any stray bobby pins that might set off the scanners in security, but i couldn't find any. It was my lucky day. 

The bathroom door opened not too long after, and Vinnie walked out. We were both in very casual outfits, and looked like we were homeless probably. We grabbed out bags and put them in Vinnie's car so he could drive us to the airport. The whole ride there, Vinnie complained of being starving so we stopped at the closed McDonald's and got him breakfast, ok, i won't fool you i got some too, but i wasn't the one complaining. After we got the breakfast we finished our drive there, battling LA traffic the whole way there. 

After parking in the outdoor lot, we made our way inside the airport walking up to the kiosk to check our bags and get our boarding passes. We paid the fee's for our checked bags and the agent at the kiosk definitely had the hots for Vinnie. I mean who doesn't. It's kinda hard not too. "We're gate D45." i said. "ugh that's a hike. we better get going."  Vinnie said, reaching for my hand as we walked side by side through the airport. "Are you excited to see your family?" I asked, when we finally got our gate and took a seat. "yeah, i'm excited to see this mystery woman Reggie has. Apparently he thinks she's hung the moon." He said. "Exactly. What was her name again?" I asked. "i don't think he ever said." He said. "Hmm. He just normally always calls to tell about his crushes and he never said anything about this one. It's all just a little suspicious to me." I said. "You know what? You're right. My mom said this'll be the first time she's met her also." Vinnie said. I rolled my eyes. 

"Now boarding all zones." The gate agent said, signaling for us to go board the plane now. We picked up our things and made our way to the stand near the jetway. Vinnie motioned his hand for me to go in front of him, so i did, him looking me up and down as i walked. "Quit." I mumbled. He poked his lips out and made a kiss noise as the gate agent scanned the barcode on my boarding pass and printing my seat ticket, handing it to me and wishing me safe travels. "Thank you" i said with a smile. I moved to the entry way of the jetway so i could wait for vinnie. He wasn't too much longer, we walked hand in hand down the jetway and into the plane. 

We walked down the aisle of the plane until we found our seats. Vinnie put our bags in the overhead bins and then sat down in the aisle seat next to me. He placed his hand on my thigh and kissed me. I smiled as I pulled my airpods out of my purse and put them into my ears. I hit shuffle on my music and let the first song start playing. 

I could feel Vinnie looking at me, so i glanced over. "What is it?" I asked. "I love you" he stated with a blank expression on his face. "Where did that come from?" I asked. "I just really love you, and I don't deserve you, but i love that you love me for who i am." He said. "Of course i do." i said. "I love you too." I added. He didn't give much expression after i said that, almost like he had seen a ghost. I leaned over, and placed my head on his shoulder. "I'm going to sleep here, is that okay?" I asked. " Of course it is." He said. He brought his hand that was on my thigh, to the side of my face, pushing my hair out of the way and brushing his thumb against my cheek. I kissed the inside of his hand. My eyes started to close and next thing i knew i was asleep.
