"Benjamin why didn't you let me know that we'll be in the air for almost 21 hours? That's almost a whole day. My anxiety Benjamin.....I can't! I don't want to go anymore", Miranda whined.
"Miranda, Bali is not around the corner; you know that."
"Bennnn I'm not going to make it that long. I need you to put me to sleep for approximately 20 hours."
"You're joking right.....", he looked concerned that his wife was out of her mind.
"No....I'm serious! You're an Anesthesiologist, you need my weight to do all the calculations? Either that or I'm not going", she folded her arms sitting back against the headboard.
"Goodnight Miranda!", Ben said turning over on his side.
"Benjamin?!"
Ben started snoring.
A few hours later Ben was shaking Miranda for her to get up. "Miranda baby we gotta head to the airport, come on and get ready."
"NOOO I told you I'm not going", she snuggled back under the blankets.
"So you're going to sit here for two weeks and do nothing, while I head to Bali for two weeks doing all types of fun activities......with other people."
Miranda was about to say yes, but when he said doing things with other people she got up. "Changed your mind baby?", Ben asked.
"No I'm just not letting you do things with other people especially if those other people are beautiful island women", she said going to the bathroom.
"Aww you're jealous!!!!", he hugged her from behind.
"Move Benjamin....I'm going straight back to sleep once we're on the flight."
"That's fine I'll be right there when you wake up. Now can I have my morning kiss?"
Miranda turned around pouting. "I don't like you right now....", she rolled her eyes as he pecked her lips and kept kissing her until she kissed back. "I love you", he smiled.
They got ready and headed to the park and fly parking lot and took a shuttle to the airport.
"I forgot how much I hate TSA more than I hate flying long", Miranda said with an attitude as they walked on the plane to first class.
"Miranda just relax, wouldn't you prefer they be thorough?"
"No I would prefer not to feel like a damn criminal Benjamin!", she slightly yelled through her teeth where only he could hear. "And why is it so damn cold on this plane?"
"Miranda are you going to complain about everything this whole flight?", he said as they found their seats.
"I'm on this damn flight for a whole century so yes deal with it", she sat down first by the window and Ben put their carry ons to the side.
"Ma'am would you like anything before we take off? Perhaps a blanket", the flight attendant said.
"Ma'am?!", Miranda said annoyed. "Yes we'll take two please!", Ben said.
"Okay I'll be right back", she smiled happily.
"The hell she calling ma'am!"
"Miranda!"
"What Benjamin?"
"Stop it. Look I know you're scared to be on this flight because of what happened to your friends, but I promise you we're going to be just fine baby. I just need you to relax", he said sitting down holding her hands as she changed her face from mad to sad.
