I wake up to my dad tapping my on my shoulder,
"Wake up we're here." I open my eyes seeing the busyness of the airport, I shrug and scoot out the taxi holding on to my suitcase and carry on.

My dad and I walk to the check in line and wait to be checked in. After about 10 minutes of waiting we go to the gate to wait. By the time we got here the time was 5:40 am, "Dad im going to go walk around and entertain myself ok?" i told him as i give him my passport and ticket.

I start walking in a random direction for around 5 mins. I spotted a Starbucks, I think i deserve a drink.
"Hi what can i get you this morning?" The barista greeted me, "Hi can i get a venti brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk and vanilla sweet cream cold foam." She nods and types in my order. "Ayo Gelo what Zo and yo uglass want from the bucks?" I hear an unfamiliar accent in the distance, I just disregard it and paid for my drink.

"Thanks so much," I say to the barista, as i turn around i bump into a very lanky person, I look up to see their face... What the fuck this nigga tall as shit for god damn,
"Oh shit my bad miss." The guy said with a smirk, "You lucky i aint have my drink in my hand cus it would've got real wicked if i spilt that hoe" I joked. He chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, "So i cant get yo nam-" "Ari!" The other barista called out my name for my drink. I looked at him smiled and went to get my drink.

"Thats my name sir, whats yours?" I looked up to him. Its either mf is real tall or im real short..Gotta be both,

"Melo" He said as he walked to the cash to order his stuff. My phone buzzed. It was from my dad,

Father Bear:
Come back our flight is early im waiting in line for you
Me:
Okay coming

"You not from here huh?" I asked as i seem him admiring the colourful Canadian money in his hand,

"Oh hell naw im from LA, its cold as shit in this bitch, i cant wait to get back" He laughed while putting the money in his pocket. Lmao its only -2 C° but Cali?? Omg I wonder where...im not bout to ask cus thats weird asf

Melo gets his 3 drinks from the other barista, "My flight is early, I guess I'll see you whenever, if ever." I said tilting my head to one side.

"Aight den... See you...When ever" He responded looking me up and down smiling. I blush and walk back to where my dad was waiting, I could feel him watching me. Imagine if i tripped. I chuckled to myself.

After 6 mins of walking back i see my dad waving to me in the line. I walked up to him and stood beside him and waited until we board.

As my dad and i sit in our seats i look out the window watching the workers load up the plane with suitcases.

I sip my drink, put my phone on airplane mode and play my music on shuffle.

I wake up to the plane bumping on the runway, I look out the window and I see that we're on the runway. That was a rather quick flight. I gather my phone my cup and my carry on from the shelf.

I walk out into that tunnel thing that takes you from the plane to the airport and face time my best friend Aaliyah.

"Hi Liyah!" I smiled into the phone, "Hey girl whats goin on did you just land?" She asked,

"Yeah and im not even outside yet but its hot as fuck, im wearing a whole jacket too" i exclaimed
"Haha you're fucked styll" she laughed.

"Fam so before i boarded right like 15 mins before i went to starbucks right, and I ordered my drink and I turn around and next thing you know i turned around and bumped into this suuuuper cute lightskin guy his name was like Melo or something" I chatted as i walked behind my dad through the airport to get our bags.
