Metamorphasis

Chapter 13 - The Ride

The plane had taken off from the Cali airport with Lilly in a cabin for two.

Lilly's POV

A few minutes into the flight I felt myself begin to tremble and cry. I curled myself up with the provided covers as the memory of Adam with that girl resurfaced. "Here have some gin and juice it always helps me when I feel like sh*t." A voice said from besides me and I yelped in surprise. "Didn't mean to scare ya." The guy besides me said stepping back.

I growled then his scent hit me, "You're a wolf?" I asked him confused. 'I didn't smell him when I sat down.' I thought remembering just a few minutes back. "Yeah, well so are you. Do you want some?" He repeated offering me a bottle. "I'm 15." I said as if to make him understand that I wasn't allowed alcohol. "I'm 17 and I'm drinking. Just take a sip it won't kill you and you'll relax for awhile." He said his arm still holding the bottle out.

I shrugged and took it he encouraged me to take a sip. Slowly I held the bottle to my nose and wrinkled it making him laugh. I got pissed off and took a huge gulp of the liquid within. He whooped a little before taking back his bottle and putting it away. "Everything in moderation." His voice was strong and steady. "Who are you?" I asked him and he froze for a second after that.

"I didn't mean to pry." I said and he relaxed. "I know that but its not in my nature to trust strangers." He said his voice steady. "Yet you shared your bottle of gin." I said sarcasticlly and he looked at me with an eyebrow raised. He laughed, "Well I heard you cry and I just know what it feels like to be heartbroken." He said sadly before turning around to face his window. "I'm sorry if I made you remember something you didn't want to." I said facing down to my feet sadly.

"Don't ever do that." He said his voice steady and with just a small hint of anger. "What?" I asked him confused. "Don't ever look anybody down. Stand your ground and look them in the eye." He said his voice laced with anger but he wasn't mad at me I knew that much. "Look I don't mean to come off as an ass but I don't like when girls let themselfs be made to feel inferior to any guy. Girls have the same stance on the playing field as us." He said.

"Why not? All I ever learned was that I had to look down and do what I was told." I said and he scoffed "Yea I learned that too but I never believed a word of it." His voice was cold. "I'm Lilly." I said warmly to him and he looked at me surprised. "What don't look so surprised." I said wiping the dry tears from my eyes. Then silence but after awhile he spoke up again.

"I'm Nathan." He said and I smiled. "Nice to meet you Nathan." My voice was cracking but steady. Then I remembered where id heard that name before. 'Nathan son of Nathaniel Pierce music producer'. His dad worked with some of her favorite artists and bands there music was amazing. Id be star struck but I didn't say anything thinking id only be annoying.

Nathan's POV

I sat there waiting for the girl to burst out in giggles or I don't know something. I was used to every single time I told a girl my name they connect me with my father and start acting stupid. They always tried to suck up to me to get to meet some artist or give them a break with my dad but they quickly realized I wasn't as easy to break as they thought. I wasn't as easily seduced as some others I knew well.

So as I watched her I saw recognition wash over her face and waited for the moment when she jumped over herself to gush over me. Finally I couldn't take the suspense anymore "Don't you know who I am?" I asked her and she nodded. "Well yea I know, so?" She said looking at me surprised "Huh, really and yet your not.." I began and she laughed. "I'm not acting like a complete idiot just to get your attention?" She said giggling softly.

"I've never been the type to act stupidly in front of some celebrity. I honestly think its stupid to get all worked up over someone who either doesn't know you well or doesn't really want to know you at all." She said matter of factly as if I should've already known that. "Besides I didn't wanna be annoying and I thought you'd enjoy privacy. I can't imagine always being tortured by girls as much of a good expirience or am I wrong?" She said.
