Nothing to lose

Plane Ride

I had drifted off into a peaceful sleep. I had this weird dream about being chased by the guys who were unpacking the car,and having to travel somewhere else. Weird,probably from all the comotion earlier. I awoke with dreary eyes. "45 Minutes until arrival time,if you desire anything our wonderful flight attendants will assist you. Thank you for flying with Florida Airlines". The loud speaker went off.
"Excuse me sir,would b, 3 sugars and you to go please." I said smiling. She chuckled. "Alright,anything else?" She asked. Then I thought about all the money I needed to save and thought I should take the chance for free food. I got serious. "Yes,I would also like some scrambled cheese eggs,turkey bacon,three mini strawberry pancakes,sausage links,some buttered grits, a side cup of OJ and a bottle of Aunt Jemima's brown syrup please" She laughed while rapidly writing my order down on her notepad. "Anything else? " she asked. "No that'll be all,but make sure you bring that smile back here." I said to her. "Alright" she said walking away smiling. I know my ex-lover was a boy and all,but why not experiment a little? Won't do anyone any harm. I sat staring out the window for a good ten minutes,wondering what was waiting for me later on in the day. Whatever it is,I'm hoping it didn't consist of running,hiding,shooting,killing,fighting or anything else in that nature. I was staring into my reflection in the window. Chase ...Chase Anthony...Chase Anthony Morgan . That's who I am.Thats who I've always been. That's who I'll always be. No-one or no-thing will ever change that. I started questioning who I was. I had escaped killers,dodged bullets,stole tickets and lost my family because of a boy. That surprises me. I am who I am and that's who I'll always be,no matter what. "Scrambled cheese eggs,turkey bacon,three mini strawberry pancakes,sausage links,some buttered grits, a side cup of OJ and a bottle of Aunt Jemima's brown syrup?" Shylah repeated to me while she was placing my food down on a tray. Everyone around me looked at me as if I were crazy because of all the food. I admit it was a lot of food,but I had a long morning,noone to fall back on and limited amount of money for food,might as well eat. She left me my food and drinks and started to walk away. "Excuse me!" I said to her. "Yes? " she said turning back around. "You forgot that smile." I told her. "Tell you what" she said pulling out her notepad again. "You hit me up sometime later because I'm at work,we can meet up and I'll show you that smile you ordered. Deal?" She said giving me a note paper with her number on it. "Alright" I said accepting the paper. She walked away. Then I thought about it,I don't even have a phone. Well,I have one but it has no minutes left . It resets tomorrow though. Anyway I sat there infront of piles of food. My new admirer gave me the hook up,I wasn't complaining. I started eating rapidly. It was a lot,but hell if I wasn't going to finish. Twelve minutes into the meal, my plate was clean,and cups were empty. I was stuffed. It should last me more than half the day. Shylah came back to collect my dishes. "Had a long morning? " she asked collecting my dishes. "You don't even know the half of it" I told her. She smiled and walked away. "Five minutes arrival time. Please remain seated and Thank You for flying with Florida Airlines.". Five minutes flew quickly. I watched out the window as we got closer to the ground. We finally landed. I stepped out,the weather was ridiculously cold. I'm from Florida,cold isn't in my vocabulary. On top of that I had on shorts and sandals. I was freezing. Bright side of it was that I hadn't brought any of my Florida clothes. They would've held me back,and wouldn't have been helpful. Across the street was a hotel . Yesss I thought to myself. I walked over there, and simply checked in. Paid,and went to my room. I slept the day away. Not a care in the world. ..for now.
