Amadrya's Match

Chapter 4

(Willow)

"Wake up, wake up love."

I jolted awake, beads of sweat trickling down my forehead. Jasper looked down at me, worry swimming in his eyes, his hand caressed my cheek and he asked what worried me so, I told him about the dream and he held me as I poured my thoughts, feelings and doubts to him. I started sobbing and he took me into his arms and rubbed my back.

When I stopped, he didn't say anything about what just occurred, he only told me that the taxi was booked and we would spend the day doing whatever. All I did was nod and he lifted my chin motioning to kiss me.

I held no restraint toward his action and he leaned his face down and pressed his lips on mine. I could feel my cheeks blush scarlet as I responded. It felt like a million electrical wires coursing through my body, I reached up to his neck and wrapped my arms around his neck, he pulled away and pulled me into a tight embrace. Soon after, we held each other until we fell asleep.

Sweet dreamless sleep.

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed, the first thought that crossed my mind was if last night was all a dream, you'd think that, however Jasper was sitting across from me with our rucksacks. He told me to put some comfy clothing on so that we could go to the airport. When I got ready and checked I had everything with me, we got into the taxi and drove to the airport.

We got into the airport and waited in line to put our luggage onto the plane, during our wait we talked about Greece and what we should do when we get there, my face had a nonstop smile painted on it because I was with my best friend, going on a permanent holiday, what more could I ask for?

When we finally left our luggage in the safety of the plane, we went through a dank hallway to get to security, we scanned our passports and boarding passes and went through to submit our hand luggage to be scanned. It wasn't very difficult to go through, luckily none of us got caught in the body x-ray so it went relatively quick. We filled up our water bottles, mainly because we had to empty them before we entered the security checking and went through to a huge lounge area. A billboard like screen showed times of flights and our one was on the other side showing the next day. Jasper scanned around to find the airport hotel where he had booked and we followed the yellow signs showing the way. We signed in through a desk with a reservation and a kind woman led us to our room, she left us with the key and Jasper slipped the key in the hole.

He opened the door to the room and I could clearly see why it is called a suite. There was a huge window showing the countryside on the other side from the airport, a double bed, an elegant bathroom with a huge marble shower and apologize as well as a living room, a bit fancy for an airport hotel/motel if you ask me but I would be stupid to complain. I explained to Jasper I would gladly sleep on the sofa and he could have the bed, but he wouldn't hear any of it, just shaking his head while I argued. Defeated, I walked to the bed and got comfortable as Jasper yelled out from the door asking what I wanted to order for dinner.

He came back with spaghetti bolognese for me and a sandwich for himself; he passed me the takeaway box and I gladly ate it as he sneakily watched me. He grinned as I beckoned him over, he laughed as he wiped some sauce off my chin. I giggled when he licked off the sauce from his own thumb. He smiled and rubbed my cheek and pressed his lips on my forehead.

When we finished eating our meals, he turned on the television sitting across the room from us, mounted on the wall and clicked some random movie that I've never heard of and became engrossed with the moving pictures. Not interested, I stared at him; his eyes were a bright electric blue with coal black pupils and his cheeks a luscious pink, I snuggled close to him and he turned the television off rendering the room pitch black. I held my breath as I tried to anticipate what he would do next.
