We race all the way inside and people are staring at us. But we don't care and we keep having fun anyways. I love doing crazy things in public with him. We race all the way there and make it with only five minutes left till the plane takes off. We make it just in time. Barely.
We go through security and it always takes forever. I hope they still let us on the plane. We give them our suitcases and rush to where you get on the plane at.
"I told you I am faster," I say.
"Nah. Suitcase was too heavy remember."
"Sure," I say, rolling my eyes.
"Gosh you're so damn cute when you're mad."
"I'm not mad."
"Yes you are. I can see it in your eyes."
"No you're just mad because I am faster than you."
"Nope," He says.
We finally make it on the plane and get our seats. We sit down and I just lay my head on his shoulder. "I'm tired," I say.
"You are tired and you're the one who slept in? You really aren't a morning person aren't you."
"Yep. Definitely not."
He puts his hand on my thigh and pulls me closer to him. "Crap! Julie?"
"Yes Sebastian?"
"I have to answer this phone call real quick, is that okay?"
"Uh yeah that's fine," I say annoyed.
He answers the phone and takes it off speaker. He whispers and I try to listen to what he is saying and the person on the phone. It sounds like a girl. It was definitely a girl. Why does this have to happen now? We were supposed to not answer anyone that much at all while on this trip. This trip took everything off my mind from when I kept getting suspicions from him. I tried not to think about it at all, but now it's getting worse. And why is he whispering? Is it because he doesn't want to be too loud on the plane with people around us or? I am so confused. I hear him say that he is busy and he can't hangout till the end of summer because something came up. He said something about his grandpa dying? Where did that come from? He hangs up and turns his phone off and looks at me.
"Hey I am so sorry. That was one of my friends from work, she wanted to hangout but I told her I can't till we get back."
"Oh, that is okay. Uh wait it's a girl? Yeah, she is my cousin actually and we haven't seen each other in a while."
"Oh um okay."
"Is there something wrong?" He asks me.
"No. But you said something about your grandpa dying?"
"Oh, yeah. My grandpa died recently and I never got to say goodbye to him."
"I am so sorry, why didn't you tell me?"
"It's alright. I just forgot to tell you."
"Oh okay."
I ignore it and start to realize something. Wait. Matilda also said that her boyfriend's grandpa had died and he wouldn't be able to see her for awhile, probably not till the end of summer. I can't be overthinking this. I decide to brush it off anyways since I came here to actually have fun with Sebastian, not worry about this.
"Hey, do you wanna read some of the books we brought right now? I have some in my carry bag."
"Yeah, I would love that."
Sebastian pulls out some books and I lay my head on his shoulder again and he starts reading to me. He is so charming and romantic. His voice sounds really calm and he is very gentle. I end up falling asleep on him while he is reading and I feel him move his head against mine. He falls asleep too.
