****************
After saying countless goodbyes to the crew and shedding more tears of joy and happiness Lucas drove Max and him to the airport. Now they both are in the plane, Lucas sitting in one of the comfortable first class seats, a bottle of champagne and two glasses next to him on the table. Lucas sips a little of the champagne, he likes the surprisingly but sparkling taste that it gives, it is also a sweet taste, not bitter to the tongue.
"Mister Sinclair we are landing in about an hour." The young man says to him when he makes his way through the door.
"Thank you, and please just Lucas. Mister Sinclair is my father." Lucas says, putting his glass down on the table, letting the side of his ankle lean on his knee while he sits back in the chair.
"Okay Lucas. Can I just say man I love you! Wait...not like that I just meant that you are a huge inspiration even at our school and you rock!" The man mentions, giving Lucas a thumbs up.
Lucas smiles. "Thank you..."
"Sean." He answers.
"Thank you Sean, I appreciate that." Lucas smiles.
"Of course! Do you all need anything else? Anything for the misses?" Sean questions while looking around.
"She's in the bathroom, and no thank you Sean, thanks for checking in." Lucas responds.
"Yeah of course! I'll just be..in there...let me know if you need anything." The man says while pointing behind him at the door. "Oh and if anyone ask I did not give you any champagne, you know since you are not technically allowed to drink any."
Lucas laughs. "Noted."
Sean smiles, waving one last time at Lucas before going back out of the room.
"He's totally fanboying over you." Max mentions with a smile, her shoulder leaned on the wall while she looks at Lucas.
Lucas turns around to look at her. "Fanboying?"
Max chuckles, making her way to Lucas and going to sit on his lap, letting her legs draped across his thighs, crossing her legs while her arm rest on the top of the chair. "Fanboying, getting excited to see you, because you are a role model to him."
Lucas lets his hand rest on the small of Max's back, resting particularly on her hip while he slowly strokes her hip with his thumb. "I don't know about that." He says, going to pour a half glass of champagne in Max's glass, going to hand it to her. "So..." he says while grabbing his glass and turning to Max. "...what should we toast too?"
"To us of course and..." Max says while thinking about the question, a smile forming on her face. "...to new jobs." She says before clanking her glass against Lucas, going to slowly put the glass against her lips and letting the champagne go down her throat, her eyes still trained on Lucas.
"You got a job opportunity? Tell me what is it?" Lucas questions excitedly.
Max smiles, bringing her glass away from her mouth. "Nancy gave me a job at the post, a partnership."
"Holy shit Max that's amazing!" Lucas smiles widely.
"Yeah, yeah it is." Max smiles. "She says when we get back from our honeymoon she'll show me the ropes and my own desk! I get my own freaking desk!"
Lucas laughs, loving how excited she is getting and the new opportunity she has. "I'm proud of you Max, you deserve it and you will do well."
"So will you." Max says while poking his chest. "Do you get your own desk?"
