I HATE YOU
::  xxiv. | home sweet home




It was an hour before Ashely's flight began bordering. She sat at the airport with a book in hand, reading each page intently. She was so wrapped up in the words that her reaction to some hot drink spilling on her lap was delayed a bit. She soon looked up and there was a guy standing in front of her, a bit embarrassed.

"I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention."

He continued to ramble on and she stood up, facing him.

She lightly chuckled, "It's fine, really." She walked around him, "I'm just going to go clean up."

He quickly turned to her, "I can watch your things for you?"

On her way to the bathroom she gave him a thumbs up, not even looking back. The thought did cross her mind about if he was going to rob her or not, but he seemed like a genuine person and there are other people surrounding the area, so that thought quickly left her mind.

Ashely spent a good ten minutes getting the stain out her shirt and pants. Water and soap can only do so much, but very little in this case. Ashely tossed the paper towel in the trash before leaving the bathroom and returning back to her things.

As she approached her seat, there sat the guy next to her things. She sighed as she sat down. She passed him a glance.

"Thanks."

He smiled, "No problem, im July by the way."

"Ashely." She stuck out her hand for him to shake.

He took it, "So what's in North Carolina?" He gestured towards the flight.

Ashely simply shrugged, "Family, friends. You?"
