Airport Love

this is def gonna be super short. all of y'all simping for airport boys but where the girls at? hmu pls <3

"flight 307 to Rome, Italy has been delayed." the flight attendant spoke over the PA system. I sighed, adjusting myself in the very cramped seat. I was going to Italy, alone. college had finally finished for the year so the next couple months were mine. I watched people with their kids walk around for hours, trying to pass the time. this was the 3rd time my flight was moved. 

I put my phone down, just listening to the music on my phone --- specifically "all the girls you loved before" 

a woman sat by herself alone just a couple seats away from me. the gate was packed with families and business men, she found a spot away from the crowds just like me. she had a short platinum wolf cut with gray headphones. she had on a dark green sweatshirt with extremely ripped jeans. it made my face turn read. I couldn't tell if I was crushing or just admiring how much effort she put in for a flight.

I never understood the whole "airport crush" thing, I mean you only see each other once so why fall in love? I guess I was figuring out all the popularity behind it... these people are gorgeous

I texted my best friend right away and filled her in on everything. although shes probably out to lunch with her boyfriend or something. 

"LISTEN YOU NEED TO ANSWER RIGHT NOW. THERE'S A CUTE AIRPORT GIRL HERE AND IM FREAKING OUT."

"well, ask for her number"

"NO SHES TOO PRETTY FOR THAT"

"girl literally stfu youre beautiful. go ask her out"

I huffed and tried my hardest to build up the courage to talk to her. she was focused on her phone so I took it as my chance to go over there and say hello. I took my small bag and carry-on and awkwardly shuffled over to her.

"hey uh, is this seat taken?" I spoke up, trying not to sound like a dork.

"no you can sit if you'd like. I would enjoy some company." she smiled, making my face even more red. I nodded and sat down next to her, fidgeting with my hands.

"soooo, what's your name?" I asked, trying to break the silence between us.

"jessie, you?"

"sam" I shook her hand

they're so soft...

in that moment I knew this was a big mistake. somehow I ended up picturing my whole future with her in the blink of an eye. I couldn't even fathom what was going on.

"how old are you?" she asks me, my heart in my throat. I dont understand why im getting so flustered. 

"im 19, ill be 20 in a couple months. you?"

"same. its so dumb the flight is getting moved" she crossed her arms and put one leg over the other. I nodded and I just couldn't get my eyes off of her lips. 

stay focused sam...

"so what are you going to Rome for?"

I was caught off guard by her question that my mind went blank. I probably looked so dumb. "hm? oh my semester ended and im going on a trip before summer ends." 

"thats very nice"

"how about you?"

"im meeting some family. are you going anywhere specific? I would love to show you around sometime"

SHE ASKED ME ON A FUCKING DATE. or am I delusional? eh it didn't matter because to me this is a win. I have a hotel reservation but I could always cancel.

"that would be amazing" I smiled, highly anticipating our trip.

the ending isnt my fav but I love this. sorry its super short!! I have a good idea for the next one
