Shadow Manor (Ereri/Riren)

Chapter Five

Once I reached the security line with stick-up-his-butt Louis, he stopped abruptly. This caused me to bump into him, making him grumble something under his breath (I really don't want to know what he said).

After waiting for what seemed like hours, we finally made it through the line. But not without some minor inconveniences.

About 10 minutes in, a woman bumped into me, which caused me to bump into Louis who then bumped into the man in front of him. Everything would have been fine if Louis hadn't accidentally placed his hand on the other guy's...... family jewels. Safe to say, Louis came out of security with a black eye, and I came out with a phone number.

Turns out the bump from the woman was intentional. She wanted my number.

Louis did not appreciate this.

Fifteen minutes later, me and Louis quickly got onto the plane.

When Louis began walking, I was confused why he was going past 3rd class seating.

"Hey Louis? Are we sitting in second class?" I asked while maneuvering around people trying to put their luggage into the compartments above them.

"No. And my name isn't pronounced how you Americans say it, it's pronounced 'Loo-ee'." He scoffed, while walking past the second-class seating.

He must really do have a stick up his ass.

"Damn, sorry Loo-ee." I, too, scoffed out while following the grumpy man.

Ignoring me, he continued to walk until he found a row and stopped while proceeding to turn around and stare at me. Now noticing that he wanted me to sit down first, I quickly stuffed my suitcase into the compartment above my head and sat down next to the window. He soon followed into the seat next to mine.

After settling in, I started to take in my surroundings.

"Louis are we in first class!?" I screamed-whispered to the man next to me.

"Yes sir, now can you refrain from talking to me for the next, hm, eleven or so hours?" Louis said while raising an eyebrow in a daring manner. When he realized I wouldn't give him an answer, he took a newspaper from seemingly out of nowhere and began reading it.

Looking at him in disbelief, I then turned around and stared out the window.

First class? I'm so adding this to my mental list of accomplishments.

After thirty minutes or so of me staring out the window, a woman with a name tag that said "Lindsay" and "Flight Attendant" came and asked what we wanted to drink.

Louis automatically answered with "Champagne" while I sat there staring dumbly at the woman and man beside me.

"Sir you can get whatever you like." Louis said while shaking his head in a disappointing manner.

"I can?"

"Yes, you can."

"I really really can?"

"Yes. I've said yes three times already." Louis said with a twitch of his eyebrow.

Turning to the lady, I was just about bursting with excitement.

"Apple juice, please!"

Silence.

"Coming right up, hun." The flight attendant said with a wink.

Hearing a groan come from the man beside me, I smile in triumph and wait for the nice lady to come back with my apple juice.
