Window Seat

2

Zac arrived to the airport. He was sitting down. About 15 minutes later, they made an announcement that the flight was delayed. Zac didn't really care as long as he got out of the house.

Fatima and Ayla were in McDonald's.

"I never had this before" Ayla said

"McDonald's?"

"Yes, I see the t.v."

"Try it"

she tried her burger. "I like it."

"What do you eat when you're with mommy?"

"Hotdogs. Mommy doesn't like cooking"

"Well, we're going to eat lots of food at my house. I don't really like hotdogs, but I'll buy them if that's what you want."

"I hate them. I want to try chicken."

"You never had chicken?"

"No"

"I'll get you chicken."

They walked to their terminal and sat down. "I'm sleepy"

"I have a blanket in my bag."

Fatima looked around and she realized that she never grabbed her carryon bag from off of the plane. She went to the desk to ask, but they said that they don't have any baggage. Fatima was trying not to trip out, but her laptop was in there along with other personal items.

"I was hoping to see you. Here" Zac said, handing her the bag.

"Thank you, I didn't even realize that I was missing it until just now."

"You're welcome, didn't realize I grabbed it either until I made it to my destination."

"You came back to give me this?"

"No, I actually didn't expect to see you. I wasn't going to leave your things here because they'd probably go through it. I had a homeboy that works at the Atlanta airport, so I was going to leave it there. I'm flying home though."

"Already?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Tima has a boyfriend" Ayla sung

"Ayla, stop it." Fatima said

"Sorry" Ayla made a sad face.

"See? Look at what you did. Now you have to buy her a toy for making her upset" Zac said

"Yayy" Ayla smiled

"You just got her started."

Flight #1245 will be boarding in approximately 5 minutes. "Hope we aren't fighting over a window seat this time."

They boarded the flight. She sat Ayla down in the seat. "I want to sit by the nice man"

"You can't do that. Planes are like school, we have assigned seats."

"Okay"

"You like him?"

"You do"

"Huh?"

"You like him"

"No, I don't know him"

After the flight, Zac headed home. He called his friend, Tony and told him everything that happened.

"As bad as I hate the situation, I feel like it's eye opening. You're in a season of healing and protecting your peace. They aren't allowed in this season of your life." Tony said

"I get that. I actually wanted them to be different when I came, but I don't think that I was there for that reason. A lady on the plane argued with me about a window seat."
