Two Clueless Shmucks

part 21

Niko started to walk himself to the entrance of the plane. He didn't want to have to leave Brielle, but she really left him with no other choice. He even called her phone multiple times but no answer. Niko had to go and see Aj, Brielle knew that.

She was probably going to get really mad, but Niko had already explained how important this was to him. He couldn't afford to waste any more time without the shorter man. Brielle was just going to have to suck it up and catch the next flight.

As Niko was verifying his passport, the lady doing it recognised him. "Oh my God, your Niko Omilana!" She smiled at him brightly.

"Uh, yeah hi. Nice to meet you." Niko smiled weakly.

"I've been a fan of you for like ever oh my days! Can I take a picture with you? My friends won't believe it!"

"Uh, you know I'd love to but I'm actually in a hurry right now. So if I could get my passport back? But, you know what? I'll mention your name in my next video, yeah? What's your name?" Niko just wanted the woman off her back as soon as possible.

"That's okay! My name's Riley." She smiled and handed back his passport.

"Okay, Riley, nice to meet you" Just as Niko was about to walk off, heavy breathing and running was heard from right behind him.

"I'm here! Here..!" Brielle ran, out of breath.

"Where were you?!" Niko turned around

"I-"

"Never mind, hurry up and get checked in, we need to go now!" Niko said and let Brielle sign in her passport. She was here now, so at least Niko wouldn't have to deal with another fight.

Brielle got her passport checked and the two walked into the terminal, almost missing their flight.

Once they had put their bags away and sat down comfortably, Niko finally got the chance to ask questions.

"Where the hell were you?" He asked, annoyed.

"I'm sorry I was so late!" Brielle put on a frown.

"So, I went to the bathroom to fix my eyeliner and then I started my period. I freaked out because I didn't have any tampons and the toilet I was at had none either." Brielle started with what honestly sounded like a good excuse so far.

"So I had to run to the nearest store in the airport and buy some tampons. They didn't have any left in the size I needed so I had to make due with smaller ones and pads. I bought the stuff, lucky there was no line but the toilet in the shop was out of order. Which meant I had to run all the way to another shop just to change my pad and run back to you."

It was a very sound reason, in Niko's opinion. Brielle couldn't control her body function so he decided to spare her from a lecture, instead putting an arm around her.

Niko sighed out and said "That's okay. At least you're here. Are you okay now?" Niko realised how annoyingly stressful that situation probably was.

"I'm better now that I'm with you." Brielle smiled.

Niko kissed her head.

"Do you..." Brielle hesitated "do you really want to date Aj?"

Niko laughed. "No, of course not, silly. I was just stressed. I'm sorry I said that." Niko realised he easily actually a pretty decent liar.

"I'm sorry I was being stubborn." Brielle apologised

"I'm sorry I shouted at you."

"So are we okay now?"
