O'CONNELL'S LOVER

Twenty five

They leave the bathroom a few moments later, their clothes a bit disheveled and their faces flushed. They were both panting slightly, still reeling from the intensity of their encounter.

Maya was still asleep, completely unaware of what had just taken place in the bathroom. Billie and Lima sat back down in their seats, trying to regain their composure.

Billie's pov

"I..umm." I was nervous like so nervous I'd jump off this plane. I mean- we just made out! After how many years?

I stay quiet and just gaze at her. She wasn't paying attention at all. She was staring out the window with a blank look. The fuck? Was my kissing not good enough?!

I shook it off and got on my phone. I took a photo of her and chucked slightly

Time skip:

I hear maya mumbling then I get jumped on. Waking me from my sleep. I thought it would be heavy since it was probably maya who jumped on me but it felt super light. So when I opened my eyes it was Lima.

She was staring down at me smiling and finneas next to her giggling mischievously.

"Rise and shine," Lima said with a playful grin, her voice a cheerful echo in the early morning stillness.

Finneas, standing beside her, tried to stifle his giggles but couldn't help the cheeky smile that spread across his face.

I groaned, still half asleep but trying to summon the energy to sit up. "What are you doing?" I mumbled, my voice still heavy with sleep.

As my half-asleep mind registered Lima's presence above me, my arms automatically snaked around her waist, pulling her closer without a thought. It was a habit, a reflex from our past, and my body remembered it all too well.

Lima chuckled, the sound reverberating through her chest, and shifted her weight so she was comfortably settled in my embrace.

"Morning, sleepyhead," she teased, her fingers idly playing with strands of my messy hair.

Meanwhile, Maya and Finneas were watching the scene unfolding in front of them with wide grins on their faces, clearly amused by the display of affection. Maya looked like a cat that had just gotten the cream, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Finneas was trying to control his laughter, but it was a losing battle.

"Okay, lovebirds, we're landing," Maya chimed in, her voice filled with playful mockery. "You might want to get your stuff."

Lima chuckled and gently pried herself away from my arms. I sighed and sat up, rubbing the remnants of sleep from my eyes.

Finneas was still snickering to himself, thoroughly enjoying the scene. I shot him a withering glance, but it only made him smile wider.

"You guys are so whipped," he chuckled.

Lima laughed and shot back with a wink, "Yeah, and you're just jealous."

Meanwhile, Maya was looking out the window, her excitement building as the city of Montreal came into view.

"Oh look, the city of love," Finneas said, rolling his eyes exaggeratedly. "Now you two don't go getting lost in your own little love bubble. We need you on this tour."

I rolled my eyes at Finneas but couldn't help the soft smile that tugged at the corners of my mouth. Lima laughed and punched him lightly on the arm.

"Don't worry, bro. We'll be on our best behavior," she said, though there was a twinkle in her eye that suggested otherwise.

"Uh huh, I bet you will," Finneas said, skepticism evident in his tone.

Maya swatted at him with a rolled-up magazine. "Stop being such a buzzkill. Let them be."

Finneas shrugged, holding up his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll lay off. But just promise you won't get too distracted, okay? We got work to do."

"Yeah, yeah, we'll be focused when we need to be," Lima said, waving him off. "Now let us enjoy this moment, will ya? We're in Montreal, remember?"

"How can I forget? With you two getting all flirty, it's kind of hard to miss the city," Finneas joked.

Meanwhile, Maya was still peering out the window, a dreamy look on her face. "Oh my god, look at that view."
