After hours

Chapter 35

Alyssa's POV

This plane ride is soooo long. I want to be in Greece already.

There's still fifteen more hours to go.

I'll admit I love this jet. It's not really your average jet. Sure it has two seats in the front, but then there's a hallway leading to a bed room.

We have spent most of the fifteen hours in there.

"I just checked with the captain. Only fourteen hours and thirty minutes left." He tells me coming back into the bedroom.

"I'm tired. I need to sleep." I yawn.

He laughs and gets back under the blankets with me.

I'm almost asleep. So close. When the jet phone starts to ring.

"Hello?" I say groggily.

"Alyssa?"

"Yeah?"

"Hey this is Chris. I was just calling to let you know that Abbey is in labor." I spring out of bed.

"What!? No! She's not supposed to have the baby until I'm back!"

"Well, she's in labor. I have to go. I'll text you when you land."

No! My niece or nephew is being born and I'm not there! I've been there for all three of my other sisters kids!

This sucks!

"What is it?" Justin asks.

"Abbey's having her baby." I pout.

"I thought she wasn't due until we got back?"

"Well, babies come early I guess." I get back into bed and snuggle up next to Justin.

I try to fall back asleep but it's difficult knowing I won't be there for my niece or nephews first two weeks of life.

"WE'RE HERE!" I squeal running down the stairs of the jet.

I hear Justin's laughter behind me.

"Don't laugh at me! This is so exciting!"

"Come on, let's go to the house."

"THE HOUSE!?" My eyes go wide.

"Did I not tell you? I have a vacation house here. I've only used it once though."

I look out the window at the scenery on the way to the house. Justin laughs and wraps his arm around my waist.

"I love you," I tell him.

"I love you too." The car comes to a stop.

We are in the driveway of a huge house. I mean huge. Bigger than ours at home.

My eyes go wide. Wider than before.

"I can't believe you own this!" I step out of the car.

"We own it." He says, snaking his arm around my waist.

I laugh and he gives me a tour. It's huge. Words can't describe how amazing it is. The house it self is sitting on the side of a mountain, so it over looks the city.

When we reach the pool I decide to re recreate the first time we went swimming at our house.

The water feels great, like washing off thirty hours of plane.

I feel the water splash behind me, and a big pair of arms pick me up from under neath and throw me.

"Hey!" I yell at him.
