Ok, so were on the plane now, this is such a weird feeling since I’ve never gone out of Michigan as I said before. “The engine will start in a few minutes” The captain said and my heart suddenly started pounding so fast and hard I thought it would jump out of my chest any minute. The few minutes passed safely and we were in the air. Kate and Tyler were sitting on the two seats in front of me and I was sitting beside a guy who –I’m sure- thought I was some kind of freak after I accidently held his hand so tight when we started moving, but I really needed that for support. I could hear Kate and Tyler laugh at me so hard after they took a picture of me when we first started moving.
The next hour was good. Kate and Tyler apparently got to know each other very well I guess since I could hear them talk and laugh and so the whole time, and I got along well with the guy beside me too after I apologized so much and I think he understood. His name was Samuel and he was Costa Rican going to Paris for work. He was a brunette with glowing green eyes and beautiful white teeth.
Oh yeah- I forgot to tell you about Sean the old judge, he unfortunately missed the plane and will arrive after us in about 6 hours. Anyway he was no big deal! We could survive without him for six hours! I could see the food beginning to come. I just hope it’s something edible in my way I mumbled to myself. “It is, I never hated this planes food!” Samuel said
“I hope I don’t too” I Answered wondering how the hell he heard me.
“Don’t be surprised about me hearing that, we have super-man-quality hearing sense. It’s just in our family from really long ago!”
I laughed hard thinking how my mum would react if anyone told her that, I bet she would start mumbling to herself in very low noises to test if he really could hear her and if he could she would go crazy about it and start telling everyone that she met such a guy!
A minute later the food arrived. It was a variety of fish with some rice, cream and some juice. It smelled Amazing and tasted extremely good too.
We were halfway through now. So I tried to sleep for the next half of the trip and I surprisingly did with all the noise coming from the seats in front of me. I woke up on the captain saying that we were only half an hour away from our destination and unsurprisingly Kate was still awake and listening to music.
“OH YOU WOKE UP” She shouted the way people with headphones do. “Shut up. You’re shouting” I whispered. “WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CANT HEAR YOU” she shouted again. I plugged her headphones out and told her to stop shouting. She did, and then continued listening to music. Tyler was sleeping and Samuel was ordering coffee for both of us. “So what hotel are you staying at?” he asked “I don’t really know, let me ask Kate” I replied. I gave Kate a shake so she could pay attention to me.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT” she started shouting again. Sam started laughing. I plugged her earphones out again an asked her where were staying. “Luxueux Hotel” she shouted just to tease me but this time her voice was a bit lower.
“Luxueus Hotel” I said to Sam rolling my eyes, as if he didn’t hear her.
“Cool I’ll try and go there so we can go explore some places together” he said “If you don’t mind” He added
“Me? Mind? Sure not! I’d love to “I assured him. He gave me a big grin and the captain started talking.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as we start our descent, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath… blah blah blah ...”
“here you’ll need this” Sam said passing me some gum. “No, no thanks I had gum this morning” I said. He laughed and said “Noo you’ll need them now or you’ll have blocked ears for a day or two”. I took one feeling embarrassed of how stupid I was.
At last we arrived after I thought we were going to die. The plane completely stopped and as I see in movies I started clapping (Don’t they do this after we land safely??) and everyone was looking at me as if I was insane so my clapping sound began to decrease gradually and it was about to stop but Samuel started clapping and whistling to support me and then everyone started clapping with us. This trip was dreadful but I got to admit; I did enjoy it.
We started getting off the plane and I fell every few seconds with the high heels I had on and Samuel was behind me helping me every time I was going to fall, and while trying to avoid the embarrassment I said “bye” to the lady standing at the front of the plane and accidently stepped on her bony foot with my heel. I stood there and apologized about 80 times with her assuring me she was alright even though I could see tears in her eyes. People started mumbling about me not hurrying up so I finally decided to stop apologizing and get on with life. After finishing from all the check-ins and the check-outs, I finally got to the main hall wondering where everyone was. I saw someone holding a cardboard square towards their face with Kate, Taylor and my name written on it like this Ema Mkpillow, and I swear, for a minute, I thought it could be my mum standing behind that placard ( my mum had been teaching me how to write my name like this ‘Ema mkpelow’ since I was 7 until my dad once told me how to write it the right way when I became 13!!!) until I was relieved seeing the person was a man. I went and stood beside him waiting for someone to hopefully appear. Samuel came 5 minutes later and we asked the taxi driver if there was place for Samuel with us. “We can fit him if the others are thin” he replied with a sigh at the end.
Eventually Kate and Tyler appeared after about half an hour of waiting which was really worrying because they were always on time. I waved at them and they came. Apparently they had lost Kate’s luggage and they made a big problem with the airport manager who in the end as a ‘please just shut up’ gift gave her a €500 euro coupon for the airports clothes store and said they would send her luggage to our hotel when they find it!
“But 500 euros is just not enough” She moaned. I rolled my eyes thinking how much clothes I could buy with those €500 euros. We got in the taxi and Sam fit with us with us and there was place for another three. The hell was this taxi driver talking about? “If they were thin” I mimicked and I was sure Samuel heard me with this hearing thing he had.
We began moving and he went around showing us some places which we ended up only seeing lights of. It never was a good idea going to a place for the first time at night.but of course ... who ever agreed with me? simply noone!
