FEAR ▷ Denis Stoff

3 days later

On Wednesday, I woke at four. The flight was at seven. We weren't in that much of a hurry since we had 3 hours to be all set for it. Once everyone was awake and the stuff was in the car, we headed off to the airport. Anna had texted me saying she was there already.

We got to the flight a half hour before the boarding started. Kassidy was resting her head on my shoulder as we waited. Her and I had never really been the kind of people who are able to function before nine o'clock. My parents were the complete opposite. I don't fully understand how.

I had my headphones in and was looking around at everyone sitting. There was a lady dressed in all blue with a child sitting next to her, a couple with a screaming baby, and a petite girl who had short brown hair sitting next to a man with black hair. I could already tell the man was very tall by the size of his legs. He looked like someone Kassidy would look up to in all honesty. It's not a bad thing. She's made me listen to some music along the way and I've liked a bit of it. I just like sticking closer to softer music. It made me relaxed.

Finally, our flight was announced and everyone sitting stood up and started boarding. I found my seat and thank god, it was a window seat. The rocker guy and girl sat next to me and Kassidy sat in front of me. It took quite a while for everyone to get settled in and for the plane to start. It wasn't my first time on a flight, but I always hated taking off.

"Have you seen my lotion, Denis?" The girl asked the guy who I'm assuming was Denis.

"No, I haven't Anichka." Denis said.

His voice was very deep. The girl, Anichka made a big sigh. I could tell by her attitude that she was a piece of work.

"You could ask the attendants for some?" Denis suggested.

"Ew! No." She quietly shrieked.

I rolled my eyes and started on a movie.

After a half hour, I noticed Denis had stopped paying attention to his phone and was watching the movie with me. I took out of the earbuds I was using and looked at him.

"Uh, sorry. It's just that movie's one of my favorites." He chuckled awkwardly.

I was stupid to not realize it earlier, but he had a Ukrainian accent. It just made him more attractive.

"Yeah, mine too." I smiled.

"Buzz Lightyear is just such a big inspiration to me. I can't express how much I love him." He stated.

What the fuck?

"O-oh." I laughed slightly.

He started laughing, "I'm kidding."

I breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't weird.

"I'm Sofia." I smiled.

"Denis." He smiled back.

"I like that name."

"Well thanks."

"Yeah."

We became silent.

"I'm sorry. I'm weird." I frowned.
