Chasing Elliot Grace

No. 17: Planes

I saw that you were perfect
and so I loved you. Then I
saw that you were not perfect
and I loved you even more.
Elliot Grace POV
The plane was taking forever to leave. Seriously, Hayes and I had been sitting here waiting for the thing to move for almost an hour now. I sighed impatiently, Hayes noticing my annoyed state taking my hand in his. "Calm down, we'll go soon." He cooed as if I were the five year old I was acting like. "Fine." I grumbled, a laugh escaping Hayes' mouth. The thing about this is that I knew I was acting like a brat, its what I get I guess for staying up so late last night. "Sorry for the wait folks, we should be taking off in the next ten minutes, please at this time turn off all electronic devices until further notice and buckle your seat belts during lift off. Thank you and enjoy your flight!" The flight attendant said into the mic that was at the front of the plane. I could feel Hayes' smirk from where I sat buckling myself in. "Yeah yeah shut up." I grumbled out as Hayes burst out laughing again. "Its a good thing you're cute." I whispered under my breath thinking he couldn't hear. "I know, Its one of the many things you love about me." He said seriously. "I wouldn't hold my breath sweety." Messing with him was something I had missed. His bottom lip puckered out as he made a puppy dog face then put his face in my hair, kissing the side of my neck. "You love me! So stop being a meanie!" When I didn't budge he went to another strategy, he, being one of the only people that know where im ticklish at, began to tickle me. Laughs escaped my mouth as he did, and I began to kick and slap him to try to get him to stop. "Stop! Stop!" I cried, a few glances now on us, thank God we are in the very back of the plane. "No, not until you say you're sorry! And that you love me!" He said as he continued to tickle me, my ribs beginning to hurt. "Okay, okay!" Regaining a breath I continued. "Im sorry! I love you!" I said and he drew his hand back. "Aww I love you too!" He pulled me into a hug as I leaned on him and the plane began to move up the runway. We both had ear buds in our ears after a while, Hayes wide awake, me slowly falling into dreamland.

Hayes POV
Grace had shortly fallen asleep in my arms after the plane had taken off. I knew that she had not gotten any sleep hardly at all last night since she had woken up at around three am to write in her journal. Im not complaining, its just that it bothers me that she's not sleeping. Her now brunette hair, which was pinned in a halo around sides of her head, was taking me a while to get use to. When I was sure she was asleep, I took out the camera that was on my phone and turned it to the front face camera. I smiled as I took a picture of us, her cutely sleeping and I smiling into the camera. I posted it on most of my social medias with the caption:
@HayesGrier : Watch out Arizona! We're coming for you!😏❤️
The comments piled in and I turned my phone off, music still playing in my ears, and then placed my head on my pillow, sleep coming easily.
