Protection (Siva Kaneswaran Story)

Chapter 7

________________England: Day 6, 8:00 a.m._____________

When Siva and I awoke, he was still holding me. My head was on his chest and my arms were around his waist. He seemed to be really glad that I didn't leavve him. He kissed the top of my head and I smiled. I didn't want to get up, but we had to.

We got ready for the day and went to Nano's room. He told me that there would be someone to take our bags to the van. I was sure to keep my backpack with me. Siva had his own too. I told him to keep his knife in there and anything else that was important to him. As the others woke up, they came into Nano's room.

Tom seemed to keep to what he said last night. He made sure that they were all in the room by 7:20. I was really proud of him. Nano was too. Tom just wanted everyone to be happy today. Carson was a little stressed, but he seemed to hide it well. 

Once we got to the airport, I was sure to stay close to Siva. He and I agreed to act like we were okay with it. I wasn't really going to be able to come up with fake reasons to fight anyway. I saw some people that looked shady, but they didn't seem like a true threat. 

We got through the secuirty quickly. They saw that we had guns and weapons, but once we showed them our I.D.'s, they seemed okay with it. I knew that they would be. We then sat in front of our gate, until they would call us. I made sure to stand in front of Siva. 

"I need you number." Siva told me. I looked at him and smiled. I knew that the others hadn't heard him say that. I took my phone out and I typed it on a notepad. He looked at it and copied it. With in seconds, I saw that he was texting me.

"Good idea. I like the way that you think." I told him. He smiled at me like he was a little kid. I rolled my eyes and looked around the room. There weren't many people right now. I was hoping that it would all stay that way.

It wasn't too long before we were called to our plane. Siva and I walked thorugh the gate and into the airplane. I made sure that he and I sat next to each other. He sat towards the window, so that I could take care of him. I put our bags above our heads and sat next to him. The others seemed to be used to this. I looked at Siva and he was already trying to go to sleep.

I got out of my seat and walked around the plane. I was just looking for anything that seemed weird. Carson had seen that I had left Siva and he went to sit next to him. I was greatful that he did that. When I went back, Carson got up and went back to Max and Tom.

"What did you two talk about?" I asked Siva. He looked at me and smiled.

"It was nothing. He was just trying to figure out what happened." He told me. I smiled at him. Then the flight attendants told us that we were taking off.

On our way to Germany, Siva and I got to talk. We didn't talk too loud, but it was enough so that we started to know each other. I learned that he had other siblings and that he also wanted a big family. He was a fan of older music, but he liked it all. He liked to dance, even though he wasn't good at it. He had an obsession with candles. He just thinks that they are calming.

I told him a little about myself, too. I told him that Carson and I were raised by our parents, but it was our uncle that really taught us stuff. I told him that I have always wanted to take care of and protect other people. Siva seemed to think that was really cool. When it came to what I wanted, he seemed to be a little disappointed. I told him that I really had no plans for children, or even marriage. I just wanted to do my job.

While we talked, I knew that the others were sleeping. There was a couple that thought that we were married. I kind of felt like that was a compliment. That meant that we looked comfortable together.
