L is for Lust

Part 16 - Let's Fly Away

I spent most of the journey to the airport asleep. I was too tired to function let alone make a decision on anything. It felt like in no time we had arrived at Heathrow Airport and the Driver was prompting me to wake up before he began to unload the car of my luggage. I grabbed my carry on that was in the back of the car with me and waited while I collected my thoughts as to what was happening. As I began to walk off into departures of Terminal 5, the driver stopped me.

"Excuse me Miss!" I turned round to look at the driver to see what I'd forgotten. He held up an envelope full of these holiday details.

"Thank you!" I said sympathetically "I swear i'm not with it! Thank you again!" I said as he handed me the envelope. I walked into the Terminal, and stood there looking anywhere other than opening up the envelope. The more I knew what I was doing, the closer I was too seeing Joe, and after my talk with Izzy, I didn't know what I wanted with Joe. I slowly used my index finger to peel back the fold of the envelope to reveal where I was going. I closed my eyes and pulled out the contents of the envelope. I opened my eyes. LA.

We where going to LA!?! From the easy to follow details that Joe had left me, I was told to go to Zone H. I looked around and slowly began to drag my overly large suitcase in the direction of Zone H. Half asleep still, I checked in with the overly perky woman on the check-in desk. God. no one should be this perky at 2am on a Friday morning. I looked down at the details that Joe had given me, it took me a moment to realise that the reason that she was being overly friendly was due to the fact I was flying first class. The woman help me check in and deal with my suitcase as I was half asleep and escorted me to the first class lounge.

As soon as I arrived in the lounge, I dosed over to a sofa in the corner of the room. With my bag, I made a makeshift pillow and before I knew it I was fast asleep. What felt like moments later, I felt a warm hand grace my face. I began to stir and rub my eyes to see what what was happening.
"Morning" Joe softly spoke as my eyes where adjusting from the deep sleep I was in.
"...Heyya" I replied with a hint of morning voice. I couldn't help but smile as Joe stared at me, I had no idea. I'd hate to admit it but I was starting to think Izzy was right. Thank God she wasn't here though, she would never let me forget it. "How long was I out for?" I said playing with the draw strings of my hoodie while still laying in the sofa.
"Just under a couple hours maybe? You where flat out when I arrived, I thought it would be best to let you sleep" He said sweetly as he began to stand up. I took this as a sign that I had to get up from the sofa that I had somehow grew fondly attached of. Joe held out his hand to me and I took it without any hesitation.
"What's happening?" I questioned still not fully awake.

"We're going on holiday silly" He said guiding me out of the lounge. My only response was to give him a sarcastic look. He laughed to himself. "We have to make our way too the terminal" He said as he lead the way. I simply obeyed and followed.

Butterflies began fluttering in my stomach as I saw the plane as we where about to board. By this point I'd woken up and was fully aware of the reality that was kicking in. I squeezed onto Joe's hand tightly. He turned to look at me.
"So do you want to hear a funny story?" I said rhetorically. Before he could reply, I continued "I kind of have a tiny fear of flying...well more like the take off and the landing. Everything in between I'm good with" I said sounding like some kind of idiot. I'd been on a plane many times before I just hated the feeling of when the plane first arrived at the run way, stopped for 30 seconds and started running 1000mph up the run way.

I thought Joe was going to mock me and one of my many phobia's, instead his actions surprised me. He put down his bag and squeezed my body close to his.
"Zara. There's nothing to be scared of, you're here with me" He kissed my forehead as we continued our embrace. I knew at this point I should of been excited for the adventure I was about to embark on, but the words Izzy spoke wouldn't stop rattling around my head. As I began to start loosing myself in my thoughts Joe spoke.
"Hey! At least you'll be in first class, you know panic in style and all" He said chuckling to himself. I pushed him away from me and starred him in the eyes. I couldn't help but notice the twinkle in his eyes and felt a sense of home within them. I leaned into his kiss him just as we where interrupted by another flight attendant to escort us to our seats.
