Make the Most of It

43. Crazy

-four days after Alex and Luke's wedding-

I felt the wind of another cab drive past us as I stood on the edge of the sidewalk outside of the airport. Our somewhat large group was gathered around in a huddle, waiting for only Scarlet and Jacob.

"I thought they were staying at the same hotel as you," I questioned.

"They were, but they said they were leaving a little after us," Ari answered.

"Let's just go inside and wait. We're holding up a lot of space," Zayn suggested. I squeezed his hand in approval. We all carried our bags and walked inside, forming another huddle.

"You ladies can wait for them, and us guys can get checked in if you want," Carter suggested. "The line looks pretty long."

Before anyone could answer, Scarlet and Jacob came in through the sliding doors.

"No need," Scarlet called out. "We're here."

"Took you long enough," Xander sighed.

"We got stuck in traffic," Jacob explained.

"Oh well anyway, let's all get in line. We're going to be there for a while," Xander replied.

"Sure let's go," I agreed. We all walked to the end of the line marked with our airline. We ended up waiting behind a small family with two little girls, who looked to be about seven and nine.

"Does anyone know how long we have to wait here?" I asked, impatiently.

"I would say at least forty five minutes," Ivy answered. "Why?"

"I have to go to the bathroom," I replied. "I wanted to know if I'd be back in time."

"You'll be fine," she assured. I nodded then looked to Zayn.

"You coming?"

"Sure, I'll go" he answered. I heard Carter and Xander chuckle quietly.

"What?" I asked.

"If Zayn's going with you, then you definelty won't make it back in time."

"What do you mean?" I asked. All they did was smirk.

"Don't worry. I won't keep her too long," Zayn snickered. I immediately began blushing, after realizing what they where saying.

"We're not freakin' having sex in the airport bathroom," I exclaimed, maybe a bit too loud. The little girls in front looked at us in shock.

Ivy and Ari started laughing at the girls' fear, and soon we all were laughing.

"Look what you did Nikki," Scarlet said. "Now these two innocent litte girls are scared of you."

I frowned at the girls to show them that I was sorry, then quickly grabbed Zayn's hand and walked away.

"You want to take their idea into consideration?" Zayn asked smirking, right at the entrance of the bathroom.

"No," I urged. "I want to pee." I quickly rushed into the bathroom, leaving him behind.

In about three hours, we were all sitting on the plane, already soaring through the sky, on our eleven hour long flight back to LA. There were four adjoining seats to a row and three columns of rows. I was sitting in between Ari and Zayn with my head resting on his shoulder, who was seated by the window.
