Airplane Adventure (C.H)

Chapter 8

"Hey mare, wake up!" Cal woke me up.

"Wha-what? Are we there yet?" I rubbed my eyes and yawned abit.

"Ofcourse not we got 3 more hours to go, wanna kill time and have a little adventure?" He grinned.

"Okay but promise me you'll keep me safe" i caught his glance.

"Ofcourse i will"

For the last few minutes Mr Grumpy or should i say Cal started to open up with his life a bit. Telling me stories about why he was actually grumpy at the frst place. It was quite nice since he started to lighten up a bit. All smiles and laughter. I totally ignored all my work and just remained there listening to him intently. His vibe reminds me of someone and i cant seem to remember who though.

"So how about you? Why were you all bumpy and stuff just now?" He asked.

"Um well i have this fear of airplanes and since im travelling alone this time it actually makes me more worried." I started to mumble but then i looked up at him and saw that he was if thinking about something.

To break the awkwardness, "thank you btw for you know, holding my hand just now" i smiled at him. Thank god he broke from his train of thoughts and smiled back at me.

"So where are you going when you reach home?" He asked.

"Well first im gonna show my face to my dearly beloved family and prove to them that i am actually here. Then probably just hang around for awhile with some pals and just wait for the wedding to come. To be honest i miss Australia, i miss my friends and i miss my work." I confessed.

"You really are a workaholic arent you?" He grinned.

"Sort off , have you ever get a feeling that you were born to do something? Like whenever you're stressed or mad at something, you would do that thing to soothe your feelings"

"Yeah i do, so what do you work as?" He finally asked.

"Im a microbiologist from UOS" i replied with a smile. But all i get in return is a scrunched face with WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT written all over it.

"I basically do experiments on microorganisms to know whats causing a certain disease." I explained and again the same face.

"Okay so what do you do for a living?" I asked to break the awkwardness again.

"I play the bass guitar and write songs" he replied. He then was too absorbed into telling his story about songs he wrote and how some artist nowadays are so into sex and all. Its funny really. This is the first time i actually met someone who was as passionate as me towards something. Something that would be ridiculous to others. But it meant the world to us.

"Why would you look at that, looks like Calum and Miss Annoying finally got along together" an annoying voice interuptted.

"Arz back so SOON?" Calum returned to his sour self back.

"Aw calum did you miss me?" She said in a childish way approaching him very closely. And surprisingly calum lets her touch his face. And his breath actualky hitched. I looked at him weirdly. Wasnt he mad at her just now? How? What? Im confused.

Blonde who i assume is luke appeared out if the blue and both of them (cal and arz) back away from each other. As arz went and sat down beside luke, calum got up and walked away.

So here i am left alone in a dark aircraft filled with snores. Suddenly the aircraft was shaking and i held onto the pillow so tightly. But one thing that ran through my mind was "where in the world is Calum?"

So i got up when all the shaking was over and i walked up to the front only to see a boy sitting near the stairs. He sat there looking straight at the cockpit door. I walked up to him and sat next to him.

"Hey cal, what are you doing here?" I asked him softly.

"I missed her"

"Who?"

"A special friend of mine"

Thats the staircase both of them were sitting
