Chapter 66: A Scary Flight

The next day...

Zak, Aaron, Billy, Jay, Ashley, Cheryl and I were sitting in our seats on an airplane in first class, and we were all starting to go a bit crazy. We had taken off from Las Vegas early in the morning, and were roughly 10 hours into the 20 hour flight to Transylvania, Romania.

I had ended up spending the night, for the first time, at Zak's. I had slept in the guest room while Zak slept in his room. After the intensity and emotion filled night, I knew sharing a bed would have been a risky idea. Without even bringing the topic up, Zak seemed to of felt the same way, although he was worried "his attachments" would haunt me during the night.

Thankfully, nothing had happened to either of us, although I had had a dream about Emily, the first time I had "seen" her since the "Queen Mary" investigation three weeks prior.

I had told Zak over breakfast about the dream, although I couldn't remember most of it. The only real thing I could remember was Emily warning me that we should be careful in Romania. Zak seemed slightly concerned, but I knew nothing would change his mind about this once in a lifetime trip.

Because I had stayed the night, we had to stop by my place before heading to the airport, so that I could shower, change, and get my luggage.

When we finally arrived at the airport, Cheryl was her usual perky self despite the early morning. Zak and I had been the last ones to arrive at the airport.

"Well, well. Look who has finally decided to grace ourselves with their presence," Billy teased, as Zak and I walked up to everyone after checking our luggage and going through security.

We all laughed.

"Oh shut it Bill," Zak remarked, as he set down our carry on bags.

He was being the perfect gentleman again this morning, carrying my luggage and then my carry on, despite my arguments.

"Let me see! Let me see!" Cheryl had exclaimed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward me.

Ashley followed behind her.

"See what?" I asked, momentarily confused.

"Your ring!" Cheryl said, looking at me like I was the biggest dumbass on the planet.

I laughed.

"Oh, right," I replied and held my hand out for her and Ashley to see.

"A ring?" Jay questioned.

Aaron was sitting there with his jaw open, Billy looking equally stunned.

Zak laughed.

"Just a birthday gift," Zak said, as he took a seat with the others.

"Not 'just' a birthday gift, a BEAUTIFUL birthday gift, holy cow!" Cheryl exclaimed, holding my hand as she gaped at the ring.

I smiled to myself.

Ashley smiled as well and looked back at Zak.

"You do have some taste in there," Ashley joked.

Zak laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Is this 'pick on Zak day' or what?" Zak jokingly grumbled.

"Pick on Zak AND Ali day, since you gave her a ring and she stayed the night," Cheryl said.

Zak just grinned.
