Flight

The Way

"Do you have your itenary?" Lorraine asks, "Yes Ma" Samyrah says and looks at her father Roy and tells him that her mum is more nervous than her.
"It's pretty serious though Samyrah, you need to make sure that you handle your passport and tickets carefully. I should have had some friends in the L.A.P.D it would've helped so much right now." Roy says nodding his head, "As if you being a cop wasn't enough Dad, no more cops!" Samyrah says with a smile at her brother Darren. Darren just glares at her for a while, then whispers to her, "doesn't mean that you go have too much fun.. Dad didn't you wanna talk to her about something" looking at their father..
Then he comes to Samyrah and says..
"Look I know you want to go away and all but remember your values and don't turn into a spoilt brat there.. We're not those rich people that have money at the go... So I take it that you'll handle yourself with care and not get into wrong things and situations Afterall you are the daughter of a cop. Remember that.. If not I'll definitely make sure to make some friends there soon, if you stay out of trouble I won't barge in... Until you work by yourself and start earning for yourself, I will always interfere" he stated with his lips in a grim line.
All Samyrah did was, excused herself and headed to the washroom, she looked at the reflection that looked into her dark brown eyes which almost turned black, hoping that no else could read into her but herself. Holding onto her tears and preventing herself from punching into the glass she just pulled her purse in front and set it on the counter to take her eye liner out to give her the winged liner look that gave her a little, well a huge boost of confidence that she needed and just went over her lip with chapstick once more and ran her hands through her almost waist length hair thanking humans for inventing straighteners and air dryers for having helping her hair look this good, if not.. She thought of herself walking with her fuzzy curly hair and just laughed ignoring all the problems. After she spoke to Darren and told him that he had to take care of everyone and the responsibility was now on his shoulders to handle their house and everything they had that was family , finally the departure to LAX was announced, she sighed in relief and said good bye once again with her Dad giving her a curt nod and telling "Take Care, And remember to call" , and Lorraine saying "Remember to pick my calls!  Don't you get spoilt like those rich kids now" and finally giving her brother a fist pump she turned with the trolley and hand bag as well as her purse to the check-in counter and claimed her boarding pass and headed towards the departure line smirking to a freedom that was awaiting her..

Samyrah's POV:

I was in my seat awaiting for the flight attendants to announce the take off and get ahead with the instructions they provide regarding safety. There was a guy who smiled at me from a few seats ahead, I smiled back looking at him. Noticing that he was sitting next to me, thinking my flight couldn't get any better cause the guy was all happy on the face and definitely looked way to good for my liking. I was happy that it wasn't one of those people who were too stuck up in their own ass to start a conversation with a stranger. Wetting my lip, I said to him "Hi, I'm Samyrah. What's your name?"  "Nice to meet you. I'm Jacob" he replied "I'm so glad that you're not one of those bitchy looking people who have attitude as huge as their body travelling with them, cause this sure is a long flight back home" he continued. Fuck, his voice is so good as well. Snap out  Sammy! "Home? You're from LA?" I asked. "No, I'm from New York. You are from?" Jacob asked me, "Australia." Jacob said looking rather surprised, "You don't sound like one, Thank God, no offence" giving a cheeky grin. I laughed at him "hey,  that's rude!" he smiled, "I've been around too many Australians and got off of one if you know what I mean" he said with a wink. I rolled my eyes at him, "Godddd" to which he said "Funny, she was saying the same" Oh my God, he needs to talk softer there's a kid jumping in the seat in front of us.. "Shut up, you sure need to talk softer. You know." He said with a smile, " Oh, You want details then?" ughh, I cringed at him and said, " How About No?" To which he laughed, "Sorry, was just messing around babe" I just replied with a smile and said "hmmmm" he continued, "So, Where are you exactly from?" "I was born in India and lived there till I was 15. Then I moved to Australia. I've lived here since 4 and a half years. So that's about my story.. So what's yours?" "New York born. Became a model cause I wanted to earn money early. Came to Australia for a Modelling assignment and going to LA to continue the same assignment."
I knew it! He had to be a model! I Should've had one hell of a cat grin pasted on my face he was probably thinking of me as some creep, he said aloud "okay, now what? You're making me feel like you know my dirty secrets, should I be worried?" To which I said "Haha, nah ah. I just pinned you as a model. I didn't expect you to actually be one. That's it." he smiled And said "Nice work inspector" I cringed at that. I changed the topic, and asked him about the modelling assignments he is part of and found out that his mum and Dad have separated, but they support him equally, he studied till 10th grade applied to college and went to culinary camp during the holidays which was run by an aunt where someone told him to try out modelling,  he did it for an experience and I quote, "Luck does kick in, when it has to. Cause it sure knows what will keep you happy the most." He asked me about my life and I told him, "I graduated 10th grade in India, then moved to Australia, did my degree in English, Journalism and minored in Psychology. And now I want to do my masters in English. So, that's about it."
He looked at me, saying, "I was thinking on the lines of doctor when you said India, guilty, but you're too laid back for it, so you had me confused.. But you're cool" I said "Thank you" and we continued to talk and promised that we'll definitely meet up soon after he'd be free and my graduation would've been done.
We Both fell asleep late and then I remember being woken up by the air hostess saying that we should buckle our seat belts as well. I searched for Jacob but couldn't find him.
I was wondering where he'd gone, then I see him get out of the cockpit, wiping his forehead. I remained quiet, not wanting to pry, he sat down keeping quiet, then he wished me good morning and continued the silence. I found that a little weird even though I understood the need to shut down everything around, but wondered what could happen so early in the morning that made him so quiet. Wow, can he be fucked up in his head too?? Then one of the air hostess came to our seat with breakfast, she gave me a smile at first and then gave me a stare that creeped me so I took my phone and started meddling with it since it was on flight mode I wanted to listen to music and then I saw her biting her lip and running her fingers over Jacob's hand and lingering there for way too long, I looked down because it definitely got weird for me to be in between them, and she almost fell over me because she was so lost her trance with him.. I caught her during which my ear plugs came off, with the song that I was listening to being played on speaker. Hands to Myself by Selena Gomez started to play out loud. There were a few people snickering at the back. God! Luckily it was quite early and not many passengers were awake.
Then the air hostess said thanks to me and left realising how awkward it had gotten. Then I looked at Jacob and he just scratched his neck, with his dimpled smile, making me realise he a had a hickey which was so maroon or purple. And I wanted to see how he'd react,  so I told him, He just smirked saying "I'm gonna have more of these in a while, she's feisty that chick ya know. She just got worried that many passengers heard her" I asked him somehow "so y'all did it?"
He said "No. I took care of her, she can help me once she's off duty" I was looking at him, I saw his deep blue eyes, so alight because of the sunlight that was hitting his face and my eyes fell on his lips, they were swollen and pink. This guy was like a combination of cute and hot in one. He was staring back to and then he bit his lip, as if he were trying to control himself from talking.  Then I turned away and gazed through the window, while munching on the toast and omelette.
Jacob called me indicating to take my ear plugs off, so I did, he then gave me his number and took mine. Telling me that if I'd ever need help in the modelling biz or a photo shoot done he'd love to get his friend to do it, who also lives in L.A, I said okay, I'd let him know if I'd want it.
Then as if on cue, one of the flight attendants announced the landing of the flight.
After landing, Jacob helped me with my bags and I waited with him while he got his And we walked out to get our cabs, he made sure I got mine first and helped put my luggage in and hugged me and said, "if I didn't have plans already, I would've hung out with you and then pursued you into getting down with me baby. But for now, you have to go get your stuff done, so take care, keep in touch okay?" What? I said, "Y-Yeah, okay" He came closer and kissed me on my cheek, making me bite my lower lip,wishing so much more, just to feel the sense of being free... He then moved, and I let out a breath that I was holding , for what joy? I don't know.
"okay Jacob, take care and Thanks. Bye" saying that I sat in the cab and left to my destination thinking, shit that was just weird. He looks so... Ugh no. Don't Sammy. Don't go there.
I tell the cab to head to the University Of California, Los Angeles
