I watch outside by the window. We are surrounded by clouds. It's so pretty, it gives me the feeling that we are flying through cotton candy. We are sitting in the plane for about an hour. My sister is sleeping next to me and i don't know what to do to distract myself. I look at the people around me. There's a couple sitting in the same row as me, there's an old lady sitting in front of me and my parents are not far behind me. A movement catches my attention. I see the guy that i was watching during the take-off stand up. He passes in front of his sister and walks in direction of the bathroom.
I look at his back while he walks. He's wearing grey sweatpants, a white adidas t-shirt and a black cap. He must have had the same idea as me with the comfy look. I look at him more closely, i think he might be around 19 or 20 years old. He's really not bad looking, actually he's quite handsome. Brown hair, brown eyes and he didn't shave completely. I kind of like that.
He grabs the door handle of the bathroom and his eyes meet mines as he opens the door. I quickly look down. Oh my god, he saw that I was checking him out. I don't lift my head up until i'm sure that he went in the bathroom. I decide to watch a movie. We all have our own screen so it's gonna help pass the time and i don't want to take the chance that he's gonna catch me another time.
I pick Iron Man 3 in the list of movies available. I like Robert Downey Jr. He's really funny and i loved Sherlock Holmes so i'll probably enjoy this movie as well. The movie starts and i hear the bathroom's door close itself, i turn my head to see Liam go back to his seat. He sits and put his arm around his sister bringing her next to him. Her head rests on his chest. It's really cute to see. I catch myself thinking that i should take a picture. I'm so weird... I shouldn't take a picture of a stranger. This is kinda creepy but i don't care it's really adorable to see. Furthermore, he won't even know i took one and we only see his back. I quietly take my iphone out of my bag and take a picture. And guess what? We hear a big "click" and a flash comes out of my camera. Everyone turns around to look at me. I stop moving and i try to concentrate on the movie. Oh god, why do things like this happen only to me? I'm so embarrassed right now.
I take a quick look at Liam, he's still sitting with his sister next to him and his eyes are closed. Thank god, he doesn't seem to have notice what just happened.
For the rest of the flight i stay quiet and i watch the movie. After 5 hours in the air, we finally arrive in Florida. We get off the plane and we go pick up our luggages. We get outside the airport and my dad stops us in front of the entrance.
"We're gonna try to catch a cab to get to the hotel" My dad tells us.
We nod, there are so many people outside who are here for the same reason as us. It's gonna be long. I turn around just in time to see the guy, Liam opening the door for his mother who's carrying the luggages. He holds the door and has his sister in his arms. They finally pass through all the people standing outside and stop just beside me and my family. He turns his head in my direction and gives me a smile. I smile back and suddenly i feel an arm grabbing me.
"Come on Charlie! There's a taxi right there! We're gonna take it. Your dad is already talking to the driver." My mom tells me while pulling me in her direction.
I just have the time to sit inside with the rest of my family and the taxi driver starts the car. I look by the window and i see Liam and his family climbing in another car. His back is facing me. Our car slowly begins to move and the last thing i see is him sitting in the front of the other car.
-Liam-
We get off the plane and i look around me. We are finally in Florida and we are about to pass 2 weeks here. At the end of my school year, I decided to pass my last 2 weeks of holidays with my family because i'm heading to University this year and i won't be leaving with them anymore. I'll have my room at Uni with probably a roommate. We take our luggages and i search for the exit.
"Mom, it's this way. Come here, Emily!" I tell my mom and take my sister in my arms.
I open the door and hold it. My mom passes with our 3 suitcases. I turn around cause i feel someone watching me. It's the girl from the plane. She seems nice, i like what she's wearing, sweatpants and a hoodie. Perfect! She totally gets that there is no need of wearing a super short skirt and full of makeup to take the plane. I smile at her. I don't know, she always seems to be looking at me since i came in the plane. At first, i thought i had something in my face. I didn't so i thought that maybe we knew each other but i didn't recognize her so this wasn't it either. I decide just to smile at her, i don't want to seem rude or anything like that. She smiles back but at the same time her mom pulls her toward a taxi.
"Liam! There's a cab right there. Let's try to have it before someone else. I want to get to the hotel and i'm a bit tired." My mom tells me.
"Okay, i have this! Let me take the luggages and go sit in the car with Emily."
I grab our bags and put them in the back of the car. I close the door and i turn back to see if the girl is still there. She isn't. I don't know why because i don't even know her but i wish i could have tell her goodbye. I could have just wave at her. Anyway, i won't see her again. We are both in Florida but that's it. There is one chance in a million that we'll run into each other one more time. Plus, she probably lives in Canada and i live in England. I get in the car and sit in the front next to the driver.
"Sandal Hotel please" I tell him.
I look by the window one last time.
