LANA
I glanced at the clock again. He would be out of his work at his local mechanic any minute now. He worked there after school everyday. He then would call me and we would talk for hours. I smiled at our routine.
Cohen was due fly over here to have Christmas with me and my family. He didn't want to be with his broken family because his dad abused him after drinking every night. His mum was a junkie and most likely didn't know she had a son. He only got rest when he went to school.I didn't blame him for wanting to leave.
As if he knew I was thinking of him, my phone began to ring. I quickly grabbed it and put it to me ear. My smile turned into a grin as I heard his deep voice through the phone.
"Hey Babe. I'm on my way to the airport." I was confused, how was he getting there? His parents were either too drunk or too stoned to drop him off.
"How are you getting there?"
"Oh. Dylan's driving me."
COHEN
I smiled as I heard Lana's excited voice over the phone. She was so cute sometimes. But I didn't know if I should say that because she always tells me I'm cute. Which I am not. There was a grin across my face, I could tell because Dylan started silently gagging then making kissing noises. I punched him in the arm.
"What are those noises, Cohen? Is Dylan being a 5 year old again?"
Dylan's face scrunched up as he heard Lana's statement. I laughed down the phone.
We soon came towards the airport. I said my goodbye to Dylan and thanked his for driving me. I took my suitcase and walked to check in with the electrical self automated thingos. While Lana was on the phone. Multitasker right here.
"Are you sure it's ok to fly at the moment? It says on the news that there are severe storms headed your way. "
"We will have already taken off and in the air by the time the storm hits." I watched as dark clouds in the distance crept forward.
We kept talking for the rest of the wait, which was 1 hour. When the loudspeaker above boomed.
'Flight 7425 boarding at gate 54. Gate 54 boarding flight 7425'
I finally said goodbye to her as I boarded the plane. I found my window seat and met the person I was going to sit next to for the next 5 hours. An elderly man sat there, he had receding white hair. He was slightly overweight but he had a vibe to him that was warm and welcoming. I put my luggage in the overhead compartment, he looked up at me! his eyes twinkling.
"Good evening, young man. Please to meet you. I will be sitting next to you for a good 5 hours, do we might as well get along." I smiled and sat down next to him.
"Pleasure." I replied.
We shook hands. Continuing to tell each other about ourselves. It turns out that his name was Graham , he was going home. He had a wife who was always cheery, very kind and considerate. But she died a few years ago. I could tell she still meant the world to him, the look on his face when he talked about her, said it all. I thought about Lana and knew that this is what we will be like when we grow old together.
