So sorry for taking so long with uploading! I'm kinda down lately, but that'll go away soon enough. For now, enjoy a new chapter!!! Bye bye!!
Jacks P.O.V.
Mark keeps holding my hand while we're walking through the whole shopping center at the airport. In the beginning I felt weird about it and I didn't like the people staring at me, but after a while I realized what was happening. Mark was holding my hand, and he did it to look like we're in a relationship! Of course we aren't, but it's the thought that counts right! I'm just walking around with Mark holding my hand. We bought new stuff, so we could just continue. We'd buy more stuff in Europe. Mark still hasn't told me where we're going, but I've given up on asking after at least a thousand attempts. I'll just see when we get there, or maybe they'll say it in the airplane.
It's almost time. Mark and I are walking to the airplane. We got through the scans with people checking everything. It was kinda creepy, but we got trough. Mark is still holding my hand and only let go when he needed to. We walked outside. We got in the plane and sat down. Mark and I sat down opposite each other, both close to a window. "Are you nervous?" He asked me with a little smile on his face. I smile back. "Nah, just excited! And maybe a tiny bit nervous." I say. Mark laughs. "Relax, you don't have to. We're gonna have loads of fun! I've already planned some stuff to do." Mark said with a growing smile. "You're making me curious!" I say miserably. "I know." He says while wiggling his eyebrows.
Marks P.O.V.
Jack looks puzzled at me. "You're making me curious!" He says with an angry look at me. I smile and wiggle my eyebrows at him. "I know." Jack laughed. I feel incredibly happy. I've been walking around with Jack like we're a couple the whole time here! And he just went with it! I can't help but feel a little hope glowing inside of me. Butterflies have been racing trough my whole body since I've grabbed his hand. I'm proud of myself. I just did it! It even looked like he was loving it too, like he hoped that something like that would happen.... No, no I can't get my hopes up like that. I know Jack is straight, it's no use.
I still smile. Jack was looking out of the window, even though we aren't even off the ground. "Hey, Jack ?" I ask. He looks at me and makes a little asking noise. "What would you like to do in Europe?" I don't really know why I ask, but I just want to talk to him, see the excitement in his eyes. The excitement caused by me, by what I'm doing. The butterflies are racing again. They seem to have escaped my stomach. I see Jack scratching his beard. He didn't shave for a while. It looks so good on him. I smile. "I really can't choose! I wanna go to see everything!" I giggle. I did expect something like that. It's adorable. Jack scratches his neck while looking down, smiling. He's slowly turning red. What did he think off? What didn't he tell me ?
Jacks POV
"Jack?" Mark asked. I look at him and make a little sound. "What would you like to do in Europe?" I didn't expect the question. What would I wanna do in Europe ? I would go to London, Paris, Pisa, Amsterdam. So many things I would like to do! 'Like kiss you' the little voice in my head said. "I really can't choose! I wanna go to see everything!" I say excited before realising what that little voice said. Mark giggled. I feel myself turning red. In my head, a whole scenario is playing of Mark and I kissing on a beach with the sunset in the background. I scratch my neck and smile like crazy. Then I notice Mark looking curiously at me. I quickly sit back up, hoping that my face isn't too red. Mark clearly wants to ask, but he keeps quiet.
We're almost leaving. The last people are looking for their seats and siting down. "Okay.... ehm. What language do they speak there ?" I ask. Mark and I are playing a game where I have to guess where we're going. "If I told you, you would know in a second, Jack!" Marks said giggling. "You'll know soon enough, the pilot always says where the plane is going." I look at Mark and feel myself going red again. How did I forget that they'll just say it?! I'm so stupid! "You forgot, didn't you?" Mark said amused. I put my face in my hands and make a low sound. I hear Mark laugh. Then I hear someone sitting down next to me. I look up and see a girl with pink hair. She's wearing headphones and is chewing on something. She looks back at me. "Hi." She said shyly. "Hi." I answer. She looks back at her screen. I look at Mark, who lifts his shoulders and looks outside trough the window. "We're almost leaving." He says with a smile. I smile and look in the plain for people who haven't found their seats yet. The seat next to Mark is still empty. I see a few people. Another girl walks in our direction. She has long blonde hair in perfect waves. She could've been a model, but she's not wearing enough clothes I think. She sits down next to Mark. "Liz, why did you walk away without me?! Did you forget that I'm the older sister or something?!" The blonde girl says to the girl with the pink hair next to me. She looks up, nods, and looks back and her screen again. "Sisters" the blonde girl whispered.
Then she looked at Mark and me. "Oh hi! I'm Isabella, but please call me Izzy. That's my sister, Elizabeth, but you can call her Liz." She said happily. Mark kindly started a conversation with Izzy. I don't now why, but I don't like the way she looks at Mark. She's being a little too kind. I just look at them and listen to their conversation. "So, do you have a girlfriend?" Izzy asked and she touched Mark upper arm. I feel a shock go trough my body, but don't do or say anything. I look away. I don't wanna see this. I look at Liz, she looks at me. "You like him, don't you." She says quietly. I feel myself go red and I started glowing. I scratch my neck and smile a little, hoping she'll look away, but she doesn't. Of course. "Well..... eh...... I- I might like him a little." I stutter. Cursing the fact that I'm horrible at lying I look at her, hoping that she'll accept my answer. For the first time since they sat down, she smiled. "Relax, I'm gay too." She whispered. I looked surprised at her, then I smile back. "That's awesome!" I try to keep my voice down. "Yeah, I think so too. My girlfriend and I are meeting in Paris. Where are you and your friend going ?" She asked. Paris? Paris !!! We're going to France! It suddenly all makes sense. City of love, the fact that Mark forced me to eat croissants. I smile like crazy. "Well, Mark doesn't want to tell me where we're going, it's driving me mad! Wait, did I even introduce myself?" I suddenly realize that Liz doesn't even know my name. She's awesome though. "No, I have no idea who you are." She said giggling. I smile and stick out my hand. She shook it. "Well hello. I am Jack." I say in a snobby way. She smiles. "What are you listening to?" I ask when I look at her headphones. Her eyes started glowing with excitement. "Oh! It's this awesome band called 'set it off'!! (Awesome band! Check them!!!) Here! You listen!" She hands me her headphones and I put them on. The music is awesome! After a while of talking to Liz, we hear a women's voice telling us what to do in emergencies. After that they told us to put on our belts and that the plain was going up in two minutes. I look at Mark and remember how my conversation with Liz started. Izzy was almost forcing herself onto Mark's lap. He was trying to push her away, saying that she should sit down because the plain would leave soon, but she wouldn't listen. "But Mark, I'm so scared! Will you protect me?" Izzy said over dramatically. I feel rage taking over my body. I want to hit her and throw her trough the window, but I'm surely not strong enough for that. Just when Mark was thinking how to react, Liz started talking. "Izzy, shut up. You even take the plane to get to the garden, so don't pretend that you're scared. Let the guy alone, not everyone likes a whore." She said in a bored tone. Izzy was clearly offended, but finally sat down and stopped talking. I got closer to Liz and whisper : "thank you." She smiles and answers: "no problem."
After we where steady in the air, Izzy started being annoying again. After a while of trying to look outside and trying to ignore it, I noticed that I had crushed my cookie out of frustration. Liz seemed to have noticed and looked at me. It looks like she could feel how angry I was because she did the only thing I needed. "Mark, would you like to switch seats? I'd like to sit next to the window." Liz asked. I felt the warmth glowing in my chest. Mark smiled and nodded, to Izzy's disappointment. Mark sat down next to me. "Damn she was annoying." He whispered in my ear. I giggle. It's weird how fast my mood switches.
After a while of talking and playing eye-spy games, I start to get tired. I lean on Mark's shoulder and he puts an arm around me. I hear his heartbeat. I smile with my eyes closed. This flight is gonna be better then I imagined.
