ONE LAST TIME (Discontinued)

CHAPTER 15

Thank you for all the love on the previous chapter! I have added a few pictures in this chapter because I always wanted to try out this Wattpad feature at least once and also because I did a lot of research  on private jets for this one LOL. Please bear with me. This is not proof read so apologies for that as well.

"This is your first time."

"Yes."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"As in the first-''

"I've not been on a plane before Khanna." I snapped, my anxiety getting the best of me although I was trying very hard to not let the extent of my inner panic show on my face. I was certainly not doing a good job of it since the pilot was looking at me like I had descended from another planet.

"How come you never-''

'

Aaiyappa I didn't!" Why was he finding it so hard to believe me? Like I said before, I was NOT a bird and had no business in flying in my entire life before. I wasn't interested in starting now either but my darling boyfriend had gone behind my back and had already pulled this wonderful stunt.

"Wow." Wow? Serioulsy? But he at least finally looked like this piece of information had got through him and I heaved a sigh of relief, tired of explaining myself anymore.

We were standing just outside the cockpit, after I had sought him out at 6 minutes left to board and 10 minutes for takeoff. I had thought that I would be able to get through this entire thing just fine but that was just me foolishly self-motivating while I stood on safe ground outside the imperial aircraft. The moment I had finally ascended and set foot inside The Hawk, all of my already dwindling courage had deserted me.

"Hey Nandini, its okay." Khanna gave me a reassuring smile, his brown eyes twinkling kindly, "The worst thing that can happen is we'll crash and die." He shrugged matter of factly and I groaned.

Ugh! That was so motivating to hear! And here I was thinking that this guy hadn't lost it like most of the others on this plane!

'Seriously!" I snarled at him, clutching my temples, the pulse of fear in my heart only increasing with every second that passed and I was already starting to feel dizzy on my feet.

He laughed, absolutely unapologetic and I was driven to an extent where I was indeed hoping all of us would crash. I won't have to deal with such epic problematic people anymore.

"You're so cute!" He chuckled and I felt the back of my neck burn with mortification as annoyance settled in. I could already feel a high intensity panic attack fast approaching me and I was extremely close to a nervous breakdown, this wasn't the moment to mess with me.

"Does he know?" He leaned down and whispered in my ear conspiratorially and I did a double take, staring up at him in shock before I realized that this wasn't unexpected. He knew. Of course he hadn't missed the dramatic display of the Hulk and a part of me was glad because this meant he was just harmlessly flirting while the other half of me groaned under the pressure of this added tension.
