the girls of the boys

airplane food

The familiar smell of airplane food drifted towards me and I crinkled my nose at the stench. It was a cool blustery day in Chicago and the cold wind followed us into the cessna as I pulled my coat closer.

Louis came up behind me and gave my shoulders a squeeze before brushing by me and taking a seat on the faux-leather couches. Harry walked in holding Kirsten's hand and pulling her into his lap nuzzling his face in her hair. Zayn walked in carrying Becca on his back, he glanced around to find a chair before putting Becca back down on her feet. The flight attendant, Larissa, offered us drinks and warned us about take-off. Louis reached above his seat into a cabinet pulling down an airplane blanket. He pulled up his hood and lifting up the blanket he offered me a spot next to him which I gladly took cuddling under his arm. Harry had sat down on a lazy boy like chair flipping through Tiger-Beat magazine pointing out "off-guard" pictures to Kirsten and laughing. I heard Zayn call for Becca asking her to come over to him on his couch. When she walked over to him he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his lap half tickling her and half snuggling with her. I looked up as I saw Niall go shuffling by headed for Larissa, which she promptly reacted by closing the cabin door and leaving him in mock-shock.

We'd been flying for about five hours and had almost reached the UK. The boys had left us to go have their daily voice lessons leaving us girls to hangout in the cabin. We were all half watching Spongebob reruns as we layed there sprawled out all over the couches and chairs. We perched there drinking flat soda and stale pretzels that Larissa seemed to have an infinite supply of. Larissa re-entered taking a staggered step backwards at first glance of the state of the room. She promptly informed us we would be landing soon and we needed to collect ourselves.

The boys re-entered the cabin as well taking a good look at trashed plane, we all smiled innocently and promptly started tidying up. Zayn grabbed all of us Evian's and gave them to us while opening one for himself.

"Were you girls good while we were gone?" Zayn asked addressing all of us but looking directly at Becca, his chocolate brown eyes locking with hers.

"Yes, very good," she replied smiling, "we were excellent" she said emphasizing the "t" on excellent.

"For some reason I find that hard to believe," Harry piped up winking at Kirsten and nudging her in the knee with his. She gave him a feigned angry face, stuck her tongue out and poked him in the abs causing him to jump. He grinned at her, pulling her closer under his arm.

"So, um, what are we doing when we land?" I asked, I knew all of us girls had been wondering for quite a while.

"Well, if it's alright with you girls, we were just gonna go back to my flat and chill, at least for tonight," Louis said shrugging at the boys as if looking for a final approval. "That cool?" he asked turning towards me.

"Sure, whatever you want," I smiled and shrugged along with Becca and Kirsten. I knew after this tour they were beat and exhausted so if they just wanted a down night I was fine with it. I glanced around the cabin to take in my surroundings. Kirsten and Becca were both on their phones and probably checking Twitter and Instagram. Harry still had his arm securely around Kirsten and absent-mindedly drummed his fingers on his knee while staring out the window at the ever growing London skyline.

I decide to check my Twitter and Instagram too, I only have a few over two-thousand followers because my account is on private and I don't let any fan accounts follow me. Kirsten and Becca are the same way, we all try to keep any hate to a minimum since we're dating One Direction.

I look to my right because Louis had been scarily silent for the past ten minutes. When I look I see he's already asleep propping his head up with his arm. I decide to let him sleep until we land so I get up and go over to where Kirsten is sitting next to Harry.

"Hi." she said scrunching up her face and smiling at me.

"Hello." I replied mimicking her face as Becca got up and crossed the room to come over to us. Zayn must have been finishing a conversation with Walhiya so Becca retreated to us plopping down on my other side. I gave her a little wave smiling at her and Kirsten leaned over to wave too.

""Did you guys like going on tour with the boys?" I asked them looking to my right at Becca then back at Kirsten.

"Yeah it was fun!" Said Becca, "but I missed my parents and Emmett," she finished, Emmett was her bichon mix dog who she had been separated with for over 8 months.

"I liked the tour, but I'm glad to finally be going somewhere with real food that we have more than ten minutes to eat," Kirsten said laughing and licking her lips. "What did you think of the tour?" She asked addressing me.

"I liked it, but I missed stuff too," I smiled with a far away look. I felt my ears pop and I knew we were within one-thousand feet of the landing strip. Louis groggily rubbed his eyes and began to wake up shaking off his post nap confusion. Zayn looked up from his phone realizing Becca wasn't there and looked at her with a puppy dog face asking where she'd gone. She smiles and stood up to go to Zayn's open arms but ended up tripping flailing her arms and legs as she fell into Zayn. Yet he still caught her, as always and gave her a sideways kiss on the ear.
