after party

the flight.

Dee's POV

I look at Trent. Dang. Two wins in one day? He can be my worker any day he wants. I quickly look down at my phone again. I felt him looking at me but ignored it, I grabbed my earbuds and put them in for the rest of the drive.

We arrive at the airport and Trent and Jermaine get the bags out, I grab my backpack and put it on and start to roll my own suitcase. Trent grabs it for me, "I got it ma, you good." I just laughed a little and went inside.

After going through security and stuff, we just waited around for our flight to be called. I asked Jermaine to go get some Wendy's or something before the flight took off but he still hasn't come back. Trent and I are sitting in the chairs waiting for him and I feel a nudge on my elbow. I take out an earbud and look at Trent. "Wassup?" He shows me his phone and it's on the screen to add a contact. I laugh at him then take out the other earbud. "Trent, give me one reason why I should put my number in your phone." He shrugs, "Wellllll, what if one of us get's lost in here and we need to call one another?" I look at him. "I can always call Jermaine." He laughs. "What if Jermaine's phone is dead?" I sigh and then grab his phone, putting my number in it. When I finish, I give it back. "Don't text me on no dumbness either." He just laughs.

We board the plane an hour later and Jermaine and I got seats together, but Trent is a few rows back. We're waiting for the plane to take off and my phone goes off. A text from Trent. I roll my eyes.

I try to write about my victory on the way home but I'm having a hard time, I just decide to sleep the rest of the way. When we get off of the flight, we go to the baggage claim to wait on our bags. Still tired, I yawn. My phone buzzes, I look down at it:

t:cute
d: don't look too much

I look up at him and playfully roll my eyes then lock my phone. We get our bags and get into the car that'll take us home. "Trent, you live in Baltimore?" I ask. He nods, "Yeah JD hired workers outta everybody city to make the trips easier." I look back out of my window and doze off until we pull up at my house. I get out and walk to the trunk. Trent has my suitcase out for me and gives me the handle. I grab it and give him a side hug. "Thanks, for helping and stuff." He smiles, " Oh you're welcome, congratulations by the way." I smile and open the front door, revealing the party that was waiting for me.
