A Disaster in Paradise

Chapter 2

Sophia

"Soph!? Sophia wake up!" I open my bright green eyes and see Jay is looking down at me. His face fills with worry.

"What? What's wrong?" I notice all four of our seats are reclined, and my head is lying on Jay's chest with my hands turned into fists gripping his t-shirt.

"You gripped my shirt and you started to shake. Did you have a bad dream Soph?" He looks at me and starts to caress my shoulder.

I pull up my blanket and look up at him. "I... I'll be fine. Don't worry about it. How much time do we have until we land?" I yawn, wanting to know if it was worth going back to sleep.

"We have three and a half hours. Go back to sleep." He puts his arm around me and I slowly drift back to sleep, feeling safe in his arms.

"Lovebirds." Someone was shaking my shoulder, but I couldn't open my eyes.

"They look peaceful. Maybe we should just leave them alone."

"But we are almost there, and I know Sophia wants to see the city before we land."

I finally yawn and I still don't want to move.

"And looks like you had a vey nice nap buddy." I recognize the voice as Jacob's.

"Shut up." I sit up with Jay's shoulder still wrapped around my arm. "We are just friends. And always will be." I give an uneasy smile.

"You guys are basically the exact same person but in different genders."

Trying not to disturb Jay, I slowly move his smooth arm off of my shoulder.  Loosing the warmth and the safe feeling he gave me, I sigh.

"Well then." I whisper, loud enough for Jacob and the others to hear. "How much longer?"

"Ten minutes." Jacob motions towards the screen.

"Hey sleepy head.." I turn to Jay, who looks perfect."Thanks for helping me calm down. I had a bad dream.. and you made me feel safe." I shift my eyes to his hands hiding my emotions.

"Hey, no problem. I'm here for you." I look to see his soft smile.

Olivia turns to us. " I know you wanted to see the city before we landed.. we're almost there. So... here is Honolulu!?!"

I look out the window to reveal vibrant colors and beautiful flowers. Jay hugs my body as he leans over to look out the window. I smile nervously.

"So this is where we will be for the next month." Jay leans in closer. I feel his breath.

"Yeah... It's beautiful.." I feel something. I don't know what it is. But I feel something..

***
All of us get our luggage and we exit the plane. Jay offers to carry some of my bags, as I packed way too many.

Soon we board a light blue charter bus, that was the perfect size for us.

We arrive. The Hilton in Honolulu.

A grand staircase, and huge windows catch my eye. I glance to the others who are as amazed as I am.

"This is paradise." Jacob says.

Isaac and Jay gesture the ladies to the door.

"Well, thank you." I curtsy playfully.

I tell the desk clerk my name and she hands me my two room cards.
