Until I Met The World

Chapter 14

As we make our way around the airport and I'm jumping around like an idiot, I still sense Sebastian's annoyance. But that needs to stop somehow because we are in Greece, we are going to leave behind all negativity back in Florida. We don't have to deal with problems we have at home because we aren't home. I'll have to talk to him about that rule later. I decided it's a rule for this trip just now and it's a really important one.

Once we make it to luggage claim, Bash goes and picks up my suitcase first and then his.

Noticing my stomach grumbling now, I look over at Bash while struggling to carry everything.

"Do you think we can go eat soon?" I don't want to be annoying but I can't help it. We've been on that plane 12 hours and neither one of us ate because we were sleeping the whole time. I'm sure he's hungry too.

"Yeah," he says while pushing the door of the airport open and we step out "We just have to get a taxi and we'll leave our shit at the hotel then go get something to eat"

Setting my "shit" down on the ground, I come up behind Bash and hug him. My belly on his back.

"Please don't be irritated. Whatever it is, is not as important as being here. You know how much this means to me," I say still holding him.

The second that last sentence falls from my mouth, I watch his facial features loosen and I know I got to him. Circling around his body still grasping his torso, I end up hugging him belly to belly.

Slowly, he lets his arms wrap around me and I look up at him.

"Don't be a mad little puppy," he slightly chuckles at my plead and I'm rewarded with the vibration from his laugh on to my chest.

"What does that mean?" he asks me looking down at me.

On a normal day, I wouldn't admit to very briefly watching him sleep. But today's not a normal day and we aren't in the normal place.

"Earlier on the plane when you were sleeping, you looked like a cute little peaceful puppy," He laughs again.

I probably should be embarrassed by the fact he knows now that I watched him sleep but I don't mind because now he looks refreshed, happy even.

Before I can mock him for looking like a puppy, he hugs me close and tight then let's go way too soon.

"We should probably get a taxi now if we are gonna get something to eat," Sebastian declares and walks closer to the front of the airport, catching the attention of a taxi driver.

Quickly grabbing our bags, we head into the taxi and I watch as the small Mykonos airport drifts out of sight.

Sebastian's POV:

"I'm being so serious Em. You aren't, under any circumstance, riding in a taxi alone" I state with seriousness burrowing out of my voice.

"I don't want too, that dude was creepy as hell. But if I have to, I'm 17 and I will. Either way let's just hope I won't have too because Id rather be with you this whole trip." Em says easing my worry once again. Somehow she always finds the right words to say to make me feel better. I would prefer her to just listen and agree with me about avoiding the taxis but it's Em and I'm just glad she'd rather be with me than creepy old Greeks. It's an honor.

"You will be," I smile at her, using the key the hotel staff gave us and enter our suite.

It didn't take too long for us to make it to our hotel and finally we can put our stuff down and begin our day... Night? I'm actually not sure what time it is.
