Cigarettes, Sarcasm and the Complications of the Real World

13

The plane ride was lonely. Me and Will started off talking but then the chat became awkward and died out.

So much shit was racing through my head, every time I thought about mine and Wills kiss my stomach knotted with excitement and regret. It was the best and the worst moment of my life, it felt undoubtedly wrong and right at the same time. Resentment for the predicament Will had put me in built up so much anger for him in my mind. I tried to chill out, but I couldn't stop thinking.

I decided to walk to the plane bathroom, I didn't even need to pee but I just wanted to escape my thoughts for a second. Having to clamber over Will's lap to get out of my seat was an awkward task.

I walked along the gap between the seats staring blankly at all the families, businessmen and other plane travellers until my stride was broken by a hand grab my upper leg.
"Hey." Lucas smirked up at me from his seat.
"Get off me please" I sigh.
"Heyy what?! Thought we were friends now!"
"And what exactly made you think that?" I glared. My mood and opinion of Lucas had returned to his pre drunk-park-chat.
"I was your knight in shining armour earlier wasn't I? Fighting Will for you. Think that definitely deserves a quicky in the toilet" he winked.
"You're vile." I spat and continue with my journey.

As soon as I reached the bathroom door it opened quickly and slammed me in the eye.
"Shit! Fuck!" I shouted in pain.
Katie emerged from the door, looked me up and down and laughed.
Bitch.

The tears instantly began to roll down my face as soon as the door closed. I wanted everything to just go back to playing knights on the field. I was so mad at myself for making things change. So mad for wanting Will. Because I did want Will, I wanted everything about him. His humour, his kindness, his cheekyness. I wanted him to kiss my neck and touch my body and lie with me. Knowing that would never happen, or at least should never happen killed me. But there's no way that me and Will could be together. And I was stupid for even thinking about him like that.

I pulled myself together, dried my tears and went back to my seat. Will looked up and me, tilted his head slightly, took one headphone out and gave it to me. I knew he knew I'd been crying, he always did. His hand began to dance over mine, playing with my fingers until finally it rested, intertwined with mine. We spent the rest of the journey like that.

Arriving in Washington was complicated because of the schools shitty planning. The car never arrived to take us to our hotel so we were waiting on the side of the road for 2 hours until another one got there. We all wanted to catch a cab but apparently that wasn't "school board approved" and we had to wait for an "official student safely motor to arrive". By the time we got to the hotel we were all so hungry we all launched into the hotel buffet.

I sat down with my plate of food with a huge smile on my face. Will plonked down next to me.
"Feeling better now?" He smiled giving my leg a bit of a squeeze under the table.
"Much better" I smiled back. "They have cheesy mash potato! What more could a girl ask for?!"
Will laughed. "Listen, Harry, lets just go back to normal yeah? My ego has become extremely large in your absence due to your lack of insults and that's never a good thing."
"Ah well let me fill you in then..." I proceeded to rant for exactly 7 minutes about how much of a man whore slut dosh bag he was until I was satisfied.
"There, I feel significantly less cocky now. Thanks bro." Will chuckled.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

My eyes unwelcomely opened as I was woken up from my dreams of eating a truck lodes of pizza was interrupted. I slumped out of my comfy hotel bed and answered the door.

Will stood at the door in his boxers, chiselled chest on show, my heart involuntarily speed up. "Can I come in?" He whispered.
"Why?!" I groaned sleepily.
"I can't sleep and I want a cuddle." He replied with puppy dog eyes.
I sighed. "Will we said we'd go back to normal..."
"I promise no funny business! Please Harry?" He interrupted.
I rolled my eyes and opened the door wider for him to get in. I jumped in bed, trying to hid my Hello Kitty underwear with my sweater. Will slipped in behind me so we were spooning. We were so close to each other I could feel his crotch resting on my butt, I was trying so hard not to get tingles. He moved his hand under my sweater and rested it on my bare waist just like the other times, his other hand was underneath my body wrapped around me. Our legs moved to become intertwined. My heart was beating so fast.
'Are we going to kiss again?!' I thought 'or maybe more than kiss?'
But for the rest of the night nothing happened. We just fell asleep, holding each other tight.
It was the best nights sleep of my life.
