Love at First Sight

chapter 6

        We arrive at the airport within 20 minutes. I am wearing a scarf, sweatpants, and a sweater very simple for the five hour flight we’re going to be on, but it’s all going to be worth it once Drew and I are in California together.

          “Flight eleven to Santa Maria, California” I hear the intercom say.

         “Well that’s us.”

          I smile at Drew. This is going to be the best vacation I will ever have. I mean California with my amazing boyfriend, on a beach house, for a week just the two of us, who knows what could happen?

          Now we’re on the plane.

          “So are you excited?” Drew asks.

          “I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited before.” I tell him.

         “I’m so happy that I’m the one that gets to make your dream come true,” He smiles at me.

         “I’m so happy that you feel that way Mr. Goods.”

         The plane is leaving now. At first I feel sick to my stomach about how high up we are, and then Drew starts holding my hand and everything feels better.

         “So since we’re on a plane ride for about five hours, we should get to know each other better, so we’ll both ask questions and then we’ll answer them. Here I’ll go first. What grade are you in Ms. Rae?”

         I start laughing and he starts talking again.

         “No okay.” He stops laughing now. I do to. “What do you like to do in your free time?”

         There are so many things. “Um I like singing, acting, talking, playing piano and guitar, and reading. What about you?”

         “Well first off, I love reading and I’m not really into sports, like I’d rather spend time with the people that matter to me, like you Casey Rae.”

         I stare admiringly at him and smile. Now, his eyes don’t seem that hazel but they seem blue like the ocean that we’re going to be walking by. Now, I see the real him, Now, I see why I really do love him.

         “Well I have an idea.” He says “Since we both like reading, would you like me to read to you Casey Rae?”

         “Of course.” I smile at him.

         “You don’t care what book?”

          “Nope as long as you are reading, I’m fine.” I’m not that picky when it comes to stuff like this, I’m just glad he’s with me.

         So he starts reading a book to me, It’s called I’ll love you forever and always by Jeannette Leroy. This story seems like us, Forever and always.

         The seats on this plane are really nice, they’re in the form of a couch, and not just seats. While Drew is reading the book to me, I lay down on his lap and close my eyes, imagining the story in my head.

          I feel the plane start to slow down, we are in California.

         Drew and I get a cab to take us to the house. On our way to the house, we lie next to each other and rest.

        I had fallen asleep, I hear the cab door open and I know we’re here. I decide I want Drew to wake me up so I keep closing my eyes. A minute later I hear my door open and then a tap on my shoulder.

         “Hey Casey, we’re here.” I start to get up but then he tells me to wait. He then puts a blind fold over my eyes. He takes all of the bags out of the trunk.

         He guides me forward, backward, left, and right until we get to the door, I smell the sea -salt -misted air. He opens the door and steers me inside. Then Drew pulls the blindfold off.

         This beach house is huge. It has a full size kitchen and living room. Then we go out to the porch, the ocean is right there. Drew and I hold hands tightly. I see a future, and I’ve never felt this before with anybody! Like I said before when I saw him, sparks flew. I keep myself from crying again because this is amazing I couldn’t have asked for any better.

         We go back inside and run up the stairs. There’s a bathroom a guest room and a master room with a balcony. 

 Drew and I go and lay down on the bed, and he starts kissing me. It’s a long kiss that I’ve been waiting for my whole life. It feels so good for him to be with me right now. I know it’s not right because he’s not property of anybody, but I feel that if any girl went up to him and started flirting, I would knock her senseless. Drew is mine, and I am his, Forever and always.
