Tough Love [COMPLETE]

#3

Celine~ 

"Zo!" I take my bag and rush over to the check in desks, she laughs and hands me our house keys. 

"Forgot them again?" She asks me.

Yeah.. we live together, in a pent house, might I happily add. 

"Or I love running to check in desks to you everyday I finish my shift?" I wince. 

"I'm laughing on the inside honey." She giggles and goes behind the desk. "I'll see you later." 

"How long is your shift?" 

"The last Lufthansa flight leaves at ..." She looks at the computer. "10pm." She smiles.

"Well, 4 more hours can't hurt." I point out. 

"Or it could." 

"Hang in there." I laugh and tap her arm. "Call me when you're done, I might have wine." 

"At 10 in the night?" 

"It's Friday." I wink, and walk off. 

 I arrive home half a hour later, I live in Frankfurt, and from my place, in the center to the airport didn't take long, the pro's of the job. I hear my phone ring and I pick up immediately, shutting the front door with my leg at the same time. 

"Lopez?" I answer. 

"This is your best friend... what the hell?" 

I laugh. "I didn't read the ID." 

"Of course you didn't. I'm going to leave in a hour from here, the last flight was canceled." 

"Did you by any chance do something to the plane or what?" 

"I flirted with the captain." 

I laugh. "You wish." 

"Captain, Luis Durand is hot, okay? Plus, I think he's single.." 

"I'm hoping not, for your sake." I say.

"Not for me dumb ass... for you!"

"You're kidding me, no fucking way mate. I'm not dating a captain." I huff. "Work life and personal life are meant to be separate."

"Talk for yourself." 

"Get back to work.." I mumble.

"See you babes." She giggles and hangs up. 

God, that girl... plus, I didn't even know this Luis Durand.

Luis~

"Get out the check list Sam?" I smile at him. "We're home.." 

"Flight attendants." 

"Notified." 

"Gear lever." 

"Down, and all green." 

"Speed breaks." 

"Armed." 

"Flaps." 

"Green light.." 

Sam finishes up the check list, and we land the plane smoothly on the runway. We're both glad to be back home after Malta and Amsterdam.. We get to the gate next and the Attendants get the cabin ready. Then after the landing check, we move onto the parking check list.. and we always thought it was long enough XD

"Flight attendant advisory." Sam starts off. 

"Non-sterile."

"Taxi light." 

"Off." 

"Timer." 

"Reset." 

"Parking breaks." 

"Set." 

"Electrical system." 

"Set, APU avail on." 

We go along the list till the last 3...

"Air conditioning." 

"Off." 

"FMC." 

"Clear routes." 

"Exterior lights." 

"Off." 

"Parking check list complete." Sam shuts the book.

"One more." I tisk towards Sam.

"These are the times I hate flying, the check lists." He laughs.

"Passengers have un-boarded." Clare, a flight attendant comes in. 

"Let's check this off and get the sleep we need.." I sigh. 

"You handle the check list, I'm going to the cabin." 

"Good enough for me." 

Evac signal, emergency lights, packs, electrical system, APU, Standby power and battery all off. 

"You coming mate." Sam pokes his head in, grinning. "We're done here, right?" 

"I need coffee..." I groan, getting out of the chair. 

"You shouldn't, if I we're you. I'd knock the caffeine off and get the rest." 

We walk to the terminal and I take off my cap. "Yeah.. but it doesn't really matter to me, I'm off from work tomorrow." 

"Lucky bastard..." 

I chuckle. "Who are you flying with?" I ask. 

"I don't even know.." He mumbles. "Too tired to remember." 

"You want a ride home, mate?" 

"Nope, got my car. See you!" 

"Have a good night's sleep." I nod.
