Hello readers!
I just want to say that this story (and the "When in..." stories that might follow) are inspired by true events. I came up with this story when I was in Greece last summer and started writing it then.
This story will have slow updates (just so you know) but I hope you'll read it anyway.
I hope you'll like it!
Thank you for reading! ❤

WHEN IN GREECE
'You okay?' Leah Sundström's father mouthed as he looked back at her from a few seats ahead.
Slowly, Leah turned her heart shaped head to gaze at the broad man beside her with a bald head and a large beer belly who took up almost half of her own seat. She had heard earlier how he and the man beside him - who was just as broad, had just as big of a beer belly like the other but wasn't bald, he had brown hair instead - talked about sex unashamedly. Leah didn't want to hear any of it, so she forced her ears to tune it out. It was hard however, as they were seated beside her and kept talking about his conquest.
Forming a convincing smile on her lips, Leah turned towards her father and smiled as she gave him the thumbs up only to ease his worries about her sitting there away from her family since she didn't get a seat beside them.
"My back is hurting so much after the laid from yesterday. God, that girl was so easy and I could do whatever the hell I wanted with her." The two men beside her laughed together while Leah felt disgusted by their words.
No. She thought. I'm not okay. Leah thought this flight was going to be too long if she had to sit beside these men. So to solve that problem, she reached for her headphones in her bag on the floor and plugged them into her ears, not wanting to know about the positions he and that easy slut - as he disgustingly called her - had sex in and how great it was. So great apparently that his back's hurting and he also explained to his friend how she practically limped home after.
Yes, this is definitely going to be a long flight... she thought again and sighted.
Putting her phone on flight mode after the flight attendants informed them of the emergency exits, she then pressed play on her relaxing playlist called Fallen, that consist of Ed Sheeran, Oceanship, Ron Pope and Mat Kearney. As it's 6 in the morning and she hasn't slept anything at all since they left for the Airport at 2, she felt as if she really needed something relaxing that hopefully can put her to sleep.
Taking a last look at her parents, siblings and their own children, Leah finally closed her eyes and hoped for a relaxing flight towards Greece, Crete, as she listened to the first song on the playlist.
The flight wasn't peaceful though as the children cried from the pressure as the plane lifted and the loud talking of the two men beside her continued. And it didn't get better when the food and drinks arrived and the two men beside her ordered four beers... each. The stench overwhelmed her - hating the smell of the yellow-like liquid - so she never manage to fall asleep like she wanted.
So when the plane finally landed, she couldn't even explain how ecstatic she was.
One after another, they all left the plane and was met with the hot rays from the burning sun in the tropical country. Compared to Sweden - where Leah and her family comes from - this was pure heaven. They left the season summer behind, but it wasn't the weather of summer. It's been raining nonstop, as if fall started right after spring and no one had the chance to enjoy the feel of the sun on their skin.
