Tough Love [COMPLETE]

#9

Luis~ 

"Welcome to Amsterdam, hope you enjoyed flying with us as much as we did you and hope you fly again with us soon." I finish off the speech to the cabin. 

"Well, that was good.." Shelly says, still pissed off with me, as much as I want to care, I don't... not since we had the past.

"Good to hear praise. We have to fly back to Frankfurt in a hour, you can go to the terminal if you want." I say, putting on my coat, was getting to be a very cold autumn.

"Don't you want to come with?" She gets up and follows me out of the cockpit. 

"No thanks, I've got a call to make and some other things." 

"Like staying away from me?" She crosses her arms.

I walk throughout the cabin and turn around to see she's still here. "What do you want me to say? That I'm happy to see you?" 

"Well, it's a start!" 

"You cheated on me through out the relationship, I can't say I'm happy as hell to see you coming to work where I'm working Shelly." 

She stops me from walking off the plane and sighs. "Luis, I made a mistake, and I know that. Can't you just forgive the past?" 

"No, I can't. Now excuse me."

I jog down the stairs and into the terminal.

Celine~ 

"I'm off for a break." I tell Smith. 

"See you in 5!" 

I rush towards the break room and poor myself a mug of coffee, it might have been a slow and short time since I started work, but I needed coffee for the rest of my shift. My phone buzzes and I look at the caller ID... Luis :)

"Hey." I answer quickly. "How's the weather in Amsterdam?" 

"... Wet." 

I laugh. "So, not that great as usual?" 

"Not with the pilot I'm with.." 

"Come on, must be better than the ex I have in my past. I mean, much better." I say. 

"Shelly isn't even trying to make the situation between us bearable. She did the fucking check list without me, aka, captain, present." He says, I guess he'll need smoothing when he comes back.. ;)

"Try to be calm, Luis. I bet she's trying to get under your skin for a reason. What about you don't let her get to you?" 

"I feel much better when I'm there with you, to be truthful." 

I freeze, and sit on the sofa in the room.. he just said...

"Good to know.." I almost whisper. "Same goes to you." 

"I have my flight back to Frankfurt in a hour." 

"I'll see you then...?" 

"I am going to fly to Moldova half a hour after coming back... so... I guess if you're having a break then, I'll check in." 

I smile... I just wanted to hang out even more with him... makes me feel happy to be around him, dammit, I'm turning too sweet. 

"I finish work in half a hour, or so. As I worked a night shift yesterday.. I get hours off the list." 

"Do you want to have a coffee at the airport?" 

"I'd enjoy it, again." 

He chuckles. "I've got to get some things done, I'll see you soon."
