Always//Tanner Fox

26

We sat on the plane while it violently pinned me to the seat as we took off. I'm excited but I still feel guilty about tanner paying for everything. This was going to be a long flight so I made myself comfortable then I pulled out my laptop and earbuds. I handed one to tanner and I put the other in my ear. I pressed play and the movie began to start.

"What are we watching?" He whispered quietly

"Stand by me"

"Of course we are" he chuckled

"What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing" he said kissing my cheek. "I would love to watch stand by me with you anytime"

I smiled to myself and looked out the window until I heard the narrators voice come through the headphones. I turned my attention back to the screen and watched the whole movie with my head on tanners shoulder and his head resting on mine.

By the time the movie was over, there was still about nine hours to go. I handed tanner my laptop so he could edit his video and I closed my eyes. I hadn't gotten much sleep before because I was too busy getting everything ready, so it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

After what felt like a twenty minute nap, the flight attendant announced that we would be landing in five minutes.

"Damn how long was I out?" I asked looking around somewhat confused

"About eight and a half hours" tanner laughed "you are such a silent sleeper, the flight attendant asked me if you were okay"

"Wow" I said putting on my seatbelt and waited for the bumpy landing

When the plane landed, we waited patiently to get off. After we made it off the plane, we went to baggage claim and got our bags.

The ride to the hotel was quiet, mainly because the driver was about our age and I didn't feel like making tanner jealous or angry by small talk so I just kept quiet. The car came to a complete stop and tanner paid the driver as we got out of the car.

This is my first actual vacation and the feeling I have is unexplainable. It feels like an escape, but it's an escape I didn't pay for. I hate it when he buys me things, I feel like I owe him.

The first few days, we are using as a vacation and the last day is being spent entirely with Maddie. She is one of the most important fans that I can think of. We owe her everything.

The doors of the hotel opened so we stepped through and made our way to the man standing behind the big white counter.

After we got our key, a man helped us to our room and I thanked him politely then we got settled in. This is our home for the week.
