24 Hours.

1.0 - fifties

10:00 AM

"You have to be kidding me," Skylar groaned. She had been arguing with the man behind the service desk for the past twenty minutes, and Luke hadn't left her side yet. "There has to be some way for me to get to Australia - tonight."

"I'm sorry, Miss, there's nothing we can do. The next flight to Australia isn't going to be here until tomorrow morning." The man said. He was staring at a computer screen, typing away.

"Excuse me, tomorrow morning?" Luke barged in to the conversation for the first time, not believing what he was hearing either. He wanted to get home just as bad as Skylar did, maybe even more. He wasn't going to sleep in an airport all night, did anyone here realize how gross that is?

"We usually don't even fly international out of this airport, so we need to fly in a plane all the way from Australia to take you back." The man behind the desk, Marcus, explained.

"That's fucking stupid! Just get one of your own planes and fly it to Australia!" Luke shouted, not understanding.

"I'm afraid it doesn't work that way." Marcus said.

"You better fucking hope that it doesn't work that way because I swear to God if I find out you're bullshitting us I'll - " Luke grumbled, keeping his voice down so Marcus didn't hear every word that he said. He didn't want to get in trouble for using that kind of language in here, he was already in enough trouble as it is.

"Luke," Skylar put a hand on Luke's shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"Fuck off." Luke whispered, shaking her off of him. He was even beginning to get frustrated with Skylar, even though he really wished he hadn't.

"Look, I'm sorry guys, but there isn't anything more I can do for you. You'll just have to wait." Marcus apologized again, making Luke roll his eyes.

"But I need to get to Australia tonight." Skylar demanded. She slammed her hands down on the desk in front of her, no longer messing around.

"She needs to get to Australia tonight." Luke mimicked her actions, which earned a small laugh from Marcus, who quickly covered that up.

"I'm really sorry, guys, but I can't do anything. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow morning." Marcus shrugged.

"Listen, Marc - can I call you Marc?" Luke paused to laugh for a second, at the look on Skylar's face. "My friend here, Sky, -"

"Skylar." She corrected him.

"Quiet." Luke hissed. "Sky needs to get to Australia tonight, so if there's any way you can get her on a private plane somehow, fly her out there, that'd be great."

Luke reached into his back pocket and pulled out a few bills from his wallet, not pausing to look at how much he had grabbed. He slid the bills towards Marcus, who eyed them suspiciously.

"Oops, you don't need that big of a tip." Luke let out a small giggle as he took one of the hundred dollar bills back, leaving two for Marcus.

"Look, man, I can't take this from you. There's no way I can get you on a plane tonight, sorry." Marcus pushed the money back towards Luke and sent Skylar and apologetic look.

"Do you have any idea who I am?" Luke yelled. He walked around the end of the desk so he was now face to face with Marcus, who looked extremely startled by Luke's sudden actions. Luke grabbed Marcus by the collar of his white button up shirt and yanked him closer.

"What are you - " Skylar tried to interject, but Luke ignored her once again.

"Put us on a plane right now or so help me God I will - " Luke said quietly, which was actually scarier than Luke yelling in the first place.

"Luke! Stop it!" Skylar ran around the desk and grabbed Luke by the hood of his sweatshirt, that he had finally taken down. He figured that since they were in the middle of no where now he was safe from paparazzi. Skylar dragged Luke backwards, finally taking Marcus out of his misery.

"You can't just do that to people." Skylar groaned, pulling Luke off to the side.

"I was trying to help you." Luke said quietly. He looked down, desperately wanting to grab onto Skylar's hands again. He couldn't shake that feeling, the feeling that he had gotten the first time she touched him. He wanted to feel it again, he wanted to feel her again.

"You've obviously got a few issues, I don't think that I'm the one that needs helping." Skylar scoffed.

"I don't have issues, Sky, I just wanted to try and get you to Australia on time. I know that it means a lot to you." Luke let out a groan, throwing his head back. He was just tying to be nice for once in his life.

Luke still didn't know why it was so important for Skylar to get to Australia by tonight, but he was thinking that maybe if he was nice enough to her she would agree to meet up with him whenever they finally did get back to Sydney. Skylar had to lose her virginity someday, and Luke was determined to be the one to take it.

"We're literally in the middle of no where, what are we going to do?" Skylar whined.

"I tried for you, Sky, I really did." Luke said. That was his way of saying sorry to her, since he didn't feel like it was something he should have been apologizing for. He figured that it wouldn't be so bad waiting for a new plane to come, as long as he was waiting with Skylar.

"I know. Thanks, I guess." She said, looking uncomfortable. It looked like it was actually causing her pain to say that to Luke.

"So, what are we going to do?" Luke asked.

"I guess we'll just have to wait it out." She shrugged. Luke could tell that she was trying to be strong about this, whatever was waiting for her back in Sydney must have been a pretty big deal. Luke had never seen anyone get so upset about a delayed flight before.

"We should try and make the best of it." Luke reached out for Skylar and finally grasped her hands in his, successfully linking his fingers with hers.

"I'm not having sex with you in a bathroom, Luke." Skylar laughed.

"Can I buy you a coffee?" Luke asked, dipping his head down lower to meet Skylar's.

"With one of your many one hundred dollar bills?" Skylar bit her bottom lip, and Luke suddenly wanted to fuck her right there. He could hardly control himself anymore, he needed this girl.

"I have a few fifties in there too." Luke smirked, pulling Skylar off into the direction of the nearest coffee shop.
