Takeoff//e.g.d

III

 Walking into that airplane I felt my stomach turn into knots. Ethan stood behind me consumed in what seemed like an interesting conversation with Grayson. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and swiftly typed in my passcode to call my mom and tell her that I was about to board. I clicked on her name and held the phone up against my ear. It rang for a few seconds but then I heard her voice on the other end of the line.

"Finally I was waiting for you to call me!" I could sense the humor in her voice so I didn't take it seriously.

"Im sorry Ma," I thought about telling her about Ethan and Grayson but I didn't want Ethan to know so I hoped with my whole heart that he couldn't understand Spanish. "¿Sabes que me paso en el aeropuerto?(you know what just happened to me in the airport)" She knows I only speak Spanish on the phone when its a classified conversation. She grew interested and egged me on to finish telling her the story.

"¿Requerdas los gemelos verdad? Te dije que yo me iba casar con uno de ellos.(You remember the twins? I told you that i was going to marry one of them.)" She starts to freak out a little bit and I quickly tell her to calm down or else she'll blow it. I turn around to face Ethan and Grayson and they both look at me with confused eyes and their hands tilted slightly to the left. I wasn't sure if they noticed that they were both making the same gesture. I smiled at them and mouthed the word mom to them and they nodded their head understanding. I went back and her that I was with the real Ethan and Grayson but I made sure to slur my words slightly and talk fast so they would have no idea what I was talking about. I hung up and turned my attention back to the twins.

"So you didn't want to mention that you speak Spanish too?" Ethan looked at me with amazement in his eyes. Grayson saw this and shook his head. Im definitely going to ask him about that later.

"Well for the record, you never really asked" I shrugged my shoulders and scooted up in the line that was taking about 5 years. I just wanted to find my seat and take a long nap. I continued to make small talk with Grant. You could tell we were both bored out of our minds. Grayson was mesmerized by his phone, probably texting his girlfriend. As time went on we finally were able to get our seats. Let me tell you, first class was so lavish. I know it was going to be nice but not like this! Ethan showed me to our seats and I put my backpack under my chair so I would be able to use my laptop later in the flight. I sit down and get comfy. I look over and find Ethan quietly arguing with Grayson. I shrug it of thinking its just some brotherly banter. I open up my phone again and text the girls that I was about to leave and that I would let them know when I landed in London. I figured I should send out my snapchat streaks because I didn't want to lose any due to the long flight ahead of me. I switch on the first camera and started playing with the filters. I found the basic dog one and start trying to find a decent pose. I could see Ethan slowly creeping up on me through my phone screen and he photobombed the picture. I turned around and showed him the picture as we both shared a laugh.

"Oh my gosh I look like a turtle! Send me that" Tears of laughter started to accumulate at the corner of his eyes. I saved the picture and went to send it to him when I realized I didn't really have a way to send it to him since I'm a "stranger" in his eyes.

"Hey Grant, I'm gonna need your number if you want that picture." I slightly shook my phone around and had an obvious smirk on my face which he caught.

"Are you trying to get my number Olivia?" His face reciprocated that same smirk that landed around my face seconds before.

"Maybe I am. Maybe Im not" He lifted his eyebrow and continued to look at me the same way. If I wasn't sitting I most likely would have fallen because the way he looked at me make my knees completely weak. I hoped he didn't noticed the effect he actually had over my mind and body. He took my phone and added his contact with the name "Daddy Grant👅💦" And a pretty sexy improv contract picture. When saw the name he set I busted out laughing and the people around me told me to be quiet. I sent him the picture and commented"wow who's the cutie on the left" and he replies "my baby girl😏" I turned to my left and looked at him like what the heck did you just say? All he did was smirk at me. I quickly replied with " hm good try. maybe next time bud". I instantly felt bad, because he thinks I completely friend zoned him with is the complete opposite of what I actually feel for him. I sent the snapchat of Ethan and I to my streaks with the caption "Im off to London and I already made a new friend(:" The flight attendant came to where Ethan and I were and she informed us that we were about to take off. We put on our seat belts and listened to the security procedures.

As the orientation came to an end, the knots in my stomach came back but now they were stronger than ever. I looked over at Grant with a hint a fear in my eyes. I tried to mask it by giving him a weak smile. But even though we have only really known each other for only a couple of hours he could already see right through me. I felt so vulnerable whenever I was around him. I knew it was way to soon for me to be feeling this way. But Ethan read me like an open book. He looked at my nervous state with soft eyes and grabbed my hand. I instantly relaxed to his touch. A warmth consumed my body with that simple contact. I felt my body lean into him for comfort. The plane began to speed up and I shut my eyes. Grant rubbed small circles on my hand as the plane took off. I didn't believe stuff like that actually worked until now. i squeezed his hand tight as the plane was lifted into the air. I opened my eyes once I felt the plane level out and looked out the window and waved goodbye to the only country I knew. I looked back at Ethan and to my surprise he was already watching me.

The plane grew quiet as people decided to sleep through the flight. Earlier, Grant convinced me to stay awake with him so I could adjust to the time zone change since London is 5 hours ahead of New York. Ethan is a huge talker. We talked about anything and everything. However, he didn't once mention social media or youtube. He really is trying to hide it from me. Not going to lie that was a little dissapointing.I feel like he knows more about me than my own best friends do which is saying a lot! I was so intrigued in the conversation. He showed me a new side of Ethan Dolan that no one new existed. He only showed us, the fans, an overview of who he is and what he's been through. I felt like I knew for years rather than hours.

Before we knew it, the english skyline was in view. I started to dance around in my seat as excitement confused every fiber of my being. Ethan laughed at my excitement but deep down he knew he was just as pumped as I was. But just then i realized what this meant. I was going to say goodbye to Ethan. We would be going our separate ways and I'm not sure I will be able to say goodbye to him for good.
