Mom, was excited pondering over the clothes provided by Mrs Rosewood. Her eyes sparkled in happiness, she was examining the clothes for the fifth time now. Shany pulled on of the large tank top over her head which mommy snatched away stating it might get spoilt. Shany shrieked with tantrums again. I lay on my bed, wondering how a single phone call elated my miserable life.

Suddenly my phone rang,

"Elle,... "his voice rang

"Yeah, Mike"i replied

"excited aren't you?"he asked.

"scared is the right word, Aren't you scared? "I asked

"if I deny, it would be a lie.I would never lie to you my dear....a little anticipation does prevail"he replied.

A quiet silence followed.... Then

"good night,cant wait to see you beautiful" he said

Isnt he a bit cheesy or am I imagining stuffs.I drifted into a dreamless sleep before any further thoughts can embrace me.

At last here I stand in the airport with Mike at my side and Mrs Rosewood accompanied us.
Dad bid me goodbye. Mom was not able to send me off as she stayed back home as my little siblings were crying their eyes out on the prospect of separation from me for a few days.
But my little Ruben had just silent tears which broke my heart and indeed made me realise how much he means to me.

It was my first flight, I found myself sitting next to Mike. Mrs Rosewood's seat was somewhere behind. Sitting next to Mike in an international flight in a peach top and blue jean,it appears more like a day dream come true.

Our little town faded away fast .I drifted into a slumber. I wake up to find my head resting on Mike's shoulder. I shrugged, Mike eyelids slowly dragged open seeing me he smiled, pulled me closer and slept.

It might have appeared romantic but not so comfortable when you desperately want to pee. I had to wake him up,i shook him ...what he asked annoyed, can you take your hand? I asked.
"I won't "he replied.
Pulling me closer and again drifting to sleep." I need to go to washroom Mike "I whispered in his ears.
His lips broke into a smile but still he feigned as if asleep...

"please Mike "I urged.
He smiled slowly relieving me from his grip.
I ran to washroom.
I can hear Mike stiff laughter behind me.
