Nelly's POV

I WAKE UP from a small pat on my shoulder from Lyn. Groaning, I open my eyes to see her smiling at me.

"Lyn? What? I'm sleeping." I say snuggling deeper into my seat. So suddenly it's softer, warmer and smells greater than it did when I first came. It is only when Lyn rushes back to her seat giggling I realize I'm not leaning on my seat.

I'm leaning on Xavier's chest and his arm is around my waist.

HOW ON EARTH DID THIS HAPPEN! I'm thinking frantically on what to do to get out of this situation. I decide I should just slowly move out from his arms. Using my hand to remove his from my waist, I push myself out of his chest. Just as I'm about to declare success for moving off him without waking him up, he grabs me by the waist and shoves me back into his chest once again. Now Lyn is giggling hysterically.

"Bitch!" I whisper yell " if you don't help me!"

I glare at her half-praying that Xavier wakes up and sees what's happening. My prayer is answered when there's a small bump on the plane waking him up with a funny little snort. I suddenly want to giggle at how he woke up. He sleepily looks at me then closes his eyes. He then opens them again but this time wider and he just stares.
"Uh",I say awkwardly, "can you..."

"Yeah! Um...sure" he says speaking quickly and moves his hand off me. I quickly move myself off him and pretend I'm reading something important on my phone. I hate such moments.

The flight attendant comes with food and I sigh with relief. I'm so hungry I could eat almost anything. Almost. She puts the food down in front of me and I request grape juice. As she fills up my glass, I take a bite of the food and it's actually not that bad, it's good. I force myself not to eat like a maniac and clear my plate. I look over at Xavier and he only ate half of his food and pushed it away.

I shake my head thinking of the rules back at home. You weren't allowed to leave the table until your plate was clear. And everyone had to wait for you to finish so you'll be getting glares from all directions. I smile at the thought of my family as tears build up in my eyes and I try to blink them back.

"Are you okay?" Xavier asks noticing my sniffles.

"Yeah!" I quickly say forcing a smile.

"Where are you from?" He asks looking genuinely interested

"I'm from South Africa" I say, "why?"

"Where's the accent?" He asks and I giggle.

"Not everyone has the accent," I say " we have good English teachers too you know."

Xavier chuckles and we engage in a topic about South Africa's government.

"I'm so glad he's not president anymore." I say and Xavier laughs

"He was shit huh?" He says in between his laughter.

"Super shit!" I say beginning to laugh as well. Xavier stops laughing and just watches as I take a sip of water.

"What?" I ask smiling.

"Nothing." He says and I catch his eye, he gives me this cute smirk and I feel a tiny tingle inside, "nothing."

🌸**********************************🌸
We've landed. Finally! I put my my phone in my hoodies pocket after finishing an werewolf book on Wattpad(Alpha's Oracle. Amazing book). Sighing I make an attempt to stand but nothing happens.

"Shit!" I whisper to myself. My legs have fallen asleep. Why? Why? I hit my legs hard but that only does half the job. I manage to stand up but I'll need help.

"Lyn!" I call out but what ever she's talking about with 'Caribbean blue eyes' is way too important.

"Are you okay?" Xavier asks looking worried.

"Yeah-uh-no um... my legs are kinda asleep." I say and wait for him to laugh at me and walk away but he walks towards me with a smile on his face. I stumble backwards trying to move away from him.

"Chill", He says laughing "I'm just trying to help"

"Oh, okay then." I say

"C'mon." He says putting his arm round my waist and I put mine around his neck. We walk to the exit. The flight attendant gives me a worried look and I smile at her.

"My legs fell asleep." I say. She smiles and watches us walk down the set of stairs. It's not easy but we make it down. By then my legs feel better by then so I can actually walk now. I see Lyn walking towards me with that guy following and I glare at her.

"Sorry I wa-" I cut her off dragging her by the arm to a place where the guys can't hear us.

"What's his name?" I ask with a smile

"What?" She asks looking confused.

"You know!" I say. "The guy"

"Oh!" She says in realization and starts blushing, "Jake"

"Aww how cute!" I say and she smiles.

"So is you and that other guy!" She says. "What's his name?"

"Xavier," I say starting to blush. What th-

"Ooh girl!"

"Aye we have to go, our driver might be waiting."

"Okay"

We finally get our luggage after a great deal of pain. There was so much luggage you could barely tell what's yours. We had to stand there for a long time watching other people receive their suitcases, but the guys came through and found it for us.

We go through extra boring formalities and now we're done with that. Now we have to find our driver. We look everywhere until we find a middle aged man wearing a casual uniform. He's holding a paper with our names on it. Just as we're about to walk towards him Xavier stops us.

"Hey um...would you like to hang out sometime." He says awkwardly looking down.

"Sure! Why not?" I say grinning widely.

"Nice!" He says pumping his fist in the air and I giggle. We exchange numbers and say our goodbyes. Afterwards we introduce ourselves to the driver and we walk to the car. The driver was nice enough to carry our luggage so we didn't take too much time getting to the car.

We enter after I call shotgun and Lyn rolls her eyes getting in the back seat. As we drive to the flats I enjoy the view of this amazing place called California. Man this place is beautiful!
