Double Trouble

Chapter 31 - The Bet

T H E A ' S P O V

I wish I could say that I slept as soundly as the others did on the flight but of course, I'm Thea so there's no way in hell that happened.

Don't get me wrong, I love planes. I love looking out the window at all the clouds, or when you are about to land and you can see all the bright lights of nighttime.

But Jesus, sitting on a plane for nearly 11 hours, with cramped legs, your phone dead because someone *cough* Kayleigh *cough* stole your charger the night before, and one annoying fucking kid who keeps kicking your seat, isn't fun.

I had finally lost my temper at the pre teen and turned back to glare at him with a growl, making him sink in his seat.

I huffed and plopped back in my seat.

"Bored?" Nash asked me, from across the aisle and up a seat.

I opened my closed eyes and turned to him. "I feel like I'm stuck in an airtight box full of bees for 11 hours. I think I'm gonna explode."

He laughed and came over beside me. He hit awake a snoring Taylor and told him to swap seats. Tay mumbled angrily about how he was having a 'lovely' dream about Scarlett Johansson.

Nash took the seat beside me and we talked for a while but I could see how he could barely keep his eyes open.

"How are you not tired?" He yawned with a question.

I shrugged back. "I cant sleep on planes."

He offered me his phone to listen to music and I took them gratefully.

The soft, soothing voice of the lead singer of Kaleo, JJ Julius Son, and his whistle that could make any girl drop her pants.

As the chorus of 'I Can't Go On Without You' played I felt a heavy arm fall dead on my lap.

I turned and saw Nash, fast asleep with his arm strung across my lap.

I sighed and decided to sleep for a hot since I still had another five hours to go until we land.

I rested my head on Nash's shoulder, able to reach it beside he was low in his seat from his slumber.

I pulled my jacket over me to act as a blanket and tucked my feet into me so I sat in a ball. I grabbed Nash's arm to hold because lord only knows that I cannot, for the life of me, sleep without holding something. Whether it be the edge of the duvet, a teddy or the pillow.

As another song started to play I snuggled into Nash's side to try and keep warm.

I'll use you as a warning sign.
That if you talk enough sense then you'll loose your mind.

I'll use you as a focal point.
So I don't loose sight of what I want.

A song that I have always loved to dance to. I could feel my limbs start to twitch as I could picture the dance in my head.

The moves flowing out of me, like I was born to live only to dance.

And I'll use you as a makeshift gate.
Of how much to give and how much to take.

I could feel myself slowly start to drift off as the song continued on.

I found love where it wasn't supposed to be.
Right in front of me.
Talk some sense to me.

***

I could feel myself slowly waking up with a heavy weight on top of my head, pressing my head even further into someone's shoulder.
