Loving #199

Finally France

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! We are going to be getting on the plane and flying to France in two hours! Travis' alarm went off on his phone and I felt him slip out of bed quietly. I woke up lazily and rubbed my eyes, causing Travis to look at me and chuckle.
"Well Goodmorning sleeping beauty." he said as he unzipped his bag to get some clothes.
"Heyy." I said quietly in more of a whisper.
I got out of bed and stood there like an idiot. Travis looked at me for a long moment before he picked up my bag and placed it in my hands. I looked up at him and gave a small smile.
"I don't know what to wear." I said nervously.
I set my bag down and went to my closet. I settled on my hollister jeggings, a nitro circus pullover that I lifted off of Wheelz, a white knitted infinity scarf and my cream ugg boots. I tied my hair up in a messy top knot bun and grabbed my bag. Travis came up behind me and swiftly took my bag from my hands,
"Let me get that." he said as he flashed that gorgeous smile at me.
I turned a light pink and let him carry my bags to the car, except my redbull backpack that matches his.
He came back in the house and grabbed both mine and moms backpacks,
"That's not fair I don't get to carry anything!" I joked.
"Oh well,look at you, any one of those bags would break you in half!" he said tickling both my sides, causing me to flinch and double over. I'm VERY ticklish.

We said our goodbyes to dad and headed to the airport with Travis driving, me in the passenger seat and mom in the back of his black SUV.
My Instagram rang with a notification,
'MeridethBrackins tagged you in a post'
OH LORD my mom NEVER gets on Instagram!! I reluctantly opened it to find a picture of me just now, laying on the console, half asleep and curled up with Travis' jacket over me and his arm resting on the passenger seat above me. I frankly thought it was adorable, the caption read,
@brackiasaurus @travispastrana we are off to France and they're already like lovers! I sense a mommy 3rd wheel coming on!

I laughed and looked to the back seat,
"Really mom?!" I mouthed to her, Travis had no idea what was going on, he was busy driving. She giggled at me and made a kissy face. She truly was my bestfriend. 💕

Once we got to the airport, we boarded our plane and I started getting anxious.
"Oh my god this is so exciting!!" I said next to Travis who was holding my arm and guiding me to first class.
"Calm down honey!"he laughed at my excitement.
"Sorry Trav!" I began as we sat down in the big limo fancy looking seats.
"I've just always dreamed about going to France someday." I said looking out the window as we took off.
I jumped and gripped the arm rests, I'm a nervous flyer.
"I hate this part!" I said to Travis when he looked at me with concerning eyes.
Without breaking eye contact, he slid his hand between mine and the arm rest and laced our fingers together, rubbing my hand with his thumb.
I looked down at our now interlocking hands and turned bright red.
"Relax Harley Elizabeth. It's just a takeoff." he winked at me.
I tried staying cool throughout the flight. Travis kept me busy by stealing my phone and going through my music, my pictures and even my messages. Eventually, we all got sleepy and took a nap.
I was woken up by the flight attendant telling us that we'd be landing in France soon. Nothing in that moment made me happier than to hear that I'll be in France with my crush, not that he knows, but still.

We stepped off the plane and it was late afternoon, I was so tired and just wanted to sleep all day!
"So what's on the agenda mom?" I asked as we walked to Travis' rental SUV that was ironically similar to his back home.
"Well, I figured today with whatever time we have, we can do some shopping around and sight seeing, then crash early and spend the whole day tomorrow?" she said.
"That sounds amazing!" I told her as I buckled my seat belt.

We checked into the hotel, and FINALLY Travis let me carry my own backpack. I felt like such a tourist.
"Alright lovely little lady, do your thing!" mom said gesturing to the receptionist.
"What do I tell her?" I asked.
"We have reservations for two bedroom suites, Brackins and Pastrana." she said.
"Oh. okay, gotcha." I said and walked to the receptionist with my mom and Travis.
