The flight attendant had began doing the safety precautions making my anxiety get worse. My hands were very sweaty, and I felt very shaky and anxious. What if this whole metal death trap goes down.
"Are you Alright darling" tom asked as the alert to buckle sounded. I smiled shaking my head no making tom laugh
"How are you okay with this?!" I asked him, struggling to buckle my seat belt.
"What do you mean" he laughed I finally able to click the thing together
"What if we crash?! What if the pilot leaves, what if there's a murderer, what I-" he cut me off
"Stopppp" he put his hand on top of mine that was sitting on the armrest. We both sort of froze starring at our hands that were now touching. It felt different than before for some reason. An entire cage of butterflies were just let out in my stomach. Maybe it was the nerves? Or maybe it wasn't? I felt his eyes burning holes into the side of my head
      I turned to face him smiling, slightly confused. He was already smiling before I even looked
      "What?" I laughed he just shook his head
      "You're cute when your nervous" he shrugged his shoulders
      "So you think I'm cute?" I asked raising my eyebrows at him. What was happening?
"I never said that" he tried arguing
"But you just did" I said slightly smiling and raising my eyebrows
"So music?" He changed the subject leaning down and grabbing my carry on bag and handing it to me. I rummaged through it pulling out my earbuds and my phone.
"What do you want?" I plugged in the headphones and turned my phone on. Which was on airplane mode might I add.
"Play all your cheesy love stuff" He smiled grabbing a head phone and plugging it into his ear. Slightly leaning his head back against the chair and closing his eyes
"For real!!" I said getting excited
He opened his eyes shrugging his shoulders "I guess" he laughed at my excitement. I turned on my playlist of all the cheesy unrealistic love songs, and the first one happened to be "say you won't let go" by James Arthur. I put the headphone that Tom wasn't using into my ear leaning my head back against the chair. Listening to all words. I felt the plane beginning to move and I sort of tensed up, but then felt a hand lay onto the part right above my knee. It was tom trying to comfort me. But all he was doing was sending butterflies mixed with the anxiety. We sat like that and then "Why" by Shawn Mendes came. I opened my eyes and looked over at tom who was already starring at me. He laughed and I just laughed with him. To be completely honest mostly confused.
I slowly... very hesitantly tilted my head so I was laying it on Toms shoulder. Why am I making it such a big deal...it's just a shoulder who even cares. But I couldn't tell my body that, millions and millions of butterflies were released into my stomach. Why was this even happening? I've hung out with him so many times after I supposedly drunkenly kissed him and confessed the only secret I've kept from him. But I mean this time we are alone, and my nerves are everywhere.
The music wasn't helping anything. Like possibly making a whole zoo of butterflies burst everywhere in my stomach. We had finally got in the air, smooth going on the plane.
"Success" I heard Tom say
"What?" I laughed turning towards him confused.
"I successfully distracted you through the entire take off" he smiled seeming proud of himself
"Congrats" I laughed. Maybe he didn't mean any of it? All just a distraction. Well that is kind of a bummer. I felt like maybe something just began to change.
     "Why do you seem upset darling?" He asked with concern. I shook my head from my thoughts
     "Nothing!" I lied making him shake his head
     "Whatever" he laughed "why do you like one direction so much?" He asked as Olivia continued playing almost ending
     "I mean, I just like the love type songs and they make a lot of those. So I just so happen to listen to them?" I tried explaining, I didn't even know why I liked them so much.
         Just as Olivia finished 18 by them turned on. So kiss me where I lay down, my hands pressed to your cheeks
       I felt his hand slowly rest it self on top of mine that was on arm rest. I looked over to him his head quickly turning forward trying to hide the fact that he was starring. I looked back forward
I have loved you since we were 18, long before we both thought the same thing
      I turned my hand upside down. The back of it on the arm rest. We both stiffly had our hands on top of each other's palm to palm...until he slowly began moving. He closed his around mine, I stayed stiffly frozen until I closed mine lacing them with his.
God knows I tried, yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
       I looked back at him. He was already starring. Slightly smiling, I was definitely blushing.
       "Sooo" he awkwardly laughed looking at our hands
      "Sooo" I smiled back him. He hesitated, and almost on cue
Kiss me where I lay down, my hands pressed to your cheeks
        He quickly leaned towards me inches away from my face. Stopping for a minute centimeters apart, we closed the distance his lips touching to mine. Then slowly leaning away, a smiling spill onto his face, I obviously blushing.
      "I've been wanting to do that since I first met you with an Iv in my arm"
