You're sitting at the airport waiting for your cousins plane to land when you feel the bench shake.
"The security here is nuts" A deep male voice says with a laugh.
You look up to see a boy, probably 18, sitting next to you. He's rather good looking too.
"Yeah its pretty over the top." You smile at him.
"I'm Lij by the way. What's your name?" He holds out a hand.
You introduce yourself and shake his hand.
"(y/n), that's pretty." He says coyly.
You can feel your cheeks going bright red so you look down.
"Aw sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you."
You look up again "nah its cool. Who are you waiting for?"
Lij smiles "My little sister and mum. They went away for the weekend together. What about you?"
"Aww that's sweet. How old is your sister? I'm waiting for my cousin. She's staying for the week." You answer him.
"Maya is 14. She's really great. So laid back and just really chill." Lij laughs.
"She sounds like it." You grin. His laugh is just so bubbly
"Okay Imma cut to the chase here because I don't have long" Lij pretends to pout, "Are you single and free this weekend?"
You giggle at his nervous tone "Yeah I'm single and don't have plans for the weekend. Why might that be?"
"Well um was hoping we could meet up" He asks hopefully
"Sounds good. Wait, you don't have a girlfriend?" You reply
Lij shakes his head, "Single as the single-est Pringle in the bottom of the container waiting to be.... eaten?... Umm yeah anyway. Here pass your phone and I'll give you my number." He winks and you try not to drool.
He finishes entering his contact details and hands you your phone back. The contact name is 'LijTheSinglePringle' which makes you laugh. "So mister single pringle, how old are you anyway?" You send him quick text so he has your number too.
Lij pokes your arm "Have a guess"
"I'd say seventeen or eighteen"
"Nuh uh you gotta pick one" He pokes his tongue at you.
"Okay then eighteen"
"Ding ding we have a winner!" Lij exclaims loudly with a clap, making people look at you both weirdly. You wait until they pass before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Elijah Gilmour stop flirting and come give me a hug already!" A lady shouts from somewhere in front of you, breaking your moment of giggles.
Lij's cheeks burn and he bites his lip. "That's mummy. I have to go now but I'll text you tonight about our date" He winks and stands up, "It was a pleasure to meet you (y/n)".
"Haha okay byee. Back at you Elijah." He pretends to scowl as you wink and wave goodbye.
You stand, watching Lij chat with his little sister for a few minutes before your cousin arrives and races you outside to get a taxi home.
