Ice And Fire

Italy! here we come.

Next morning I was woken up by my phone ringing so bad, and continuously that I couldn't continue sleeping.

It was only eight thirty in the morning.

Just freaking four hours!
It was Lucas. Woah! I said him one thing last night, that is to not call me up in the morning and he still called me up.

Anyways I picked up the call in frustration and he said "Ready for this trip!" in a cheerful voice.
"You say what? Don't you remember me saying not to call me in the morning." I asked him furiously.

"Well we have a flight today and you need to get ready as well." he said.
"the flight is at one pm. It's just eight thirty. I could have got ready in half an hour. Or more like forty five minutes. Why then?" I complained to him.

"Wait, what? One pm?" he questioned and I could hear him shuffling through things on his table and a piece of paper making a sound later.

"Baby, Umm.. You sure the flight is at one pm?" he questioned me in a soft tone.
"Pretty much yes. Yes I am." I replied confidently.

"What would you do without me riles? " he sighed from the other side.

"What happened now?" I questioned him.
"What happened? Riles you have been looking at the tickets that is from Italy to home. That is our arrival ticket. Our flight departs at 11:00 am. We have to be at airport by 10 something and that means we leave at 9:15 ish. That leaves you with just forty five minutes. Actually now forty." he explained me.
As each word passed my ear and was received by my brain I could feel the tension in my body, my blood pressure rising constantly.

I ended the call abruptly without saying a word and rushed to bathroom and stumbled at almost each task I did.

Who knew brushing is such a time consuming task.
I showered and packed and made sure I had everything crossed off my list.

I packed the last set of item, and also was getting ready in the same moment, when I heard a knock on the door.

I'm sure it's Lucas.
No, I ain't a pysic or have ' I feel him around me' kind of thing with me. It's just that nobody in my room respects my teenage privacy and never knocks on door.

They just feel free to enter my room without my permission. Hey! Privacy please, I've a life going on too.

I shouted yes and Lucas came in straight and leaned on the wall.
It was already nine and my room was a mess and so was I.

"Do you even like packing?" it was the first thing he said after he had entered the room.

"By the looks of my room you should get it already." I replied.
"I do get it. Ha. I don't get you sometimes." he sighed again.
"And still you love me and claim to be the person who knows me the best." I snapped back at him.

"Well we have no time to spare right now. So be a good boyfriend and help me with it?" I asked him.

Obviously he did help me and within minutes we were able to put my room in order and I was so glad he came.
Out of excitement I hugged him so tight. I'm pretty much sure, he couldn't breathe.

My phone rang and vibration it generate was sent across my whole body that I had to pull away from the hug.

It was Jessica. She called me to come down as they were waiting in the mini van that will take us to airport.
It was Jessica's dad's minivan.
We pulled down my luggage to the front yard and Lucas's luggage was already there. JJ was standing next to it. He was protecting it all this while.

Standing in front was the white minivan with everyone already seated.
Jessica rolled down the window and shouted "you guys wanna stay here and not come Huh?"

That's when we realised we were supposed to put in our luggage inside.

With the help of JJ we placed our bags and squeezed inside the van.
There wasn't much of space left honestly.

I had to place my one thigh on Lucas's leg. See that's complicated it was sitting there.
We bid our farewell to JJ and started with the journey.
The person driving wasn't Jessica's dad, but his driver. I know she must be sad. I could see it on her face. She was kind of expecting her dad to leave her to the airport.

Told you, her dad is always busy in his meeting and tours.
I brushed my hands on her shoulder, consoling her.
She smiled back and sighed.

"It's going to be lit!" Raymond shouted all of a sudden. I could already hear his excitement through his voice.
"We aren't at the airport yet." Darren complained.
"Stop being like this Darren. It's going to absolutely lit ray." Christi defended Raymond.

What is going on between them? I looked at Jess and she looked at Cass and she nodded in approval.
Yes, it's confirmed now. I couldn't help but smile and so did Jess and we exchanged glances.

"Why are you both smiling like this?" Jeremy asked us.

"Inside jokes probably." Cassandra defended us in her high pitched voice.

"I never get you both sometimes." Jeremy confessed.
"It's better you don't." Jessica snapped back at him.
"Shhh guys be quite for a little time. Do you both plan on fighting the whole trip?" Cassandra asked them both.
"No not until we reach airport." Jessica replied.
"Your typical couple goal huh? Is it one of them." Darren asked.
"Couple goals aren't typical." Ray pointed out.

"Okay whatever. Everyone keep their mouths shut until we reach the airport." Lucas said as he jumped in as the ultimate peace maker.

Now there was awkward silence. This silence was so uncomfortable for me that I started singing and so did everyone and weirdly enacting the song.

Withing eight to nine horribly sung songs we reached the airport.

Carrying our bags, we rushed inside as well making stories on instagram. They were quite a lot and we were still at airport.
No weren't late. Actually we were not anywhere near being late.
Thanks to the timekeeper Lucas Ross.
I somewhat hoped for the rushing in at the last moment drama but it didn't happen.

We had enough time for photos and a restroom trip.
Peacefully we boarded our flights and honestly I was annoyed by this. Just like bowling people.

I know I'm being damn fancy over this, but it would have so crazy if we're got late and ran across the airport as our names were being announced and just in time we reach inside the flight.
Memorable.

We took our seats and drill was carried out by the airhostess and the pilot.

"Here we come Italy!" Jeremy and Jessica said out loud.
Loud enough for us to hear.

Darren was sitting with me and Lucas.

At the start getting he was all chatty and everything and I was a bit sad and irritated about this because I wanted get some 'us' with Lucas.
At some point I wanted to slap the shit out of him.
But soon he dozed off to sleep.
He was in a deep sleep. It would take us quite some time to reach there, so I got a little cozy with him and relaxed myself a little.

He looked at me as I stared at his perfectly attractive face and smiled.
We needed no words at that moment. I could already see how hard he has fallen for me now.

We survived in a relationship despite too many problems.
Hiding and striving but in the end all I find is love and respect.
Knowing the thing, that the person you're in love with loves you back so much is officially the best feeling.

I would never wish for things to change. Never in a million years.

We were talking about anything crazy on this earth and didn't even realize that we will brlanding in few minutes.

Darren was on the brink of waking up and we settled ourselves more properly and we landed safely.

As we walked out of the airport,  I could feel a new rush in my making me go crazy.

"Italia!!" I shouted out loud.
