"You really don't need to carry me up the plane stairs." I grumble.
Moretti just snorts but doesn't reply.
I watch us get higher off the ground as Moretti walks up the stairs.
Feeling a panic attack come on, I wrap my arms around his waist and bury my head in his back. I close my eyes.
Goddess, I hate heights.
I feel Moretti stiffen when I wrapped my arms around him, but we both said nothing.
I feel him begin to walk on even ground again, and soon enough I felt his hands unclasp mine and he sets me down on a seat.
And of course it's a window seat.
He takes the seat directly across from me, and Malik happily skips to another seat that isn't around us.
"Put on your seatbelt." Moretti tells me.
I glare at him before actually doing it.
"What's your name?" He tries to continue the conversation.
"What's yours?" I sassily fire back.
"Doesn't matter."
"Then mine doesn't matter either." I shrug.
He leans forward in his seat, giving me an intense stare.
I meet his gaze and suddenly we're in a staring contest again.
"Can you guys please stop staring at each other all horny like? I don't like feeling like a third wheel."
I break contact with him and look over at a smirking Malik.
"There's no romantic relationship going on here. So no need to feel like a third wheel."
Malik snorted. "Yeah, sure." He looks over at Moretti.
"Moretti, how irresponsible are you? Put your seatbelt on, dipshit."
He growls but puts on his seatbelt nonetheless.
And now we get into an awkward silence. Waiting for the plane to take off.
———
I grip onto the seat arms, my knuckles for sure going white. I look anywhere besides outside the window.
My breathing starts to pick up pace.
Not another panic attack. Not now.
I feel like I'm going to throw up as the plane is at an awkward angle, due to flying up higher.
I close my eyes and start counting to ten over and over quietly.
I keep doing this over and over until the plane evens out.
Eventually, I open my eyes when I hear the plane ding. I hesitantly look out the window, but pull back when I start to panic again.
