IVY'S POV
*we get to the airport around 6:30am and i rub my eyes, trying to stay awake in line. joey and i are waiting to check in our bags so we won't have to put them in the overhead storage. after 15 minutes, we finally reach the front and check in our bags. we show our id's and joey takes my hand, pulling me out of that section. i smile and intertwine our fingers while we walk to the security line. i rest my head on joey's chest and he plays with my hair, holding me in both of his arms.*
ivy- i'm going to sleep so good on the plane
joey- i told you getting first class would be worth it
ivy- i believed you then and now it's coming true
*he giggles since i'm a little delusional from being tired and i sway back and forth in his arms. we move up in line and show the guard our boarding passes. he lets us through and we put our things in baskets, walking through the scanner. once we finish that, we put our shoes back on and walk towards our gate.*
joey- babe, do you want something to eat from starbucks?
ivy- the bacon gouda sounds really good
joey- starbucks is right across from our gate and we still have time
*i nod and stand up energetically. joey laughs and i intertwine our fingers, walking to starbucks. joey and i order what we want and i quickly pull out a $10 dollar bill to pay. joey looks at me with a pout on his face as we walk to the other end and i kiss him softly. he kisses back and smiles against his lips, breaking our kiss. my name gets called and we grab our things before walking back to our gate. we start eating and i lay my head on joey's lap.*
ivy- no more worrying about anything
joey- besides a few things
ivy- well yeah but no more school
joey- i'm so happy about that. after 16 years we are done with school
*i smile big after i finish my last bite of my breakfast sandwich and slightly sit up, kissing joey's cheek. our flight number gets called and we stand up, waiting in line to board. the lady scans our boarding passes and we walk onto the plane, carefree. i find our seats and sit down, laying the chair back. joey does the same and looks at me in awh.*
joey- this is awesome
ivy- its so roomy and comfy
joey- plus there's nothing in between our seats meaning we can cuddle
*i smile big and kiss his cheek a bunch, not caring that everyone boarding saw. he blushes and hides his face in the crook of my neck. i giggle and play with his hair, causing him to fall asleep. everyone eventually gets to their seats and the pilot starts speaking.*
pilot- hello everyone. please buckle your seatbelts. we have a 10 hour flight to the bahamas
*the plane starts moving and i smile big, laying a blanket over joey and me. he snuggles into me and i hold him, falling asleep seconds later.*
JOEY'S POV
*i wake up in the middle of the flight and check the time we have left on the tv in front of me. we had 3 hours to go and they were currently passing out breakfast. i hold ivy in my arms and ask for two orders of pancakes. the worker nods and hands the box of pancakes to us. i thank her and kiss ivy's forehead, trying to wake her up in a gentle way. i kiss her forehead softly a few times and play with her hair for a few minutes till her eyes open. she looks up at me after rubbing her eyes and i smile. she smiles back and lays her head on my shoulder, seeing the pancakes. she smiles big and opens the box.*
ivy- thank god you woke me up for food
joey- i wouldn't wake you up if you didn't need to be up baby
ivy- i know love
*she giggles and splits the pancakes with me. we start eating and she rolls her eyes, enjoying the pancakes. she takes a sip of her water and we finish eating 15 minutes later. the lady comes by and takes our trash. i turn to ivy and she's looking out the window with a smile on her face. i rest my hand on her back and she looks back at me. i peck her lips and she cups my face, holding the kiss for a few seconds.*
ivy- i love you so much
joey- i love you so much too baby
ivy- you really helped me when i thought i wouldn't have anyone else
joey- i would never leave you, especially if you're having a hard time
ivy- i have a question
joey- i have an answer
ivy- why did you pick me? like out of everyone, you chose me. a girl with no family, who was unhappy for the longest time
joey- i met you when you still lived with your sister and i fell for you then. when she passed away, i knew i couldn't leave you knowing you were having such a hard time. that would be such a cruel thing to do. i knew you could get better and i wanted to help you. now almost four years later, i'm still head over heels for you and i still love you more everyday
*i tell her that as i look between her eyes and her hand that i was holding. i rub her knuckles with my thumb and look at her eyes again. she shed a tear and i wipe it away, putting her head on my chest. she sniffles and i play with her hair.*
joey- i didn't mean for you to cry baby. you're different than other girls. at school you saw all the girls that wore pounds of makeup and tried their best to look good. but you didn't care. you wouldn't wear makeup and you wore whatever you wanted. that just makes you more beautiful than you already are
*by now, she was silently crying on my chest. i hold her tight and wipe her tears every so often. i lift her head with my finger under her chin and she looks up at me while sniffling. i connect our lips and she kisses back. i hold the kiss for a few seconds before pulling away and looking in her eyes. i cup her face and talk softly.*
joey- that's why i chose you over all the other girls
ivy- you're my everything and i love you with all my heart
joey- i love you too princess
*she hugs me, laying her head in the crook of my neck and i hug back, holding her waist. i lightly scratch her back and kiss her head a few times. i hum our song just loud enough so only she could hear and she looks up at me with a smile. i smile back and she turns on the tv in front of her, shutting the window. i connect my headphones and share with her. she picks the movie and we start watching the movie while cuddling. we have 2 hours left on the flight till we reach the bahamas. a trip that will never be forgotten.*
