When a new journalist/ reporter takes on a new job at a NASCAR racetrack she soon discovers that she has found love where she least suspects it. Along the way she meets new friends and brings them "along for the ride."
As we were driving to the airport Chase and I continued our conversations that we had been having all day pretty much. He told me more about his family and how he grew up and then had asked me the same thing. So I began to tell him some stories about my family and myself. I have an older sister named Erica that lives in Seattle and she is an architect. My parents are named Nina and Andrew; my mom is a labor and delivery nurse for Emory Hospital and my dad is a sports analyst for the Atlanta Gladiators hockey team. He said that it sounded like I had a good family and that's where I get my motivation to be successful from. He told me that if I needed to charge my phone I could so I decided to plug it in to his usb outlet. As we continued talking I told him that I was trying to set one of my friends from school up with Blaney, he said that would be good for Ryan to find someone that was a good person. I wasn't paying attention to his radio that was quietly playing until I noticed that one of my one direction songs was playing. He noticed my reaction to the song playing and began to turn up the volume and try to sing along to the song he had never heard before. I couldn't help but laugh and eventually I joined in singing along also. After the song ended I asked if he wanted to continue listening to whatever music came up on my shuffled playlist or just turn it off and listen to his music. He began to laugh and just say that my music was fine and this showed him what my music taste was like.
The next song to come on was Burnin it Down by Jason Aldean, I began to get all flustered again and of course Chase noticed and began singing louder which caused me to laugh again. I thought to myself what kinda music is gonna play next? Before I could even think about what music was on my phone it began playing Love Somebody by Maroon 5. He was laughing and looked over at me and said just what I was thinking which was Is your music trying to tell us something? I looked at Chase and said I don't know maybe do you think so? He said maybe it is and then leaned over and quickly grabbed my hand and gave it a small squeeze before placing it back on the steering wheel. I thought to myself did that really just happen and did I just feel a spark between us? We soon pulled up to the airport to "Elliott Field" hmm wonder who that's named after, he parked the truck in the hanger where the plane was and he said that his dad or one of his uncles would come by and pick up his truck to take it back to his house. He got out first and then came around and helped me get out, then we got our suitcases out of the backseats.
We walked over towards the plane and he began to get everything set up. I gave him my suitcase and he put it in the back with his suitcase before helping me get up into the plane which was taller than I had thought. I got situated in my seat and got my sunglasses and phone out of my purse. Chase got in and put on his sunglasses and headset before we were ready to go. I was excited to be flying in a private plane with my favorite driver who also happens to be so attractive too. I really was hoping that there was something between Chase and I because he is super sweet, funny, Family-oriented, and a total babe. The large doors of the airplane hanger were opened and Chase soon fired up the engine. We were ready for takeoff! He asked me through his headset if I was ready and if I was scared of flying. I answered back to him and said I was ready to go and that I was not afraid of flying and that I loved flying. He sent me back a smirk and then we began to drive down the runway. He said that it would be only about an hour and a half flight until we reached our destination and arrive back in the "Queen City of Charlotte."
The plane began to pick up speed down the runway and we were soon in the air. I looked around the plane and realized I had the best view in the world right in front of me the beautiful blue sky and my hot pilot. I asked Chase did he want any music playing while we flew or did he just want to talk? He answered back through his headset that he was fine with both since he's been flying for so long, but if he was just starting out with this whole flying thing then he wanted complete silence. That obviously wasn't the case because I opened up my phone and went to my music app and click shuffle just letting whatever song come on. I looked through the many pictures we had taken from today and I couldn't help but smile thinking about the day that I have had. Chase then asked me what was I so smiley about over there? I answered back I'm just thinking about everything that has happened today and that I'm a pretty lucky girl. While he was focused on the sky in front of us and the controls of the plane that he had to maneuver I had sneakily taken some pictures of him and was thinking about posting it on my burner account and maybe snap a picture to Ryan just to see him freak out. After Chase and I's discussion about social media accounts I noticed I had new followers on both my accounts of course it was him he had found my accounts. I accepted them and then began to post some pictures. Between the day that I have had and the way that he has treated me I realized that....I was falling in love with him.
