liza drags her heavy, massive suitcase through the crowded airport, the wheels clicking on the floor. people walk and run past her, trying to make it to their flight on time.
the tiny girl reaches security, making it through with ease. she slips her shoes back on, fixes her backpack and heads for the cafeteria. she chooses chipotle, ordering a salad. she sits down once she gets her bowl of greens. she pulls out her phone, scolling through twitter and instagram.
as liza munches on her salad, she doesn't notice the boy, who she never thought she would see again, staring at her. he clicks back into reality as he realizes he is next in line. he orders his usual burrito, pondering if he should sit with the girl who has been on his mind since the eiffel tower. he makes the decision, heading for her table.
"mind if i sit?"
liza looks up from her electronic box to the brown-haired boy towering over her. she smiles, happy to see david, the boy who she kissed and couldn't forget.
"not at all."
david plops down across from her before preparing to scarf down his tasty burrito. "can i be honest with you?" liza nods, listening carefully as she chews. "i never thought i'd see you again liza."
"me too david."
the two munch on their food, making small talk as they do. they stop and listen as an announcement mumbles through the airport. "flight 233 now boarding. that's flight 233 now boarding."
"that's me" they say simultaneously.
they freeze. david points at liza, his face contorted in a confused and surprised expression. "flight 233?" liza nods. she points her finger, copying david's actions. "flight 233?" david nods and smiles. "looks like we're going to the same place." liza starts to pack up her garbage and belongings. "looks like it." they throw their trash away and head for their gate.
"gimme your phone." david makes grabby motions with his fingers like a 4 year old as liza hands him her phone. he opens contacts, quickly typing in his number. he changes his name to 'eiffel tower guy', sends a text to himself and hands liza her phone back. "for when you need me." liza giggles. david unlocks his phone, replying to the text he sent himself. he changes liza's name to 'eiffel tower girl', matching it with his.
the two walk across the airport, slightly rushing to get to their gate on time. david sneakily intertwines his hand with liza's. she looks down at their locked hands and back up at david who is staring straight ahead. liza softly smiles as they continue walking.
they reach their gate, david still not letting go of liza's hand. they hand the ticket agent their boarding passes before dissapearing through the door.
"are you gonna let go of my hand anytime soon?" david shakes his head, still looking straight ahead. liza laughs quietly at his childishness.

after a very long flight, they finally land at lax. they gather their things and step off the plane. david and liza's seats were, surprisingly and coincidentally, next to each other, so they had lots of time to get to know each other. and lots of time for their crushes on each other to grow bigger.
david snakes his hand into liza's once again, liza not acknoledging it this time. a small smirk shapes liza's lips. she looks up at david, a small smile on his lips too. david shifts his eyes as he notices her staring. she quickly looks ahead, trying not to get caught, but failing. david softly chuckles under his breath.
"so, are you going home right away?" liza nods. "yeah, it's been a long day and i miss my bed." david chuckles, missing his bed as well.
"that sucks because i was hoping to take you out on a date."
liza freezes in her tracks, david stopping with her. "what? really?" david nods. "i really like you liza."
"i like you too david."
they smile to each other. "how about tomorrow night when we're both rested and can actually keep their eyes open?" liza moves closer to david, her arms sliding around his neck. david's arms snake around her waist. "deal." they stare into each other's eyes, getting lost in them. the contemplate kissing, choosing not to as they are still in the airport. people passing by are giving them wierd looks. "we should probably exit the airport before someone yells at us." liza laughs. "i think that is a good idea." they interlock their hands before exiting the building.

david decided to walk liza to her car, as it was dark and he was being catious of her safety. they reach her car, their hands parting. "i will see you tomorrow night david dobrik."
"i will see you tomorrow night liza koshy."
they smile as david walks away. as he is a few feet ahead, he stops. he turns back around quickly, making a beeline towards the girl of his dreams. liza's face contorts in confusion before david smashes his lips onto hers. the kiss is just like the one at the eiffel tower, but filled with more chemistry and love. david deepens it, his arms sliding around liza's waist. liza's slip around david's neck. david slides his toungue on liza's bottom lip, liza accepting gladly. they pull away before it gets too heated. liza's eyes stay closed as she replays the kiss in her mind.
"i can't wait for tomorrow."
liza giggles as david walks away, leaving her with the feeling of his lips on hers.
~next day~
liza waits on her living room couch for david. tonight is the night of their date, and she couldn't be happier. her doorbell sounds, signalling that her favourite person was here to pick her up. she stands from the couch, straightens out her dress, and walks to the door. she opens it to reveal david, wearing black, of course, but dressed up slightly. he wore a black dress shirt with a black tie, his pants matching, and he wore black boots on his feet. liza took note that he looks handsome when he dresses up, then making a note that he looks handsome every day.
"wow. you look gorgeous liza."
"you don't look so bad youself dobrik."
"are you ready to go?" liza nods before grabbing her purse and to david's car. her eyes widen when she sees the automobile in front of her. "you drive a tesla?!" david chuckles. "yeah." liza laughs before hopping in.

the two young adults arrive at an expensive-looking restaurant. "david this looks really expensive."
"you deserve expensive. and more."
liza blushes at david's comment. they lock hands as they enter the dimly lit restaraunt. liza's eyes wander around as david speaks to the host. they follow the girl to their table, sitting right next to the window where the view is more gorgeous than ever.
"this is really beautiful david."
"not as beautiful as you."
liza blushes at the compliment. a waitress comes with menus and water before asking if they would like any drinks. david orders a glass of wine for the both of them. he intertwines his hands with liza's across the table.
"liza, there is a reason i asked you on this date. well, two actually. one is so i could stare at your gorgeousness all evening. and two is to ask you to be my girlfriend." liza's eyes widen before softening. "i know we haven't known each other for long but i know that i want to call you mine. so liza koshy, will you be my girlfriend?"
"yes."
david smiles as he leans over the table to plant a kiss on liza's bee-stung lips. he sits back down, staring at his now girlfriend. he quickly looks down at the menu as he notices liza catch him. they smirk at david's sneaking.
_____
david and liza had a beautiful date, them both knowing this is the first of many.
i clearly do not know how to end a story and i feel like this is a little rushed but it turned out okay, right?
