    - Jackson 
    I take my suitcases to the foyer as I wait for Ashani to arrive. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. I then go open the door and see Ashani on the other end with two sky blue medium sized luggage bags next to her. 
    "Yo, Jackie!" she says in a deep high pitched voice as she makes her way inside while holding the food. "Oh and, could you take my bags, please" she adds 
    "You brought food, great! " I retort as I bring her luggage into the house 
    She places the food on the dinner table as I put her bags next to mine in the foyer. 
    "Jackie, lunch is served" she says as she takes a seat at the table and opens both pizza boxes 
    "Oh, yes! I never thought you'd pull through with lunch" I say as I dig in 
    "Wow, Jackson! What do you take me for" she responds with pizza in her mouth. 
    "Hani, we have a flight at 13:30, and it's 12:00 so we'd better hurry up." I say as I gulp down some soju. 
    "Yeah, you're right. We'd better clean up and head out" she responds 
    Ashani then gets up off her seat, takes the pizza box and I take the empty soju bottles and throw it all in the dustbin. 
    "Well, now that's done, let me take my bags to your car" Ashani says excitedly 
    "Yeah, sure. We'll be using the silver Audi RS3." he retorts 
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    It's now 13:15, we're currently at Gimpo Airport and we're showing the check - in operator out flight tickets including our passports. She stamps our passports and we make our way to the plane, find our designated seats and place our luggage on the racks above the seats. 
    - Ashani 
    We take our seats and I can't help but fixate my attention on the clouds and I become deep in thought as the plane takes off. 
    "Hey, what's got you so deep in your thoughts?" Jackson asks lightly tapping me on my shoulder. 
    "I-It's nothing. I'm good" I say knowing that's a lie
    "Are you sure you're lying?" 
    "What? No! I'm not lying, I'm good." I say 
    "Oh okay, cool so I'mma rest my eyes real quick." he says as he lightly squeezes my hand and winks. 
    "Enjoy!" I say focusing my attention back on the window. 
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    It's now 00:30 a.m and we've arrived at Manchester Airport. It's very quiet at this time, it isn't as bustling as it is during the day. 
    "Welcome to England, Jackie!" I say breathing in the air. 
    "Why thank you. Are you my tour guide?" he says playfully. 
    "Oh yes, I'm the best in town" I say with a wink 
    "I hope so" Jackson remarks. And we both laugh as we get our luggage.
    I then request an Uber to take us to a hotel for the night.
    About 20 minutes later, we arrive at the hotel and check ourselves into a room with a view that's to die for.
    We then find our room and get inside throwing our luggage on the floor.
    "This room looks amazing. I'm loving the view, I'll definitely enjoy my stay here" I say throwing myself on the bed with my luggage scattered on the floor. 
    "Well, I'll give you two more reasons why you'll enjoy your stay here even more." he responds with a smirk, while showing me a packet of weed and a lighter. 
    "You sneaky bitch. How did you manage to sneak weed past customs and their dogs?!" I ask dumbfounded.
    "A magician never reveals his secrets"
    "Oh hell no, boy that's witchcraft! Now bring the lighter. Oh my gosh, what if the hotel staff smell it?" I ask while nervous and excited at the same time. 
    "Don't worry, they won't, that's why I chose this room." he retorts with a wink, as he lights up the blunt sticking out of his mouth. He hands me a lighter and I do the same. 
    We sit outside by the balcony and smoke the night away, talking about our life problems, hopes and dreams.
