Adore

Chapter 27

The private lounge was practically empty. There was only 6 other people in there. Mostly expensively dressed business men and woman.

There were several modern looking couches that lined the windows of the lounge. And in the centre was a cafe that also had a bar attached to it.

We left our suitcases at a small table and went to the counter to get something to eat. I ordered myself a larrrge coffee and a croissant.

Harrison got a lethal looking green juice and a muffin. The waitress said she would bring it out to us so we went and sat back down.

"Sorry if I'm being a bit of a shadow, I've never been in a private part of an airport before" I said nervously.

"It's okay, I was like that too" Harrison said.

"Are you excited to see Paris? Have you visited before?" I asked.

"I've been twice before and it's amazing. I love it there" He smiled.

"I'm looking forward to exploring the city when the others have a day off"

"Heres your food and drinks, enjoy" The waitress said setting our orders down on the table. Harrison and I both said our thankyous and got stuck in.

The coffee was incredible, and just what i needed to fully wake up. We ate in silence for awhile before I remember Stacey asking me to put in a good word from her.

"So, Harrison.."

"Oh, you can call me Haz if you like" He said picking apart the muffin.

"Haz it is then. I had brunch with Stacey the other day" I said.

"Oh really? Yeah she's a great girl" He said with a smile.

"You two seemed to be getting along well at the party" I said with a bit of a grin.

"Stace is great, she's really funny and down to earth. I've had a crush on her for forever" From this revelation, I knew it would be okay to tell Haz that Stacey liked him too.

"You and Tom were rather friendly that night too if I remember correctly" My cheeks flushed red for a moment.

"Oh, ah yeah" I said clearing my throat.

"He's wonderful, such a sweetheart" I finished.

"I think he's pretty smitten with you" Harrison said to me as I took another large sip of coffee.

"He told me the other night that he wasn't interested in seeing anyone else at the moment. Just me" I said looking down shyly.

"Thats great, Tom keeps his feeling pretty close to his chest. So if he said that to you, I know he's telling the truth."

"Thankyou for telling me that Haz. It's kinda nerve wracking having a crush on someone famous"

"Don't tell him I told you this but he never shuts up about you" Harrison said while laughing.

"Don't worry, I wont tell him"

" I have something to tell you actually"

"Go on" He said.

"When Stace and I had brunch the other day she was actually telling me she really liked you" I said with a big smile.

"Oh really?" Harrison perked up excitedly and I nodded at him.

"I reckon when we get back you should ask her on a date" I said confidently.

"You know what, I think I will" He said with a big smile. We finished our food and drinks in silence both of us with smiles on our faces.

"I'll just be back in a minute" I said and left the table heading for the bathroom. It was the fanciest god damn bathroom I'd ever seen. The fluffy towel I dried my hands on afterwards were so amazingly soft I wanted to stuff some in my hand bag to take home. But I refrained, just..

I pulled my phone from my pocket and took a silly photo of myself

"See you in two ish hours babe!" I captioned the photo and sent to Tom. I left the bathroom, now ready for the flight and went back to the table where Haz sat.

"We better get cracking if we wanna get to the plane time" I said.

I pulled my handbag up onto my shoulder again and wheeled my suitcase behind me. Harrison seemed to know where he was going so I just followed him.

We walked down another corridor that was all glass and I could see some of the jets waiting on the tarmac. We reached another small waiting area with two people of staff manning the desk.

"Your boarding passes please" One lady spoke to us and we handed over the tickets. They were scanned again and passed back to us.

"If you exit these doors here, a car will take you out onto the tarmac ready for your flight" Said the lady with glasses.

"Enjoy your flight" The other spoke.

Harrison took the lead again and as we left the doors, a black four-wheel drive sat waiting for us. Two men helped load our suitcases as we took our seats in the car.

The driver steered away and shortly we pulled up next to a jet.

We unloaded from the car and took the short set of stairs up into the plane. Inside, were several rows of tan leather couches that I thought could recline into beds.

There was a small bar up the back as well and a door that I assumed would be a bathroom. There was also a large tv mounted on the wall in-front of the cockpit.

The pilot stepped on board and greeted us and spoke of what our journey should be like, pending weather.

He asked us to take our seats and buckle up while an air hostess did her routine of the exits and how to use the oxygen masks.

I sat facing the tv, in the seat closest to the window. I quickly turned my phone back on, on airplane mode so I could take some photos during the flight.

Harrison was sat in the row over from me, also in the window seat also switching his phone back on. 

The air hostess left the plane and as the door was sealed shut the pilot announced we would prepare for take off.

The jet slowly started to roll forwards and picked up its pace before really kicking into gear. And before I knew it, we were soaring into the air.
