Our Promises

20.

Tom barged into my room.
"Did you stalk me or something?" He asked and slammed the door behind him.
"What?"
"Haz just told me that you saw me kissing Penny is that true?"
"God her names Penny!" I laughed and pretended to be sick.
"Why are you acting like this?" He asked.
"You broke a promise!" I shouted.
"Why do you even care?" He shouted back.
"I just..."
"You what?" Tom came close to me. I grabbed his face and our lips connected. I leaned in for more but he pulled away.
"Do you like me?" He asked. I gulped.
"No I just want to kiss you." I lied. He thought about it for a second and then kissed me again.

Nathan and I had packed our bags and headed to the airport. Our flight was at 10pm and we'd be in Italy around 1am British time. We got to the airport and looked around for the Holland's car which was where we were meeting them. Daisy and Andreas were heading that way too. "Blair why are we going with them if you hate Tom and Jessica?" Nathan asked.
"Because we're all family no matter what." I said. Part of that was true and part of it...was not. I planned to be the best girlfriend of all time to Nathan during this experience. I was going to be PDA which is something I usually hate and I was going to be super attentive and I was going to make Jessica look like a slut and a slob. I smiled to myself. Tom is going to rue the day when he slept with Jessica Young.
"Oh there they are." Nathan said and he turned the car into a spot.
"Hey guys!" I exclaimed as I came out the car. "Hey guys!" The boys all said.
"The traffic was terrible tonight." Dom said.
"I know, I'm glad I wasn't driving." I laughed. Nathan came out and opened the boot and took all of our stuff out. He was already painfully perfect at being a boyfriend so he just had to be himself for Tom to get riled up. I took my carry on bag and then my suitcase.
"Here, I'll take your bag if you take this." Nathan said and handed me his much smaller carry on bag.
"Thanks babe." I smiled.
"Are Daisy and Andreas here yet?" I asked. "They're in and probably in their first class lounge right now." Nikki laughed and we all started heading to the main entrance. I wrapped my hand around Nathan's as we walked and I purposely walked in front of Tom so he'd have to look at us. We got in and waited in line to check our bags in.
"While we're here, shall we check our seating arrangements?" Dom said. We all got out our tickets.
"1F." Paddy said.
"2F." Nikki said.
"3F." Dom said.
"5G." Sam said.
"6G." Harry said.
"7G." Haz said.
"I'm 16E." Tom said.
"Aw no! I'm 14C." Jess pouted.
"Well, I'm 15C." Nathan said. I gulped. Of course.
"I'm 17E." I said without looking up. Everyone was silent.
"So we're next to each other?" Tom asked. I turned to him.
"Uh huh." I said and licked my teeth.
"We can swap seats." Jess said.
"Yeah exactly!" Nathan said. Tom and I both just smiled awkwardly.

We got through security and we boarded the plane. We had swapped tickets so I was next to Nathan and Tom was with Jess.
"Wow, that would not have been good." Nathan said as we sat down.
"Yeah." I laughed. I saw stewardesses coming up the aisle's checking everyone's tickets. Shit. "Tom!" I whisper shouted. He turned around and I pointed to the stewardesses.
"Shit." He said.
"Miss could I see your ticket?" She asked. "Why?" Nathan asked behind me.
"To decrease the risk of danger." She smiled. "But this doesn't usually happen." He said. "Could I just see your tickets please?" She asked again.
"We're doctors so it won't be hard for us to understand the reason." He said. She sighed, "There was a man caught in security who was considered dangerous and we have been ordered to check everyone's tickets." She said quietly and firmly.
I sighed, "Fine." I handed her Jess's ticket. "And your ID?" She asked. I handed her my ID. "Miss stand up please." She said.
"Me and my boyfriend wanted to sit together so that her and her boyfriend could sit next to each other." I explained and pointed to Tom and Jess who waved.
"Please swap seats." She asked. I grunted and kissed Nathan and then grabbed my bag and changed seats with Jess. I slumped down in the seat.
"Hi." Tom smirked.
"Fuck off." I said and took my book out.
"We're on this plane for 4 hours are you really not going to talk to me?" He asked. "Did you un-fuck my best friend?" I asked him.
"...No."
"Then no." I turned back to my book. He sighed and put his airpods in. We were about an hour into the flight and I put my book down and went to get my airpods to listen to my music. I searched my bag for them. Then I realised I had left them in the car.
"Fuck." I groaned and sighed. I turned around to get Nathan's attention but him and Jess seemed like they were in a very intense conversation. I turned back around and Tom was looking at me with a smile.
"Need some help?" He asked.
"No, I just left my airpods in the car so I can't listen to music." I huffed.
"Well you can use mine." He offered.
"Really?"
"Nope." He laughed and turned back to his laptop. I sat with my arms crossed, my finger tapping my arm every second, counting the minutes.
"Okay," I slammed Tom's computer down. "Why did you sleep with Jess?" I asked.
"Oh so now you want to talk!" He scoffed. "Come on Tom just tell me." I said.
"No, you didn't want to talk so I'm not talking." He shrugged. I tried to think of something to say but I just huffed and sighed and closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep.
"Tom," I heard Jess whisper next to me about 15 minutes later. I just got to sleep. I kept my eyes closed.
"Is she asleep?" She whispered. No thanks to your annoying fucking voice.
"Yeah, why?" He whispered and leaned over me slightly.
"Maybe we could join the mile-high club." She whispered. Oh hell no. Ew ew ew! What the fuck!
"Meet me in a minute." She said and left. I wanted to tell Tom to stay and I wanted her to be gone. I can't believe I have to spend the whole weekend with these animals. Tom began to climb over me (pretty easily considering that he's Spiderman) and once he got to the aisle, he squatted so he was level with me. I kept my eyes closed.
"I know you aren't sleeping. Have fun knowing for the next while I'll be fucking your best friend." He whispered and left. I looked up and he knocked on the door and I saw her hand grab his shirt.
"Fuck this trip." I said to myself. I looked back at Nathan. He was sleeping. No wonder she got bored. 7 minutes went by. I counted it by tapping again. Jessica emerged from the bathroom. She smiled innocently as she made her way down the ailse to her seat. Then Tom came out with a huge grin on his face. I crossed my arms and he smiled at me. I lifted my legs to my chest to let him by and he sat down. We sat silently for a moment. Tom opened his mouth to speak.
"Shut up." I said.
"I didn't even-"
"Shut up." I shrugged. He laughed.
"It's fun annoying you."
"Well, be prepared Thomas. It's 1 to nothing right now but when we get to Italy...it's on." I said.
"Fine. But I'm winning right now so I'm just going to take this the way that any gentleman should." He said.
"Thank you." I sighed.
"Joking, I'll tell you all about it." He smirked. "Die in hole, Holland." I closed my eyes. He chuckled and left me alone. And I planned the revenge I would get for the rest of the flight.
