mystery of love.

Chapter Two

one week later (estella's pov)

Today was the day. The day Juliet and I go on our trip across the world to the beautiful place also known as Greece. I'm still trying to comprehend it all really. It might seem like i'm over reacting, smiling all the time, freaking out with happiness over a vacation that lasts 4 weeks, but I have never left the country so this means a lot. Especially to Greece. I have always wanted to go somewhere such as Greece, experience the culture, all of the beautiful vibrant colours and the clear oceans where you can see all of the colourful fish without having a hard time. Walking along the sand with my best friend, or that special person if I ever find them, laughing with them while watching the sunset.

It may seem silly that I always fantasize about things such as this, but its all I really do. I most definitely wont have one of those summer romances you see in novels, but I do wish I could have one. Who doesn't though? Some people say they don't want love, or it's a waste of time. They are wrong, everyone wants that one person where you look into their eyes and everything melts away, where every moment with them you'll remember for a lifetime. Where you feel like if your apart from them for one minute you feel you might explode, and with a simple brush of the hand by them gives you goosebumps. I certainly want that. I think everyone else does too, but I have also gave up on that.

Aside from all of these soppy feelings i'm having i'm currently waiting for Juli to get here to pick me up so we can go to the airport to go to Greece. Right now the clock says its "4:00am" so I am extremely tired right now, hopefully I can sleep on the plane ride. They say the estimated time for the plane ride is around 10 hours and I know I can totally sleep that long.

I sit down on my bed and cross my legs while sighing tiredly, couldn't they find a later flight? I can't complain though. As I begin thinking of the amazing nap I'll experience on the plane I am interrupted by a knock on the door. I smile and grab all my bags knowing it's Juli. I pull down my shirt as it was slowly riding up, and stare at myself in the mirror and then give myself finger guns and start skipping towards the door in utter happiness.

I open the door swiftly while a giggle as I lock the door and loop my arm threw Juli's arm and say "hey stranger!" "Hey Stella Bella". I laugh at the nickname she always calls me. We walk out of the apartment complex and put all my bags into the trunk of her car. Once we finish putting in what seems like one million bags in the back, we crawl into the car and sit in the back seats because Juli's Parents, Mark and Lilith, or Lily as we call her, are sitting in the front. The car ride to the airport was filled with laughs and total happiness, everyone was ecstatic, who wouldn't be though? I mean were going to freaking Greece.

The drive to the airport was around an hour long, but because of how much fun we were having it only felt as if it were 5 minutes in total. When we came to a stop in the parking lot we all got out and went inside the ginormous airport, I looked up at the tall ceilings and all of the people about to board their planes. Something I love doing is imagining lives for people, what their name is, their job, if they have kids, husbands or wives, and being here is a perfect place to do it.

(small time skip to inside the plane because airport processes are very long and I don't feel like writing about that, sorry)

"You nervous for the flight?" Juli asks, "not really, I plan sleeping for the most of it, but wake me up if theres food". Juli laughs at my comment. Were sitting in row 15 i'm pretty sure, so around middle of the plane. It's luckily only a two seater so me and Juliet are sitting together and not with a stranger with us.

The flight attendant starts giving this demonstration of what to do if were in a crash or emergency. Which is of course important, but extremely boring. Once the demonstration of what to do and what not do it is finished I feel the plane start moving and start preparing for lift off, if you would call it that. I look over to Juli who seems to be reading a magazine the plane gives you if your bored. Me on the other hand, I am already extremely tired, who knew that airports can be so tiering? I fight to keep my eyes open, but I groan in defeat as I lean my head on Juli's shoulder and drift into a peaceful sleep, knowing when I wake up I could be in Greece.

(time skip to when she wakes up)

I hear someone whispering my name "-lla, Estella come on wake up." I groan and look at Juli as she smiles. I rub my still tired eyes and get off of her shoulder noticing a little drool puddle on her shirt, hopefully she doesn't notice that. I laugh at myself thinking "wow I must have slept real good". She looks at me with wide eyes and a little anger and annoyance in them, I am guessing she saw the drool. We look at each other and just break into a fit of laughter trying to not cause to much of a disturbance to the other passengers.

Juli was in the window seat so to see the window I had to somewhat climb on top of her. As I look out the window I realize that were in Greece. "Oh my god Juliet" I whisper. She didn't look out the window until I said that and then we both look back at each other squealing from excitement. After calming down slightly we hear something on the plane radio with a white noise behind it. White noise, what an awful sound. "Attention ladies and gentleman we have arrived in Greece, please keep seat belts on until we land. I hope you enjoyed your flight".

I lay my head back in my seat and wait silently for the plane to land. This will be the trip of a life time.

Hey guys! So here is chapter two, I might do chapter three tonight also but if not it'll be up by tomorrow. I always try to have at least 1000 words also so its not short for you guys. Also I used a reference in the second last part of the chapter to the song Mystery of love. I mean who wouldn't reference that. Also keep in mind this book is roughly based on the story line of Call Me By Your Name, and I do not own the book or movie in any way. Well anyways have a great day and I hope your doing well! :))
