Part 6

*** to the right you'll see Sean Opry which I imagine as Alexander*****

"you've been moved to first class ma'am" the woman at flight check says smiling fakely at me. I blink to understand what she just said to me. "first class?" I ask confused. But it sets in all too soon. Kicks me out of Italy but moves me to first class, generous. "I'd rather stay in commercial" I say grabbing my stuff waiting for my ticket. "are you sure? Theres-" i roll my eyes. "I'm sure" she hands me my ticket and i make my way to the door.

As soon as im boarding my phone rings. Its Zayn.

I hesitate before opening his text.

| from: zayn malik:

Houston huh? What the fuck are you going to do there?|

I delete it and continue walking.

Around my window seat is the usual. The young couple with loud kids, the journalist with his irritating typing and the handsome Arabian who will get looked at just for being Arabian. I flash a quick smile at him and he smiles back putting his earphones into his ears. Nobody has arrived at the aisle seat next to me and i pray it stays that way.i turn my attention back to my baggage, I grab my heavy bag and shove it into the cabinet- or try atleast. It falls right back into my hands. 'fuck' i mutter. I get on my tiptoes and jump trying unsuccessfully to shove my bag into its place.

"would you like a hand?" a deep voice whispers behind me.

I almost drop my bag before turning around and facing an extremely chiseled jaw. He towers over me looking straight at me. He's carrying a bag with some kind of patch on the side. Oh shit. A medical bag, he's a doctor. His grey blue eyes crinkle as he sees me struggling "I'm okay i can reach" i say trying one last time. "please, let me help you" he whispers again. I give up and hand him my bag. He swiftly places it inside the cabinet, effortlessly. I smell enchanting cologne radiating off him like fuckin diamonds, I sigh and take my seat opening my purse to grab my phone. The extremely dark haired blue eyed handsome man beside me sits down too, and calls for a flight attendant , one quickly runs towards him. Well.

"water please" he mutters. "certainly sir, anything for the lady?" she asks. I nod my head no and look down at my phone, hoping to find any texts from zayn. But unfortunately my inbox is empty. The doctor besides me now has a book in his hand, his eyes scrolling and taking every bit of information possible. I look away and pretend to be busy on my phone.

I jump when the flight attendant returns with his water. He takes it and says a quiet thanks. I check my calls, nothing. I check my email nothing, I check my instagram and my heart rate falters, my stomach drops and there on my screen is a picture of zayn with her, his celebrity girlfriend. My breathing accelerates. "oh my god" I whisper.

"are you alright?" the doctor says placing a hand over my chest. His voice startles me even more. Its so smooth and comforting "drink my water" he gives me the water and I embarrassingly take it. He tries to calm me down but the attention makes everything worse. "I'm fine" I lie. "you're obviously not, do you not like planes?" he asks. I shake my head and he continues to examine me. "I'm sorry It was just a panic attack"

"I see, dont scare me like that"

"I'm sorry" I repeat myself. "utmb?" he asks.

"what?" utmb? The name of my soon to be study dream.

"University of Texas medical branch, am I correct?" he asks chuckling lightly. He's glancing at my phone and on the screen there's a picture of my acceptance email.

"oh that" I laugh.

"I'm being transferred there" he says. His eyes light up and he puts his book away. "I just got accepted in their nursing program" I happily say.

"well congratulations, that's amazing, one of the best programs in the country" he says taking the empty cup from my hand and holding it out into the aisle for a flight attendant to take.

"what kind of doctor are you if its okay to ask?" he was transferring to my school? Was i dreaming?

"I'm an Electrophysiologist, a cardiac Electrophysiologist" he says smiling. A Cardiac Electrophysiologist? How the hell? He didnt look a day over twenty and he had 12 years of studying? No way.

"what?!" I almost shouted. Here I was thinking I was hot shit for being accepted to a nursing program.

"I'm 26" he said laughing. Noticing my surprised reaction. "thats still too young how-"

"I graduated at 16 years old"

Oh my god. "thats still not enough time how did-"

He laughed even more, my surprised look never ceased to amuse him.

"tell me about yourself" he smiles leaning toward me to give me his full attention.

My head races to think of any interesting facts about me but its all blank.

"I .. Want to be a nurse?" i sigh and he laughs. "you'll get there in no time"

"you make more than 200grand a year why are you not flying first class?" I ask him.

"honestly what's the difference? I wouldn't have met such a lovely lady like you if I was drinking airplane champagne right now" he said in a lovely accent. God he was the walking contradiction of Zayn.

Ugh why can't I stop thinking about him. "so you're heading to Houston right now?" he asks.

I nod my head. "well Galveston doesn't have an airport, Houston is the closest i can get... I'll have to figure out where I can stay for a while"

he squints as of he's thinking hard.

"well we're going to be working in the same hospital right?" he asks.

"...yes" I skeptically observe him. He runs his tongue over his bottom lip and he moves to face me.

"just stay with me while you get that sorted out"

My eyes widened. No way. No fucking way. "what-i"

"i understand its kind of rushed and we don't know each other but eventually we'll be working together and it just seems like the right thing for me to ..do" his convincing words dangle in the air and I stare at him in shock.

"I dont even know your name" I whisper.

he points at his bag and on a gold little pendant read "Dr. Alexander Gio Pierce "

"that's a mouthful" god even his name was hot. Was I in love already?

"Your mother should have just stuck with Alexander the great" I joke around and he nods slightly.

"well what do you say to my very respectful offer?" he chuckles.

"give me the plane ride to think about it" his eyes shine as he looks away. Okay I was in love, ring the bells.
