Find me

First Class

"Flight 836, Boarding now." I hear a sweet female voice say over my head.

"That's us, time to go." Millie taps my shoulder. 

"You ready, Babe?" Finn asks, Intertwining his fingers with mine. If I answer honestly, no. I've never been on a plane before. Forget about First Class. But, I know he's worried.

"Of course. You're not going to let anything happen." I say, leaning up to kiss his cheek. He smiles and blushes.

"You got that right." He tells me, smiling.

******************************

We board the plane and I sit with Finn. One of the flight attendance stand up and starts to talk about the safety of the plane. (Change what he said to Delta)

Everyone was cracking up.  I start laughing. Today's Mom's birthday. I start crying quietly. Finn faces me and holds my face in hands, trying to erase the tears. But he can't. They won't stop. I've held back so many, that I can't control it. They consume me. I see one trickle down his cheek and I pull him close. When he's close, I don't want him to leave. When he holds me, I feel safer than I ever have before. And that scares the fuck out of me. After about ten minutes of him holding me to him, the flight attendant starts to speak again.

"All righty folks. It's time to put on those hot pink Speedo's, and sit tight. If you feel the ground shake, It's 'cause we're not on the ground anymore. Thank you for choosing Delta Airlines, I'll see you around." 

I move away from Finn just long enough to get through the take-off. But that doesn't stop him from holding my hand the whole time. When the turbulence hit, I squeeze his hand. He turns to me and cups my face in his open hand.

"Just look at me. Look at me. Okay?" I nod, trying(and failing) to smile.

I feel the plane stop shaking  and watch as the 'fasten belts' light darken.

"Wanna tell me what happened?" Finn asks while helping me out of my belt.

"You know how yesterday was my birthday right?" He nods, shifting so his whole body is facing me. "Well, I was kind of an early Birthday gift to Mom. I was born the day before her birthday." I tell him as more tears fall. "We hadn't celebrated together in years, because of..." I trail off, and Finn gives me a look that let's me know that I'm safe now. "Yeah. But when I was little, we'd make a huge cake, then blow out the candles, and then eat half of it, and clean up the mess all together. All before he got home." I've run out of tears. 

Finn looks at me with a look only he gives me. Love. I don't think. I just act. I lean over and kiss him. He doesn't kiss back right away. But, as soon as he gets over the shock of my impulsiveness, our lips are moving in sync. I feel his hand on my back, rubbing circles. I involuntarily move my hand to his hair, lacing my fingers through the dark curls. But, way too soon, I can't breathe. I, reluctantly, pull back. But I keep my head on his, panting.

"Whoa" he whispers against my lips. I giggle. He pulls me in for a hug.

"I have a question." He says after a moment.

"Hmm?"

"What happened to Rainbow?" Finn asks. I laugh, loud.

This is great. Finn grabs his phone. I start panicking.

"Finn! What the fuck are you doing? you can't use you're phone one a Plane! Are you fucking CRAZY?" I talk fast, he laughs at me and calls the flight attendant.
