I raised my eyebrows. "How are you goin' to get- Wait, Alec, you aren't going to chat one of them up... are you?"
He simply smiled at me then winked as he stood and slowly moved up the aisle. I was nervous, but not nervous enough to overlook the roaming eyes of my fellow passengers that clung to Alec as he moved.
"Oh, for God's sakes," I muttered.
This was ridiculous, he was hot but some of these women and men were halting their movements and focusing on Alec as he walked by was just stupid. I looked away from Alec and my fellow passengers and busied myself with buckling my seatbelt. I tried tightening it as much as I could but I was slowly suffocating myself and had to loosen it a little. I read the safety booklet that came with my seat and memorised where the exits on the plane where and where my life vest was just in case.
Okay. This was going to be okay.
I was going to be okay.
I smiled and felt myself relax a little until I overheard a conversation from the two men that were seated behind me.
"Did you hear they found the plane that went missing a few weeks ago?" one man said.
"Yes, it crashed somewhere in the ocean, everyone died on impact people were sayin'. I reckon the pilot was in on it-"
I stopped listening to the men and focused on the start of their conversation. A plane crashed into the ocean... and all the passengers died on impact!
Oh, fuck no!
I unbuckled my seatbelt and jumped up to my feet so fast that Usian Bolt would see me as serious competition. I looked up and caught Alec's gaze as he walked down the aisle and towards our seats.
"I have to get off this plane," I said, my chest rapidly rising and falling.
I didn't realise how fast I was breathing but when I noticed, I started to notice everything else. I was sweating, my stomach contents threatened to spill at any given second, and I really needed to take a wee.
"Kitten, look at me."
I shook my head and pushed at Alec's chest when he blocked me into our seats. He was deluded if he thought he was keeping me here. I'd climb over the seats to get off this silver dildo if I had to!
"No, I want to go home. I don't want to be here!"
I heard my voice crack and I felt tears sting my eyes.
I sniffled loudly and lowered my head. "Alec, please, you have to get me out of here."
"Baby, I've have a drink made up for you that will relax you in just a few minutes. I promise you will feel perfectly fine flying after you drink it."
I looked up to Alec and blinked. My blinking caused my tears to fall which Alec frowned over. He lightly smiled at me as he reached out with his left hand and used his thumb to swipe away my tears. I looked away from him and down to his right hand that contained a glass.
"What's in it?" I asked when I looked back up to Alec.
"Something to make you feel better."
I was wary of the drink, Alec, and this entire situation, but I decided to take the drink and sit down because when I realised the entire fucking coach section of the plane was looking at me I wanted to die.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to react like that. I just got scared-"
"Hey, you don't need to you apologise to me or anyone else. Do you understand me?" Alec asked.
I nodded my head then lifted the glass to my lips and downed it in one go.
I smacked my lips together a few times before licking them, there was a nice fruity taste from the drink.
"No alcohol?" I questioned.
"No, you shouldn't mix alcohol with a sleeping pill."
Sleeping tablet?
"You gave me a sleepin' tablet?" I asked Alec, wide eyed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry but I figured it would be best for you sleep for the entire flight."
"You decided? How about you let me make my own bloody decisions!" I hissed in a low voice wary of our close proximity to the other passengers.
Alec sighed. "You weren't very reasonable when you were trying to make a break for it off the plane, Keela."
I scoffed. "You seemed you make the best out of that situation though didn't you? Who did you finger fuck in order to get me that drink, huh?"
Alec burst out laughing, and so did the men behind me.
My ears burned as mortification flooded me.
"I hate you!" I growled.
Alec was still laughing as he said, "I like you, kitten."
He was a bastard!
I angrily folded my arms across my chest and looked out the window of the plane. This was quite possibly the worst seat for me to be sat in right now, but looking at the airport distracted me from Alec's stupid self.
I turned forward a few minutes later and leaned back into my seat as I watched the flight crew go through their safety drills. My eyes started to get heavy then and keeping them open became a real struggle.
Time seemed to fold then because suddenly the passengers were fully seated, the crew was in their own area safely strapped into their seats and the plane was moving.
Not only was it moving, but it was up in that damn air.
"Wow!" I shouted.
How did it take off without me noticing?
I all but flattened my face to the small window just so I could see outside.
"That's a big fuckin' cloud!"
I felt hands on me then and laughter in my ear as I was gently pulled back to my seated position.
"Rein it in kitten and close your eyes for me."
I looked to Alec whose face was blurry, all I could make out were his eyes.
"Your eyes are pretty."
The corners of his pretty blue eyes creased.
"Yeah? Well, I just happen to think you have pretty eyes too little kitten."
I giggled.
Yep, giggled.
"I like your voice," I murmured as I leaned forward.
"What else do you like about me?" Alec's voice asked from a distance.
