"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.
"Abs," I answered, "and your ass."
I heard laughter, but it was far away.
Everything stopped and my mind went blank, the last thing I saw was a pair of pretty blue eyes staring down at me before darkness consumed me.
I was uncomfortable.
The mattress on my bed was either lumpy as hell or Storm's paws were underneath me and were digging into my back.
I wanted to tell him to move but my throat felt funny, like it was tingling.
I slowly blinked my eyes open and just as I was about to sit up I froze. I heard an annoying high-pitched giggle and it confused the hell out of me.
Who the hell was giggling?
I focused my eyes on my surroundings and after a few seconds I remembered where I was. I was on the plane heading to the Bahamas for Micah's and Jason's wedding. I was just waking up but I didn't remember falling asleep. I remember freaking out about flying on the plane then Alec giving me a drink.
A drugged up drink to relax me... or to knock me out.
I wasn't sat upright like I thought I was. I was leaning to the right on a hard surface. Without being fully coherent, I still knew it was Alec's chest that I was leaning on and that was why my back was hurting.
I was about to sit upright and stretch so my back would crack but the giggling that I heard before sounded again and it fully got my attention.
Let it be known that I have no claim on Alec, he is my fake boyfriend and is on this plane as a favour to me. I don't like him in that way or want him to feel trapped from flirting with other girls.
That being said, he should not fucking flirt with an air hostess when I am lying across his fucking chest!
"What is goin' on here?" I asked in my firmest tone as I pushed myself upright.
It was hard though because I had just woken up and my voice was crackling. I doubt I sounded like anything other than a chain smoker.
I wanted to smile when the air hostess who was leaning into Alec jumped upright like a fish out of water.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty."
How dare he try and be nice when he was flirting with the air hostess while I was sleeping on him.
He was a free agent, but hello, I was laying on him!
I cut my eyes to him and glared. "Keep your tongue behind your teeth before I cut it off."
Alec's eyebrows jumped. "You aren't a morning person, are you?"
Was I that obvious?
"No, and I don't like mornin' people... or mornin's... or people."
"Wow, I'm a lucky guy to have you, baby."
Sarcastic pig!
"Blow me."
Alec snorted then looked to the air hostess who was still frozen like a statue.
"Are you okay, sweetie?" he asked her.
Sweetie?
Puh-lease!
The woman snapped out of her daze and focused on Alec, the smile that overtook her face was so big that I felt sorry for her cheeks.
"I'm great Mr. Slater, thank you."
"I'm great Mr. Slater, thank you," I mimicked the woman's voice.
The woman abruptly excused herself so she could go back to work. I didn't say goodbye or watch her leave, though I'm sure Alec did.
"You're fuckin' disgustin'. You couldn't wait to try and join the mile high club with air hostess Barbie until a time when I am not sleeping on you?"
I cracked my back, folded my arms across my chest and looked straight ahead.
"Keela?"
I set my jaw. "What?"
"What makes you think I'm not already a part of the mile high club?"
I snapped my head to Alec, unfolded my arms and shoved him.
"You really are disgustin'!"
"Don't knock it until you try it."
I scoffed. "I don't think so, playboy."
Alec's laughter stopped and a growl took its place. "It was funny the first few times you called me that but stop it now, please."
I smiled as I looked out the plane window. "I don't think so, playboy."
I felt Alec's glare so I turned to look at him and smiled when I found him all but drilling holes into me with his eyes.
"If looks could kill, I'd be dead," I joked.
"My pretty eyes won't harm you, don't worry."
Conceited much?
"Did you just call your own eyes pretty?"
Alec devilishly grinned then and it made me slightly uneasy.
"No, you said I have pretty eyes."
Was he high?
"Are you in your right mind? I have never said you have pretty eyes-"
"Yes, you have. Right before you fell asleep. You said I have pretty eyes."
I felt my face heat up.
It was the shite he gave me to knock me out that said that, not me!
"Did I say anythin' else?" I murmured.
Alec leaned in close to me and whispered is a slow, seductive voice, "You said you like my voice, my abs, and my ass."
