An Arranged Marriage With Chace Crawford {Watty Awards Winner 2013}

Chapter 27

“Okay so I checked the tickets Mom sent me and saw that our flight is for London, United Kingdom,” Chace said as we sat together in the sitting room watching television. Tomorrow was to be our flight and we had already packed the bags.

“Alright, so how long is the vacation in London?” I asked casually.

He shook his head. “I don’t know. But it’s our first stop. We are going on a European tour remember?”

I nodded in understanding. “So after London…?”

“I have the places all mapped out. I just need your approval,” he said and handed a page to me.

I scrolled over it. “London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Athens and… that’s it.”

“We can explore the places near these cities like in UK we can go to Scotland because I have heard it’s a beautiful place. In France, there is Disneyland, if you get my drift.”

I shrugged. “Where is Switzerland?” I asked.

“In Europe,” he said confused.

“I meant, why isn’t it on the list?”

“You want to go to Switzerland?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty.”

He looked at me then nodded. “Sure, add that to the list.”

I suddenly felt bad. I was wasting his money. “No it’s alright,” I swatted a hand through the air. “It’s no big deal.”

He gave me ‘yeah right’ look and wrote down Switzerland under Athens. “Switzerland has good spots, which city do you want to visit?”

I looked away. “Wherever you like.”

“What about all the cities with the best attractions?”

I gaped at him. “They are so many!”

He shrugged. “I don’t mind –”

I quickly interjected. “Let’s just keep it to Zurich and Geneva.”

He looked at me as if contemplating something. “Fine,” he finally sighed.

I smiled. “Where do you want to go?”

He smirked. “I wrote down all the places I wanted to go.”

I rolled my eyes. “Of course you would do that,” I muttered under my breath.

He just laughed loudly.

“Have you got everything?”

Chace let out a frustrated sigh. “Yes Alex, I have got everything.”

I shrugged. I didn’t know why he was getting so worked up. I had just asked this question for the sixth time. However I decided to remain quiet the remaining journey.

We reached the airport in record time and eventually reached the airline counter.  Chace did the necessary things to be done and we deposited the luggage there. We then went through Immigration and security checks. We waited for our flight to be called in the waiting area in the assigned gate.

Finally the announcement came.

Hand in hand, we went through the boarding easily. Chace was wearing sun glasses and a hat over his face so that he could remain undiscovered under the watchful eyes of his fans. The air hostess eyes bulged out when she saw the name on the pass of Chace.

Chace quickly hushed her. “I will give you an autograph if you lead us to our seats –quietly.”

She nodded at once and led us to our seats. She kept asking if he wanted something and Chace kept waving her off. Finally, she left us at peace when a steward waved her over to him.

“Does this happen often?” I asked curiously.

He shook his head. “I travel in the private jet usually.”

I nodded and fastened my seatbelt. “Why aren’t you travelling in it now?”

“Mom and dad are taking your parents somewhere in Hawaii for a vacation,” he informed.

I frowned. “Why didn’t I know about this?”

He shrugged. “How would I know?”

I dismissed the thought and got comfortable in my seat as I leaned my head on his shoulder. “So what am I supposed to do now?”

He leaned his head on top of mine. “Well you can go to sleep, or watch a movie.”

I squinted my eyes at the little television. “How long is the flight anyway?”

“Up to 11 hours,” he said aloof.

I groaned. “I am sleeping.”

But against my words, I started to watch a movie to keep myself occupied. After watching two movies one after the other, I finally felt my eyes close on their own accord and fell asleep.

“Alexandria, Alex wake up.”

I moaned slightly.

“Alex!”

My eyes fluttered opened and my breath hitched in my throat as I saw sparkling grey eyes staring straight in to mine.

“The food’s here.”

I bit my lip and sat us straight from my leaning on the window. The hostess asked us our food choices and laid the tray in front of us. Chace and I didn’t speak a word as we ate our food. A while later the air hostess came back to take the trays. Then I shifted myself to watch a movie once again.

The next time I woke up, I found myself on the lap of Chace which made me go red instantly. However, we were about to land soon.

“Chace, wake up,” I shook him vigorously.

He opened his eyes immediately. “Woman, do you want to break my neck?” he asked gawking at me.

I sent him a sheepish smile. “Sorry.”

“Haha,” he mocked but smiled to show that he was just teasing.

I rolled my eyes. “We are landing.”

“I realized that,” he said with a smirk.

I shook my head and sat up straight. He smiled and both of us waited for the flight to land. When the flight landed, we went straight to the baggage claim after going through another counter.

“What’s the hotel?”

“Hilton,” he said and I breathed in the smoky London air.

Honeymoon Vacations, here we come.
