"Just Friends."

Chapter Thirty Seven.

Chapter Thirty Seven.

            I didn’t ever want to leave Las Vegas but here we all were, at the airport waiting to get boarded onto our flight. This week has been one of the best ones of my life despite what happened to me with the whole pill in my drink thing. It was embarrassing if I can be honest but thankfully no one really brought it up and just pretended as if it didn’t happen. I’d like to keep it that way.

            “Casey what seat do you have?” I asked.

            “Thirty one A. Which one do you have?”

            “We’re in the row behind you I think. Justin has a bunch of movies that he bought for us to watch. He’s so cute.”

            Immediately looking away from me, she just nodded her head slightly and focused her attention back on Scott, which was weird. I mean I know I talk about Justin a lot but I never thought it was to the point where someone would get annoyed with me but it’s not like I really care. The only person that floated throughout my brain was Justin and it’s just so rare for me to fall for someone or honestly give my all to someone. He’s that person and I couldn’t have chosen anyone better.

            “Reina.” Mark said, interrupting my thoughts. “We’re boarding.”

            “Oh. Okay. Where’s Justin?”

            “I’m here baby.”

            Then his arms came around my waist from behind and I smiled like a little kid as he kissed my cheek and walked us over to get on the flight.

            “Aren’t you hot? It’s like eighty degrees in here.”

            Tugging on the hem of his sweatshirt, he cleared his throat and sent me one of his grins that almost made my heart skip a beat it seemed like.

            “Nope. I’m freezing.”

            “Yeah. Tell that to the sweat on your forehead.”

            He brought his hand up to wipe away the dampness, fixing his backpack over to one shoulder instead of two.

            “I wasn’t thinking when I got dressed this morning. I don’t know.”

            “And it was our last morning in Las Vegas and I woke up to find you in the shower already. You didn’t want to do anything, hm?”

            “You and your damn questions.” He chuckled, tugging me towards our seat. “I just didn’t want to wake you up.”

            “I know but-“

            “Reina. I promise I’ll make up for it okay?”

            Sitting down onto the blue leather seat, I buckled myself in and began to shuffle through my backpack to find everything I needed. He did the same and put our carry-ons over head, sinking down next to me and buckling his seatbelt as well. He seemed to be in a weird mood but instead of questioning him, I put my headphones in and looked out of the window until he immediately tapped my shoulder.

            “What?” I asked, taking my headphones out.       

            “The movies. I got them for us to watch.”
            “You still want to?”
