The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. However, Ivan was not a morning person. He neatly went back to sleep after the alarm clock rang when he realized that he got a flight to catch this morning.
He went to the bathroom, took a warm morning shower, brushed his teeth, and put on his clothes. He took the lugging with him when he left the room. He took once last look at the room to see whether he forgot something or not.
He went downstairs with his two luggage one big and one small and his medium backpack. He put the luggage in the living room and saw that Fredrick was already up, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"You're up! Let's get some breakfast before we're leaving."
"Okay!"
This time they had a British style breakfast. Ivan ate quickly in order to avoid delaying the flight. After they had done eating breakfast, it was nearly 8:00 AM.
Ivan urged Fredrick to hurry up and so they finally left the house at 8 o'clock. They arrived at the airport in 20 mins. Fredrick took Ivan's big suitcase in his one hand, and the other held Ivan's hand. Fredrick led Ivan through the crowd and arrived at the custom.
The airport staff all knew who was Fredrick so they directly cleared the way for him and his companion. Ivan stupidly looked at the smiling guard and other staff and turned to look at Fredrick.
"Don't we need to check in first?"
Fredrick didn't haul his step while answering Ivan, "We don't need to. They all knew me."
Ivan now understood why they passed so easily. For some reason, he felt lucky to have Fredrick here at this moment.
Both of them walked directly into the VIP lounge. It was now 8:45 AM. Seeing that it was near the boarding time, he turned to the man who sat on his right side.
"You can go home first. No need to wait with me."
Ivan tried to persuade this clingy man to go back home but eventually gave up because he didn't even budge.
"I'll just wait until you board the plane then I will go, okay?"
Ivan met those puppy eyes of Fredrick, his soft heart couldn't help but agreed to his request of him staying here with him. When the clock hit 9:00 AM, they heard the staff announcement that those who on 9 o'clock flight, need to get on the board now.
Ivan stood up and took his luggage with him, walked toward the VIP terminal. He soon found that Fredrick also followed behind him with Ivan's big luggage pulling along the way.
Ivan urged him to go home, but all he got was 'Just a little when you get on the plane I will leave.'
Therefore, Ivan sped up his walking on the red carpet and finally got on the plane. What he didn't notice was that this passage was only for the one who has a private jet. Otherwise, they couldn't even go it from the start of the flight procedure.
However, Ivan didn't have time to reprimand Freddrick because he was shocked during sorting out his luggage when he saw the interior design of the plane that he boarded.
Ivan widen his eyes and turned around to find the man behind and was speechless of that smiling face. He didn't even hear the sound echoing when he first stepped into the plane. All the flight attendants greeting Fredrick one by one. So 'Greeting, Mr. Radford and Mr. Coleman! Welcome on board!' was filled the entire hallway at the entrance of the plane.
Fredrick just nodded at them and said thank to every person that greeted him. He turned to Ivan who was just stood around foolishly.
"Do you like it?"
Ivan didn't hear the question, immediately launched himself toward Fredrick.
"What's happening here? Tell me whose plane did we board? Isn't there a mistake here? This is a private airplane, right? How come they lead us here without the owner knowing that someone board on their plane? More importantly, why are you still here?"
Ivan threw a bunch of questions to Fredrick and he just laughed it off.
"Calm down! First, this is mine so don't worry about boarding the wrong plane. And second, I also have a business to attend to in C country. Moreover, you also tell me that you have a business in C country, too. So I think why not we go together on my private jet. That's why you are here on this plane with me."
Fredrick slowly explained step by step to Ivan was shocked silly. He then led Ivan to sit down on the chair, put the safety belt on him, and told the staff to take off.
Ivan was still bewildered about the situation so he just let Fredrick help him with all of that stuff. Ivan decided to close his eyes a little bit in order to relax his mind and told Fredrick not to disturb him.
Fredrick saw that his kitty look tired so he no longer disturbed his rest. He told the pilot to try to drive steady and told the staff to make a bed. Then he picked up his kitty from the chair and found that he had completely fallen asleep and didn't even wake up from the noise and the movement of carrying him in a princess style.
Ivan woke up after 2 hours of sleep. He sat up then noticed that he was sleeping on a bed and in some sort of a small bedroom with lavish design, and there was an arm on his waist that belonged to a sleeping man beside him.
The flight to C country from A country lasted 12 hours. Now it'd been 2 hours since he boarded the plane with Fredrick. He carefully lifted the hand from his waist, then he proceeded to exit the room.
Then he met a female flight attendant the moment he stepped out from the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Coleman! How may I help you?"
"Good morning! Can I ask you something?"
"Yes, sure! We're pleased to help you."
"Is this jet really Fredrick's?"
The female flight attendant was quite surprised by how the man in front of her casually address Mr. Radford by his first name. However, as a professional, she quickly calmed herself down and answered his question.
"Yes, Mr. Coleman! This plane was bought by Mr. Radford for 500 million in A country's currency which included the cost of the design. The pilots and our flight attendants are exclusive employees for Mr. Radford's private jet. So there's only a few of us here."
"I see! Thank you for your information. By the way, where could I find the restroom?"
The female attendant pointed at the back of his, "You can go into the room that you previously came from. There you can find a restroom which is on the right."
"Thank you!"
As he was told, he went back to the room that he came from. He opened the door and saw that Fredrick had woken up. He walked up to him and sat down on the bed.
"You actually bought this for half a billion. Seriously, what's it for?"
When Fredrick heard Ivan's question, he didn't immediately answer. He laid down on the bed and lazily smiled at Ivan.
"Well, it is convenient. It is fast and we have privacy. The reason is pretty simple as that."
Ivan huffed a big sigh. He didn't understand what was on the mind of rich people. He did agree that having a private was really convenient.
"Let's sleep a little bit more. It is nearly lunchtime so when we wake up we can have lunch."
As he said, he grabbed Ivan's wrist and pulled him back to the bed and proceeded to embrace him. Ivan tried to struggle from his holding.
"Let me go! I can't when someone holding me like this."
"Just get used to it from now on."
Ivan tried a few more times but Fredrick was like a rock. No matter how much effort he put, it was full fruitless. The more he struggled to be free, the tighter the embrace was.
In the end, he chose to surrender because he was too exhausted from this one-sided fight. He didn't know whether he could fall asleep with a situation like this. Ivan took any pillows that he could find one, he put on his side face as his body turned around made his back facing the front body of Fredrick.
After turning for a while, Ivan eventually fell in a deep sleep. At that moment, the one who was pretended to be sleeping suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes kept staring at the white pillow on his kitty's side face.
'His odd habit of sleeping makes me lose to chance to kiss him.' was all Fredrick's thought and then he chose to sleep to because no matter what he could kiss him one day. And that day would have soon happened.
