[This is a pre-boarding announcement for passengers travelling in flight 23B to Hillwood, the flight has been delayed by five hours due to bad weather....]
"WHAT THE FUCK! FIVE FREAKING HOURS!? WHAT DO I DO BY THAT TIME LAY EGGS OR WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS?"
Emma yelled while grinding her teeth, her black hair with honey brown highlights swayed as she moved away to find a secluded space, her blue eyes were blazing with anger.
"Christmas will not come within five hours and for the egg part, I think we are mammals right? So we don't lay eggs" after saying this a the woman started to laugh hysterically, her blonde hair which was tied into a bun shook with her movements.
Emma blushed in embarrassment, she replied in an angry and hushed voice, "Miss Gilbert if you want to stay alive so keep quiet!"
Thea continued to laugh 'ha your so innocent Emma that I love to pull your leg'
"Ok now don't be angry and let's grab some cookies, come on"
"Ok" she replied sulkily as if she was still angry
"Oh wait I think it's my boyfriend's call I need to take this call why don't you grab some cookies and wait for me hmm?" Her green eyes twinkled, Emma frowned when she saw this.
"Fine but come back quickly"
"Yes, yes don't worry" she replied while sticking out her tongue
'Ah it's going to take at least one hour, I know for sure' because whenever she sticks out her tongue it means she will do exactly the opposite what you ask her to do it was something she used to from her childhood days
She dragged herself to the cookie store and bought herself some cookies.
Since many flights were delayed the airport was quite crowded which made Emma quite uncomfortable it's not like she hated the sight of other people or she looked down on the other people it's just that she was suffering from agoraphobia.
She quickly bought some chocolate cookies and took a seat while placing the cookies besides her, to distract herself she started to read a book while she ignored who is sitting beside her.
As she was eating her cookies suddenly a big hand came in and started to dig in the packet of the cookies from which she was eating.
She frowned at his rude behaviour and ignored the person while continuing to read her book, she wanted to the look at this rude person's face but again she'll get distracted, times like these she has to be extra careful.
'Tch I should have asked mom to send me the private jet, at least I wouldn't have to be in the crowd'
Again that hand took her cookies,
So she stubbornly took three cookies and shove it in her mouth.
Again he took but he only one cookie decently as if he was mocking her that he has some manners unlike her.
The battle for the cookies went on for a few minutes.
Finally, the volcano in her head erupted and lost her mind, she looked at the person who rudely took her cookies as if it were his cookies.
The moment she looked at the face all the noises made by people ceased down her eyes shook when she saw his beauty, he had a straight nose, light purple eyes which were twinkling under the lights, sharp jawline.
He bent his eyes beautifully, her heartbeat wildly at his handsome face on top of that his black hair which had violet hue were the best thing, they were much smoother than hers.
'Oh my God is he even a human?'
With a sudden realization that she was staring at him for some time, she moved her eyes back to the packet of cookies.
"Um... This is my cookies..."
She completely ignored the fact that a volcano had erupted above her head because of the same cookies
"Pfft.."
"huh?"
She again moved her eyes towards his direction and saw him laughing 'what's so funny that he is laughing?'
"Why don't you turn your head and have a look at your left side?"
"huh?"
As he said she turned her head and saw a packet of cookies unopened. The world came crashing down, her face turned crimson red in embarrassment.
She had to summon hell out of energy to turn her head towards his direction, when their eyes met she saw his eyes were crescent shape as it was laughing at her.
"I-I am extremely sorry... Why don't you take my cookies? Hmm?"
She cutely rolled her eyes to and fro without meeting his eyes.
He didn't reply but watched her flushed face in admiration as if he liked it.
'God he is so handsome, my heart can't handle his beauty but the fact that you are still beating it seems like you can handle it'
He then mumbled something and again looked at me I gave him a questioning look
"What is your name?"
"Ah. Yes, My name is Emma Snow"
"My name is Leonard Salvatore"
"Nice to meet you Mr. Leonard" I smiled politely then my gaze fell on the man who stands behind him when I observed him closely I noticed him sweating buckets his dark brown hair was wet and his brown eyes were shaking so was his whole body I didn't understand why he was behaving like this even though the airport was a bit crowded but the temperature was a bit chilly.
"And who is this gentleman?"
"He is my secretary Mr. Hans. Hans, she is Emma Snow"
He introduced us to each other and I gave him a polite smile
"It seems Mr. Hans is not feeling well why don't you grab some medicines? Or do you have one?" I asked him in a worried tone
"N-No ma'am I am totally fine I think it's the weather that makes me feel a little scared but it's nothing serious"
Before I replied I heard someone calling my name "Emma! Here behind you!"
I waved back at Thea and gestured her to come over.
"Gosh Emma I thought you would be... " her voice trailed off when she saw Damon.
'Yeah girl I know what you are going through now but I'll break your cute little fantasy bubble right now hehe' I laughed like an underworld boss.
"So how was your call with your boyfriend?" I purposely emphasized the word 'boyfriend' so that she could come back to reality.
As if she was reading my thoughts she scowled at me and I giggled at her situation even Mr. Hans gave a silent laugh as if he understood but I noticed that Damon did not give any response and had a very cold look.
"So Mr. Leonard are you boarding the flight which is going to take off to Hillwood?"
"Yes, is it the same case for you?"
I nodded in response.
"Uh. How many hours are left, Thea?"
"Four hours more to go"
I made an angry face and continued reading my book. While Damon continued to work on his laptop. Though there was nothing to talk about but it wasn't an awkward silence also.
********
[Few hours later...]
"Finally I'm boarding the plane"
"Hell yeah I got so bored that I even memorized all the shops in the airport"
"pfft"
We reached our seats in the business class, Thea was eager to throw her handbag and just lie down on the seat, even I was too exhausted to talk, though we didn't do any work.
Being stuck in the airport for five hours on top of that it was quite crowded, seriously it was a headache.
"What a pleasant surprise Ms. Emma!"
I turned my head towards the owner of the voice and saw Mr. Hans smiling face unlike before where he was trembling in fear.
"Where is your seat?"
"Just behind yours"
"And where is Mr. Leonardo's?"
"It's here" a deep voice pierced through my ears I turned my head and saw his seat was on the left window seat whereas my seat was on right window seat unlike Mr Hans, Thea was seated next to my seat and not behind me.
I smiled and said, "what a pleasant surprise"
"It seems we are destined to be together"
"...."
"...."
My face screamed red due to his words how can someone say such words? To whom they met for only a few hours?
"seeing that your face blushing it seems you are embarrassed but why are you embarrassed?"
I glared at his face for saying those words, he then smiled and said, "I was saying that we are destined to sit in the same row what were you thinking in that brain of yours?"
I opened and closed my mouth like a fish, unable to give him a reply.
"There is something you are expecting from me."
"I-I think the flight is going to take off let's get seated"
Thankfully he stopped talking but I could feel that he was still smiling at me from behind
'Oh Jesus save me'
**********
Behind Emma a person was sitting, she had long black hair with a reddish hue she was wearing blue-black hoodie and dark blue jeans.
She quietly watched a young woman who was being teased by a very handsome man, well she had been watching them since that cookie incident.
It was very cute and they both look good together just like a male and female lead of a story.
She smiled and stared outside the window, the black clouds were floating and the sun was setting, her face glowed from the falling sunlight and her honey brown eyes were shining but those eyes held sadness in them.
She sighed and took out a book, the title
Yes, without her education and a successful job she wouldn't have been able to escape from that hell.
Finally, she escaped that hell.
As the fight flew, the black clouds that were covering the beautiful sky slowly dispersed away.
