Chapter 7
I woke up to the flight attendant gently nudging me awake; apparently, I had missed dinner, and even the breakfast service was about to be missed.
I took my breakfast and some coffee. Instinctively I looked over and saw Creeper and Barbie had moved to a cozier setting, laughing and being playful. His gaze barely noticed me," I should be relieved," I said to myself instead; I missed his attention. Was I that shallow?
I tuned them out, but my gaze drifted towards Creeper; where did I know him from....did he know me?? Panic gripped my nerves, and I looked at him again, this time catching his gaze while he was leaning toward Barbie; he frowned a bit, trying to decipher my gaze, and then suddenly, he was kissing Barbie, and he winked at me. I felt heat creeping up my face. You have got to be kidding me; this had to stop. This weird push and pull we had going on.
Finally, the pilot announced the landing, and I had been a little nervous about going to the wedding in the first place. What if someone recognized me? Rather, how would these so-called high society snobs react to me, thinking I'm a nobody with no family, status, nobility, or value add as per them. These things weren't important to me; I had once taken a chance on love ignoring all this, and that's how I ended up here. Derailed my life, but still, I would rather have done that and ended up learning a lesson; it's not about who you are as a person, but it's always about what you bring to the table. " I bring a dazzling personality, and I'm a fucking delight to be around," Amara thought and then groaned inwardly" Who am I kidding? These society leeches don't care about that....I was Loyal, hardworking, intelligent, and Had a backbone.
These things were important to me, and whoever thought they were essential attributes in a partner was the person I sought. In the past almost five years, I had mastered the art of masking my emotions behind a fake dazzling smile, which annoyed people trying to get a reaction out of me. My mind drifted to something else, it was Almost five years, and the clock was ticking; I was running out of Time, but I couldn't bother myself with that.
At this moment, I was just happy I'd finally get rid of these two. I just wanted to relax for the next 7 days and have the Time of my life.
