If I Saw You Earlier

Chapter 44

Me Eric and James sat next to each other on the plane. Eric charmed the old woman to change her seat with his. And of corse it worked.

I sat in the middle, James next to the window and Eric next to me. I was sitting next to an angel and next to Eric, a guy I was about to kiss.

The plane lifted easily and James was holding my hand. It was A long flight with the two of them. We had to wait in another airport. Then stay there for 8 hours. I didn't know what else was next.

I took out a book I found in front of me. It was not a good book. It was about safety on a plane. And it was not even a book. Only ten pages. Safety on a plane in 10 pages...

" Alice are you ok?". I turned to James. He looked at me with a worried look. Was he asking me this because I was sitting next to Eric?
" yeah I am fine, it's just.. Why Spain?". I wanted to know of he chose random destinations or he planned this thing.

" well, I have a house there and It will make us be alone". He said giving me a look I understood right away. He didn't want to talk about this in front of Eric.

" Alice, how did you and James meet?". Eric was trying to do something.

" we met when he started in my class and we started talking and before we knew it we were a couple". I said it and suddenly I started thinking myself. When did all of that start?

" oh, I see". Eric smiled and I knew that smile. He gave me that smile when I do something stupid. Like when I was a kid and I watered the lawn when it was raining.

He saw me and have me that smile but then laughed. I told him my mom told me to do that on Monday, but she did not know it will rain.

" I will be right back". James squeezed himself out and me and Eric sat alone.
