When Aaron caught me watching Murder On The Orient Express on the plane previously, he teased me for being boring as nobody would watch thriller flicks on planes.
Sensing my gaze, the girl looked sideways at me. She took off her glasses to reveal her pair of large, blue eyes. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It's you again!"
I flashed her a small smile, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I'm really sorry."
She shrugged her shoulders, "Stop apologizing so much. I told you that it's okay."
Her gaze fell on the book in my hand and she exclaimed, "We're reading the same book! Mr. Granger told me that the girl whom he likes also loves to read this book."
I was surprised by her remark and couldn't help but think that she was sort of adorable. Then, I replied to her with a smile, "The flight time is long, so I can only read to kill time."
She agreed, "That's what Mr. Granger always says. He always likes bringing a book with him when he's on a plane to kill time. Thanks to him, I now habitually bring a book whenever I leave the house."
Although she was complaining, she kept mentioning Mr. Granger. I couldn't help but laugh, "Are you married at such a young age?"
She turned a little shy, "No, not yet. We just got engaged. The wedding will be held in May."
When the plane took off, the stewardess came forward to adjust the seat tables and check the cargo.
Once we were up in the air, there was still time until I reached my destination. As such, I closed my book and my eyes to have some rest.
Since I've already gone through the layover, it won't be long now until I arrive.
I finally arrived at the airport of Mesville.
As I had been busy and staying up late since two days ago, I felt a little dizzy after getting off the plane.
The blonde girl noticed that I looked unwell, so she took the initiative to approach me and asked, "Do you need help?"
Then, she picked up the phone and said sweetly into the phone, "Hello, honey, I've arrived at the airport. I'm with a girl I just met a while ago, she might not be feeling well, so I'm here to give her a little help. I'll go out in a while."
After she finished her sentence, I didn't know what the person on the other end said in reply because she instantly pouted and complained, "Dang, I haven't even finished speaking yet!"
She put the phone away and glanced at me, "Come on, let's go out together. Where are you heading? If we're going the same way, how about we go together?"
I smiled gently and said gratefully, "Thank you, but I can take a taxi. Thank you so much."
After hearing what I said, she did not say much and told me with a smile, "My name is Shirley Alexander. But you can just call me Sherry. What about you?”
"I'm Arianna Reid!"
She nodded and commented after thinking for a while, "Your surname is very short and sweet, unlike ours which is long. However, I will be taking my fiance's surname in the future, so my name would then be Shirley Granger, which is great."
