Storm (12)

Chris looked at me with a smile and asked

"What?"

"Well... my dad called and told me that he doesn’t really want to come to Seattle. He wants us to visit them. So... are you up for it?" I said hoping that he would be happy and agree to the trip. But to the face that I’m looking at, I did doubt a little bit.

"Well... there’s a little problem. Can you tell me the city we are visiting you parents at?"

"Wollongong. Why?" I asked, but Chris just looked down with a frown.

"No nothing." He said changing his frown to a fake smile. "so when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yep. My parents want me to take the first plane towards Australia tonight. Is that ok?"

"Yeah. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy." He kissed me. And walked away.

The rest of the day I spent my day running errands. I also hired a temporary manager, for taking my place. After that I went to the get tickets and book the flight to Australia and they told me the flight leaves at 5 in the morning (Australia is 5 hours ahead).

This means if we leave at 5 in the morning from Seattle then we get to Australia at 10 at night. I went back to my house it was 3 in the afternoon cleaned up a little bit. Did Laundry and I pay the rent for the month’s I’m going to miss. I paid around 7 months, just in case. I also called my parents and told them that I would be there at 10.

After I did the Laundry I put those away and packed different cloths, for the winter. The seasons in Australia are different from Seattle. But I’m not going to bored you with information.
I left my apartment with my keys and 2 giant suit cases. I locked the door, and checked twice just in case. I carried the suit cases to the car and drove towards Chris house.

---------------- In the morning-------------------

We are tired and it’s still dark outside, it’s 4:55 in the morning. We hurried into the plane and of course our passports and tickets were ready. We walked through the hallway into the plane. As I sit on the plane seat near the window. I look outside, and I imagine the plane in the air passing through the clouds.

I clench my mouth and inhale deep and Exhale slowly. I guess Chris noticed my heavy breathing, and took my hand and told me it was going to be alright. Chris reluctantly let go of my hand to put away our entire luggage away. Chris sat back down and we all put our seat belts on.

The flight attendant announced that we are ready for takeoff. As the plane started my stomach became a washing cycle. It twist and turned, but thankfully I did not throw up. As I peeked out the window I could see the road and everything else moving more than 20 miles per hour.

I instantly closed my eyes and squeezed Chris’s hand. Knowing Chris was with me gave me comfort. When we were in the air, I covered the window not wanting to look anymore. The sun was rising in Seattle, and it was setting in Australia. 5 hours past and I was sleeping on Chris’s shoulder. Until the flight attendant announced that we were landing in 2 minutes.

When we got out of the plane, my parents greeted us.

"Hey mom." I said while Chris and I were coming towards her. I hug and give her a peck on the cheek. Same with my dad. I looked at them and they didn’t seem too sick. They seemed healthy but they did tell me that eventually they will have to be in bed all the time.

"Hey honey, how are you?" my mom greeted us in excitement.

"I’m been great." I look over at Chris and remembered I haven’t introduced them yet. "Well mom, this is Chris the brain surgeon I was talking about." I didn’t really want to tell her that we were dating. I wasn’t even really sure we were dating, just because we kissed doesn’t mean we are dating it could have just been a onetime thing. But he did say ‘I Love You’.... hmmm.

Anyways...

My mom looked at him for a few seconds then back at me. She gave me a look that said ‘You have good taste in men.’ I quickly returned the favour and gave her a look that said ‘I KNOW, but don’t you dare say anything’

"Well it’s nice to finally meet Angela’s parents." Chris said while going to shake hands with them. But my mom just pulled him into a massive hug. My dad hugged him too, but not with the same enthusiasm.
We hugged and drove towards my parent’s house. As we drove up to the house we grabbed our luggage and took it in the house.
"Angela, we have a problem." My mom said as we all got in the house and closed the front door.

"Yeah? What is it?" I ask as Chris and I put the luggage down on the floor.

"Well, we bought this house right after you moved out. It’s bigger yeah, but it only comes with 2 bed rooms. So, do you guys mind sleeping in the same room?" My mom said as Chris and I looked at each other for a couple of seconds. Then turned back to look at my mother. "I mean, you don’t even have to sleep in the same bed, Chris could sleep on the sofa that is placed near the bed.But he's our guest so I would like for you to work it out."
My dad looks at Chris with an evil eye. He then goes to my mom’s ear and whispers something that makes my mom answer in a low whisper, "It’s the only guest room we have. We can’t just make him sleep in the living room."
This caused my dad to roll his eyes.

"But I told you that I was coming why could we just go to the summer house in Sydney?"

"Well honey, the summer house is in repairs." My dad responded.

"Well, I don’t mind. It’s up to Chris" I say as I turn towards him.

"Well, I’m okay with this. I don’t mind sleeping in the same room." Chris then answers me, with a shrug and looks at me and then towards my mom.

"Okay mom, can you show us to the room, so we can take our luggage?" I ask.

The house was not only big, it was long. Before I could get in the house I looked at it from outside and saw that the house has no upstairs. The house was an egg shelled color. It was a really nice house. Anyways...
My dad showed us to the room. When we got in the room my parents left and when directly to sleep (remember it was 10 at night.) We spend the next hour unpacking and putting cloth away.

"Finally, we’re done. So Chris, how are we going to make this -" I turned around and saw that I was centimetres away from his lips. I stayed in place and the only thing we could hear, was our breathing. After a minute we locked lips and it’s was so steamy. It started slowly and kept on going faster and faster, I kept stopping for air. While we kissed he took my neck in his hand and the other hand rubbed my arm, hand, shoulder and back. I dug through his jet black hair. Suddenly, my cousin JANINE comes barging in. She comes in with a six pack of Sprite.

"ANGELA heard your back!!!, you wanna g-" she yells as she slams the doors open. She takes a quick look towards us and then just stands there shocked. I don’t really think she likes the scene too good.
Chris and I stepped back slowly in surprise but Chris still kept his hand on my waist.

"Oops. Sorry guys I didn’t mean to bust in." She said walking backwards and towards outside of the room.

"No its ok. But next time KNOCK." I giggled and went to give her a massive hug. Janine is my cousin, from my mom’s side of the family. She and I would stay up together watching movies. We did everything together. Janine is like my little sister, and ofcourse i'm the older sister.
Janine has long black hair, with blonde tips. She’s a bit taller, and she’s 17 years old, 2 years younger than me. She’s nicely thin and she has light green eyes. Since I’m the kind of girl who always told her not to have a boyfriend and wait for the perfect man, she would always call me Nunny.
While I hugged her, she whispered in my ear "who’s the HOTTY with that body?" and of course low enough for Chris not to hear. I giggled and went towards Chris.

"Chris this is Janine, my cousin."I said gesturing towards Janine.

"Ahh. Nice to meet you Janine. I’m Chris" They both shook hands.

"Hi Chris. Glad to know Angela has never mentioned me. But whatever!" Janine said while yelling towards me, but Giggling after.

"Janine, shhhh. My parents are asleep. And 1 question, how did you know I was here? " I said in a whisper. Chris still standing next to me.

"Well... I was walking through the super market. And I overheard some old ladies, saying that you were coming to your parent’s house tonight. They might have heard this from your mom or dad."

"Oh. Well I’m glad you came over. "

"Yeah. Well I can see you both are tired. I’ll come back tomorrow nice and early. Ok?" She said hugging me and Chris and heading out the door.
Janine is a really friendly person. If you meet Janine for a couple of seconds she would already be hugging you. Janine is a sweet girl.

"That would be nice" I said.

She closed the door and left. When she was done, I grabbed my pyjamas and headed straight for the bathroom. I wore a white tank top, with black WARM pyjama pants. When I came out, Chris was already wearing his pyjamas. He wore a white shirt and his navy blue boxers. I walked to the left side of the king sized bed. I Lift the covers and quickly get in. I sit up criss cross under the covers.

"Chris come on. We have a big day tomorrow. I want to show you everything great about Australia." I tell Chris while patting the bed. I was hoping that I could have at least a goodnight kiss. Chris turns off the lights and comes under the covers.
I turn off the light from my night table and scoot myself in the bed, Chris does the same. I lay looking towards the ceiling and think. Until Chris scoots towards me and hugs me. I turn away from Chris and let him hug me from behind. Nestled safetly in Chris's arms gave shocks and comfort that made me fall asleep in an instant. As I fall in darkness, a dream appears.

I'm standing in the middle of a dark room. I looked around, the walls all black and the floor and ceiling also black.
The only thing I could see that wasn't black was myself. It was pitch black, the whole room smelled like CINNAMON perfume.

Until a girl showed up a couple of meters away. She was beautiful she had blonde hair with a tint of orange, her eyes were as brown as a tree trunk but something in her eyes seemed EVIL... but I was just being paranoid.
She was as tall as Chris and she was fit, she was wearing a yellow nee - length dress with a black belt and black heels. When I finally finished looking at every feature, she came towards me and keep saying ' I'm coming SOON, hold on to him as long as possible' ...
