The Flight

Love on the Rocks

 

ELI POV

I was tired but not yet to the point that I wanted to go to sleep. It had been about 30 minutes on the plane and about 15 since we took off. We still had a good 3 and a half hours to go and that depeneded on whether or not the weather held up. I couldn't talk to Imani, becasue she was knocked out on my shoulder. She has been getting really tired, really quickly lately.

Kevin walked over to me and crouched down. "Hey, has Imani been spending some time with Bummie this week?"

"Yeah, she helped him with some stuf during her free time. Why?"

"Because he isn't feeling well and I think she might not be either. Has she been tired lately?" Kevin asked before lookin at Imani. 

"Yeah. I'll have the flight attendant bring her some honey-lemon tea."

"Oh good idea. That should stop some of the cold. Wake up her, let her drink it and then let her go back to sleep." Kevin said, sounding like his mom. 

"Thanks for the heads up." I said before Kevin walked back over to Kibum and SooHyun. I looked around, realizing I hadn't seen Kiesop since the airport. He was stretched out on the floor with a pillow and a blanket, snoring softly. I pressed the button for the FA. She stepped out of no where and smiled. 

"Hello sir. What do you need?" she asked.

"I need two big cups of honey-lemon tea. And do you have any soups for people who aren't feeling well?"

"I have a chicken soup with mint leaves in it. It's really good."  she said, I nodded and she disappeared back to get the food for me. 

"Hey, wake up." I said softly before rubbing her arms. She mumbled and uncurled her legs. I rubbed them a bit harder and she looked around sleepily. 

 

NORMAL POV

I sat up and took a deep breath. My throat felt like it was on fire. I touched my neck and looked at Eli. 

"My throat hurts. What happened?" I questioned in a raspy voice.

"Kibum was sick and he gave it to you."he said before touching my forehead. "You have a low grade fever." 

I yawned a little and grimaced at that fact that it hurt my throat. A flight attenedant came over to us with a huge covered tray. She placed handed us each a clip on tray for our seats. She handed me a mug and a bowl. I sat them down and looked at Eli.

"I got two soups just in case." she said to Eli. He smiled and thanked her and then faced me. 

"Here, it's chicken soup with mint leaves. It's really good and it should help you feel a little better." he said before taking the lid off my soup. "Here, open." 

I softly slurped the soup off the spoon and swallowed it. It was actually really good. I convinced him I could eat by myself and we both ate our soups. By the time I got to my tea it was the perfect temperature and it soothed the tingle of pain in my throat. 

"Can I sleep now?" I asked once I finished it. I'm so surprised that I feel so awful so quickly. Before I fell asleep I felt fine and now I feel so yucky.

"Yes, you can." Eli said before lifting the middle arm rest. "You can stretch out if that will make you feel better."

I nodded and put my pillow in his lap. I laid down and literally felt my body loosen up. I was facing the chair in front of me and Eli was rubbing my back. I felt my eyes tugging and my yawns getting longer. I closed my eyes and slowly fell off into dreamland. 

ELI POV

Imani was curled up in my lap asleep. I listened to the soft sounds of her breathing and tried to fall asleep. 

After about 5 minutes, I just stared out the window and forgot about falling asleep. The world below us seemed so peaceful but I knew that everyone down there was continuing on with their lives. 

Imani mumbled softly in her sleep and then gasped. I rubbed her back and interestingly enough that motion helped me fall asleep.

"“I don’t like you.” I mumbled under my breath.<br />
<br />
“Yup, because you loooovveee me right?! Huh right?” he said, looking like an overexcited puppy.<br />
<br />
“Sure. I’ll let you believe that.”<br />
