Lilli is stuck in the airport in the middle of the night. She is exhausted and but meets a cute brunette. Not together.

English isn't my first language.

My plane will be late. Like two hours late. It's 2am and I'm sitting in the airport, on a bench next to people I don't know, totally exhausted. I've been working five hours until 0am in a bar before rushing to the airport. And now I'm sitting here, knowing I won't make it to my sister's birthday in time because of a thunderstorm. After some more minutes a young brunette comes to sit down next to me as most of the seats are already taken. She gives me a pretty smile which I return tiredly. So now we sit there waiting until the storm is over. I let my eyes close and feel how I'm slowly falling asleep. But that's interrupted as I realize my head is laying on someone's shoulder. I immediately shoot up and turn to look at her amused face.

,,Sorry, I didn't mean to.", I mumble, the tiredness in my voice clearly audible. She just smiles lovingly at me.

,,Don't apologize. I was actually really comfortable."

,,Oh", I say, surprised she didn't said anything rude like people from this country like to do. ,,You're not from here, are you?", I ask.

,,No, I'm not. How did you know? Is my accent that bad?", the pretty brunette asks and makes a funny face, trying to look hurt.

,,Not at all. You're just more kind than the people here.", I answer, giggling at her silliness. She smiles at me.

,,Well, I wouldn't get all rude on someone as pretty as you.", she flirts jokingly while winking at me. I laugh at her.

,,Tell me about your nationality then.", I flirt back slightly and she starts to smirk.

,,I'm german.", she says proudly.

,,The ones with beer and....bradwursd?", I ask, obviously joking but she plays along, looking offended and putting a hand on her chest.

,,This is rude Miss I sleep on stranger's shoulder.", she says as I laugh at her once again.
,,And it's Bratwurst, okay. Brat-wurst." She makes sure to look completely serious.

,,No shit Sherlock. Ich bin halb deutsch." (I'm half German), I respond cheekily and grin at her, knowing exactly how thick my accent is.

,,Ohh, I see how it is. You thought you could trick me.", she states with her finger pointed at me. I laugh while throwing my head back in amusement but soon I go quite and close my eyes again, the tiredness taking over me. ,,You have to take the flight to cologne, don't you?", she asks softly, making me look at her as I nod my head. ,,Well, me too. So please take my offer and sleep a little. You look exhausted and I will wake you as soon as we have to go.", she says seriously. I smile at her. She is a really kind person. After a moment she motions me to lay down so I do and place my head on her lap. No more words are said as she begins to gently stroke my head and lull me to sleep.

I woke up to someone carefully shaking me awake. I open my eyes and look right into the brown ones of my new friend. She smiles softly at me which I return. I lost myself a little as I stare into her eyes until I realize the sun was shining again. I shoot up and look around confused.

,,The storm didn't stop until just now. That's why I let you sleep. You needed it.", she smiles at me lovingly.

,,Thank you." She takes my hand and pulls me up onto my legs before leading me to our plane not letting go of my hand. Not that I minded.

,,Wait, what's your name actually?", I ask her while she turns to me.

,,Lena. My name is Lena, Lilli.", she responds as I look at her shocked. ,,Don't look at me like that. You have a bracelet with your name.", she says like it's the most obvious thing in the world while I laugh and my cheeks turn red.

,,Come one. We have a plane to catch."
