Arjun

If he thought the plane nap was the best sleep of his life he was wrong. last night was something different. He was slowly gaining consciousness from his sleep. He felt a leg on top of his and his hand on a shoulder. He stirred feeling hair under his noise
Lavender.

He wanted to jolt up but he was worried he would wake her. He slowly moves his leg from under hers.  Her hoodie had ridden up dangerously. He quickly took her hand from her shoulder and stood over her. He quickly put the duvet cover over her to cover her modesty.

He saw the pillows all around the bed.
So much for a pillow wall.
He went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. What was he doing, what was he thinking
Should have just slept on the floor.
He got ready and went to wake up Lahna. Again so peaceful and well rested. He didn't even want to wake her up.
He slowly went over to her. Gently tapped her on her head. Again he saw her doe eyes open, looking up at him
"What time is it" she said her voice hoarse
"Nearly 6am the taxi is coming at 6:30" he said crouching down near the bed.
"God it's so warm" she said taking the duvet off her. She didn't even care how high up her hoodie was on her. His heart beat a little faster.
She had beautiful legs. Tan and thick thighs.
Stop starting at her legs.

She got up and stumbled to the bathroom. He waited and waited it had been 15 mins and she hadn't come out or heard a sound.
"Lahna" he knocked on the bathroom door.
Nothing
"Lahna are you ok?" Arjuna voice started to rise.
Silence
"Lahna I'm going to come in be decent" he said pushing the door open.

When he looked in his heart melted a bit. The toilet seat had been closed and her head had rested on it. Snoring. He couldn't help but smile.
He went over and tapped her again. This time she woke up in shock.
"Fuck why are you in here" she said scrambling
Girl... Really
"You fell asleep the taxi is coming in 20mins" he said looking down on her.
"Urghh I'll be out, leave go shoo" she said pushing him out.
He waited another 10 minutes and she finally came out. It took every strength in his eye muscles not to stare at her.
Her hair had been put in the same low bun as yesterday. She was wearing a plain light yellow net dress. It was a square neck line. The dress was just above her knees. The dress hug her in all the right places. She was was wearing a dainty chain around her neck
Wow
" I'm ready should we wait in the lobby" she said. She eyed all the pillows on the floor.
"Did we have a pillow fight in our dreams or something" she said as she was picking up the pillows.
"Ha probably" he said helping her. She didn't need to know about their entanglement.

As they both went to pick up the same pillow Their hands lightly brushed against each other. She probably didn't even notice but he felt a little tingling.

As they were waiting in the lobby the taxi came and picked them up. They didn't talk in the taxi ride it was only a few minutes
Does she keep looking at me
Don't be delusional
But he could feel it. He didn't want to focus too much on her just his job.

They got to the airport and boarded the flight without too much hassle.
Lahna called her family informing them they had just boarding the flight. Arjun hadn't received any message about the bedroom situation.
"Did you tell your brother about the room sharing"
"No they would just make a big deal out of it" she said casually
Arjun nodded. He had hoped she didn't say anything. He didn't was to get in trouble even though it wasn't his fault.
"Honestly I just want a relaxing holiday but it's so much stress for no reason" she said throwing her phone in her bag.
"I wouldn't know I've never flew before" he said smiling at her.
Her eyes widened at him "oh my god you've never flew before, what did you do at your school holidays" she asked.
"Not everyone's as privileged as you some people have to work on their school holidays" he said sarcastically.
"I worked as well you know" she said knowing it obviously wasn't the same.
"Ok" he said rolling his eyes. It would never be the same she had money, family and love. He didn't blame her for all those things he just didn't have them so it wasn't comparable.
He remembered how comfortable it was sleeping with Lahna. He had never slept in bed with anyone. In his flat he had a single bed. It felt safe and secure when he slept with Lahna.
"I hope I didn't disturb you while we were sleeping I'm always moving around in my sleep" she did interrupting his thought process.
"No it was fine I actually slept very well" he said remembering the soft lavender smell of her smell. He looked down at her, cleavage showing slightly. He looked away. He didn't want to make her feel like he was a creep.

He had never had a girlfriend. A few one night stands and hookups. Nothing much. He has been so hyper independent all his life just emotionally and physically being there for someone felt impossible but for lehna it felt different. He wanted to be with her.
Yeah you're getting payed for it.
And that.
