LMPYITP: The Random Passages

Chapter 104 - Version 1

            We boarded the plane to head back to London the following day. I was still out of sorts and had a thousand things bouncing around in my head.

Liam insisted I have the window seat. Why I have no idea but I didn't hesitate in taking the offer.

When the plane was in the air, I pulled out the book Noel got me a while back and began to read.

"Oh come on!" Liam said. "Don't tell me we're gonna go this whole flight not talkin'!"

I stopped reading and looked at him. "What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Are ya fuckin' kiddin' me?!" He exclaimed. "D'you-"

"Calm down!" I barked. "Just take a nap or something."

"Y'know ya can't do that. You'll be way more fuckin' jet lagged if y'do."

"Whatever." I muttered as I returned to my book.

He chewed the piece of his gum loudly. "Why're ya pissed with me?" He asked. "I said I was sorry for all that bull shit in New York."

"That bull shit?" I repeated. "Are you serious?"

He took a few seconds to think of what to say. "How about when we get back to London, I take ya to the spa. There's this really good one I belong to. In fact, you've gotta be a member to-"

"As usual, if Liam didn't understand, or simply didn't have an answer, he ignored the question."

"Liam." I said with a sigh. "Just stop."

He looked away from me, put his head back on his head rest, and closed his eyes.

I decided to quit with the book and pulled my phone out. I brought up my iTunes and plugged my earbuds into the jack.

I snapped my fingers in Liam's face. When he looked at me curiously, I silently offered him one my earbuds as I popped a bubble with my gum.

He took it from me and put it in his right ear.

I put mine in my right ear as well and began scrolling through my music.

"Nope!" I said as I pulled my phone away from him when he tried grabbing it to pick a song. "It's my phone, I get to pick the first song."

"Better be a good one." He replied.

I didn't say anything and just found what I was looking for.

I needed something good. Something that would give me an energy boost.

Liam gave an agreeable nod as that sexy opening riff began. He lay his head back against the head rest again but kept his eyes open this time.

I put my head back against my head rest as well and tried to relax and enjoy the music.

It wasn't that hard to do.

Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails

I looked over at Liam who stared off in front of him and mouthed the words by barely opening his lips. His eyes were about half shut but I could still see the twinkle in them from the side.

I forgive you boy, I will prevail

I thought about everything that happened while we were in New York. I'd been such a bitch over the ordeal with his daughter. But were my feelings warranted?
