Arranged to Love

Chapter 11: True Mission to England

"Ma'am."

I came out of my memories and looked up to see the male flight attendant in front of me. "Do you need anything?" he asked me. Do I need something? I looked at my watch to see that I had day dreamed for a few hours.

"Um..a glass of water with a slice of lemon would be nice," I told her. He gave me a smile. "Certainly," he said to me and walked away. Did I really daydreamed that long? I looked over at Adrian who was flirting with the female flight attendant.

My heart felt crushed from the sight. Listen Vera. He doesn't love you. He doesn't have feelings for you. You shouldn't have feelings for him. I let out a quiet deep sigh and returned my attention to my book and waited for my water.

In my heart, I felt some hope that he had feelings for me. We were going to our honeymoon after all.

"Mr. Minetti. This is your captain speaking. Please put your seat in an upright position and buckle up. We are in our final descent. We will be landing at Heathrow International Airport shortly. Thank you for flying with us and hope you again on the way back home."

The flight was very long. I didn't get any sleep. To be honest, I didn't like sleeping on the plane but, I was exhausted from being awake for over ten hours. I closed my book and packed everything in my bag.

Looking out of the window, the runway was in view. Almost there. I sat up in my seat and closed my eyes. As the time went by, I counted down in my head. 5-4-3-2-1. Next thing I knew, I felt the plane jerk forward a bit. We had landed on the runway safely.

I looked out of the window to see that the plane was slowing down on the runway. It didn't take too long for the plane to come to a complete stop at the end of the runway. The plane taxied to a terminal for private jets.

Bing....

The lights for the belts came on. I unbuckled my belt and got up from my seat. I had to say that my legs needed some stretching but, I knew that I shouldn't in front of the flight attendants. I might embarrass Adrian.

Adrian got his brief case and walked near the exit. I made my way next to him while the flight attendants get our jackets. The male flight attendant got my jacket for me. "Here you are ma'am," he said to me.

I gave him a small nod and took the jacket. I got the jacket on myself even though he was trying to help me. The flight attendant helped Adrian with his jacket. I walked to the exit to feel the cold breeze of England.

Here I am.

Looking below me, I could see that a car was waiting for us. Adrian gave me a little nudge forwards. I walked down the stairs and to the car. The driver opened the door for me and I slipped inside with ease.

Adrian sat on the other side. Lorenzo sat in the front. Immediately, he took his laptop out of his bag and started to work. Maybe he wants to get ahead so that we can have time together. The car started to move and drive out of the airport.

"Where to sir?" the driver asked Adrian. "Buckingham Palace," Adrian told him. I looked out of the window and watched the scenery go by. It was amazing that I was here. London almost reminded me of New York...everyone was busy.

In the main streets of London, there were so many people. I wasn't too surprised about the traffic too. Some streets were way to difficult to get through. but, the driver managed to get around the traffic very well.

Soon, we were near Buckingham Palace. The building was amazing. The driver parked the car not too far from the palace. Adrian, Lorenzo, and I walked up to the gates. I could see the guards in the front of the doors of the palace.
