The end of a long flight

I counted to 50, breathe, calm down then back to 1. I kept my calm as I turned to Skye, who, for the love of everything that is holy, is smiling from ear to ear! She was infectious. I couldn't stay angry at this girl! My BFF. I smiled back.

"I'm still not happy with you, Skye!" I said to her.

She came back with, " Yeah I know, aren't you grateful you have a friend like me? I'm special!" she smiled like a fool.

I shook my head in defeat, not only is she happy of her little stunt! She is one proud freak!

"I've done my part, now it's your turn, Wynter! Have you seen his smile? What I would have traded for him to smile like that at me! You're one lucky chook, girl! You need to up your game to snatch up a guy like him." she said ecstatic.

"That's enough Skye, I don't need to do anything at the moment, maybe I won't see him again, you know.." I said.

"Hello? Clearly you aren't listening to me. He lives across from my Aunt's house, he told me when we were talking earlier because I said we're going to Bondi, and he asked where in Bondi, I said in Imperial Ave. , he answered like "Really? I live in Imperial Ave.." when I asked what number he said 62, then I said to him my Aunt's is 61. He grinned and said " I know your Aunt, she's a very nice lady! She lives across the road apparently, that's why I was telling you earlier that it must be fate or destiny!" she has this faraway look on her face like a hopeless romantic that she is, when she said it.

"Ok that's enough assuming he might still be talking to us after the flight." I said trying to tamp down her excitement and wherever her ideas are going.

But my friend Skye, she won't be swayed that easily! No way , Jose!

" Wynter? What is the probability that you will meet someone you might like and might like you a lot," making a quotation mark action with her fingers while saying this. "and also be living where we are going to stay for couple of months? Huh, tell me that's not fate!" she argued.

"Fine! So, what's your point?" I asked.

"What's my point? Girl, I'm gonna tell you what's my point!" she said in a singsong voice and waving her hand with her pointer finger up. "I got eyes, Girl! I saw how you two interacted! You two can't take your eyes off each other and I saw him checking you out and you, him!" Geez, I'm caught.. how to get out of it.. brain THINK!

" I'm not checking him out!" I said.

Really? Is that the best you can come up, brain? Denial?

"Whatever, Girl! Tell that to a blind person, maybe a blind person would actually hear and feel how you interact and even then you wouldn't fool them! I ain't blind nor a fool. Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase don't insult my intelligence!" she said dramatically and she's not finish..

"If you're really not into him, I'll make a move, how's that sound, hey?"

Great! Just great, I shouldn't have insulted her intelligence, now she's laid the bait and I fell for it. Now it's either own up to it or give in to her challenge. What's it gonna be?

"Fine, you we're right, I do like him, he look a bit like James Marsden with glasses, actually" I said.

"I knew it! I knew it!" she said with too much enthusiasm. " I will make this happen! when we get to Bondi, I will ask my Aunt about him for you to get a background check!" she said cheekily with a wink.

"Skye? Really? Background check? What are you playing now? An investigator?" I asked incredulous as to how she is acting up towards Ash.

"Nope, not investigating, too much trouble, I will leave that to my Aunt, I'm only an interviewer, I will ask my Aunt about Ash Lattimer, since he said he knew my Aunt and that she is a nice lady!" she told me as she screwed her up face when she was saying the positive description Ash told her of her Aunt.

"Uh, I feel like there's something fishy about that.."

Before Skye could explain about it, we have landed in Australian soil.
