Silent Fears
The ‘fasten your seatbelt’ lights turned on, letting the passengers of the large plane know that they were ready for take-off. The plane started moving, getting faster and faster as it rolled down the runway. As it sped up one last time, Luisa felt her hand being squeezed. Feeling it being squeezed once again as the machine took off and the tires were tucked into the body of the plane.
“You okay?” The brunette squeezed Rose’s hand, looking at her as she seemed anxious.
“I’m fine.” Rose tried to smile, not looking at Luisa nor out the window. Instead she focused her gaze on the seat in front of her and Luisa’s comforting hand on hers.
Luisa smiled, gently caressing Rose’s upper arm with her other hand but not saying a word. And for that, Rose was grateful. She wasn’t exactly proud of the fact that she was scared of flying. Too many things could happen, too little of which she could control up in the air.
As the plane seemed to have gotten back into a horizontal position and the lights were turned off, Rose seemed to relax a little bit. Still, she was anxious, her eyes scanning each and every passenger on the plane for anything suspicious or, worse, familiar. The last thing she needed on a ten-hour flight.
They had loosened their seatbelts as the stewardess came by.
“Can I offer you anything to drink?” A tall blonde smiled at them, motioning to the selection of beverages she had rolled along.
“No thanks.” Rose faked a smile, quickly looking away from and to Luisa, who seemed way more excited about the fact that they were getting something to drink.
“Yes, please.” She smiled at the stewardess, talking to her about something while the blonde served.
Rose did not feel the need to engage in conversation with strangers, in fact, she truly only wanted to arrive.
“How long it the flight again?” The red head asked as the stewardess has left again.
“Uh-“ Luisa took a sip of the coffee she had gotten and looked at Rose. “A little under ten hours.”
Luisa smiled at her, unsure why Rose kept asking that question.
“You really don’t like flying, do you?” She grinned at the red head, putting down her coffee and pulling up the armrest that was keeping them apart.
Rose smirked as Luisa scooched closer, closing the gap between them.
“What are you doing?” She asked, her voice slightly excited as the brunette’s leg touched hers.
“Comforting you.” Luisa smiled, as innocently as ever. “Maybe I can distract you for a bit?”
Rose was about to say something when Luisa’s hand found its way to her neck and slid down her collarbones to rest between her breasts. Luisa looked at her, her face only inches away from Rose’s.
“I’m sorry, did you want to say something?” The brunette smirked at her for only half a second before Rose closed the gap and gently placed her lips on Luisa’s.
Luisa opened her mouth to a silent moan, followed by a smiled as the kiss became slightly heated and Rose’s hands found their way to Luisa’s waist, pulling her closer.
Rose broke the kiss, her forehead resting on Luisa’s.
“Not here.” She smirked, opening her seatbelt and Luisa’s, waiting for the brunette to get out of her seat and then following her to the back of the plane where the bathrooms were.
Someone’s hand on her shoulder startled her, interrupting her rather unpleasant dreams and bringing her back to reality.
“Rose” The soft and familiar voice helped calm her down. “It’s just me.”
“Lu-“ Rose mumbled, sitting up as she had been in a fairly uncomfortable position.
“We’re about to land.” Luisa smiled, motioning at the ‘fasten your seatbelt’-lights that were now turned back on.
Rose nodded, putting her seatbelt back on and looking out the window. She couldn’t believe she had fallen asleep. Her heart was still pounding. Luisa waking her up had startled her more than she had anticipated. How could she had fallen asleep? What if there had been someone on the plane that could have recognized her? Or worse, what if anyone would have done anything to Luisa while she had been soundly asleep?
Rose shook her head in an attempt to shake off those thoughts. At last, nothing had happened and they were finally about to land.
It took them some time to get from the plane to customs and out of the airport, but eventually they were welcomed by warm weather and the sun smiling down on them.
“Where to next?” Luisa smiled, letting go of Rose’s hand only to wrap her arms around her waist and pull her closer to her body.
Rose smirked, her fingers slowly caressing Luisa’s face as they stood outside the airport.
“Wherever you want, my dear.” She placed a gentle kiss on Luisa’s lips which quickly turned into a short, but fairly heated one.
“The beach sounds good to me.” Luisa’s smiled widened as she broke the kiss to look into her lover’s eyes.
“It sounds perfect.” Rose smiled back and for a minute she forgot everything around her.
She even forgot her fears, her nightmare-like thoughts that kept reminding her of the fact that they had actually just travelled across the world to another country. She had even forgotten about the parts Luisa had no idea she was even worrying about.
“Rose?” Luisa’s touch on her cheeks interrupted her thoughts and she realized she had been blindly staring into the brunette’s deep brown eyes.
“Huh?” She smiled at Luisa, trying to conceal the fact that her fears were now coming back to her, crushing her little hope of ending up happy with Luisa the way she had wanted to for months.
“The taxi.” Luisa motioned at one of the taxi’s in front of them which was seemingly waiting for them to go in.
Rose smiled, taking Luisa’s hand as she offered it to her and following her to the car.
“Where to, señoritas?” The older man smiled at them, his accent letting him know that English was certainly not his first language.
“Thank god you speak Spanish.” Rose smirked at Luisa, opening the door to their hotel room and entering it after Luisa.
“You’re welcome.” Luisa smiled, turning around to take a full look at the room. “Nice!”
Rose smiled brightly, the way Luisa was enjoying herself on their little adventure was putting her at ease. Which was most likely the reason she had not said a word in Spanish since their arrival in Spain but had let Luisa do the talking instead. She simply enjoyed seeing Luisa happy and liked letting her believe that Rose would be helpless there without her. Luisa was probably the only time Rose ever gave up control. The only time she ever wanted to give up control because giving it up to her felt safe itself.
“The view is beautiful!” Luisa opened the glass doors to the balcony, stepping out into the warm breeze and taking in the view of the ocean which was basically across the street.
“It sure is.” Rose’s voice softened at the end as she leaned against the doorframe and looked at the brunette.
Luisa looked around, smiling shyly as she realized Rose was not talking about the same view she was.
“You’re supposed to enjoy the view.” Luisa grinned, standing before her, her face only inches away from hers.
“Oh but I am.” Their eyes locked and Rose could feel her heart skip one too many beats while her breathing became heavier. She still could not believe Luisa was capable of making her feel this way.
Luisa opened her mouth to say something but closed it again as the words didn’t seem to make their way out. Instead, she crashed their lips together, holding Rose’s hands over her head, her body pressing Rose’s against the door frame.
The red head moaned as the kiss, which had started out slightly rough but still tender, turned into a more lustful and heated adventure.
She smiled without breaking the kiss, freeing her hand’s from Luisa’s grip and placing them on the brunette’s waist, guiding her as she pressed her body against Luisa’s and started moving towards the bed.
