Once upon a time, a girl got on a plane… This is the setting of a not-so-fairytale story but a fun one to tell. The girl (if you hadn’t guessed) is me and I had been going on my 12th hour of travel time to reach the other end of the country. I sat down in my designated seat on this very uncomfortable plane in which I received the news from the pilot that we would be sitting there for a lot longer than expected. While minding my business as best as one can on a small plane, I noticed this fidgety man across the isle from me; I discreetly turned my head in his direction to see what the hell was making him so restless but my subtle peek ended up being a very indiscreet gaze. I was immediately attracted to this edgy man in the blue. I instantly turned back to what I was doing and just passed the moment by like I usually do.
An hour went by before we were in the air and the fidgety man finally spoke the forsaken words, “what are you going to Virginia for?” The conversation never paused for the entire 90 minute flight and before we knew it, two incredibly awkward conversers were exchanging phone numbers. It turned out that his fidgeting wasn’t a mild twitching disorder; he was actually just trying to summon the nerve to talk to me which we ended up laughing about a few days later.
Three days in each others company resulted in a very spontaneous weekend. The securely independent girl who never steps out of her shell went far, far away from my body and I allowed myself to lust over someone I had only known for days. I never give relationships a chance and I don’t really know why. Maybe it is because I have seen so many of them fail or because I see how broken people can become because of them, or maybe I reject them because I hate vulnerability. Whatever reason it is that I discard these feelings was not strong enough to save me from breaking this time. I am broken, and I like it. |
