Chapter 4 

“Can you walk any faster? you are slowing me down”said Emma who can hardly control her laughter at the sight of Harman dragging his huge suitcase.
“Can’t you see I am trying?” says Harman who's face is completely pale by now. 
“Who asked you to carry a bag this huge?are you smuggling a dead body in it?”
“You know how important this trip is for me,I might have over packed in excitement.”
“Over packed is an understatement my friend.”says Emma who finally has decided to offer a hand with the bag. Harman and Emma are travelling to Melbourne, Harman is conducting a workshop there and he wants Emma to come along as he wants her to meet someone there. “Can you at least tell me who are we going to meet there? Is it Brett Lee or Shane Watson or is it ummm I don't know, who is it?
“Can’t you wait till we reach there? what is the rush?”
“You are dragging me across the globe and you won’t even tell me what this huge surprise is?”
“I am dragging you across the globe in a business class seat on my expenses and you won’t shut up already?”
“That was uncalled for but point taken”

Harman has done a few workshops before in Melbourne and this is the first one that Emma will be attending,before this every time he has asked her to come along she has given an excuse but this time he wasn't ready to hear one. The only reason Emma has never agreed is cause of her acute fear of flying which Harman is unaware of. 

“Is it me or these immigration lines look like a never ending process?”
“This is what a line for free ice-cream would look like, long and never ending.”
“Emma, you sure have this super power of bringing up ice-cream in every conversation.I hate you for that, now I am hungry.”
After finally finishing the whole process while walking towards the gate something catches Emma’s attention. “Harman hold this for me,I will be back.” saying this Emma gives Harman the books she was carrying and walks towards this old lady. 
“I can carry that for you, may I?” she asks the lady.
“oh no no, I don't wanna cause trouble.”
“Trouble you got to be kidding me,which gate are we going at?”
“At 83”
“Awesome me and my friend are going at 84,Harman what are you looking at? let’s go.”
It is this quality of Emma that Harman has always admired, she is so selfless and helpful making everyone around her feel so comfortable.

“Welcome aboard Sir,what can I offer you to drink today?” asked the air hostess who came with the welcome drinks. 
“An orange juice for me and water for the lady, please.”
“Water?why water for me? champagne sounds good.”
“Have you even seen yourself after drinking anything for that matter,nope nothing for you not until we are up in the air at least.”
“Blah, that doesn't even make sense.” by now Emma’s nervousness has reached another level and she doesn't know how to calm herself down or how to warn Harman of what is coming his way.
The seat belt sign has come on,the light in the cabin are dim now and the aircraft has started to speed up on the runway. 
All of a sudden Harman hears a scream and it is none other than Emma.
“I can’t watch this, I don't wanna die.Stop this aircraft now. Harman do something.”
“Emma you need to calm down, can you please stop yelling, calm down.”
“I can’t do this, this is not happening. I hate flying.”
“Thanks for the early revelation, okay listen lets think about something that you like, how about pizza?”
“You really think I can think about pizza right now?”
“I know you, you can do this, pizza pizza pizza.”
“Pizza pizza pizza, I can’t do this it is not working.”
“It is okay we are up in the air now,thanks for the heads up baby elephant forget about that champagne.”
All they both could do was laugh through the rest of the flight thinking about what had happen.
“Miss Emma are you sure you are going to be okay?do you want me to get you anything?”said the air hostess who is worried about Emma as the plane is soon to land.
“She will be okay, I will take good care of her.” saying this Harman holds on to Emma’s hand.
“I think I will be okay, thanks for the concern and sorry for the trouble caused.” said Emma who is super embarrassed by now.

Airport Romance- Chapter three

This is the moment I know I should say something to her something that would make her feel better, but I am out of words. It is so refreshing to see someone who is so in touch with her emotions. “God, here I am telling you my life story and I don’t even know anything about you. So what are you running from?” saying this her switch has worked again, there is a massive smile on her face and the spark is coming back. “I am running from my work, same old boring story.” “It cannot be that bad, what do you work as?” “ I am an actor.” “An actor, I haven’t met one before, are you any good.” “ Decent, I have a few fans here and there.” “Give me you phone.” “Oh okay, here you go.” I am not sure what she is looking for, but I can see her trying to google something. “You call yourself decent? God how many awards have you won?” “I have  a long way to go trust me.” There it is again she knows I am an actor and just like everyone else she is going to act all weird now. “Lon

Airport Romance- Chapter 8

Kimberly  Marcus has been gone for over an hour now and he still hasn’t called, in the mean time my friends have arrived. Laura and I have been childhood friends and neighbours when we were young. Her father decided to move to Beverly Hills when we were 10, but she got her way and still continued to go to the same school as before which is one of the reasons we have been friends for so long. We  ended up going to the same high school and later she went to Paris for an art course. She now organises art exhibits for established artist , I must say nothing has changed about her she is still head to toe covered with branded clothes though what I like about her is she is super down to earth so wearing a Gucci bag which cost half of peoples monthly wage hasn’t turned her into a snob. Laura’s younger sister Karen and I known each other since I can remember. Laura had stayed over at our place the night her mother was in labour with Karen, I have seen Karen grow in front of my eyes, but w

Airport Romance- Chapter 7

Kimberly  Thanks to Richard being back in LA doesn’t feel so bad, spending time with him was so much fun. It got fairly late till we got back home all thanks to me, after trying all those ice-creams we hardly had any energy to move till the time I dropped him and got home it was six in the morning. Dad saw me come home when he was leaving for his morning jog, but he didn’t ask anything and nor did I bother to tell him anything. Dad and mom have both been very patient with me, the day when I came back they both where in tears they hugged me and didn’t ask a thing, they did though complain about me not telling them that I was going to be home. We had a nice quiet family dinner that night even my brother Jacob joined us, he is still super annoying and had way too many questions for me luckily mom did put an end to his investigation, I sure did miss my family. I don’t know as of yet if I am going to stay in lA or leave after the wedding so till I come to a conclusion I am going to
