Third Part of Beeing You

III

They arrived to the airport at 4.30 a.m.

-        “Perfect timing, sweetheart!”

-        “Our plane does not leave until 7.00 a.m. So we have time to have breakfast and finish off our drinks and than board safely until everybody’s up.”

-        “You are awesome!”

They paid the driver for the journey, grabbed suitcases and followed inside the Terminal.

-“I know perfect little cafe we can have breakfast in”

-“I’ll follow you”

They smiled and walked in. Terminal was half empty and very quiet. Kira led Brian upstairs to the café-restaurant she once got very drunk in. It was 24/7 and had variety of food there.

Sleepy waiter welcomed them in. They did not care about his rudeness.  They were almost at the beginning of a new month of their lives. They were waiting so long to do that and now they just need an airplane to whisk them away.

Kira was not hungry. All that adrenalin of the night did made an impact on her body. It was awake and on guard. She decided to have some fruit with ice cream and Champagne of course. Brain was hungry and he order up massive plate of meat.

Waiter seamed to freshen up in the idea of good tips by strangers drinking so early in the morning and started to be active. When Kira searched for cigarettes in her bag an ashtray appeared without even asking for. Champagne was cold and brought on ice. Brian insisted on opening himself. His face was serious enough for Kira to understand he was thinking of home. She did not want to ask those questions. She thought of home too, but cards have been served and game should be played. There was no other way around.

Brian poured wine into glasses and standing he brought his glass up and said:

 -“To our adventure baby!”

- “Amen…”

Champagne was cool and semi-sweet no bitterness no sourness – exactly what they needed. Fruits and ice –cream arrived and Kira had to put her cigarette out.

They set there thinking and talking all the night events over and after third glass their conversation did start to get spicy and more playful. Brian was looking with his beautiful grey eyes – penetrating her almost with every glance. Kira sit there playing the defense but in reality dying to get close to his body and do all sort of things they wanted for so long and could not do. 

They were relaxed and fearless. Hard part for now was over. One month of carefree time was ahead of them. But unfortunately time does pass quickly. It was 5.30 when Kira finished her cigarette and got up to go to the bathroom and realised she is very tipsy. Champagne made its way to the top or the adrenalin rush left her body - what ever the truth she had to pull it together for the plane board.

She knew right than and there what she had to do. She lit up her cigarette and went to the bathroom. Brain was dealing with the bill.

-“Don’t be to long, sweet!”

-“I’ll do it quick, honey!” – Kira said checking if she had her belt on.

Bathroom was empty and Kira checked the mirror. She was young and beautiful. Her eyes did show some sorrow but at the moment she was worried about the drunken haze in them. She made a drag and blow smoke into the mirror reflection.

-“It’s time to make you sober honey!”

Kira walked into the toilet booth, lowered the toilet lid and locked the door. She started unbutton her belt and as it was uncomfortable with one hand she had to loose cigarette butt. Finally she had her belt undone in front of her on the toilet lid. It was time for a trick. Kira counted stitches on the belt starting from the button side and found third one. Run her finger under it and found small zipper and pulled. She than wobbled a little and took out a small flat package, moved belt to side and roll 50 UAH bill into a tube and unwrapped the package with great accuracy. There it was a “cure” of that drunken haze. Kira used rolled bill to create some sort of a line and leaned forward. One half of the line went straight up and the buzz hit her. She greedily sniffed the air with her nostrils and rolled eyes feeling every heart beat. Exhale slowly and inhale the rest. Sniff, sniff, and sniff. Nose touch – see if everything is fine. Deep breathe and relax. She placed package in her belt, used toilet and washed her hands. She checked herself in the mirror – she looked wild. Her eyes glistened back and she new why. Kira felt way sober now and needed a drink. Energy was pumping through the body asking to let it out.

In the restaurant everything was the same as she left it. Brian paid the bill and looked at her smiling. They still had almost full bottle of Champs left. Kira made a large sip of it and handle it to bartender together with two empty water bottles.

-        “Rap it up for the ride!” – her eyes were piercing him

-        “Yes ma’am”

-        “Give me the light, babe…”

She made a full drug and blow smoke out with pleasure. Brian came close to her and kissed her neck. She closed her eyes and kept smoking.

 -“ Soon we’ll be safe just wait a little…How are you by the way? You seem fine now.”

- “I am fine baby…I’m fine…”

Kira felt warmth of his strong body next to her.

-“Kiss me!”

- “Right here?”

- “Yeap, right here – right now!”

- “As you command…”

With this words Brian moved closer to her face. His round lips opened up towards hers. She could not wait longer and kissed him first. Their kiss was slow and soft.

They heard bartender’s cough behind.

-“Here is you drink for the ride!”

-“Have you left him any tips?”- Kira whispered to Brian

-“Sure” – he kissed tip of her nose.

-‘We can go than?”-she asked opening her bottle and sipping insatiably

-“Yea sure, but slow down you’ll pee yourself!”

She laughed merrily.

-“I’ll be fine – trust me!”

-“Au revoir!”

They left restaurant laughing and bumping into each other as a young couple on their honey moon or vacation.

Until this moment plan was working great.
