Brian came out of the toilet door and smiled. Kira was right, he felt much better and sober now. His heart was pumping blood and it felt like adrenalin.
“Today is the beginning of the crazy month…You knew that when agreed to this, so enjoy!” – he thought to himself while searching for Kira.
She set on the metallic bench in the smoking area with champagne glass in hand and cigarette in the other. Her eyes were closed when she made a drag than she brought the glass to the lips and made a sip, swallowed and than exhaled.
Brian smiled and checked the time –they had 20 min before boarding.
Kira watched him all the time through her lashes. He walked up to her much more confident. She looked up and smiled.
- “We have 20 min before boarding, sweet”.
- “I know! I want to finish drinks and run quickly to the toilet. All the liquid is looking for way out now!”
- “I know exactly what you mean, sweet!”
- “So let’s get back to the bar and finish Champagne
- “Could you be a doll and bring to us? I do not feel like getting up and leaving the place where I can smoke before long flight…Please…
Brian smiled at her and got up. He returned in 2 seconds with bottle and pore some in their glasses. Few foreign men did point at them. Kira could hear them whispering some sort of “How inappropriate this is…” phrases in each others ears.
She tried to hold back but she was high and could not stand this bullshit, especially not on her “honeymoon”.
She lit up her cigarette and grabbed her glass made a massive sip and smile with her devilish smile. Brian knew immediately that she is up to something. But he had no idea what was that.
Second sip and her glass is empty
-“I need a refill babe”
-“Easy tiger…”
-“You know I’m fine sweet” she kissed his cheek – “Do not worry”
Kira turned around while Brain was managing her drink and looked directly at those foreigners. They were in theirs mid 40’s, had grey hair, red noses and very snobby look about them self.
- “So you are British!” – “Haven’t you mother teach you not to talk behind some ones back?”
- “…”
There was dead silence because Kira said it with perfect British accent and with tone that gives no other options but to obey.
- “I am on my honeymoon… We are, actually! And we are aloud to be a little out of order. You on the other hand – are on the business trip and yet you are drinking at 6 a . m. So who is out of order here?”
- “Are you going to answer her” – Brian joined the discussion
One guy cleared his throat.
- “I am very sorry miss, we are sorry, for misjudging and talking behind your back. Congratulations on the marriage. Have a lovely honeymoon!”
- “Yes, very sorry” – second guy awoke from the slumber.
- “Apologies accepted, thank you” – Kira turned around and smiled.
- “To the world peace”
- “You are crazy!” – Brian kissed her head and drank his champagne.
They heard flight info has been called out loud. Gate 3 was ready to welcome them. They checked bottle it was almost empty.
-“Do you have anything left in the pocket?”
-“Nope I did it all”
-“OK so I’ll go first to the ladies. You’ll go after me. Leave me some of the drink”
- “OK”
Kira went to the ladies and did all the procedure very quickly. She managed to put slightly more for Brian to keep him through out the flight. They had 6 hours ahead to get to the island.
She returned to the smoking lot and put package in his pocket and whispered the warning of using it all.
Brian left for WC and Kira lit up yet another cigarette. She was making up for all the years. Last glass of champagne in her hand felt cool and wet. She was very thirsty.
- “Damn! We left bottles of Champagne
Brian showed up looking bubbly and happy.
- Common we need to hurry!”
- “Coming!”
Kira put out her cigarette and drained her glass. Her future was calling. Should she answer?
