Sasha put her right hand over her eyes as she looked down from the plane’s window, a few drops already hitting the glass as the plane started its descent.
Smiling, she looked at her lap where the book she had been reading for the past hours rested, her shoulders felt sore as well as her neck but the glint of happiness in her eyes never wavered as she heard the captain of the plane telling the passengers that they were a few minutes away from achieving their destination.
As she opened the book she eyed the photo that she had been using as a bookmark; her own smile looking back at her as another smile, wider than the one she sported on the photo, was also pictured. The cocoa colored eyes of April looking at her, the moonlight the only source of light from the photo that was starting to worn out at the borders.
“It’s a beautiful photo” Murmured the woman that was seated at her side, her own eyes smiling softly at the now blushing Sasha.
“It is” Answered the blonde as she remembered the moments stolen in that beach, the soft and muttered promises as both April and she had felt that they could do everything that they wanted.
“You look happy” Added the woman as they both jumped a little once the plane hit land and Sasha arched an eyebrow as the woman at her side clenched her fists tightly as she blanched.
“I can’t understand why you keep fearing planes, it’s not like we didn’t travel a lot the first few years”536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubOOnBgGVB
April finally relaxed as she hit the blonde’s shoulder playfully, some people starting to stand up as the plain finally settled but both of them remained seated, waiting a little more.
“Well, I can’t understand why you haven’t told me yet that I looked happy too!” The brunette answered as Sasha snickered, her neck cracking when she moved it and both woman winced a little at that.
“I was too busy watching you in the present” Grumbled the green eyed woman as she finally stood up with April, both of them exiting the plane and starting trying to found their belongings, the sounds that filled the airport forcing them to raise a little bit their voices who echoed with soft banter as they kept bickering, a soft smile planted in their lips as the continued.
“No, really ‘Aps, Aimée had the same problem but after starting to drink that herbal tea recipe that she founded in one of those old books…”
“I told you, I don’t want to drink anything, I have that problem with airports and I will ever have it” Replied the brunette as she finally spotted their luggage. “There, help me a little”
Sticking her tongue out Sasha followed the bossy brunette until both of them achieved the main exit of the airport, different languages and people filling the air as they tried to spot the person who had promised them to be there on time.
“I think she does this on purpose” Commented the blonde as she yawned, April had managed to sleep on the plain but she hadn’t and now she was starting to feel it. “She always manages to keep us waiting”
“Well, it was your idea to have a fight with my mother the first time you came visiting darling” Pointed April out as she looked down at her phone, wondering if that time her mother was going to pick them up or they were going to need to call a taxi.
The blonde covered her eyes in frustration as April tried to hide a little smirk, her mother and Sasha had been at each other’s throats since their first meeting but the brunette didn’t care about it anymore. In fact she was pretty sure that Sasha liked her mother and vice versa even if they told her once and again that she was wrong.
“That was years ago” Protested the blonde as she turned and tried to see Jeanine’s figure between the people that was walking around them.
“Indeed” Agreed April as she put her sliding glasses on their place as she tried not to keep smirking. “So this year how about you try not to kill each other at Christmas? I would want to have a dinner without you trying to tell her the proper manner to taste a good wine”
“That was only once and I didn’t know that she was going to get so worked up” Defended Sasha but even her was smiling at that memory. “And if I don’t try to bicker her then she is going to keep saying that she wants to be a grandmother and everything so maybe it’s better if we just play along with our normal plan: I try to make her furious and you avoid the talk”
“Or you could actually try to act as your age and simply come and be a nice daughter-in-law for me, Miss Lamont” Said a voice behind of her and Sasha blushed as April bit her lower lip trying not to laugh at her mother and Sasha’s faces.
“Relax mother, besides she isn’t Miss Lamont anymore” Said the brunette as she interlaced her right fingers with Sasha’s, their rings clicking softly against each other.
“Whatever” Murmured the older woman “But, off the record, I’m glad to see that you are finally here. How is everything on the island, dear?”
“Briand is being a pain in our asses” Explained Sasha as she watched the tight hug that both mother and daughter gave each other, her skin returning slowly to its normal color as she let April’s hand go. “But April is being amazing”
“After the three years that both of you wasted traveling half around the world it’s a wonder how she managed to keep being amazing” Answered Jeanine but the scowl on her face was almost as fake as the hard look that Sasha gave her.
“I love you” Mouthed April as she interlaced her hand with Sasha’s once again, her wife and her mother already starting another discussion.
“And I do too” Whispered the blonde when Jeanine finally looked into another direction.
