Alexia, John, & Jasmine wake up & get up out of their seat as they hear the plane's overhead speak and say that they have landed & to have a beautiful day. All 3 of them walk towards the plane's door & walk out of their gate.
Alexia & John look around for a sign that has Alexia's name on it. Hoping, it's Luke that's holding the sign.
After a few moments, Jasmine asks them both, "What are we looking for?"
John replies, "Trying to find a sign with Alexia's name on it."
Jasmine, now with a confused look on her face, asks, "Why? Who's the friend that's expecting you guys?"
John replies, "One of her online gaming friends that trusts her with his life. I don't know why he does. I think it has to do with him having a massive crush on her for a while now."
Jasmine nods her head, "Well… ok then. That's not weird or suspicious at all!"
John nods his head in agreement, replying, "Yeah… it is"
John shrugs, saying, "Love makes us do weird things that we normally wouldn't do & be blind to the most obvious things. Like how weird it is that he has only seen her face a handful of times, never met her in person, & for some reason, he has a massive crush on her."
Jasmine immediately replies, "What about you? Have you done anything weird for the one you loved, dated, or have a crush on?"
John replies saying, "Yes, MANY TIMES! I'm sure that you can remember the countless times I have done things to get your attention or notice me, in general. I'm sure that you have realized by now that I have had a massive crush on you. So, yes. I have done many weird things, hoping that you would notice me & like me just as much as I like you."
Jasmine, lets out a small chuckle, then says, "What makes you think that I don't already have a crush on you?"
John immediately replies, "Well, the fact that you have barely talked to me before this & that you have dated many people who were not me. I have expected that you have no interest in me, much less a crush. So yeah, that's why," he then looks at Jasmine, saying, "Am I wrong?"
Jasmine replies, "Well, you are partially right, but also partly wrong. I can't explain right now, but you will know more later on."
John goes back to looking at the crowd of people outside of their exit gate, trying to find a sign with Alexia's name on it, then replies, "When will 'later' be?"
Jasmines let out a small chuckle, then says, "When it's the right time for you to know."
John gives Jasmine a confused look, replying, "So that's a never... I got it! I'm not the first person you have said that to in person. I have heard you say that to other guys at school. So I know what that means."
Jasmine let out another small chuckle, then says, "That might be different. You never know! Just wait & see what happens, then you'll have your questions answered. Almost every question that is will get answered. Nothing too personal, of course, if you know what I mean."
John lets out a small chuckle too, "No, of course not. I'm not like that."
Jasmine immediately replies, "Good! Because if you were, then I would leave right now!"
John says, "Well, good thing you won't have to because I love your company."
Jasmine let out another small chuckle, "I knew you would say that or something close to that."
John shakes his head with a smile on his face & says, "You have me all figured out, don't you?"
Jasmine nods her head, replying, "Yes, I do. Because you are not the first guy who has hit on me before, & you are hitting on me as every other guy has."
Alexia suddenly pulls on John's arm, looks at both him & Jasmine, then says, "There is my name! Let's go & hope that it's Luke, & not some weird creeper or anything like that!"
All 3 of them start walking to the guy with the sign with Alexia's name on it. She then asks, the black hair, dark blue-eyed man, "Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
The man then laughs for a quick second & replies, "Alexia, it's me! Luke. The person you said you wanted to meet? Why are you asking me this?"
She then smiles & says, "Well, this is how you look? That's good to know for when we get captured. I can finally describe to them who you are & how you look!" Luke looks at her with a scared look on his face.
She laughs for a moment, then says, "Don't worry. You know that I would never give anyone away. No matter who they were."
Luke sighs in relief, saying, "Ok, right! I need to know who to trust & not to believe. You know-how secretive my work is, & what I do to complete them."
Luke looks over at John & Jasmine, & points, "Well, Alexia, who are they?"
Alexia turns her head around to see that he is pointing at John & Jasmine, she then turns her head back around to Luke, saying, "That's John, & she is his crush, Jasmine. Don't worry, Luke. You can trust them because I trust them. So I hope that you trust me enough to trust them too."
Luke puts his hand down & says, "You know I trust you & always will. So don't worry. If you trust them, then I trust them too. But that doesn't mean I am ok with John being here too!"
Alexia rolls her eyes, replying, "I know you are jealous that he's my best friend & we can hang out with each other more often than you can, but still Luke. You need to relax about that!"
Luke sighs & says, "Ok, sorry, Alexia. I didn't mean to make my future wife mad, uncomfortable, or anything else that's not happiness," Luke has a massive smile on his face. With his eyes looking lovingly at Alexia's bright emerald green eyes.
Alexia suddenly has a confused look on her face after hearing Luke say that. She then replies with, "Um, Luke, I think that's a bit too far! I know you love me & all, but I am sorry to say that I don't like you in that way. That was a bit weird, you know."
Luke looks at her with sadness, replying, "You're right. Sorry, Alexia. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable & forgot that you didn't like me as much as I love you. Please forgive me, Alexia."
Alexia lets out a small chuckle, sighs, shakes her head, & says, "It's ok, Luke. I will let it slide, this time, but please don't do it again."
Luke nods his head in agreement & says, "Ok, I will stop Alexia."
John looks at Luke & says, "Yeah, Luke, that was a bit creepy, & by the way, she doesn't like it when people are creepy around her. The fact she let this one go, this one time, is a miracle. You should count yourself lucky!"
Luke looks over at John & gives him a mad, angry look, angrily saying, "I don't need your input, John!"
Alexia immediately replies, "Luke, relax! He is my best friend for a reason. He knows me more than anyone else, & by the way, he is right. You are lucky I let this slide, this time. I gave you the benefit of not knowing better, but now that you know, I won't be so nice the next time!"
Luke replies with, "Fine, but I still don't like him! And, thank you for letting me know. I didn't know that would bother you so much, or I would not have said it at all!" Luke angrily glares at John, saying to him, "You might have been right, but that doesn't mean that I'm ok with you being here!"
Alexia annoyingly sighs & says, "Look, Luke! Are you going to talk down to John, or are you going to help us? Because we can go back if you're not going to help us at all!"
Luke rolls his eyes, saying, "Ok fine! But one last thing, I never knew SHE was coming too!" He says, pointing at Jasmine.
Alexia immediately replies, "Don't worry, we didn't either, but she helped us with when we ran into a few problems at the airport. So, now here she is!"
Luke squints his eyes at Jasmine & says, "So, you're the one John has a crush on?" He speaks with a confused looked & tone of voice to her.
Jasmine smiles then reply with, "Yeah, I guess I am! Do you have a problem with me too?"
Luke nods his head for a moment then says, in a confused tone of voice, "Well, ok then. Do you have feelings for him too?"
John immediately interrupts him, saying, "Are you going to help us or not, Luke? As Alexia said, We can all leave & go back home right now if you won't help us!"
Luke annoyingly sighs & says, "Fine, let's go! BUT remember, I'm only doing this for Alexia. Not you 2!" he says as he points both at John & Jasmine.
Luke sighs & says, "Follow me, guys! Let's get this over with!"
Luke says, under his breath, "I still don't like you, John. I wish you didn't come here."
Alexia lightly punches him in his shoulder, saying, "I heard that Luke! Just stop complaining & help us. He is experiencing the same things that I am. So maybe he can help with our problem too! I will need all the help I can get!"
Luke turns around, saying, "Oh ok, well, then that changes everything!"
Suddenly all 3 of them hear guns pointed at them from behind & then hear a female voice say, "Stop! Security! Turn around SLOWLY! Don't try anything funny, or we will shoot you!"
All 3 of them slowly turn around with their hands up. Jasmine says, "I'm an FBI agent on a crucial international investigation & all of you are getting in the way of it! So either put your guns down, or I'm going to have to charge you all with Treason!"
The female guard says, "Oh yeah? Well then prove it!"
Jasmine replies, "Ok! Let me get my badge out of my pocket to show you guys!"
The female guard replies with, "Ok, but do it slowly, or we will shoot you regardless!"
Jasmine slowly reaches into her pocket & pulls out her badge. Slowly gives the female guard her badge, then says, "Look, I'm an actual FBI agent. So you will let us all go, or you WILL get charged with Treason!"
The female guard immediately says, "Ok, put your guns away. They're free to go."
All 3 of them put their hands down.
She then looks back at Jasmine & says, "I still have a terrible feeling about you, & I don't know why. Don't cause any trouble while you're here, or we will detain all 3 of you, FBI agent or not!"
Something happened to chapter when I published it the first time, but now it should be fixed!
