2 hours passed by like it was nothing, I waved goodbye to Blue while he was still waiting for his bags.
The OutOfOffice.com representative came quickly and helped me check in for the seaplane ride, as soon as I was done and my bags taken care of I was escorted to the lounge.
I sat at one of the chair, with the seaplane not yet to arrive until another 30 minutes I took out my book little backpack I began reading.
“Is this seat taken?” I looked up only to find Blue standing there looking devilishly handsome in his now hoodie.
“You can sit but I believe the rightful owner will be here soon, get ready to be removed.”
He sat down and sat there not saying a word for a full 3 minutes “You are a bookworm.”
He said, more of a statement than a question. I nodded “I find it quite peaceful.”
He reached out of his bag and took out a book that has seen better days, the cover was old it had bookmarks from pink to blue, orange and yellow. The pages showed signs of being bend from being read, even some of the pages were highlighted indicating that it has been read more than 2 times.
“I believe you know the movie The Fox and the Hound.”
I shook my head no, “Well you’ll love this book, maybe someday we’ll watch the movie together.”
I took the book from his hand and smiled “I’ll definitely read it once I’m done with this one.” I said placing the book inside my bag. “I didn’t know that you also love reading.”
“I loved reading ever since I was young; my dad had a whole library in his house. He would sometimes light the fireplace and me and my mom would sit near the fire on the thick rug and he would just sit on his old chair and start reading to us, and he still does that to this day when I visit him.”
I smiled realizing that it was only now that he finally shared a piece of himself with me.
“That sounds so.. warm and perfect.”
The representative came to inform us that the seaplane has arrived. Making sure that I don’t leave Blue sight i quickly stash my book inside my bag.
Blue quickly helps me get on board and making sure he also sits next to me. I look out the window at the beautiful water glowing under the moonlight.
I look at Blue only to find him already looking at me with a hint of a smile.
