Inside, Jess munched on a
chicken Caesar salad whilst Dom and Billy were surrounded by the
biggest breakfast platters they could buy. Suddenly Billy's phone
rang it was Elijah.
Hi! How are you?
yeah?
ok then, good to hear from
you, bye! Billy put the phone down. He's home.
Already?! Jess gasped.
Concorde. Billy explained.
Jess's scoffings of famous rich people were muffled by the chicken
bits.
What do we do now? Asked Dom.
Try and call another taxi? Billy suggested.
NO Said Jess, who couldn't survive another
game of 'I Spy'.
Well, what do you suggest? Dom asked her.
Hitch-hiking? Jess snorted.
In these heels?
Well how else are we going to get there? WALK?!
DON'T SHOUT AT ME!
I'LL TALK TO YOU HOW I DAMN WELL WANT, YOUNG LADY!
I'LL ELOPE! Jess warned, grabbing hold of Billy's
arm. I'LL ELOPE WITH AN OLDER MAN THAT YOU DISAPPROVE
OF!
YOU WOULDN'T DARE!
LOOK, you two
Billy peeled Jess off his
arm. We need to think of a solution, so can we act like adults,
please?
Jess nodded and stuck her tongue out at Dom.
I say we jog. Dom said, ignoring Jess.
NO.
Well, Jess doesn't like that idea much. Billy
said.
Hang on
Dom looked up and saw a plane flying
low over their heads. Is that an airport over there?
His words were drowned out by the sound of the plane.
WHAT? Billy yelled over the noise.
I SAID: IS THAT AN AIRPORT OVER THERE?
WHAT? Jess screamed.
I SAID: The plane flew off. IS THAT
AN-
Ooh, is that an airport? Billy pointed.
I think you're right. Said jess. C'mon, Dom,
stop shouting and hurry up.
Dom gnashed his teeth before following them.
Hi, can I have three
tickets to Glasgow, please?
Why don't you just walk? The lady serving them asked.
Look, missy, I'd like three tickets, now. Dom
was starting to get really pissed off.
Missy?
Yes, well you are a miss aren't you? Or should I look up
your skirt?
WHAT? The lady shrieked.
Your skirt? That is assuming that you're wearing
one
or maybe you're one of those modern feminist women
wearing trousers
or maybe you're like Christina
Aguilera
wearing NOTHING! He tried to jump up on the
desk.
Excuse me, sir. I'd calm down if I were you. Dom
climbed off the desk after successfully finding that she was
wearing a skirt. A policeman was holding onto his elbow. I
think we'll have a look in your luggage, shall we? The
policeman carted him off leaving Billy and Jess standing alone by
the ticket counters.
Oh, he does this EVERY TIME! Billy muttered
angrily, marching off towards the police interview room (he knew
the way quite well by now).
