Chapter One hundred and Thirty two:
After a far too early call time, getting packed up and into the car several hours before their flight, and finally getting on the plane, everyone had been exhausted. Several hours later, Isaac slowly woke from a light and fitful sleep to find Christy still awake and sitting with a calculator and a notebook on her lap.

He lifted his head. “Christy? Honey? What are you doing?”

“Hmm? Oh, I’m just looking over some numbers for the wedding. Your mom sent me a list of possible locations she wants us to look at, and I’m trying to sort out which ones fit into our budget and which ones aren’t worth our time.” She sighed, pushing her hair back out of her face.

“Honey, don’t worry so much, okay? It’s late, and we talked about expanding the budget if necessary…” He draped an arm around her shoulders.

“I know, and I love you for that.” She smiled at him. “I’m just stressed, I guess.” She rested her head on his shoulder.

“Try to sleep. I’ll go over your work and see what I can do. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes really helps.”

Christy smiled. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He smiled.

“And if it isn’t too much trouble, baby, can you put a little star next to all the locations you’d like to look at?”

“Okay sure.” He turned the page. “Wait, C, these are all churches…”

“Yeah…”

“And you aren’t religious.”

“I know, but remember we talked about having a traditional wedding, and I thought a church would be a pretty and traditional place to get married. And your family is religious…”

“Alright. But maybe we should look at some regular banquet halls too.”

“Okay.”

)))))))))))))(((((((((((((
Becky stuffed her carry on into the over-head compartment and sat down with a tired sigh next to Zac.

“You okay, Becca?” He asked, looking up from his magazine.

“I’m fine. I just hate being cooped up on a plane for a few hours.”

“Me too… They’re showing ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ for the movie, though.”

Becky laughed. “I think I’ll sleep through that.”

“What?” Zac grinned. “That movie is a classic!”

Becky smiled. “You’re adorable.”

“Okay, then let’s play a game, and get our minds off the boring flight.”

Becky laughed. “You’re crazy.”

“Come on, it’ll be fun. Twenty Questions?”

She smiled. “I suck at that game.”

“Okay,” He laughed. “I spy with my little eye…”

Becky laughed. “You’re adorable.”

“Yeah, I know. I’m adorable and I’m irresistible to women.”

“Women? I’m not the only one in your life?” She teased, planting her hands on her hips.

“Of course you are! You’re the only woman in my life.” He placed a hand on her knee. “I’m only kidding. You know I love you babe.”

“You’d better.” She teased.

He laughed.

She turned sideways in her seat and rested her head against the back of the chair.

“Tired?” He asked.

Becky nodded.

“Why don’t you nap, then? I can call the stewardess and ask for a blanket and a pillow…”

“No, Zac, it’s okay.” She smiled. “I don’t think I could sleep even if I tried… I can never sleep on a plane.”

“Never? Not even with your Zaccy bear next to you?”

Becky giggled. “Zaccy bear? When have I ever called you that?”

“Well, you could start. Add it to the list of things you already call me…. Babe, Zac, Zaccy… sex god.”

Becky laughed.

“Come here.” He tapped the back of her leg, and slid her legs over his lap.

“What?” She smiled.

“Put your head on my shoulder, and I guarantee you’ll be asleep in twenty minutes.”

“Yeah? What do I get if I win?” She smiled.

“I’ll take you out to dinner.”

Becky kissed his lips. “Deal.” She rested her head on his shoulder and curled into his body.

“You know I’ll take you to dinner even if I win, right?”

Becky laughed. “You don’t have to…”

“I want to. Come on, sleep.”
