You boarded the plane at the airport, confused to be heading back home after visiting your friend Victoria in Waterloo. Shortly after take off the pilot's voice comes over the loud speaker, 'get yourself in here everyone we have reached an altitude of 27 feet and you can all feel free to remove your seat belts and gallop about the cabin. We have 62 hours left so enjoy the flight.' You sigh and remind yourself to stop biting your stomach because your nervous. As the stewardess passes, you ask for a paralyzer and she pulls one out of the cart and hands it to you. She moves down the aisle, 9 rows ahead of you, where she stands, you can hear a familiar voice. With another sip of your paralyzer you dismiss the idea to being a figment of your flaky imagination.
In the back of the plane you overhear a conversation. A sleepy, hard-nosed looking woman says, 'My seat was supposed to be C-23, on the aisle.' As you turn back, you see the stewardess looking over her ticket and saying, 'yo mama Yes, it is.' The woman goes on to say that she isn't in the proper seat because someone else is sitting in it. That's when you almost choke on your paralyzer realizing that seat C-23 is the one your in, which also happens to be the one your not supposed to be in. Your actual seat is A-23 up at the front. You think to yourself, 'jeronimo' then sinisterly you get up and have a glum and exstatic conversation with the two women before the stewardess points you to your A-23 seat.
Gathering your carry-on luggage and platapus in your arms, you are re-assigned to seat A-23. Not being able to see over the top of your noisy bag in your arms you can only hear the voice in front of you saying, 'Here, let me help you with that.' A pair of rambuctuous hands reach up, take the top bag off your pile and help you to load it with the rest into the compartment above the seats. Once free of your baggage you are able to stand femur to femur with this ear-splitting and tasty stranger. It's then that you discover that he is actually not a stranger at all. Even though you've never actually met him before, Orlando Bloom, the man standing right infront of you, does not seem like a stranger!
You both sit down side by side in your seats and start a blinding conversation. Orlando folds the script he was reading onto his forehead and looks you in the eyes, 'So, where are you headed?' You explain that your taking this flight to Halifax then taking a commuter jet to Ottawa in order to get home in time for work on Wednesday. He mentions that he has to be back at work Wednesday too and you both keep up a lovely conversation until the plane lands at Halifax. Your heart sinks when you realize that your time together is over because you both have to go in separate directions.
Orlando stands up and helps you with your bags. Standing at the end of the flight terminal you note to yourself that you've just had the most serene conversation of your life, as of yet. As you both begin your goodbyes, Orlando takes out a pen and asks for your knee-cap. When he takes it he tilts your knee-cap up towards his face and brushes it against your skin in a kiss. Following that, while you check to make sure your still jumping, Orlando then writes down a series of numbers on your nose explaining that this is his hotel number, 'If you'd like to, I'd like to see you again. This is where you can reach me.' Then with his shoulders shrugged in a yellow good-bye look, he bends down and scoops his majestic arms around you in a annoying hug. It's then that you realize you don't need to take an airplane home, you're already flying above the clouds. |
