Today is our departure to Florida to visit Anna's family for Thanksgiving. I could no longer wait. I woke up early, shower and make breakfast. After that i lock my apartment and heading to office. I know. It sucks to be me. I still have to arrange one meeting and make a new deal.

Anyway i've done with business. The meeting went smoothly and my client agreed with our proposal. I quickly gather my things and get home early.

As soon as i arrived, i hit the shower, wash my hair and brush my teeth. I put on my blue t-shirt, black jeans and snickers. I want to be comfortable during the flight. After i finished i put my suitcase in my car trunk and turn on the ignition.

I glance at my watch 16:17. I knock on Anna's door getting a one minute reply. I tap my foot and the door open revealing my beautiful girlfriend.

"It's one minute and three seconds. You're late." She rolls her eyes.

"Well, hey to you too. Where is my kiss." I grin and peck her on the lips while i'm about to break the kiss she deepens it. She circles her arms around my neck and i hold her waist. As we got carry away, someone fakes a cough. We stop and having Mrs. Mathilda glares at us. She is an old homophobic woman.

"Get a room!"

"Oh we will." I give her my signature smirk. With that she left.

Anna closes the door behind us. Once inside, she bursts out laughing. I join her.

"You see her glare? Her big eyes. I thought they would jump out." She manages to say between laugh. I simply nod.

"So are you finish. Our flight is in one hour. I don't want to be late."

"Yup. Now you can take my luggages to the trunk." She points her thumb behind her. My jaw instantly drop.

"You do realize we only spend four days right." She nods.

"It looks like you go for two weeks."

"Am i?" She shrugs her shoulder. "Now hurry. Don't want to miss the flight." She turns her heels and left. I literally slap my head.

We arrive at the airport just in time. We bring all along our baggage, mostly me and go to the check-in desk.

Soon enough we take a sit on the plane and that's when anxiety kicks me. I tell you a little secret of mine. I'm afraid of height. I don't know what causes it. Maybe some of the airplane crash that reported on the news. I have to calm myself. Not working. I already put my seatbelt on and fasten it. I read all the instructions on what should we do if accident happens. My palms getting sweaty and my heart run a thousand miles. We're not even take-off.

"You okay?" Anna places her arm on mine. Looks of concern are clear on her face. I shake my head no.

"I'm scared." I reply sheepishly.

"Oh you poor little thing afraid of height. Come to mommy." She gives me one-sided hug, keeping me close and rubs my back. Well her words are mocking but her action speaks otherwise.

Not so long the Captain make a small briefing before take-off "Flight attendants, prepare for take-off please."

Here we go.

"Breathe in breathe out. You can do this." She gives me a warm smile. I don't bulge. Instead i squeeze my eyes shut and sending a silent prayer. I hold on tight Anna's hand. I can hear the machine roars and start moving gaining speeds. Help me God.

Just about the planes take off, i feel Anna's lips on mine kissing me sweetly. It helps me forgetting my fear. Once we're on the sky, she pulls away.

"How was it?"

"Scary yet amusing." I giggle.

"Good. I don't like a coward." She mocks me again.

"I am not. What did i do wrong to have such an irrational fear?" I pout.

"Yeah whatever. Pussy." I hit her arm playfully.

During the flight Anna gives me a short story about her family. She knows that i'm kind of nervous. Who wouldn't.

She claims that her parents are nice and humorous. Her parents are one happy couple. Mr. and Mrs. Archer first met when they went to college together. Nothing happened. Their second encounter was at the local diner. This time there were sparks, they exchanged numbers and continue meeting each other. Five years later they vowed to each other in a small church and held a garden party.

Her mom is a good cook. While she was young, she worked at a café. Soon enough she was hired as a chef at the local restaurant. After she married and have her third child, she decided to quit her job being a housewife. Her husband used to be a businessman. He was pretty successful. With a lot of travelling and time consuming, he thought that he 'abandoned' his own family. That is the reason he resigned. To support their family, they open a bistro not too far from their house.

Anna has one older brother and one younger sister. Aaron, his brother is thirty years old and once married. When his son, Ashton hit three, his wife left him. She doesn't tell me the reason though. Well it's not my business anyway. Alice her sister just entered college. She is very girly and obsessed with Disney princesses. So that's why she brought along Anna to watch Frozen multiple times.

Now to think about it, their names all started with an A. Triple A. Are they lack of alphabets ?

Actually i hate to take this flight at this hour. It will take about five hours before we landed. By the time we arrive, it will be late at night. I don't want to make difficult her parents or disturb their night. What can i do. I offer Anna to take an early flight but she refuses. So here I am, sitting on the plane with my girlfriend. She falls asleep an hour ago. I envy her. I want to but there are a few turbulence and I'm on high alert. I wonder how can she sleeps peacefully. I glance at her face. She's so beautiful. I'm so lucky.

I feel a tap on my shoulder. I blink a few time before gaining back my vision. I must've fallen asleep somehow.

"We're here." Anna smiles.

"We are?" She nods.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Orlando International Airport. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you. On behalf of American Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice evening!"

"Oh we will see you again in four days." I reply sarcastically. Anna giggles.

"Come on. Let's grab a taxi." I nod. Once again I have to be the one who bring our things. Doesn't she know that it's heavy.

The driver takes a final turn and I can see Anna's parents house. It's hard to not notice. It's not too big not too small but what intrigued me is its color, white with black dots. Like dalmatian. Yup the dog.

"I know right. My parents are something. My dad repainted it two years ago."

We come to a stop. Paying the taxi driver with extra tips because he just nice to us. Giving us direction to some places, like mall, movie or recreational center.

Knock knock.

Anna gives me a reassuring smile. The door creaks open and there stand her parents.

"Anna, sweetheart. We miss you." Her parents give her a group hug and kiss on the cheeks. I smile at that. Her mother breaks from the hug and look at me. I stiffen.

"Hello dear. I'm Anastasia and this is my husband, Albert. Anna told us we will have an extra guest." She walks over to me and gives me a hug while Albert gives me a firm hand shake.

"It's very nice to meet you. Let me thank you for your kindness having me here. I don't want to interfere your family holiday though." I give them my best smile.

"You don't. No worries. Come on in." Mr. Archer says as he shrugs his shoulder and motion us to enter his house.

"I never catch your name dear." Mrs. Archer says. I mentally slap my head.

"Oh. I'm sorry Ma'am. My name is Elsa. I am your daughter's girl-"Anna nudges me in the stomach.

"She's my new best-friend Mom." She says sweetly. I'm shocked. She says what. Before I open my mouth she grips my wrist and drags me upstairs.

"It's late Mom. We can talk in the morning. We have to rest. Our flight wasn't a smooth one. See you tomorrow."

"Good night Mr. and Mrs. Archer" I give them a weak smile. They smile back.
