[ Jesse grins, nodding. He has an almost child-like excitement to him. It's probably the fact that the last time he actually went on a vacation was when he was just a kid, with his folks. Probably before his younger brother jake was born. Family vacations slowed down after that, what with the age-gap and the additional financial pressure of having another kid. Then Jesse became a rebellious teenager and that was about the time the vacations stopped. They'd still sometimes go out with Jake on weekends, but Jesse was usually left to his own devices, at least until that began to get him into trouble.
Jesse tries not to think of all that now, though. This is a new opportunity, and he's definitely down with the company this time around. He looks from Alexis' hand up to her face and smiles as he grabs onto her, only to be tugged along to the gate. He almost trips over himself in their haste, but they arrive and show their IDs and boarding passes or whatever, getting ushered onto the plane. Their seats are roomy and comfortable, and they're greeted with another glass of champagne each to sip on while the rest of the passengers board. Jesse raises his eyebrows at Alexis. ]
I was always on the other side of the 'fuck you' curtain.
[ Jesse laughs as he gestures behind him, towards the curtains that the flight attendants close to separate business class from the coach seats once the flight reached altitude. ]
[She loves this excitement to him. It makes his eyes look so bright. His grin is incandescent. It makes her giggle and feel just as bubbly. Together, they go through the procedure of boarding the plane. They get to go first as they make their way to first class where there's certainly more room all around. An attendant helps them stow their carry on and offers their champagne.
She takes her glass and takes the aisle seat, letting him have the window to see everything. Alexis looks like she's in her zone as she sips her drink. Smiling at him, she enjoys his joy. They can hear the sound of other people boarding beyond the curtain.]
How does it feel?
[She likes the legroom. It's one of the things she'd definitely missed about flying when she'd been broke. She clinks her glass against his.]
We have better Wi-Fi access here too! And the meals are divine.
