Chapter 23: Found you
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Macro Airlines welcomes you to City A. The local time is two o'clock in the afternoon. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisles clear until we are parked at the gate..."
Knox stretched his arms up as he yawned, then he straightened his back and joined his fingers, twisting his arms forward.
Crack.
"Ooh, that feels nice!"
He stretched his back and shoulders and they made the same noise. His body felt so stiff and heavy after working for three days without proper sleep. So, as soon as the plane took off, he fell asleep for the entire duration of the six-hour flight and was just woken up by the voice of the flight attendant.
He gathered his luggage and got off. After six hours of sleep, he felt refreshed and well-rested, but not enough to deal with a crowd blocking the exit. His eyes squinted after flashes of the camera came from the front.
"What? Is there a celebrity?"
He tried to peek above the couple of heads to see who it was. The person standing in the middle of the commotion surrounded and protected by men in black, was a tall and skinny woman with short, shiny black hair revealing her pale nape and ears that wore wrist-sized gold hoop earrings. She was wearing vintage Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, and her lips were painted as red as roses, highlighting her snow-white skin.
Knox paused momentarily. The woman was familiar, but he couldn't put his tongue on where he had seen her.
A reporter followed with a cameraman behind, approached the woman, and loudly asked, "Ms. Diva, are you really retiring from modeling and will focus on running your father's company after your marriage?!"
Someone shouted from behind, "Are the rumors true that you're retiring because you're pregnant?!"
