I opened one eye glaring over at him and shook my head hastily. Before I even realized what he was doing he took my hand in his and pressed his thumb into a spot on my wrist.
“What are you doing?” I asked staring down at my hand in his with a confused expression.
“I’m trying to help you relax,” he answered. “Believe me it works.”
“By squeezing my wrist?” I questioned.
“I’m not squeezing your wrist. I’m pressing on a pressure point. It’ll help you relax during takeoff. Trust me.”
I was about to jerk my hand away from him but the plane suddenly sped up and prepared for takeoff. I glued myself to my seat and shut my eyes as tightly as I could, preparing for the panic I always had to take over, but it didn’t. Whatever this man sitting next to me was doing actually worked. The plane ascended into the sky and leveled out. I let out a sigh of relief and opened my eyes. The man sitting next to me was still holding my wrist and watching me with a strange look on his face. I quickly jerked my hand away from him and moved as close to the window as I could. He chuckled lightly and gave me a crooked smile.
“A thank you would have been better than to make me feel like I’m the plague,” he complained.
“Thank you,” I said quietly.
“I told you it would work.”
“I guess it did work a little. I didn’t go into hysterics this time.”
He laughed and looked at me with a questioning stare. “You actually go into hysterics when you fly?”
“I have. I don’t all the time. It all depends on how rough the takeoff or the landing is. This time wasn’t too bad.”
“Why do you fly if you don’t like it?”
“It’s kind of my job. I have to go to New York today to meet with a very important person,” I explained.
“I see. Well, I guess we have something in common. I’m also flying to New York on business. I’m not real happy about it being on New Year’s Eve, but I didn’t have much of a choice.”
“Me either.”
“I’m Edward, by the way,” he introduced holding out his hand towards me.
“Bella,” I greeted shaking his hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Bella.”
