I couldn’t bear the look he was giving me right now so I looked away.
Skylar, you still love me… Right ? He all but pleaded.
I couldn’t continue on with my evil facade any longer. So, turning back to him, I grabbed his face in my hands and connected our lips.
He took a while to respond from the shock, but slowly his lips started to move in sync with mine.
I poured every ounce of love and care I had for this boy into the kiss, feeling explosions of fiery hot sparks and butterflies in my stomach. Eventually we pulled away and breathed for air. I rested my forehead against his, looking up at him.
Don’t ever ask me that question again. Don’t ever doubt my love for you. I said seriously, trying to etch that into his mind.
My heart fluttered as I saw his lips pull up in a soft smile. You weren’t really doing a good job of telling me that just a minute ago. Nathan said, referring to my devious little act.
I was just trying to get you back for the smoothie thing. I said quietly, biting my lip nervously.
Nathan’s eyes glanced down at my lips from the action, looking back up and reading me. He rose an eyebrow when I didn’t say anything.
And I might still be kind of pissed at you for leaving and wanted you to know how I felt. I admitted sheepishly, looking away.
God I was so selfish.
I felt his gentle fingers slide under my chin as he met his gaze with mine.
Then he spoke. You think I didn’t feel like you did ? Like my heart had a hole in it and you were the only one who could fill it ? Like I was all alone ? Because let me tell you Skylar, I felt that and more. I can’t even begin to explain how much I missed you, and how much it ate me alive not being here with you.
By the end of his little speech, I was in tears. Nathan, I’m sorry I was being so selfish. It just sucked so much not having you here and I know it wasn’t your fault. But I just wish- I cut myself off right there and looked away.
You just wish what ? Nathan asked me softly, moving my head back to meet his reassuring gaze.
Nothing. It doesn’t matter. You’re here now and that’s all that matters. I stated firmly, drinking in his beautiful features and feeling a lot better, knowing that he was mine and that he wasn’t going anywhere.
Nathan’s face erupted into a large smile. You’re perfect.
I broke out into an irrepressible smile at his words.
Beautiful. Nathan added, his eyes studying my face as he held smile of awe.
Yours. I said, adoring the expression he held for me. His striking emerald eyes held such joy and admiration. I felt my soul bound to his.
My soulmate.
Nathan’s eyes lit up and he grinned devilishly. Mine. He affirmed.
I giggled, feeling giddy all of a sudden with the way he was looking at me. I truly felt like a princess.
Before I could say anything more, the gate attendant’s voice came out from the speakers above us.
Nathan quickly slapped his hands over my ears before I could even catch the first word.
My loving gaze dropped to a deadpan as he gave me a smug smirk, winking.
After about twenty seconds, he finally dropped his hands and I could hear again.
Are we boarding now ? I asked.
Yes ma’am. Nathan winked at me.
I grinned excitedly and got up with Nathan now, collecting our bags.
Here I got them. Nathan said, taking both the suitcases and beginning to drag them behind him before I could protest. You just walk backwards in front of me. He added with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes, before complying and trusting my boyfriend to guide me towards the line-up with my back to the screen so that I wouldn’t be able to see where we were going. Luckily he did a good job of it.
It was one thing I was wearing a big poofy prom dress at the airport, but I wasn’t going to start bumping into people backwards on top of it…
You can slow down and stop now. Nathan instructed and I did as he told.
I knew he would somehow manage to lead me to our secret destination without me knowing in any way. How he would do that on the plane was beyond me, but he was trying so hard and I found his efforts adorable.
He really was doing a good job at making it up to me for the last three months.
I smiled as my boyfriend caught my adoring gaze on him. He smiled back and we shared a look of admiration towards each other.
I swear I heard someone in the line yell something about a honeymoon phase, but I was too stupidly in love with this guy to care.
I love you so much. Nathan finally spoke, shuffling us forward as the line moved up.
I love you back twice as much. I answered with a silly grin.
You can’t say that. Remember what happened last time ? Nathan said disapprovingly, amusement in his eyes.
I giggled as I remembered ironically enough it was at an airport. But what if I told you the kiss was worth getting thrown into jail ? I asked with a wink.
Glad we’re both on the same page. Nathan muttered, before pulling me flush against him and kissing the living daylights out of me.
We ignored the groans and yells from behind us as we kissed like it was our last. This was perfect. This boy right here was beyond anything I could ever wish for and more.
