- KATE -
My plane landed. I just finished the whole check out process at the airport and take it from , as stressful and long as it was, I’d choose it to being back ho throughout a family crisis. That was mind boggling. Exhausting too.
I’ve never craved a ti so much in my life. These long few weeks seed like years and I barely felt like myself throughout the whole phase till Killian got involved. Once again, he was my saviour.
I let out a sigh as I stare at the sky. Who would’ve thought I would miss perceiving the air of this city? Who would’ve thought I’d miss staring at the sky? I take a deep breath, filling my lungs with air on purpose before letting it out through my mouth.
Today will be a good day, I can sense it. I make my way forward, heading to the car park. My private taxi is out there sowhere. The mont I walk out of the hotel building, I sight her in the sea of people waiting at the entrance, my smile widens and I walk up to her. I knew she was the one when my na was printed in bold on a white board in her hand coupled with the fact that I am well accustod to her face.
“Kate Kabello?” The woman, my taxi driver professionally dressed in a suit, asks and I nod. Well, maybe she’s not accustod to my face. She imdiately takes my luggage trolley from , pushing it forward instead.
Why, thank you, I say in my mind, following closely behind till she gets to her car. The boot cos open and the taxi driver loads my things in the vehicle from the trolley. I walk to the back seat when she fully unloaded my things then slamd the boot shut.
The car door leading to the back seat is open. I know I didn’t open it but I sit down inside anyway. I let my body get comfortable on the seat. Right now, all I crave is good sleep and good food but I know it’s far fetched right now. I won’t be having much of either since I’d be preparing for exams.
The sound of a door coming open then shut slid in my ears. I hear sothing click like it was being fastened into sothing. I don’t need my eyes open to know what just happened. The taxi driver just got into the car and buckled her seat belt.
“Do you still have the area code?” I ask, my head comfortably rested on the backseat with my eyes shut closed.
“Yes I do.” The car engine starts as she responds. She calls it out for . This is when I beco at peace.
I want to sleep. I barely had any rest when I was in the plane. “You can begin the journey.” I say. This is when the vehicle starts to move. An exhale leaves my lips as sleepiness overtakes . I’m more than excited to be back here, that much I’m sure I have expressed countless tis, but right now, the one thing that keeps joyful is knowing I’d be going ho to et him.
He’s waiting for . I genuinely anticipate the surprise, whatever it is. My mind can’t even think of anything befitting for a surprise by a man like himself but one thing I know for sure is that it must be sothing big.
I let my body fall on the back seat, clutching my legs into a fold as I lay down on it. I’ll spend the night at Killian’s today, then I’d probably be back in my dorm after. My body is itching to et my bestie. We have not had a proper conversation for weeks and it’s my fault.
With sleepy eyes, I dip my phone into my purse, which is on the seat in front of my tummy, to hold out my phone, rereading the text Killian sent to a few days back before my departure. A subtle smile forms on my lips as I return my phone back into the purse.
My heart dances. If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it is the fact that I love surprises. Especially from a man I love. Especially when that said man almost never does heartfelt things for without my request or the situation seemingly forcing him to do such, not because he wants to.
My smile widens. This should be good. Maybe he’d open himself to today. And maybe, just maybe, during that ti, if he does, he’d let touch him. . . . And he’d touch .
