This Love

37

A/N this is a long one...sorry not sorry 😬😅 also I've never been to Australia soooo the accuracy is not there, it's on my list of places to go though 👍

I'm running around my room a few days later making sure that I have everything packed in my suitcase for my flight. "Callie" I look up at Jill who is smiling at me, "you have everything don't worry" I sigh and sit on the edge of my bed, "what if they don't like me" I say quietly, my friend sits next to me a hand on my arm, "they're going to love you babe, you know why?" I look up at her in response, "because Daniel loves you, and that tattoo you got is proof of that" she adds while rotating my wrist so that I see the heart and the Australian's handwriting, my finger traces over the letters gently and I smile. "Let's get this show on the road!" Lexi exclaims while coming into the room grinning, I look up happily, "just have to zip up my bag" I say as I stand up to do just that. My friends push me out of the room, my bag rolling behind us as I laugh at their eagerness.

Once i've said goodbye to my friends and passed through security at the airport I pull out the boarding pass that I printed earlier, scanning the sheet to find the gate number. My mouth drops open when I see that my ticket is for first class, I shake my head knowing that i'll need to talk to Dan about it when I land. For the time being I walk over to the waiting area at the boarding gate, sitting down with a smile pulling out a book to read to occupy myself. As I reach the end of a chapter the boarding announcement for my flight comes on, I shove my book into my carryon and stand up making sure that I have my pass ready as I approach the desk at the gate. The woman who scans the pass smiles and tells me to have a good flight, I smile and walk past the desk to walk onto the plane. At my seat my eyes are wide seeing the nice leather seats, a pillow and blanket waiting, I stuff my carry on in the overhead compartment quickly and sit down, a sigh leaving my lips as I lean back closing my eyes.

What feels like weeks later I'm getting woken up by a flight attendant. She tells me that we're going to be landing in Perth soon, I nod and sit up running my fingers through my hair to put it up into a bun. I push my glasses up higher onto my nose as I peer out the window watching the plane slowly ascend to the ground. I grin when we land excited to be back in Australia and anxious to see Dan. When the seatbelt light turns off I jump out of my seat to grab my carry on. I swiftly shrug off my sweater stuffing it into the bag preparing for the warmer weather that is sure to greet me when I get outside.

My lip is caught under my teeth when I step into the airport, my eyes scanning the crowd for Dan. I shuffle through the travellers excited to see my favourite Australian. When the crowd disperses Dan comes into view, he's smiling with his hands in his pockets, I grin rushing over. I throw my arms around the race car driver's neck making him laugh as he winds his arms around my waist.

Once he pulls away I shove him, "what?" he asks confused, "you got me a first class seat" I reply, he smiles pressing his lips to mine, any fight I had left in me disappears. My one hand rests on his chest, the other held in his while he keeps me close. Dan pulls away slowly, "I wanted you to have the best Cal" I smile moving my hand up to caress his cheek, "but I don't need a first class plane ticket Danny, I'm okay with economy, as long as you're waiting on the other end of the flight" he presses a quick kiss to my lips, "okay okay, let's go get your bag" I smile and he leads me to luggage pickup.

"Wow another amazing place where you live" I mumble as Dan leads me into his condo. The large windows providing a breathtaking view of the ocean, "I think my view is way better right now" I turn to see his eyes on me, I blush, "stop doing that" he laughs making me smile at the sound. Hands come to my hips so I look up, "you will always be my favourite view Callie" i swat at his chest, "stoooop" he catches my wrist pressing his lips to the tattoo residing there, "nope" he replies with a smile. I pout as he kisses my head which brings another smile to my face, I watch him take my bags from me, "I can do that Dan" he shakes his head, "I'm a gentleman so I'll do it, you just wait here gorgeous" I sigh but let him bring my stuff to the bedroom.
