It's finally Friday, and I am ecstatic because Josh is flying in this afternoon. I've told all my sister's that I was going to pick up a friend at the airport and they gave me a questioning look. What? He IS just a friend! Anyways, I jump into my car and start backing out of the driveway. I take a deep breath and pull into traffic. I can't believe that he is going to be here. I'm still a little uneasy about introducing him to all my sisters. Hopefully he will be cool with it. 

I merge with oncoming traffic on the interstate as i make my way to the airport. His flight should be here in about 20 minutes. I finally arrive at the airport about 15 minutes later and look to see if his flight had landed. It said landed so I walked close to baggage claim. I sat down on a bench thinking about Josh and what Ashley had said to me."You will find someone who will want to put your pieces back together". Was Josh that someone? 

My thoughts were pushed aside as a large group of people started to walk in my direction. I looked for Josh but he was no where to be found among these people. I sat back down and looked in the same direction that the people came from and just waited. Suddenly, I heard a deep, soothing voice behind me.

"Who you waiting for Madeline?" There is only one person who still calls me by my full name. 

JOSH'S POINT OF VIEW

I could barely sleep last night. I was too excited to finally see Madeline tomorrow. To see her smiling that beautiful smile and her gorgeous eyes looking at me. God I can't wait. I "woke up" and took a shower. I let the hot water and steam pour over my body as I thought of what I would say when I saw her. I can't help but think of why she won't open up to me. I can't describe our connection; it's so strong and has been since the moment we first spoke to each other. I've never had this sort of connection with anyone before and I don't know where it's going, but i'm along for the ride. Maybe one of her sisters will give me a little insight to what happened to Madeline. 

I jumped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. I walked into my room and got dressed in some dark jeans and a white t-shirt. I started to pack a bag with clothes and toiletries. I lounged around the house until it was time to go to the airport. I grabbed my leather jacket, sunglasses and hat and jumped in the car. 

Once I was on the plane, I texted Madeline. 3 hours. Just 3 more hours till I see her. 3 hours till that beautiful smile. 3 hours till I look into those beautiful blue eyes. 3 hours until I hold her in my arms. just 3 short hours.

We finally made it to Texas and landed. I don't know why but I'm kind of nervous. Like an excited nervous though. I walked off the plane and grabbed my bag from the overhead storage thing and walked off the plane. I walked around for a bit until I saw her. She looked stunning. In just jeans and a beautiful colorful top. Her blonde hair was curled and flowed over her shoulders. She was just sitting staring in the other direction as if she were waiting for something to come running around the corner. I walked up close behind her, stopped then said 

""Who you waiting for Madeline?" She turned around quickly and threw her arms around my neck. I took in her wonderful scent and dropped my bag and wrapped my arms around her. I couldn't help but smile. I could feel her relax in my hug. She was texting me the other day saying how overwhelming everything is getting. She's been so stressed out lately and needs to relax. She pulled away too soon and smiled and looked at me with her big blue eyes, and that was it. I've fallen.

NORMAL POINT OF VIEW

I knew it was Josh as soon as I heard him talk. I turned around and threw my arms around his neck. I can't believe he is here. I've been so stressed out these past few days with school and everything is just getting so overwhelming! I know Josh being here is exactly what I need at a time like this! I can't help but smile as I hear him drop his bag and envelop me with his large muscular arms. I feel so safe and relaxed like this. It just feels....different. I can't describe it. The way I feel with him, is just indescribable, I feel safe, warm, happy, important... needed. Not to mention, he wears the most AMAZING smelling cologne! ;)
