Hostage

Chapter 35 - "I don't want you to turn into what I was.. a monster."

The sound of voices colliding together into one lingered into the Airport as Zoey stood in the center, with her arms furled along her chest. She was gnawing on her lip, anxiously waiting for Jason to appear at any given moment. She was very excited to see him again, it felt like forever. She could feel her heart throbbing against her chest after every second that passed. Jason had no clue Zoey was going to be there waiting for him, which he probably wouldn't mind seeing her. He missed her just as much as she missed him.

People with suit cases and phones up to their ear walked passed Zoey, not even taking the time to notice she was there. She was so tiny, and many people took advantage of that. They would shove right pass her if she wasn't even there, which many people honestly don't give two shits nowadays, they will just knock you flat on your ass and keep walking without a care.

Zoey fished out her phone and looked at the time, it was twelve in the day, and she knew Jason would be here any minute. She thought of ways in her head on how to approach him. Maybe she could just run into his arms, and he would spin her around in circles and place her back onto her feet with a kiss. Her cheeks flushed a red color at the thought of it all. Numerous amount of ways crossed her mind, but only one stuck.

Zoey heaved a sigh and roamed her eyes around the airport looking for Jason, he wasn't that hard to spot out of all of those other people. Zoey's phone vibrated into her hand, she pressed the green button to answer the call.

"Jase? Where are you?" Zoey asked in a high pitch tone. Jason heaved a ragged breath. "Zoe, my flight got delayed so I will have to stay here for maybe a couple more hours." Zoey pouted at Jason's words. "What? No, that can't be, I have been waiting for you at the airport for maybe almost three hours." Zoey exaggerated. "Well, I'll be there soon, I promise."

Zoey rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What are you doing now?" Zoey asked in a low tone. "I'm staring at the back of some gorgeous girl's head... she has very long hair, a sexy figure..." Zoey knitted her eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

"Turn around." Zoey spun around, making her hair twirl as she spun. Zoey's mouth dropped open. Jason was standing a couple of feet away from her. He had his luggage in one hand. He hung up the phone call, and curved a slight smile onto his lips at Zoey's reaction.

Zoey ran into Jason's arms, and buried her face into his neck, inhaling his scent that she missed so very much. Jason dropped his bags and wrapped his arms around Zoey's tiny body. Jason placed his lips ontop of her head, and pecked the top, letting his lips linger. Jason took in the glow of euphoria that was gleaming from her smile. "I missed you so much." Zoey was standing on her tippy toes, trying her best to reach his cheek, so she could give it a gentle peck.

Jason lifted Zoey up off of her feet and spun her around in circles, just like she imagined. "I missed you too." Jason brushed his lips onto hers, moving them in sync. "But that is what I missed the most... your voice, smile, your lips." Jason could go on and on all day about every detail that he missed.

"It felt like forever... please never leave again, or if you do, take me with you... Dani was a pain in the ass." Jason laughed at her words. He knew exactly how she felt, and he could only imagine what she had to go through when he wasn't at home. Jason laced his fingers with Zoey's, swinging their arms back and forth as they walked into the sunlight.

Jason's car was parked in the front, along with his keys. He was more than ready to drive home. Jason opened the door to the car and got in, slamming it behind him. Zoey did the same. As she was putting her seat belt on, Jason turned the key in the ignition causing the car to come alive.

"How did you get here?" Jason asked sliding the seat belt across his chest and securing it with a click. Zoey got comfortable and moved her hair to the side of her shoulder. "I took a cab. I walked to the city, which only took me five minutes." Jason raised his eyebrows, and drove the car out of the airport lot. "I'm surprised you even walked with you're lazy ass." Zoey rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Shut up, I sure as hell didn't miss your smart ass mouth." Zoey remarked, placing her feet onto the dash.
