My Soldier - Missing Home

48 Hours..

A/N ~~ A very fluffy Chapter since we are all going to be attacked emotionally tomorrow!

~~Friday Afternoon, L.A.~~

Normal POV

Part of me still can't believe that I managed to get all the way from Nepal to L.A within 24 hours, and then being able to surprise Lizzie on Set without anyone telling her was the cherry on top. Seeing her reaction was amazing, and having her jump into my arms without any hesitation was the best feeling in the world. It makes everything worth while. I know it's going to be so hard to say goodbye again but just being able to hold her right now is worth it all. I know she has so many questions to ask but she is still in shock at everything so hopefully once we get back to her place we can sit and talk properly about everything but for now, I just want her by my side. I can't help but have a look around her dressing room as I wait for her to get changed. It's pretty simple, not much going on. As I move to her dressing table, I spot a small framed picture. When I pick it up to have a closer look, I can't contain my smile as I realise it's a picture of us from Newcastle. She's so fucking adorable. I admire the picture for a minute before putting it back and turning as I hear the door click open. My smile only growing as I see her reappear in some simple blue jeans and a loose fitting t-shirt. Then my smile grows even bigger as I realise it's my t-shirt. "Nice t-shirt.." I comment playfully, instantly causing her to blush as she grabs her purse from the table. "Thanks.. Ready to go?" She tries to hide her sudden shyness which just makes me laugh as I nod and turn to grab my bags from the floor. I slip my Burgan over my shoulder and hold my smaller bag in my hand before reaching out my free hand for Lizzie, who quickly latches onto it tightly as she leads us back out the room towards the Car Park.

It doesn't take us long to reach her car so I wait for her to open the boot so I can put my bags in before I turn to walk around to my side but she doesn't let go off my hand. "Lizzie.. You need to let go to get in the car and drive." I say gently with a smile and she huffs before letting go and rushing around to her side. I follow her and climb in the passenger side, buckling myself in as she starts the car. It's strange having her drive us but I love seeing her concentrate on the road. She gets us out onto the busier L.A streets with the many traffic lights, which she takes advantage of as she keeps reaching out for me whenever she can, which just makes my smile grow impossibly bigger. Not even the L.A traffic can wipe away my smile. "I can't believe you set all this up and pulled it off without me finding out." Lizzie finally breaks the small comfortable silence as we are sitting in traffic. "What can I say, I have my contacts." I tease back making her giggle as she looks in my direction. "Did you fly straight here from Nepal?" She questions, finally starting to ask everything she has been thinking about for the past hour or so. "Unfortunately not. I had to fly back to London then straight over here." I explain, making her eyes widen at the information. "Harley! That must have taken you like 20 hours!" She scolds me instantly but I don't care. It was worth it. "22 but who's counting.." I tease playfully which just makes her laugh and shake her head. "Your really something else Soldier." She says through her beaming smile. "I know. But it was worth it to be here with you." I tell her truthfully as I lift her hand to leave a kiss on the back of it before we start to move again. "I'm literally the luckiest girl in the World.." I can't help but feel a little giddy at her words as she concentrates on the road ahead of us..

It doesn't take too much longer until we make it back to her place. She parks up infront of her garage and shuts off the car before we both get out and walk back to the boot. I grab my Burgan as Lizzie grabs my smaller duffle bag to carry inside. She lets us inside and drops my bag on the floor so I follow suit and put my Burgan down with it before I am nearly knocked on my back by Lizzie jumping into my arms. I manage to catch her and stop us from falling just in time as my back hits the wall behind me before I feel her lips crashing into my own. My free hand not holding her lifts to the side of her face as our lips move in perfect rhythm. Every emotion flooding into each other as I feel her legs tighten around my waist, her hands gripping on my neck and jacket, tugging at me as if she can't get close enough. I walk us both blindly over to the sofa without breaking the kiss and sit down with her still wrapped around my waist as I hold her close before feeling her tongue against my bottom lip. I happily part my lips slightly and instantly her tongue invades my mouth without hesitation. After what felt like hours lip locked we finally pull apart panting for air, leaving her forehead resting against mine as my lips quickly pull into a smile as my eyes meet hers. God I've missed those green eyes more than I ever thought I could. Neither of us wanting to move as we laugh lightly at how out of breathe we are before I feel her slowly pull away to look at me, her body settling back in my lap as I hold her around her lower back. I get lost in her galaxy eyes until I realise I really need to freshen up.
