lover boy

part twelve

two weeks. it sounds bad when you say it like that but when you think about it it's only fourteen days. but then when you really think about it it's 336 hours. it's 20,160 minutes. it's 1,209,600 seconds. it's a long time when you think about it like that. i'm sticking to the fourteen days thought. we didn't talk to each other all of my life. 180 months. 782 weeks. 5478 days. so really, it's not that bad. two weeks.

i pack his suitcase with him. my legs underneath me while i told t shirts and sweaters.

"we're going to a hotel before we go to the airport, it's going to let us know when to leave." he looks at me.

"okay! should i take a cab back to my house?" i ask him. he gives me a funny look.

"did you want to come say bye to me at the airport?"

"of course i did! i wasnt sure!" i laugh, still packing clothes for him.

thirty minutes of us just packing and his mom calls him downstairs. "i'll be right back!" he's looking down at me because he's standing up. i nod. the door shuts behind him and i look at the suitcase we just packed. i fiddle with the necklace on my neck. i release the clasp and i stuff the necklace into one of his pant pockets in the suitcase. i zip up the suitcase and stand it up. he walks back in while i'm still sitting on the floor. he reaches his hand out. "we're leaving." we're holding hands on the way out.

he opens the cab door for me and his mom. i find it sweet that he does that. his moms sitting in the passenger side seat and we're both sitting in the back. hes holding my hand and looks at me. he's smiling. "what?" i laugh. "oh nothing!" he laughs too. on the entire way there were still holding hands.

i've never had a boyfriend. like ever so the little things like this is so big for me.

we arrive at the hotel. it's huge! there's a big lobby room an 'L' shaped sofa aline's the walls. his mom gets in and we go to the hotel room. the walls are yellowish but it might've been the lighting and the floors are dark red with designs on them. the rooms is nice. it's a paper yellow and there's a big bed in the middle of the room. me and nick have been pretty quiet the entire time. we're holding hands still.

his mom leaves the room to go do something so me and nick start talking.

"what will you be doing to keep yourself occupied?" he asks.

"i will be...." truth is, is that i'll be doing nothing. my parent aren't here and my other family members are in florida. i'll be sitting at home by myself for two entire weeks. "painting." i say.

"painting?!" he sounded shocked.

"yeah! i paint!" i laugh.

"anyone who is on flight number 3079, please come to the lobby. anyone who is on flight number 3079, please come to the lobby."

nick stands up, grabbing his and his moms things. he has a sad look on his face. "let's go." he nods his head towards the door. his mom is still out doing something.

we walk halfway downstairs when he stops. i pulls me in for a huge hug. my heads resting on his shoulder. he squeezes me tightly. we stand there hugging for a bit. he lets me go and we go downstairs. he waves bye to me once we reach the lobby. i sit down on the 'L' shaped sofa, waiting for my cab.

fifteen minutes pass and i'm still waiting there. it's snowing.

"flight number 3079 has been delayed, flight number 3079 has been delayed." i see nick coming back in the lobby. he sits down next to
me.

"that was such a fast trip!!" i sarcastically say. he smiles and lifts my leg to go over his. his arm around me.

we talk for a while and then the receptionist calls out his flight number. "it's time to go!" i try to happily say. his eyes say that hes sad but hes smiling. "bye." he exhales. i hug him and he gives me a kiss on the cheek. "i'll see you in two weeks!" he walks out of the hotel and waves bye. it's sad to see him go but it'll be nice for him and his mom.

the cab is here for me and i get the ride home. all the lights other than my room are off. i put whatever stuff i had in nicks room onto my floor. i open the fridge, nothing. i turn on the two to get myself some water. luckily my parents have been paying the bills while they've been gone. i take a sip and i lay down back on my bed.

i rest my headphones over my ears and i just leave them there. i don't have anything playing in them but the silence is comforting. i take them off and the only thing i hear is my breathing and my fan clanking. nick texts me even though it's only been an hour since he left.

nick: we're about to take off :))
millie: yay!! i miss u xx
nick: i miss you more!! ❤️
millie: 💋

*nicks phone has been silenced*

i sigh. although we've only been together for a few months, we haven't left each other's sides so him being gone is tough. i'll see him soon enough. fourteen days.
