My Saving Grace

Goodbye?

JOHNS POV

"Wake up sleepy head.." I heard as I slowly came into consciousness. As I became more aware of everything I realized someone was sitting on my waist. Katy.

"5 more minutes." I groaned covering my face with my pillow but that didn't convince her.

"John, your flight leaves in 2 hours you need to get up baby." She said removing the pillow from my face. I opened my eyes to see that she was already dressed with her hair and makeup done ready for the day.

"So today's the day huh...." I whispered placing my hands on her hips. This is killing me. I don't want to leave her, I need her.

I watched as her smile turned into a frown and she bent down to kiss me. "Yeah... i guess so." She shrugged weakly creating patterns on my bare chest with her index finger.

Before she knew it I had flipped us over so that I was hovering over her and kissed her passionately. "I'm going to miss you so much. You're the most important thing in my life." I whispered stroking her cheek.

A smile crept onto her face and she had to bite her lip to contain her happiness. "Where have you been all my life..." she whispered as she tangled her fingers in my hair with her left hand while her right hand was on my back.

Instead of answering her I just continued to kiss her. "Last night was perfect baby, I can't believe I have to say goodbye now.. " I mumbled against her lips feeling her hot breath on mine.

"You really need to get dressed." She giggled pushing me off of her and heading towards the bathroom to finish getting ready I presume.

I lazily got out of bed and threw my boxers back on and made my way to the bathroom as well.

"You know.. I could just not go and we could start round 3.." I smirked wrapping my arms around her waist from behind and sticking my thumbs in the waistband of her shorts and attempted to slide them down.

"babe stop go get ready." She laughed turning around to peck my lips. "I know you don't want to go but you need to."

"fine.." I groaned and turned around to go finish packing and getting ready.
.........

The ride to the airport was horrendous. Each passing second that went by meant that I was that much closer to losing her. I reached over for her hand and held it as I drove and she looked over at me giving me a small smile. She hasn't said much since we left the house.. I know she's upset but these are our last few minutes together.

"we're here.." I said softly opening the door and hopping out to get my bags before my manager came over and took them from me.

We walked inside to towards the gate. I still had about 20 minutes and wanted to spend as much time with her as I could. I had a firm grip on her hand as I lead her through the airport until we reached where I would be taking off. I looked over and saw the rest of my team waiting for me a few feet away.

"come here.." I whispered taking her over to a less populated area. Once we stopped I grabbed her cheek and kissed her as best I could. It was probably one of the most passionate ones yet and I didn't care who was watching.

I pulled away breathless and placed my forehead against hers. "just 4 weeks and we'll see each other again. You better be standing in this exact spot waiting for me, you promise?"

She nodded. "I promise." she smiled wrapping her arms around my neck, our foreheads still touching.

"I fucking love you." I said repeating what she had said to me a few nights ago. She giggled before leaning in for another kiss.

"And I fucking love you." she laughed closing her eyes. I held her tightly and squeezed my eyes shut as I heard them announce for us to board the plane.

"I guess that's me..." I said turning away not bearing to look at her saddened facial expression anymore.

"Wait!" she said excitedly pulling my arm back to her.

"What? baby I need to go-"

"I'm coming with you." She smiled pulling her ticket out of her back pocket waving it around.

"What?" I yelled out happily picking her up and spinning her around kissing every inch of her face.

"How, when, why?" I asked exasperated.

"I convinced them to let me off for two weeks so then we only have to say goodbye for two weeks and I'll be with you for now." She smiled lighting up my world.

Right then the rest of my team walked over and interrupted us. "Alright John we need to go. tell your girl bye." One of them said waving me over.

"Actually, she's coming with me." I said linking our hands together. I saw some of them give me disapproving looks but cut them off before they could say anything.

"if anyone has a problem with that you can just leave now." I stated feeling her face hide in the back of my shirt as she scrunched it in her hands.

No one said anything, they just walked away. They didn't even seem excited that she was coming? No one even spoke to her.

"ready?" I asked as we boarded the plane. "yes.." she nodded as we took our seats.

"what I thought was going to be the worst day is actually the best day." I smiled wrapping her up in my arms.

"are you sure you're okay with me coming?" she asked in a small voice looking up at me. She looked so fragile and small and I hated that.

"Of course, katy I always want you with me, why would you ask that?"

"never mind." she said and a smile returned to her face as we took off
