I got off the plane and my phone went off instantly with a text.

HENRY: I planned on coming to get you but filming is running over. I have sent a set assistant. Her name is Layla and she will bring you right to set. Can't wait to see you. 😉

I just put my phone in my pocket. I had to be honest 3 days ago when Henry told me of this trip I was against it and I fought with myself up until I was boarding the plane about coming. I knew I needed to talk to Henry and see him. I knew he said he missed me and I knew he said he wanted to see me. I figured we could talk and if things still didn't work out I could go home and forget this foolish trip and the amazing man I once held in my arms ever existed. I saw someone standing there near the back of the people who had gathered and she was looking at her phone and all the women who passed her. I walked over to her and gave her a small smile.

"Are you Layla?" I asked and she nodded and looked at the picture on her phone then up at me.

"I am, you are Destiny. It's so great to meet you. Mister Cavill has been so excited for your arrival." Layla said as we walked away from the gate.

"Has he told a lot of people I'm coming?" I asked and she half nodded.

"Just a few. People he works closely with him on the show and a few set runners like me." Layla said and I nodded.

We walked in silence and I was getting so nervous to get to set. After everything was finished at the airport we walked out and got in the waiting car. The back door was opened for me and I couldn't help my hopes to think Henry was going to surprise me and be in the back of the car. He wasn't and I sighed. Layla got in the front and my bags were loaded in the back.

"Henry would like it if you could at least text him now that we are in the car." Layla said and I smiled and pulled my phone out.

DEZI: I'm in the car, on my way to you. You ready to see me?

I was nervous about his answer. Why? I don't know, I kept reminding myself that he asked for this, he wanted me here. He called for this trip and paid for it, why was I nervous and acting this way? Maybe because I last time I saw him face to face I was crying and he was yelling for me to go. I was surprised when I felt my phone vibrate again.

HENRY: When you get here Layla will take your bags to my trailer. I will have someone come and get you and bring you to set. I'm so excited to see you.

DEZI: I don't want to disrupt filming.

HENRY: You won't. You going to jump into my arms when you see me?

DEZI: You want me jump in your arms?

HENRY: I just want to hold you, so yes.

I blushed at the text message.

DEZI: Well I guess you'll just have to wait and see...

I put my phone away and now just waiting to get to set.

Once we arrived to set I got out of the back of the car and Layla smiled at me seeing someone waiting for us.

"Did Mister Cavill tell you the plan?"

"Yeah. You are taking my bags to his trailer and I'm guessing that guy is waiting to make me to set?" I asked and she nodded.

"Kevin, this is Destiny, Mister Cavill's special guest." She said and I groaned.

"Guys, I'm not a special guest, just Destiny." I said and they smiled as I shook Kevin's hand.

"Well he is waiting for you on set." Kevin said and I smiled at him as we started walking. I was looking around at the castle and gardens I was walking up to and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Kevin took a turn and we started to head towards a head garden and I just followed. He stopped at the entrance way.

"He is through there." Kevin said and I looked at him oddly but then walked through the hedge opening and soon saw a fountain and a path around it, everyone was on the other side. I saw some people standing around in periodic clothing, some normal clothing for crew members. I looked at everyone in periodic clothing, knowing that's what Henry would be in. I saw the actor who played King Henry see me and then he hit someone's arm and he turned so I could see it was Henry. I just smiled while biting my bottom lip out of nervousness. I gave a small wave.

Henry pushed the papers he was holding into his co-stars chest and came rushing towards me. We didn't say anything as I rushed to him as well. Once I reached him I jumped into his arms and he sighed while holding me.

"God, I was hoping you were going to jump." Henry whispered. I didn't want to let go. Henry placed my feet on the ground but I kept my arms around his neck and played with the hair near his neck.

"Hi." I said while still biting my lip. Henry took a hand from my hip where it was resting and ran his thumb across my bottom lip.

"Why are you nervous?" Henry asked sensing my tell.

"Because...I don't know...I mean we fought, you yelled at me and told me to go..." I trailed off. Henry sighed putting his hand back on my hip and pulling me flush against him and placing his forehead on mine.

"And I was an idiot." Henry whispered and I relaxed in his hold. He sighed. "Dezi, I need to kiss you..." Henry said and I smiled at him.

"What's stopping you?" I asked and he smiled at me. He placed a hand on my cheek and leaned down and gently pressed his lips to mine. I moaned in the kiss, I missed feeling his lips on mine. We broke apart laughing when we heard cast and crew making tons of noises towards us. Henry just rolled his eyes. I then released my hold on him and took in his appearance in his outfit.

"This is much better than facetime." I said and Henry laughed as took my hand.

"Ready to meet some people and see me work?" Henry asked and I nodded.
