Skinny Love (DISCONTINUED)

Home to Mama.

*Miley's POV*

    The plane ride wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Probably because I spend most of the entire time sleeping or looking out at the tiny window that was right next to me, giving me an excuse to avoid Justin's eyes.

    There were some awkward moments where our hands would accidentally touch, or I would feel Justin's hand brush up against mine ever so slightly. There was also a moment where Justin had fallen asleep, and I caught myself staring at him in his deep slumber. Not in a creepy way, obviously - it was more like I was admiring his features. I would do this sometimes once we started dating. There were numerous random occasions where he was either doing something as simple as doing his homework, or cleaning his bedroom. What can I say? He's an interesting person to stare at. Especially when he's sleeping. I noticed that he would sometimes do this thing where his eyebrows would furrow together as if he were deep in thought, or his bottom lip would poke out every so often - and please don't get me started on his cheeks. I just wanted to pinch them because they were just so cute and rosy.

    It was like he just wanted me to kiss him, and I almost wanted to if it wasn't for the little bit of common sense that I have in the back of my head that tells me I shouldn't want to kiss him. Like there was a little angel inside my mind that told me what not to do, and then there was a little devil on the other side that made me want to ignore the consequences and kiss him, kiss him all over.

     I was glad when the plane finally landed and we were in Stratford.

    After we exited the plane and got all of our belongings, we walked out of the airport to wait for Justin's mother to pick us up. Justin sat on one of the empty benches right next to the entrance with all of our stuff right next to him. He had his arm leaning on one of my bags and he kept rubbing his eyes. He looked like he wanted to go to sleep right there, and he probably would if it wasn't for me.

    "Hey...Get up."    I lightly nudged his shoulder with my hand. "You slept a lot on the plane ride here, I can't believe you're still tired."

    Justin yawned, stretching his arms over his head. "What can I say? Plane rides just make me sleepy." He looked at me with a lazy grin, causing me to send a chuckle back at his way. Before I could respond, we were both alerted by the sound of a car honking. I turned my head around and saw a car pulling up towards the front of the airport.

We then watched at Justin's mother exited the car. She still managed to look exactly the same, even after all of the years that passed without me seeing her.

Justin immediately perked up at the sight of his mother, almost as if he wasn't tired just a few seconds ago. His eyes lit up a bit at the sight of her, his face almost resembling how he would look whenever he heard her soothing voice after a long day, or whenever he had those days where he shut the entire world down. His mother always manages to keep him happy, even when he feels like the world is crushing underneath him. There has only one time that even her motherly powers were no match for his emotions, and that was when he found out that he didn't get accepted into his top school. He spent hours trying to figure out what he did wrong, and I felt selfish  for bragging about getting into my top pick when he didn't.

So when I saw him run up go her and give her a tender embrace, all I could do was smile. I almost didn't want to go up to her in fear that I would end up ruining the beautiful mother-son bond that was currently taking place. She was so much tinier compared to him, so seeing him wrap his tattooed arms around her body was just too adorable to interrupt.
