Zoe and Yohan landed in LA the next day and the nerves hit Yohan all at once. Drew had promised to pick them up from the airport and Yohan could tell Zoe was feeling probably about as anxious as Yohan was.
Drew saw them first and she took one glance at her wife to make sure she was still in one piece before running straight to Yohan and smacking her on the arm hard. Then she proceeded to pull her into a bone crushing hug.
"Don't you ever, ever leave like that again! Do you understand?" She said pulling back, looking into Yohan's eyes. Drew was already teary eyed.
Yohan pulled her blonde best friend back into a hug.
"I'm sorry Drew." Hugging her tightly. She really had missed her.
"We're not done here," the blonde glared at Yohan, pulling back. Letting her know that Yohan wasn't out of trouble yet.
Drew finally turned to look at her wife with a frown on her face. Zoe looked back at her apprehensively, not daring to say anything. She just shifted from foot to foot with an apologetic look on her face.
"Yah! Zoe! You lied to me!" The blonde said menacingly. "Then I find out you never called me because you got wasted with my best friend!"
She stepped forward as she yelled and Zoe almost took a step back as she watched the angry blonde stalk towards her.
Yohan suddenly found the airport signs very interesting and slowly walked away to read them. Zoe sent her a death glare. That snitch.
"I'm so sorry baby. Don't be mad, I-I —thought it was for the best. Lying to you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life." Zoe was begging her wife, not daring to come any closer.
"I only drank because I didn't know how to keep it up. How to keep lying to you. I didn't mean to ignore your calls." She pleaded. "I didn't mean to worry you and not call you at all."
Drew wanted to stay mad but as soon as she had spotted her wife relief had flooded her. It was one thing being mad at Zoe and ignoring her over the phone but it was quite another to deny the way her body craved for her once she was right in front of her. She couldn't help but run into Zoe's arms and kiss her hard as she cried.
"How dare you lie to me," she said between sniffles and kisses. "Didn't you trust me?"
"That wasn't it baby. Don't ever think that."
Zoe hugged her wife even closer. Relieved that she wasn't giving her the cold shoulder anymore but upset she had made her cry.
"Don't you ever do that again."
"I know, I know, I won't. I'm so sorry darling. I thought I was protecting you." Zoe said sincerely.
"You not talking to me or not being honest with me will never be a form of protecting me, don't you get it."
Zoe hugged her harder. Kissing her full on the mouth now. So much so that they were pretty much making out in the middle of the airport.
Yohan cleared her throat. People were starting to stare at them.
"She um, she just got back from the war." Yohan said to an elderly couple who was openly gaping at her friends' shameless make out session. The answer seemed to satisfy them because they started shuffling away.
The two girls finally pulled away from each other several long moments later, staring into each other's eyes. Not minding that they gave half the airport a free show.
"You're making it up to me tonight," Drew had whispered to Zoe under her breath suggestively, to which Zoe nodded frantically as her wife dragged her away.
