At 6:30 am, the alarm goes off. I groan, as Jey rolls over to turn it off.

Jey turns on the bedside lamp and sits up to stretch. I do the same, except I lay down to stretch.

"You up, Stink?" Jey asks.

"Mhmm." I groan.

Jey smiles and leans over to kiss my cheek.

"Let's go shower and stuff, so we can leave." He whispers and I nod.

I force myself to sit up and slide to the edge of the bed. I stand and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After that's covered, I step into the shower and less than two minutes later, Jey joins me.

We shower for the last time in this beautiful bathroom and I wrap my arms around Jey. Our lips press together, sweetly and Jey's hands roam slowly over my body.

My fingers gently play in Jey's wet curls and I sigh happily.

"I'm gonna miss it here..." I whisper.

Jey smiles and gently kisses my face.

"Me too. But, we can come back again." Jey says.

I shake my head. "Nah.. I've experienced Thailand twice already. I think we should go somewhere new, next time."

Jey smiles. "Then we'll go somewhere. But, I'm excited to be back in our bed."

I smile. "I can't wait to see the beach in our backyard and our son."

Jey sighs and rests his head on my shoulder. After a few minutes of basking in each other, we step out the shower and get dressed.

We make our way to the gate that we'll be leaving from and wait for our plane. I lean my head against Jey's shoulder and he kisses my head.

"You want a snack, before we get on the plane?" I ask and Jey shakes his head.

"I'm good babe. You can get something, though." He says and his phone rings.

I see it's Jimmy and get up to get some Starbucks.

I order a strawberry venti and some doughnuts for Jey and I to share. As I make my way back to him, I realize that Jey is going back on the road again.

Our lives will be going back to normal and I'm excited for it. I smile and sit next to Jey, giving him the doughnuts. He takes them and smiles at me.

I sip my drink and watch the plane schedule. I pout when Jey grabs my hand and drinks from my cup. He licks his lips and continues to listen to whatever Jimmy is saying. When Jey hangs up, I feed him a doughnut.

"So, you have to leave soon?" I ask.

Jey sighs. "Yep. I have to get back to making money, so we can continue to live comfortably."
