~CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT~

"Are you sure you're going to be alright? I can always come with you-"

Cutting off the sputtering ghoul in front of you with a kiss, you speak up. "Yes, Mountain. I will be fine, I'll even call you every night if you want."

Seeing the small smile that formed on his face caused butterflies to erupt in your stomach. "And every morning." Coming out of your small state, you focus back on his face, now noticing how much calmer he looks than last night. "You'll call me every morning and every night. Or I'll be on the first plane back to you."

Giving him a teasing smirk, you jokingly salute him. "Sir yes, sir."

Pulling you in by your waist, he places a long kiss on your mouth, one that you happily reciprocate. Pulling back out of it yet again, he leans in close so that the corner of his mouth is touching the top of your ear. "I like that, the whole sir thing. The kissing was pretty good too."

Scoffing at him, hitting his chest as you backed away; rolling your eyes in the process. "Shut up would you?"

Seemingly wanting to test his luck and push the limits, he poked back. "Make me then, hm?"

"You want your morning phone calls or not?" Raising an eyebrow in challenge, he backed down fairly quickly. "That's what I thought."

Just as you finished speaking, a voice sounded from the overhead speakers of the airport. "Flight F7 is now boarding. Those with tickets, please approach the check in counter."

Pulling you back towards him, yet again, Mountain placed a gentle kiss on the crown of your head as he hugged you, giving you a soft squeeze before releasing you. "I love you, Ness. I'll be waiting for your calls every night and when I wake up."

Smiling up at him, you placed your hand on his cheek. "And I love you more." Successfully and quickly landing a soft kiss on his lips before he could say anything.

Grabbing your bag that was laying on the floor next to you, you make a fast exit before he can say anything else. Quietly laughing to yourself at how stupid the two of you must look on the outside to others. Someone's grandma might even call the two of you 'love sick puppies'.

Eight Hours later :

After landing and getting your bags, you walk outside to be greeted with one of the Church's drivers. Once you finish helping said driver put your bags in the truck, you enter the empty back seat of the car.

Another Couple Hours Later :

Pulling up to the Church, the car eases into a stop. "I'll get your bags to your room, Miss. The highest Sister wishes to speak with you as soon as possible; the matter is said to be urgent." .

Sending her a small nervous smile, you thank her and go on your way. Pushing open the large double front doors, leaving one open for the driver to enter in after you. You very quickly take notice of the fact that it's silent. There's not a peep about, quite odd.

Making your way to Sister's office, you form your strides to be longer and more structured. Confidence rolling off you in vast waves, or what seemed like confidence at least. Deep down, you were terrified of being sent back for doing something wrong. You can only hope that what Sister has to tell you has nothing to do with you going out on stage, or the fact that you and Mountain are fated to one another.

Upon reaching her door, a pool of dread settled at the bottom of your stomach; causing your heart to pound even more rapidly than it already was. Shaking your hands, you let out a short nervous blow of air from your mouth.
