Wednesday

"Honestly, it's fine," you reassured him for the seemingly hundredth time.

Daniel's suitcase was at the door beside yours except the planes you were leaving from in Nice were going in two very different directions.

"It's not fine," he muttered as he checked his Passport was in his back pocket before pulling you into his arms. "I was looking forward to seeing your family again. They're going to be mine soon too."

You smiled at the reminder and brushed your thumb over the engagement ring. "You'll see them at Christmas."

"Not everyone," he pointed out. The Christmas get together was going to have both of your immediate family members, with his flying out from Australia. "I want to talk to your cousins."

"What? Why?" You pulled back to see the mischievous look in his eyes and the smile that promised he was up to something.

"Cousins always tell the truth," he chuckled. "And I want to know what you were really like as a kid."

"I was a little angel."

His hands roamed over your body to settle on your ass and he pulled you flush against him as he teased, "What happened?"

You giggled as you rose on your tiptoes and grazed your nose along his throat before resting your lips on his jaw as you teased him right back, "I fell for a man with a wicked tongue."

You could see the darkening in his eyes and his lips parted with a filthy suggestion on the tip of his tongue but the blaring of an alarm from his jeans drew a groan out instead. "I'm going to have blue balls for the flight now."

"You should probably take care of that."

"It's a 30 minute drive to the airport, Kitten, you could take care of it along the way."

It was a strange feeling returning to the town you had grown up in. The streets remained the same, trees lining the curb and kids playing in the front yards, but the faces were all unrecognisable. Like you, most of the people you knew had fled as soon as they finished high school, searching for something bigger than what this place could offer.

Nearly every parking space on the street was taken by your extended family but your dad had saved one for you near the house with the recycling bin. It was a good thing too because Daniel had kind of spoiled you as he walked you to your boarding gate. He hadn't been able to resist dragging you into the duty free shops in the terminal and now the extra baggage was missing the pair of hands that carried it for you. You had told him it was too much but he just kissed you until you forgot about arguing. It wasn't fair, you could never win an argument when he cheated like that.

You got the feeling everyone had been waiting for you because the moment your car door closed they all filed out of the house to come and help with your luggage.

"There's the city-slicker, welcome home," Vanessa greeted with a kiss on your cheek before pouting as she saw the empty front seat. "Damn, thought you were bringing the sugar daddy with you."

"Don't call him that, he's not my sugar daddy," you warned with a roll of your eyes but your cousin clearly wasn't paying attention. "Daniel is with the Red Bull guys in Japan for some big event. He wishes he could come but they called in everyone: Scotty, Liam, Mad Mike, they all had to be there too. "

Your dad took the suitcase from your hand and nodded understandingly. "That's a shame, but at least my little girl has finally come home."

Your bedroom hadn't changed all that much since you left to go to university and you could see the pin pricks and faded lines in the wallpaper outlining where your posters used to be.
