Sweet As Knight

"Kelly?"

So I have everything packed ready to go to join Jon on the tour. My anxiety is riding high but I'm trying to just focus on my excitement for seeing Jon again. I really hope he will be happy to see me as well. I can't wait to see Katie's reaction as well but more Jon's than anyone else's.
The taxi drops me off outside the airport terminal, I'll never tell him but I'll be forever thankful to Jordan for organising all of this for me, purely because I don't want to inflate his already big ego. He's sorted everything out from the taxi, to which terminal, to boarding passes and luggage tickets and so on. I wouldn't have a clue what to do with regard to booking flights etc as I don't travel much due to my anxiety issues.

I thank the taxi driver and make my way inside. I'm greeted by a member of the airport staff who introduces themselves to me and leads the way to the correct boarding gate area. I see Katie before she sees me and I gesture to Catherine to not let on that I'm here although I can tell she's pretty shocked to see me. I sneak up so that I'm standing just out of Katie's view and go "boo!". I watch as she startles in her wheelchair. She begins to laugh "oh my god, Kelly!! Where did you come from?!" I hug her back and awkwardly hug Catherine as well. "Well here I am to surprise you and a certain other person when we get there." She grins at me. "I'm certain he's going to be really ecstatic. I can't wait to see his face when he sees you. I also can't wait to tell Jordan who's joining us!" I go to sit down for a moment before we have to board the plane.
My eyes widen at how fancy it is in this first class cabin and we all have our own individual seats. When I think about how Jordan was more than happy to pay for all of our flights, makes me think about how much the guys actually earn from being in the band. It's a scary thought being with someone who has that much money. "Good morning Miss, would you like a pre-flight drink?" Ooh this is definitely fancy indeed. "May I have a Coca Cola, please?" I ask. She disappears and is soon back by my side opening a can of the pop. Here is the menu for what is available during this flight. I'll pop back to take your order." I thank her and let myself get all comfortable.

A few hours later when the cabin crew brings my meal which is surf and turf. From the first bite, I don't think I've had anything so delicious and I end up eating all of it. "I'm so glad that you're here with us. I'm excited to tell Jordan but I can't imagine how incredible it will be for Jon. I know he's missed you like crazy." Katie tells me from her seat which is to the right side of me, by the window. Catherine and Katie's auntie are in the row in front of us. If only Katie knew that Jordan actually organised this for me which makes me smirking. "Why are you smirking Kelly?" She giggles, and I raise my brow at her. "If you want to thank anyone for me being here right now then I'd point you in the direction of your boyfriend. Wait, he is your boyfriend now is he?" Her face at this news, wow Jordan really did keep to his word. At least now I know for definite that Jon is also going to be very surprised. "Jordan already knows that you're here and you're on your way?!? And yes, he is. We haven't made it official with anyone else yet but I have a feeling that everyone will probably know by the end of this tour. What about you and Jon?" I nod with a smug smile. "Yep, he does. He offered before I even said anything. Me and Jon haven't really talked in much depth lately so whether he still wants to be with me is anyone's guess. I love him though and I want to be with him, I hope this by me being here now is proving my feelings towards him are." She sighs. "Kelly, between me and you, from what Jordan has told me. Jon has been miserable on tour so far despite putting on a front. I know he regrets how he dealt with the issues with you before he left and he just doesn't know how to rectify things properly." We continue chatting and each sit back in our own thoughts. I nap a little bit and I think she did too.
Before we know it, the captain is speaking over the tannoy. It's time for the flight to descent at the destination. My stomach is in knots. So many different emotions running through my head.

As soon as we're in the arrivals lounge, we're greeted by the airport staff. They take us to grab our luggage from the baggage claim desk and lead us to where the entrances are. I hear Katie squealing in delight when she says that she can see Jordan waiting ahead of us. Her face says it all. She's too cute for her own good! I look to see if I can see Jon but my heart sinks when I can't locate him. Jordan runs to her and they embrace in each other with lots of hugs and kisses. I stand back to give them space. When they finally part to breathe, Jordan walks towards me with his arms open to hug me. "My brother is going to be shocked but so happy when he sees you. Hope you're okay, Kelly?" I nod. "Where is he?" He smiles, "he's with the others. Cos he doesn't know about you, he didn't think to come with me. So let us take you to him." He reassures me. Once in the bus, I hear Katie say to Jordan. "I have a bone to pick with you." I turn just in time to see him frown. He then leans to whisper something to her. "Trust you, we can deal with that later! You kept it hidden from me that a certain someone who is watching us right now was surprising me." He laughs. "Thought it'd be nice for you to have a surprise." He sits forward... "You into voyeurism? Then you can watch us as much as you please seeing as you're watching us."

He smirks. My face turns red. "Eww get out of my face, you pig." He laughs. "I'm only kidding, Kelly. I was just playing on Katie's words." Katie pulls a face at him. "Stop it, you'll be making her regret coming." She says, teasingly. "Thanks for putting that image of my brother in my head, babe." He pouts. I see the playful glint in his eyes. I shake my head and roll my eyes.
"Here we are ladies!" Jordan climbs out first. Then he lifts Katie out and puts her in her wheelchair. Catherine and her mum climb out next. I take a deep breath and follow suit. I walk behind them all. We see Donnie first and he goes to hug us all. He leads us to where the rest of the guys are. From standing behind everyone else, I spot Jon. His eyes are focused on Jordan and Katie. I watch as they exchange hugs. I observe Jon's body language. Katie's words from during the flight ring true by the sadness in his eyes. "I think you've forgotten to say hello to someone, bro?!" Jordan states softly to Jon. Slowly everyone steps to the side slightly. I take a few steps forward.

His eyes widen as they roam my face and body, as if he doesn't believe I'm actually here. "Kelly?" I nod and send him a little smile. "Hi Jon." Then he runs to me and wraps his arms around my body, holding me close to him. "Oh my god, you're actually here. Feels like I'm dreaming, baby." I chuckle. "I'm definitely real and here. Thank your annoyingly yet sweet brother there for me being here." He squeezes me tighter almost to the point of not being able to breathe.
