The eyes, Chico, they never lie.

CHAPTER 21: The Elevator

Ash's POV:

As I reached the airport, there was a big crowd of media and other people. I don't know what was happening there nor did I want to. I took my seat and put on headphones.

"Ash?"

As I stepped out of the plane and walked towards the exit,  someone's voice appeared behind me. It wasn't someone, I knew who it was.
It's my Pearlie!

I turned around and soon I was engulfed in a hug. She hugged me tightly not wanting to let go of me, her eyes teary which made my shirt wet but that didn't matter. I hugged her back and caressed her hair.

After sometime, she broke the hug and looked at me "I missed you so much, Ash! Where have you been all these years? Didn't you miss me?" She said when those tears fell down her cheeks.

I cupped her face and rubbed the tears with the tip of my thumb, "I missed you more Princess. I always wanted to see you but you were the one who hated me."

She stopped crying as I completed my sentence "That doesn't matter. You don't know how I lived these years without you."

"I know sweetheart, it was a tough time. But see? I'm back! And I won't leave you alone like I did. Never." I opened my arms in the air and she again hugged me.

We stayed like this for few minutes until a familiar voice came from behind us, "are you guys done making love?"

We broke the hug and cleared our throats, her face had turned crimson by now.

She's so cute.

"Shut up!" She said and intertwined with my fingers and starting walking towards the exit of the airport.

I kept looking at her while we sat inside the cab, the way her eyes were shining mesmerized me. I didn't want to look away from her. Seeing her after 5 fucking years made me realise how much I missed her. Say it, 5 years of torture!

I heard a female voice beside me "Excuse me  sir? We have landed USA. Please wake up!"

I snapped open my eyes!
And suddenly it hit me with realisation.

"What the actual fuck?!! Was i dreaming all of this?" I murmured, running the fingers through my hair.

"Sorry sir?" She hostess asked.

"No-nothing!" I said getting up from my seat and stepped out of the plane.

I wish it wasn't a dream. I had a big smile on my face all my way to the exit of the airport.
"I've arrived at the USA airport. Where are y'all? I can't see any of you." I say as soon Alex picks up the call. 

"Behind you!" Is all he said.

I turned around and my mouth remained wide open. My eyes stuck at that person who was equally shocked like me. A soft smile appeared on my face after sometime but she showed no emotions towards me and  rather turned her face in other direction. 

I stood rooted on my place until they came and joggled me. "Heyy bro? How was your journey?" Matt hugged me.

"It-it was good." My eyes still stuck at her. I don't want to look away from her, not even for a second. I am meeting My Princess after so many years and this time I won't let her go even if she wants to. I'll do anything for her forgiveness, you'll have to forgive me Pearlie.

"Cab has arrived, shall we go?" Kat said.

Everyone nodded and we started walking towards the car.
Princess and I were walking behind them but she didn't even looked at me this whole time.
"Hi Pearlie!" I say in a low voice.
She paused for a moment and stared at me and started walking with  higher pace and then held Kat's hand.
