Come Back...Be Here ⭐️

8 - One Thing After Another

I arrived in LA and the airport was worse than a cattle round up. People were frantic and rushing around. I just wanted to get to baggage claim and get to Scott.

He told me he would be there to pick me up and I got excited knowing I would get to see him right away. I made it to baggage claim, as I waited for my bag I pulled out my cellphone.

Kacie: I'm here waiting for my bag.

Scott: Okay sounds good, I'll see you soon.

I wondered why he wouldn't come in and see me but I knew he had to be outside in his car just waiting.

I just stood there waiting when I heard a buzzer go off indicating bags were coming out. Everyone started grabbing and I just waited, I didn't see my bag at all, I started to get worried. My bag with all my clothes...where was my bag.

I waited until the last bag came around the belt and it wasn't mine. I didn't know what to do. I looked around, I looked to see what to do when I saw a working standing there.

"Excuse me?"

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"My bag didn't come through, what do I do?" I asked.

"You need to go fill out a form over with lost luggage." He said and I nodded heading over to wait in line.

Kacie: So they lost my luggage, I have to fill out the form. I need your address so if they find it they can bring it to me.

Scott sent me all the info I would need and I got up to the counter and filled out the form. It took forever and I just wanted to get to Scott, he was all I wanted right now since so far my LA trip was not turning out well.

Scott: You almost done?

Kacie: On my way out now.

I walked out of the exit and started looking for Scott. I didn't see him anywhere. I saw someone holding a sigh and I read the name. I groaned and walked up to him.

"I'm Kacie Everhart." I pointed to his sign.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Everhart. Mr. Eastwood sent me to collect you." He said and I just half nodded as I got into the backseat of the town car.

As we drove through LA I was taking in the view from the backseat. I really wasn't in Texas anymore.

I was trying to keep in the anger inside of me to a minimum. Scott didn't even come to get me from the airport. He left it up to a driver to come and pick me up. He couldn't even be bothered, he left me in LAX airport at the mercy of a driver.

We drove up into the hills and I sighed as we entered a gated community. Soon we were parking and the driver opened my door for me.

"We're here." He said and I smiled as I grabbed my carry-on bag and headed to the front door of the house. I rang the doorbell and waited, and waited, and waited some more. I saw the car pulling out of the driveway and I was worried.

Scott: I will be home in 5 minutes. I had an errand to run.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me." I said and sat down on the front stoop of his house. I just rested my elbow in my knee and then my chin in my hand. This was not how I saw this trip starting off.

I sat there and just waited for Scott to get home. I finally saw Scott pull in his driveway and he got a huge smile on his face seeing me.

"Hey! Sorry I thought I would be back before you got here." Scott said getting out of his car and getting bags from the back.

"Well my surprise when you didn't pick me up at the airport." I said and he sighed.

"I thought about it, I really did but I didn't want to take a chance of someone seeing me picking you up." Scott said.

"Right because picking up your real girlfriend would be the worst thing ever." I sarcastically replied as he got to the front door.

"Please don't do this Kacie, I really thought about it all night." Scott said and I just sighed. He unlocked the door and we walked into the house as he walked to the kitchen I marveled at how nice his house was. Scott came back in a few minutes later and just saw me walking around looking at things in his living room.

"Your place is nice." I said and he smiled at me. I then saw a picture of him and I up on his mantle. It was from when we were originally together. I smiled seeing it and looked at Scott.

"Really?" I asked and he smiled walked up to me.

"I always kept it up Kacie. I missed you." Scott said and I smiled turned to face home and he wrapped his arms around my waist and mine went around his neck. "I have you in LA." He whispered leaning in.

"You do, what are you going to show me first?" I asked. His lips touched mine and he passionately kissed me .

"I think the bedroom..." Scott said and I smiled.

"Because those are so uncommon..." I said sarcastically.

"Of course they are..." Scott said as he moved his hands down and lifted me, I wrapped my legs around his waist. We made out the entire way to his bedroom.

I knew I should still be mad and I knew he had fucked up from the minute I got to LA but right now in his arms, him taking me to his bed, all that washed away.
