Jess p.o.v

(Come Back, Be Here - Taylor Swift)

"I'll call you as soon as I land." Eric promised, kissing me softly.

"I don't want you to go." I told him sadly, my face buried in his chest. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer.

"I don't want to leave you either," he said, tipping my chin up and cradling my face in his hands "but it's only for a week."

"Yeah, this time." I grumbled, pulling away slightly.

"Hey, you know I wish to be here, with you, don't you?" he said, gently holding me facing him.

"Yeah." I sighed.

"Before you know it, I'll be back here with you. Trust me." he smiled, trying to out my mind at rest.

"I do." I smiled back just as his flight was called. He had to go back to Sweden, for meetings about other countries. He stays here for a few weeks at a time now, or I will go over there. It was only 4 months after we had started properly dating, but we both knew how we felt.

"I should be going." he said sadly. I had to choke back the tears, and it didn't help that I could see them in his eyes.

"Eric I-"

"jag älskar dig, Jess." he smiled hugley at me, tears still there.

#You said it in a simple way, 4 AM, the second day.#

We had said those three words only twice, and it excited me everytime. Eric had been teaching me Swedish, and I had been helping him with his english - not a lot, but he wanted to speak it perfectly, and I was only too happy to teach him. Each time he had said it, it had been in Swedish, and I in english.

"Jag älskar dig, Eric." I smiled back hugely at him.

His flight was called again, and with one last kiss and hug, he was walking up to the check in desk. He turned to face me as he entered the boarding gate and blew me a kiss. I waved in return, and he boarded his plane.

#Stumbled through the long goodbye,

One last kiss, then catch your flight.

But in my mind I play it back,

Spinning faster than the plane that took you.#
