Chapter 42

We dropped Maddie off at Nolan's house. Mrs. Phillips didn't mind having her for the weekend, just because there's finally another girl in the house for awhile. We stayed for a bit, eating some delicious breakfast before we head out. When Nolan headed up to his room to get his things, I asked Mrs. Phillips about this date, but all she did was smile and walk away.

That doesn't help..

We are currently on the road to somewhere I don't even know. I remain quiet, knowing that if I open my mouth, all I would ask is about this darn date and I know I've asked too much to my limit. The thing about me is that I tend to ask about something that I don't know constantly. If you take me somewhere and don't tell me where we going, I will annoy you until you tell me. So, that is why I'm keeping my mouth shut, just because I don't want to annoy Nolan with my constant begging and pleading of knowing our date. We've been driving for so long. All we see are cars and buildings pass by as we drive.

"You're quiet." Nolan breaks the silence. I just hum, looking at the window. He puts a hand on my knee, giving it a comforting squeeze.

"Is everything okay, babe?" Looking at him, he gives me quick glance, then put his eyes on the road. I see a look of worry portraying on his face as he drives. Sighing through my nose, I clamp my hand on his.

"Everything's fine. I just didn't want to annoy you with my constant asking." He didn't say anything after that. All he did was lock our fingers together on my lap now. Whenever out hands are intertwined together, I always get this warmth feeling. It's like his hand is radiating heat and warming my entire body, starting from my hands. Looking down at my hands, seeing his, feeling his, it makes all sense of dreaming fade away. Everyday I'm with him, it's like I'm in a endless dream, bound to wake up eventually. But it's real. His touch and warmth is real. Skin on skin. Not a figment of my imagination.

"Why got you to have that smile on your face?" Nolan's amuse and curious tone of voice causes me to come back from my thoughts, now looking at his smiley face. Honestly, Nolan is one handsome looking guy. Maybe, that's why I've fallen for him. But I know that I'm not that shallow. I look for something within. If a good looking guy is not a douche and actually have a heart, then his looks is bonus. And that happens to be Nolan. Yes, he may have hurt me, but it's only because of his feelings. You can honestly call me insane for this, but Nolan does have a heart. He may bullied me, but he never harmed anyone else. He threatens people, but that's just his superiority ego. He just had a bad intentions back then. But he changed. And just him being here with me, holding my hand, taking me to this mysterious date, I would say it's worth it and he's worth it.

"Just the thought of you." He laughs to himself, bringing our hands to his lips and planting a kiss on the back of my hand. We still continue our drive to wherever he's taking us, listening to the radio while we small talk. We pass by a road side, saying "Welcome to Portland."

"Here we are." Nolan makes a turn, entering the parking lot of the airport.

"Why are we at the airport?" Confusedly ask as we get out of his truck, grabbing out stuffs on the way out.

"Because it's going to bring us to our final destination." Nolan smirks, taking my hand with his as walk to the entrance. Once we walk in the airport, we went through the usual airport stuff: security check and luggage claim and etc. But what was unusual is that we didn't go to any of the terminal. Instead, we went out to the planes runway, being escorted by someone of course, and walked over to a jet plane.

"Where taking this?" Astonish at the sight. Nolan stops mid walk, turns to me with a smirky smile on his face.

"Yeah. I know the owner of this jet. Family friend of mine. I asked if we can use it and he accepted. So, let's get on." He shouts through the wind and the sound of the moving planes. I just shake my head out of amazement, then walk towards him, taking his hand with mine. Inside the jet was decked out of cream leather chairs and a somewhat dining table.
