More Than I Should-A Haila Love Story (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6. He Comes Home

The next day...

The doorbell rings. I get up from the couch and jog to the door. I open it to reveal Kate and Alex.

"Hey, guys!" I greet them with hugs.

"Hey, honey. He's coming home today!" Kate says, hugging me back.

I nod. "I know! I'm excited!" I smile as we pull away. I hug Alex next.

A few hours go by and Alex and I are on the couch talking about random stuff. She's in the kitchen fixing coffee for her and Alex.

I sigh. I bounce in my seat. "Come on, Hunter." I say, my words sounding weird as I bounce.

Kate laughs. "He's on his way home. It's not like he's on tour."

I look at her wide eyed. "I don't know how I'll be able to do that!"

Alex chuckles. "You miss him, huh?"

I nod. "Yeah. A lot. But he'll be home in a few minutes, so that's exciting!" I smile a bit. I don't know how I've survived this. I miss him. Just then, I hear my phone ringing. Without looking at the caller ID, I answer. "Hello?"

"Hey, beautiful."

I gasp.

"Hunter!" I put him on speaker.

He laughs. Oh, how I've missed that laugh!

"Hey, Hunter!"

"Hey, Kate!"

"Hunter, what's up?"

"Sup, Alex! Nothing much man! Babe?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you even look at the caller ID?"

"No..."

He giggles. "You're adorable. So what's up?"

"Not much. How was the other side of Nashville?"

"Interesting."

"How?"

"Well, I've been working with Dann, as you know. It's coming out amazing! I'm so excited to finish it up! But other than that, not much. I miss you!"

"I miss you, too."

The doorbell rings. She hands Alex his coffee, sets hers down on the table and walks over to the door. She opens it. "Jaila, come here!"

I leave my phone on the table, and get up from the couch. I stand up, turn around, and see him standing there with a big smile on his face. I gasp and smile huge. "Hunter!"

He hangs up, sticking his phone in his back pocket. "Hey, babe!"

I run around the couch and the end table and run up to him, jumping into his arms. "Finally, you're home."

He catches me, running his fingers through my hair, spinning me around.

I wrap my legs around his waist, my fingers raking through his blond hair.

"Hey, bunny." He whispers in my ear. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you, too." I whisper.

He stops spinning me and puts me down. The world spins for a few seconds. He smiles and rests his forehead against mine, before kissing me.

I smile in the kiss.

He caresses my cheeks. He then pulls away. "I'm so happy to be home... For now." He mumbles.

We kiss again.
