Love Finds a Way

Chapter 20: The Moment of Truth

Hayley's pov:

The whole flight I couldn't wrap my mind on the idea of Adam and Dan being face to face. Thinking of multiple scenarios they all ended the same.

"You okay?" I snap back to reality and out of my trance coming face to a confused Dan. Maybe I should tell him just plain and simple. Just blurt it out. No don't just slide it into the conversation. No that's worse!

"Yeah, just forgot what flying does to me." I give a small awkward laugh. I'm in deep shìt.

We got our bags and headed to the parking lot looking around for the rental car I told Nikki to send. "You weren't kidding when you said it is sunny." Phil covers the left side of his face from the sun and gives a grin.

"Hayz how are we goin' home?" My hand gets grabbed and taken into her small hand as we continue walking around the parking lot.

"I got Nikki to get a car for us to get home in." I gave Jess a toothy grin as I looked around for our rental car.

"Look there it is!" I pointed to a family van on the corner.

"Hayz it's like the one we took to Mickey!"

It's so cute how anything that triggers a memory in Bailey's mind makes her so happy. I wish I had good memories, but I don't all I have are bad ones.

"True but the other van was much smaller." It was way to small for a family of five to fit into.

"Oh yeah." She let go of my hand and ran to the right side of the van waiting for the door to open.

I took the keys out of my pocket and pressed the button making the doors on both sides slide open. I open the back and begin to place all the different bags inside. I take Phil's, then Jess and Dan's but there wasn't any more room left for Baileys or mine.

"This is what Tetris has prepared me for." I laugh as I see Dan rearrange the bags and fit all of them in the back.

"Let's go." I close the back and start to walk towards the driver's side but get pulled back.

"Come on just me one small peck. Right here. I've been good these whole two weeks." He points to his lips and his lips turn into a small smirk.

It's true he has been more than good, he's been nearly perfect. He probably went a bit crazy since I haven't spent a lot of time with him these past two weeks. I feel guilty but at the same time I did warn him he wasn't going to be seeing much of me.

"I know you have but remember they're in the car and we'll have some 'us' time in a bit okay? I promise." I leave a small peck on his cheek and push him towards the passenger side. I hear a small 'fine' come from him and see him get inside.

"Hayz I'm 'ungry." I start the car and take the time to fix my mirror view. I look back and see Phil on the window seat rolling down the window, Jess playing with her dolls, and Bailey trying out the new effect Phil taught her.

"We can stop by and get some food. Sound good?" I get a 'yes' answer from everyone and start to back up out of the parking lot.

"Hayz how much more 'till we get home? I'm still hugry." I look at clock on the radio. We've been in the car for only an hour.

"The maximum is 3 hours with this traffic and there's an In and Out on the next exit. We've been stuck in this car for a while I know bub. My legs hurt too." And they have been, I thought it wouldn't be that bad but I was completely wrong.
