I'm waiting in the airport and I'm pratically bouncing off the walls with nervousness. Celenas' flight was coming in any minute now. I thought about asking a guy at the desk when, but I already asked him 5 times in the last 30 minutes. I hear the lady on the speaker say that a plane number has just landed. I pull out a crumpled up piece of paper with Celena's flight number on it and feel my stomach drop. This was it. This was her flight. I rush over to the waiting area and hold the sign I made up. It said "my soul mate" and had a bunch of cupcakes that i drew on it. I watch the people from the plane go to luggage claim. My eyes fall on to red hair and my heart does a backflip. It was her. She picks up two bags and starts walking in my direction and we lock eyes. I put on the biggest smile I possibly can and she starts walking towards me. Then she drops her bags and runs into my already open arms. I hold her tigh and lift her off the ground and spin. I have to blink back tears and I choke out a shaky "H-hey l-love". I feel wetness on my neck and my heart flutters. She was crying too.Celena nuzzles deeper into which was probably the tightest hug in her life and whispers. "hi honey bear". My breathing starts getting shaky and I kiss the top of her head "let's get you home cupcake". I place her back on the ground and she starts to pick up her bags. "I got it sweetie" i bend down and drape the two backs over my shoulder. Celena smiles and pokes my side "babes so strong!". I can feel my face burning and I just mumble out a quiet "no". We make our way to my truck and I put her bags in the back and turn and see her struggling to get into the seat. I giggle and pick her up a few inches by her waist.
"that better hun?" She blushes and nods and i close her door and get into my side and start driving. She fell asleep by the time we got to my apartment and she wakes up as we pull into the parking lot. I give her a smile and twirl a strand of her hair around my finger.
"nice sleep?" She blushes and smiles back
"the best!" I get her bags, put the keys in my mouth and try to unlock the door. Celena walks over and grabs them and rolls her eyes. I blush and watch her start walking up the steps.
"3rd floor babe!" I call up, she doesnt answer cause she already a floor above me. By the time I reach the third floor shes waiting by the stairs and smiling.
"slowpoke" she giggles.
"Hey I had to carry your bags." I bumb my hip into hers playfully and walk over to the door shift so that both bags are under one arm. I reach out and take the keys but our fingers touch. We both blush and i unlock the door and open it with my foot. I step inside and place her bags down by the kitchen table. She follows me in and looks around. I blush. It was pretty big for am apartment but still...
"I know it's not much...but it's home." she smiles and slides her hands around my arms
"it's perfect" She looks up and frowns. "babe its hot outside why do you have a beanie on?" I turn to her and get nervous.
"alright don't freak out but..."
"but?" Celena ask as she looks up at the beanie. she realized she can see any of my hair.
"I...i dyed it" She gets a huge smile and bounces up and down.
"Let me see!Let me see! Let me see!" She tries to pull it off but i take a step back. "I d-dont know if you'll like it, i gotta haircut too..." This gets her even more excited
"WHAT COLOR!!!" she basically squeals. I sigh and pull off the beanie to reveal bright purple hair all swooping to the side
"lilac."
I close my eyes as Celena lets out a high-pitched scream and starts running her hands through my hair.
"BABE I LOVE IT!" I blush and smile nervously, she really is just too cute. I pull her hands down and stare into her eyes. She stares back and smiles.
"what?" Celena asks. I keep staring and shake my head.
"Your eyes are galaxies" She giggles and bluses.
"Babe no"
I take her hand and lead her into the bedroom. She smiled when she see how its decorated. I put a dozen little cupcakes i bought all around the room and a bunch of red and black streamers are hanging on the wall. I smile nervously and spread my arms out.
"Welcome home!" She whispers a quiet 'i love you' and rushes into my arms, crying her eyes out.
