No Letting Go [Completed]

Sixty

{Colin's POV}

We pull up to the airport and load up the planes. Not too juiced about this long ass plane ride but I'll probably sleep through most of it.

I get settled in my seat and throw my headphones on. During the flight I do some scrolling on Instagram just to see if Aaliyah posted anything or not and she did. A picture of her and the kids.

"We hate when you have to leave us, but we know you have to. Can't wait to see you later this week❤️"

"I'm doing it all for y'all. Already missing you three💔" I reply.

"@kaepernick7 we're missing you more baby."

I screen shot the picture and post it to mine.

"Who I do it all for. My family. They're all that matters."

I scroll through some more and peep who's pictures she's been liking...some of her friends and a couple of dudes. I do some snoopin on their pages to see who they are. Looks like a bunch of scrubs to me.

After this long, 10 almost 11 hour flight, we finally land. And with the time change and all it's around 6 am.

We get to the hotel and I just throw my bag on the floor and flop on the bed. I go ahead and call Aaliyah to see what she's doing.

"Heeeyyy baby." She says as she picks up.

"Hey babe....finally made it."

"How was the flight?"

"Long and uncomfortable. I thought I'd get some real sleep, but I kept waking up. Y'all will be flying first because I refuse to let y'all be that uncomfortable."

"Aww well get some rest baby, and call me later...I don't even care if it's at 3am because I know we're dealing with a fucked up time zone situation."

"Yeah, it sucks. Ry and Nate sleep?"

"Yeah, they went down a little while ago. But you should get some sleep. I can hear how sleepy you are."

"Okay...hold on."

"What?"

"Who are the niggas in them picture you be liking on Instagram?"

"Seriously Colin."

"I'm dead serious Aaliyah."

"Like you don't be liking female's pictures."

"Girl, you're the only female whose pictures that I like."

"Colin, I don't even know any of them."

"Exactly, meaning you like to look at the niggas. I got a better body than any of em. I'm the only one you need to be lookin at."

"None of their pictures I liked were of them shirtless."

"I don't care."

"You're being childish...but I'll stop."

"Good. That shit's disrespectful."

"Okay, I said I won't do it anymore. You really need some sleep."

"What you trynna say."

"Nothing. I said what I said. You need sleep because you're tired. Call me later."

"Okay."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Goodnight."

"Goodnight...well more like good morning." We both share a laugh.

"Bye."

"Bye." We both hang up and I check the text messages that have been sitting in my inbox since this morning.

Unknown: Hey stranger, heard you were in London. Gotta link up!

I take a moment to think. Erin. I go ahead and save her number.

Me: Listen. That sounds good and all but we both know we can't.

Aaliyah can't stand this girl. If she ever found out I was near her, she'd get suspicious and would probably try to kill me.

Erin: Nothing like that. Just to hangout, and maybe show you around a little bit.

We do get this day off to either relax and catch up on sleep or to do some sight seeing, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a personal tour guide.

Me: fine...uh I'm gonna get some rest because we just got here and when I wake up, and get situated, I'll hit you up.

After I finish texting her I toss my phone to the side and immediately fall asleep.
