It's Just a Crush, it'll Go Away

Come on, have some fun

Will leaves for Paris tonight. I tell him my goodbyes and to enjoy his time away. Though I am going to hate being apart. He smothers me with kisses since he won't be able to do it for a whole week. It's always hard to say goodbye. I wish I could go with him or that he could stay here with me. But he has work to do and who am I to stop him from doing what he loves?

"I'm going to miss you so much," I say for what seems like the one-hundredth time. I can't say it enough.

"Trust me, I'm going to miss you too. I hate not being with you. I'll be thinking of you every single day I'm gone." Will tells me in attempts to make me smile. Knowing that, I am going to feel so lost without him.

I stand by as Will gets into the back of a car. Finally ready to go to the airport. He rolls the window down so that he can wave to me as he drives away. I put on a smile and wave back, blowing him a kiss. He hasn't even been gone five minutes and I already miss him. That's really corny of me, but I can't help it.

Once the car is no longer in sight I return inside the hotel. As I enter I see Detective Lowe carrying his suitcase. Looks like he is leaving the Cortez too. He does have a daughter and wife to go home to.

"How long is your fiancé gone for?" John asks as he sees me coming in through the door.

"He'll be gone for a week." I tell him and he nods.

"Shame. I'm going to miss the guy." Donovan suddenly appears out of nowhere and says sarcastically. Standing by my side. Has he been waiting here the whole time? God knows.

"Well, if there's anything you need, any problems at all. Don't hesitate to contact me." John looks to Donovan then back to me. Letting me know that I can still call him if anything happens.

"I'll keep that in mind." I reach out and shake his hand to thank him for making sure everything is alright here at the hotel.

"I might stop by sometime soon. But until then, I'll see you around. You take care of yourself." John lets go of my hand and smiles.

"Don't worry detective, I'll take care of her." Donovan interrupts our conversation. Putting his arm around my shoulder.

"You're welcome here anytime John." I remind him just before he makes his way out the doors.

Now that John has left I remove Donovan's hand from my shoulder and walk away. He sure is consistent I'll give him that much. Right now I just want to be alone. Knowing that I will be sleeping alone tonight really dampens my mood.

I sit in my suite and open up a bottle of wine. Might as well use this alone time to relax. Forget about everything and just let go. It's not very often I get the chance to do that. I put my feet up on a stool and rest my head against the sofa. Gazing up at the ceiling. My eyes flickering, starting to feel tired. Just as I'm about to drift off into a peaceful slumber there is a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I call out not wanting to get up.

"It's me. Can I come in?" Donovan's voice sounds from the other side of the door. Of course, it is him, who else would it be?

"Yes, you can come in," I answer though I probably shouldn't let him in here. It only takes the wrong person to see him coming and going. But I guess I could use the company.

Donovan shuts the door quietly behind him. He smiles as he helps himself to some of my wine. I watch as he makes his way over to the music player, putting his phone in the docking station. Selecting the music he wants to listen to. Making himself feel at home. It isn't long before he starts dancing around the room. Mouthing the lyrics to the song. He sure isn't holding back, dancing like there is no one watching. I can't help but smile at that.
