Chapter Twenty Five

When I wake up I see Dirk has packed a bag and set it by his door. He's only packed one, because he's not going to be with me the whole time. I'm definitely going to miss him. I smell something cooking and decide to get up and investigate. Dirk isn't a bad cook, but he doesn't really enjoy it. I actually like making food, and especially for him. I rub my eyes as I enter the kitchen. "Good morning Dirk." I yawn at the end of my sentence and Dirk smiles at me.

"Good morning sleepy head. I made pancakes, bacon, and eggs."

"Yay, I'm starving." Dirk sets a plate down on the table it I sit behind it and start eating. Dirk joins me a few seconds after with his own plate. "Mmm, it's good Dirk."

"Good. We're leaving soon, you know."

"Oh really? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Dirk shrugs.

"I wanted you to sleep well."

"Thank you for letting me get my beauty sleep." Dirk smiles softly and glances at the oven clock.

"Are you all packed?"

"Yup everything's just in my bedroom. I see that you packed too."

"Well I am going with you for a few days." Dirk lets out a sigh and pushes his food around on his plate.

"Your not hungry?"

"Not really."

"Why not?" Dirk shrugs.

"I guess I'm kind of nervous."

"About what?"

"Flying I think."

"Well I'm not nervous, and I've never been flying either. Your not afraid of heights right?" Dirk shakes his head no. "Then why are you nervous?" Dirk shrugs and eats some of his food. He seems a little distant. It's probably because I'm going to be gone soon. I set my plate in the sink and drape myself over Dirk's back with my arms over his shoulders wrapped loosely around his neck. "I'm going to miss you too." I kiss his cheek and he doesn't respond. I lean a little more forward so I can see his face a little better. His eyes are closed and he's frowning. "Dirk?"

"I really don't want to let you go."

"It's only for a month, I'll call you every night."

"I'm worried your not going to come back."

"Why wouldn't I come back?"

"I don't know. Maybe you found someone better than me, or maybe you have so much fun making movies you don't want to come back. Maybe someone wants to hire you to do their movie and you keep pushing back dates to come back, or maybe-"

"Dirk, I love you. I swear to you I'll come back." I tighten my arms around him and he leans back into my hug.

"I love you too." He turns his face to look at me and kisses me. "You better come back." I pull away from him and head to my room to get dressed. When I am, I carry my bags to the front door and see Dirk cleaning up the kitchen mess he made.

"I'll grab your bag too, ok?" Dirk nods and I head into his room to grab his bag. I end up going to his closet and grabbing a few shirts of his too. I bring his bag and the stolen shirts to the front door. I shove the shirts into my bag without Dirk noticing. I'll surprise him with a face time call and see what he says. "When do we leave?"

"We could go now if you want. It's always good to be early to the airports."

"Ok." Dirk dries of his hands and leans against the counter facing me. I notice both his arms and legs cross as he watches me. "What are you thinking about?"
