I Never Planned On You

42- Another Op'nin', Another Show

soooo i totally planned on writing what was happening while Ben was in New York, but time got away from me... so! i will be writing some long distance stuff after the next 1-2 chapters :-)

p.s. im gonna start having the chapter names be broadway songs!

Two months. It has been almost two months since the last time I saw my Ben. Luckily, I now only have to wait a matter of hours before we're reunited, even if it's only for a few days. I get comfortable and settle in for my flight, slowly dozing off to sleep.

"Ma'am?" I hear in a far away voice. I take my earbuds out from my ears.

"I'm sorry, what?" I ask, groggily looking at the flight attendant.

"We will be landing momentarily. You will need to buckle your seatbelt." She said in a monotone, yet very peppy, voice.

"Oh, thank you." I half smile back, pulling the belt across my lap and latching it in.

Minutes later, the plane lands and people try to scurry off the plane. I reach up to the overhead bin and grab my duffle bag, slinging it over my shoulder before making my way to the door.

I eventually make it into the airport, clutching my complementary water bottle. My eyes search for Ben in the crowd of people, before they land on my dirty blonde, blue eyed, freak. I squeal to myself and run as fast as my short little legs will let me.

"Ben!" I exclaim, nearly knocking him to the ground.

"I missed you so much!" Ben said, putting his arms around my waist. He pressed kiss to the top of my head, shifting his weight to steady himself.
"I can't believe you're really here."

"Me neither." I laughed, pulling away to look up at him.  "I missed you." I whispered as I took in his appearance.

"I love you, Air Conditioning."

"Air Conditioning?" I laugh.

"Yeah! Your initials are A.C. which also means air conditioning."

"You're so weird." I say, finally going in for the kiss as butterflies broke out in my stomach, like they do every time we kiss.

"Dang, what did you pack?" Ben asks, taking my bag from me.

"I've been known to be a heavy packer in the past." I laugh.

"Is this your room?" He asks as we approach 273.

"Yeah." I reply. Ben had originally offered for me to stay at his place, but since Josh was in town for two weeks, I figured it would be rude to take his room.

I open the door and Ben sets my bag on one of the beds.

"I'm so tired." I say, going face first on to the same bed. "I'm ready for bed."

"Oh, come on! We're only together for less than a week and you're going to sleep through it? Typical Andrea." Ben teased, poking my cheek.

"But I just flew from California to New York!" I complained.

"Let's do something fun!"
