10 | why the hella not

The plane was landing and I might have felt a little flustered and excited and just... happy.

I wasn't going to pretend that this wasn't affecting me anymore. I was done with that; too much of my time has already been wasted with regretting things, being angry at things, and I just wanted to be happy again. Looking back, there were so many opportunities I missed and chances I let passed because I didn't want to make the first move and look at where it got me: almost a whole decade wasted.

It's been more than half a year since Ella's departure and finally, after months of long distance calls, empty pillow talks, and just - just... general longing for something more; I wanted everything. I wasn't going to wait around this time around because really, this was inevitable and if she showed a bit of reluctance, let's be honest here: who could resist me?

Ella obviously couldn't.

She didn't have it in her to say no to me because well, this face was pretty much made for breaking hearts.

She'd come around soon enough.

And if you asked me, I bet that she was already halfway in love with me again. If our nightly messages and calls were anything to go by, I wouldn't put it past her to be over thinking our relationship. But even though I enjoyed it when she was squirmish and struggling to control her emotions towards me, I had the rest of my life for that. Right now, I just wanted her and there was nothing stopping me.

Not our past; not her ex boyfriend; not any misunderstandings- no. I was too old for this and I just wanted to be with her in spite of all the crap we went through.

So when she was lugging her luggages out of the terminal and towards us, hugging everyone, you couldn't have blamed me when she stepped towards me for my hug, I took a step that was much too close, held her face with my hands and pulled her into a kiss.

There was a whistle and gagging noises (from Emily) but that didn't matter because god, I missed Ella so fucking much.

She was tense but at least she didn't push me away and then proceeded to call me some colourful names. But as much as I enjoyed kissing Ella, her being unresponsive was not really ideal. Reluctantly, I pulled away from her only to see her eyes wide and her cheeks blushing red, and well, at least I hadn't lost my touch. Try her best to look angry but we both knew she liked it.

"That's one way to say hi," she whispered when someone coughed and she'd immediately took a step back. Her cheeks were flushed and she looked embarrassed and confused but she was grinning at me and she was so beautiful.

"How 'bout we keep the PDA out of the P because there are children- specifically your children- here." When I thought Emily would be done being an annoying pain in the ass, she shows me just how much of a huge annoying, pain in the ass she was.

So I ignored her because what else could I do when my little sister was being a huge pain?

But when Piper had gasped like the most scandalous thing had just happened... well, I took a step back but not without keeping my hands around Ella's shoulders and assessed the damages of my actions. Both Piper and Audrey looked like they've just seen something they didn't want to see at all, which wasn't a surprise but Ella might scold me for that later. Emily just looked amused as fuck, grinning and everything but honestly, the biggest damage was the possibly scarring scene our children had seen. Nothing that couldn't be fixed.

"Let's grab some dinner?" I asked, placing a small kiss on Ella's forehead before taking their luggages and making my way towards the exit. The girls followed and it was silent until Emily began asking Audrey questions about the flight and if she was excited to start school next week. Piper soon joined their conversation, her hand letting go of my hand to link with Audrey's.
