"Cheer up babe, I'l be home in two days, it won't be too much longer, okay?" 

"Fine, please don't take any longer, I miss you so much, I can't wait to see you soon," I whisper.

'babe, I'll be home before you know it, I promise."

"I hope so. I have to go to work now, I'll talk to you later."

""What time do you get off?" 

"Around three, I'm not working long today." 

"Okay babe, I'll let you go, I love you, see you later."

"I love you also."

He hangs up the phone, and I walk into the shop. I greet everybody who is working at the counter, and head into the back, and grab my apron, and make my way out to the counter, and begin serving coffee.

"Jane, I'm getting a phone call, do you mind if I leave five minutes early?" 

"Yeah, no problem, see you Thursday!" 

"Yeah, you too."

I make my way into the back room, puling my phone out of my pocket, and answering it. 

"Hey babe, is everything alright?" I ask, hanging my apron up. 

"Yeah, I just want to say that the worried look on your face is pretty hilarious," he laughs

"W-what?" 

It finally hits me not two seconds too late that he can see me. My head snaps up to the door, and I see Austin putting his phone back into his pocket with a huge grin on his face. 

Before I know what I am doing, I am running towards Austin as fast as I can, when I finaly reach him after what seems ike forever too long I jump into him wrapping my legs around his waist. Our lips don't take long at all to find each other, 

"I missed you so much, Austin."

"I've missed you so much too, Lindsay." 

I jump down from him, and just keep hugging him. 

And suddenly everything just finally seems okay again.
