Worlds Apart

Chapter 29

Today is our last day in London, we done almost everything here except for a couple of places. We get home, pack our things, go ahead and leave them down stairs. I look at the clock. "What time is it?" Nixon asks quietly because Callie is asleep. "10:00, why?" I ask. "We should get some sleep, we've gotta leave at four." He says. We already have our pajamas on. I fix the sheets, Nixon takes his shirt off because he complains about how hot he gets at night  then climes into bed. I kick my slippers off and snuggle up next to him. He wraps his arms around me and holds me close just as he dose every night now. Sleeping next to someone is still strange to me. I relax and drift off to sleep. I feel something gently shaking me. I open my eyes slightly and groan. "Come on love, we have to go soon." Nixon quietly whispers to me his breath hot against my cold face. I open my eyes all the way to find Nixon already dressed and standing in front of me. "How are you already up, dressed and so cheerful this early in the morning?" I ask. He chuckles. "I don't know I've always been this way, now come on up and at em." He says. I get up and grab the clothes I laid out yesterday. "I'll wait for you down stair and make you some coffee." He says. "Is your grandmother up yet?" I ask. "No, she's never up this early." He says. I shew him out the door, close it and change, then I go into the kitchen and meet Nixon at the table who is writing a note. "Your coffee is by the pot i'll be done in a couple of minutes." He says. "What are ya writing?" I ask. "Writing a note to Callie, I'm gonna leave it by her night stand." He says. "Ok." I finish my coffee, wash my cup and stand next to Nixon. He looks at the clock on the wall. "We should get going." I follow behind him as he quietly slips into Callie's room and puts the note on her night stand, he kisses her forehead then I hear Callie. "Are you leaving?" She asks. "Yes, but we'll be back one day I promise." He says. "Thanks for visiting me, love you." She says. "I love you too, now get some rest and call us when you get up ok." He says. He stands and leaves. We go out the door and take an old bus to the air port. We have a nice and steady ride home and when we finally get back to our house it's already eight o' clock. We unpack, then call Bexley and Callie to tell the we go home ok. Then we see the horses and wait for Bexley to bring Quill back over to us. I greet Bexley and Quill at the door. I quiet Quill because Nixon is asleep. Bexley leaves, I carry Quill up stairs put him in his bed that is next to the night stand. I crawl into bed next to Nixon. He groans slightly and opens his eyes. "Hey Kate, is Quill here?" He asks quietly. I brush a piece of hair from his eyes. "Yes, now try to sleep." He smiles and goes back to sleep.  When I get up and get dressed I find Nixon down stairs asleep sitting up with Quill in his lap. I sit next to them. Nixon wakes. "I didn't mean to wake you." I say. "No.No I was just resting my eyes." He says.
