Run Away With Me

15

I stood in front of the hotel door and hesitated going in. I wasn't prepared to see Blake, I did miss him, but I wasn't sure of how he would react to seeing me. He had called me the whole time I was back at home but I didn't answer, I just wasn't ready to talk to him. I didn't know what to say then, and I don't know what to say now. I exhaled as I grabbed the key and swiped the card. I slowly opened the door and walked in to see Blake sitting on the bed. His turned as he heard the door close. I stood there with my bags in my hands as he stood and slowly walked towards me. "Hey." I whispered. "Hey." He whispered." "I'm back." I stated. He chuckled, "I see that." I set my bags down and walked towards him and we embraced each other. "I missed you." I said. "I missed you too." He hugged me tighter and I smiled as his scent entered my nostrils. We separated and I looked up at his smiling face. "Listen I think we should talk." I saw his smile fall from his face. "Okay... Did you wanna stay here or go out?" He asked. "Let's just stay here." I said. I walked to the bed and sat down as he sat across from me. 

"I wanted to say that I was sorry. I tried calling but you never answered. What I did and what I said was wrong. I felt like I pushed you away, and seeing you go really hurt. these few days have been really dull. You didn't have to come back, but you did, and thank you." he just stared at me and I smiled at him. "I accept your apology, but I think you need an explanation of everything." I took a deep sigh and got comfortable. "I am starting to think over everything. I don't think what we are doing is right. We aren't doing anything with our lives and I want to feel as if I mean something to someone." "well you mean something to me." He said. "Yeah but I mean in other contexts. I want to go to school, get a job, start a family. That's my plan." "Or is that your mom's plan for for?" He asked. "It's a good plan. Listen the point is, all of this between is just seems so unreal. It's really amazing life, waking up and being catered. Being with you is something I really love because I genuinely love you. It's so crazy! I always imagined meting the love of my life at work or something, or maybe at school. I don't know. but then I met you and everything changed and my thoughts were changing and my world was shifting. Then I got back down to reality an realized I don't want this." "Well what do you want? I told you I can give you everything you ever wanted. I will give you all you need." He said. "I think I want to go to school. I want a job and I want a family." I stated. "And you can get all of that, I can help you." "But thats the thing. I don't want your help. I want to do this on my own. Other eighteen year olds are starting college and here I am in a relationship with a guy I met three months ago, living in the nicest hotel ever, and our life is basically made. My friends back home are trying to find the best bed set for their dorms, I'm here try to figure out where else we can spend a crap load of money. This isn't normal." I stated. "Well what are you trying to say? Are you leaving me?" He asked. I could tell he was sad, the look in his eyes told me to stay, I knew he didn't want to me to leave him, and honestly I don't want to either. I still really love him and I can't imagine my life without him. I grabbed his hands in mine and looked into his eyes, "I will never leave you. I love you so much, I just want you to know that this is how I feel. We need to communicate and understand our wants and wishes." I said. He smile at me and leaned in for a kiss. "I love you." I said. "I love you too. I just want you to know that you can tell me anything, and if you ever have a problem please let me know. I will fix it. And for that job you want, I can ask my dad to give you something. We would just have to move to New York." He suggested with a grin spread across his face. I really wasn't expecting to work for his dad, but it is a job, and a good start for my future, so I guess it won't hurt. "Yeah, that would be great!" "Awesome! I'll call him right now!" he got up themed and ran to his phone. I just laid down and smiled as I saw him speaking  with excitement.

The next morning came around and Blake got a phone call from his father, the spoke on the balcony outside and and he back in with a smile on his face. "Looks like I'm with a working woman now." He tossed his phone on the bed and my eyes grew wide. "What?!" I exclaimed. "You got the job!" "Oh my gosh! This is insane! What do I do? I need to go get new clothes, like work clothes. Do I need a resume? Well I haven't worked? I don't know what to do? Help!" I said in one breath. "Hey hey hey! Calm down!" Blake asked towards me pulled me closer to him. "Listen, we can go get  you clothes. We are going to New York first thing in the morning so right now we can pack up go have one last good dinner and come here and sleep. Everything is gonna be okay. You will start work on Monday so that gives us a good enough time to get a place and get settled. I promise, everything is going to be okay." I smiled at him and held onto his hands. he bent down and kissed me. "Okay, let's get moving!" We started cleaning up the place and packed up everything else that was laying around the room.
