"Alright, have everything?", Fleur asks me by the door of my apartment a couple of days later.

"I think so. Certainly feels like I packed everything I brought and more.", I say as I reminisce the struggle of shutting my big suitcase.

"I noticed.", she begins as she takes a quick glance at the dent in the luggage, "Anyway, you have to get going, your car is here."

I nod and look back at my home away from home one last time. Even though it is stunning and exciting, it sure is out of my comfort zone and I prefer the snug house in London.

Fleur also says her goodbyes to me since she will be staying in New York for two more weeks, to make sure everything is running smoothly and takes me to the car that will take me to the airport.

"Would you like a drink, madame?", the airhostess asks me when she scans the aisle.

I quickly shake my head and thank her before returning to one of my favourite books.

Just when I am about to finish reading the last few pages, I receive a text from my boyfriend.

Luckily, there is wifi on the aeroplane:

Dan: Good morning babe, how are the last couple of days?

I chuckle as I type a reply. Dan doesn't know I am coming back today.

The rest of the flight goes quite smoothly and many hours later, I arrive in London with a taxi already waiting outside to bring me home, where I arrive one and a half hours later.

As quietly as I can, I put in the keys and enter the flat before taking off my shoes and resting my luggage against the door.

I go past the kitchen, the lounge and along the hallway, but there is no sign of Dan anywhere. Continuing to wander around, I wonder where he could be. But my wondering doesn't last long after I hear a quiet humming from our bedroom.

Smiling, I open the door just to see his back turned to me as he makes his bed.

"Love?", I ask.

"Holy fucking shi-", Dan exclaims as he does a little jump in fright.

He turns around to me and immediately brushes off his fear: "Babe! Oh my god."

Dan rushes over to me and before I can say anything, his lips press against mine as we stand there in the middle of the room.

I still can't contain my laughter, so moments later I separate from the kiss: "Hello gorgeous."

"I- wha- why are you here? It looks like a mess everywhere. I'm so sorry. I've missed you.", he rambles.

"It's okay, love. Everything is fine. I wanted to surprise you."

His smile grows and the little jump that follows certainly isn't out of fear: "I'm so happy you're back, you wouldn't believed me.", he says and kisses me again.

"Looks like someone missed making out.", I joke.

"Don't even get me started on that. How was your flight?"

"Fine, I slept mostly so I'm not tired now."

"So you're saying you have some extra energy to spare?"

"Dan, what is that supposed to mean?"

I don't get a proper response, all he does is grab me by the waist and push me down onto our bed.
