Landing In London {Dreams & Bleachers Sequel}

Touching Down in Denver

To remind everyone, photos of the people I based Harley, Jade, NJ, & Ryder off of are in the sidebar/info :D 

Harley's POV

The wheels set down on the runway of the airport. I looked out the window, seeing the lights of Denver sparkling like jewels. We landed at night, mostly because I prefer flying when the sun is down. The world is so much more beautiful when it's sleeping.

Jade and I exchanged solum looks, then stood up, feeling relieved to stretch our legs after sitting for two hours. We've been on worse flights, but it never gets better.

The four of us were all tired, and ready to get to our hotel. As we walked through the terminal, to baggage claim, a little girl kept staring at us. I blew it off, thinking she was just a bad mannered kid. Then, the mother walked over, stopping me.

"Excuse me, ma'am." She said. "My daughter just adores you. Would you mind, taking a picture with her."

As much as I wanted to say no, and just keep going, I didn't. Fans are fans, no matter where I have to run into them, or what time it is. Plus, this little girl was precious! She reminded me of my own daughter, who I had left behind for the trip.

Carolyn is twelve now, and she's starting to grow into her own. She looks like me, except for her eyes. They're a gorgeous shade of blue, like Seamus'. Jade said the blue eyes always skip a generation in his family.

June is all grown up now. She's off at college, and Ella, is still a daddy's girl. When she was Carolyn's age, Jade told her the truth about being her father. Honestly, I think it made them closer. She's sixteen now, and a spitting image of Jade.

We're still the only one with kids, though Ryder and NJ are considering adopting. They still are on the fence, but every time they're around Carolyn, it reminds them how amazing it would be. It's a wonder that they did stay together this long without sleeping together.

That's right, I'm not kidding. Since the day NJ found out he was HIV Positive, he refuses to risk giving it to the love of his life. Somehow, they still have a healthy relationship.

After we were done getting our luggage, we happily got to the hotel, and crashed in our rooms.

I had to reply to a million emails first, and unpack. Jade hopped in the shower, leaving me to nothing but the entertainment of the TV. He only takes five minute showers, such a man.

Jade walked out of the bathroom, with no shirt, just his jeans. God, he knows that look drives me crazy. If I wasn't so tired, I'd totally make moves on him.

He crashed in the bed next to me, groaning, "Maybe we should blow off everyone, and just stay here, cuddling."

I laughed, snuggling into his chest. "I don't think they'd be very happy with us."

"Yeah, it would be awkward if we ever ran into them." He chuckled. "Let's get some sleep."

"Let's." I responded, flicking off the light.
