Taylor p.o.v

I looked over at the clock I had sitting on my desk. It read 6:45 PM and I felt my heart begin to beat uncontrollably. I've had mixed emotions all day. I didn't know what he was going to think of me, I didn't know what I was going to wear or what I was going to say and it was driving me insane. 

We had been talking since the middle of June and it was now the middle of September. We only ever texted and FaceTimed and now getting to finally see him in person made me excited but completely overwhelmed with anxiety at the same time. 

I picked my phone up from beside me and I looked at the time again and then opened my messages with Charles and looked at the last message I sent him. 

'See you soon babe💜'

That was nearly five hours ago and I had assumed he was asleep for the flight since he was flying first class.

"Taylor let's go, your little boyfriend just landed," Bryce said, walking into my room

"He's not my boyfriend," I reassure him.

Bryce scoffed with a smile, "I'm not stupid Taylor" and walked away.

"What do you mean?! We're not!" I yell. After no response I sigh and get out of my bed, walking into my closet to make a quick outfit change. A salmon-colored t-shirt that said 'cute' in the corner, light blue, high waisted shorts and white hightop converse. I quickly applied chapstick and tied a knot at the bottom of my shirt. I grabbed my phone from my bed and left my room, turning off the light.

I anxiously watched out of the front passenger window as we approached the crowded airport. I continued to check my phone, waiting for Charles or Joey to text me, which in my case is just what happened.

Joey: hey char's phone died and he lost his charger on the plane, but we're going through baggage claim

Taylor: We're just pulling up to the doors

Joey: so... what's going on with you and Charles

Taylor: nothing..we're just friends

Joey: are you sure?

Taylor: Yea, I think so

After replying I felt my phone vibrate, notifying me that I got another text, but I ignored it and got out of the car. All Charles told me was that his gate was C10 and he was supposed to land around seven.

I got to gate C10 and looked around, then remembering that they were at baggage claim so I began to walk there. Bryce following far behind but as of right now all I cared about was finding Charles and Joey. My eyes frantically searched through the people, hoping I'd spot Charles, but so far..no luck. I found some chairs a little ways from the baggage claim and sat down, opening my phone to text Joey. I saw his earlier text, 'make up your mind cause Charles really likes you' and I smiled to myself.
