Proud - Keep You

Chapter 7

Okay... The airport isn’t gonna be easy to find someone, and I knew that when I parked in the airports car park, but when I got into the airport. It seemed as though it had been abandoned. Nearly empty! Probably because it was late at night, but as I glance at my phone the time is now quarter to eight. I only had fifteen minutes to find her.

“Oh my gosh!” I frighten a girl at the help desk, “sorry... I need help and fast! I have someone boarding a plane in fifteen minutes to America... Please... I’m begging you, help me find her... She has my daughter and I can’t let her leave by herself,” I panic and beg the girl behind the desk “Sir I’m sorry-” “Please!” I beg, as I hold strong eye contact, but she looks at me and frowns “okay Sir... I’ll help you, but I don’t know-” Her words are cut off as I no longer pay attention to her, but what has my attention is a little girl and a woman just walking towards a gate to take them to the waiting area to board the plane.

I suddenly run off from the woman behind the desk and quickly catch up to the woman and the little girl. “DADDY,” the little girl turns out to be Ivy, and at the call of me, (Your name) turns around and looks shocked “what the- Aston,” (Your name) tries to work out how I know they are there, while I was hugging Ivy, before I picked her up. “Why are you leaving?” I ask her “because... I and Ivy have had a rough few days and I can’t live at your house... Not with Claire having a go at me every day,” she frowns, as I put Ivy down, but clings to my left leg “please baby... I won’t let her-” “You said that last time, and she caught you out while you weren’t looking,” “when did she?” I ask “this morning... Look, Aston... We have to go,” she says taking Ivy’s hand and moving closer to the gate “NO,” I suddenly scream, making everyone look at me, but I couldn’t care less. “You can’t just leave,” I whisper, “but Ast-” “I promised, and I plan to keep that, but I can’t do that if you don’t let me!” I beg “Aston, please-” “No, (Your name)... You will hear me out! I need you to stay... I can’t let you leave and wonder twenty four seven, if you two are okay... Please (Your name)... You can’t,” I whimper as a tear falls down my face, but she walks up to me and places her hands on my neck gently. “I can’t stay Aston... I’ve got everything planned out. We’ll be fine Aston, I promise... You know how to contact me, don’t you?” “I do, but please,” I whisper “Aston... We have to go... I’ll look after Ivy for you... I promise,” she whispers, but after a second of talking, she slowly and gently places her lips onto mine and performs a long tender kiss on the lips, before breaking away slowly, “I’m sorry Aston,” she whispers, before turning away and grabbing everything she had and going through the gate.

That was it... She’d left, and the only thing I had left was one kiss that she’d just given me. Although, I had a plan and I was gonna make this plan work. I am determined!

Claire’s POV:

Waking up softly, I could just about see what Aston was doing through my half open eyes. “Ast, what are you doing?” I mumble as I look at the clock and its half past eleven. “Nothing,” he mumbles, but I have now climbed out of bed and walked over to the walk-in-wardrobe where he is, “Ast, you’re doing something,” “go back to bed,” he mumbles back, while he packs a bag “but Ast, I wanna know what you’re doing,” “why? You’ve made my BEST FRIEND leave and not only that... Whatever you told her this morning has doubled her problems here and so she is now on a plane going over to America with Ivy,” he hisses as I frown deeply. Oh shit, I didn’t realize. “Aston. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize saying that would make her wanna leave... I only said my opinion,” I say softly, but he stops. “Hold on, she didn’t plan the tickets or anything today...” He speaks his thoughts, before snapping his head to look at me which startles me “how long does it have to be before you can board a plane and all that?” He asks “err.... At least a week I suppose,” “DAMN IT,” he shouts before punching the door of the wardrobe “damn it, that girl had this all planned,” he speaks his thoughts out once again, but then he suddenly restarts to pack his bag.

“What are you doing?” I ask as I follow him down the stairs and into the living room, where he starts up his IPad. “Booking plane tickets,” “for whom?” I ask confused “me... I’m going after (Your name),” he says as he takes his IPad into the kitchen and starts to make a cup of coffee, but as he leaves his IPad on the kitchen worktop, I look at his IPad which has a website of EasyJet.com. “Wow... You really do anything for this girl, don’t you? You don’t love me, do you? You love her more,” I whisper as he stops making a cup of coffee, sighs and looks at me.

He suddenly marches me backwards against the wall, pressing his lips hardly onto mine, while he travels his hands up my nightdress and land on my thighs to lift me up and wrap my legs around his waist. Soon, his kisses travel down to my neck as he undoes his zip and belt, before allowing his jeans to fall around his ankles, but I just managed to grab a condom off the corner table that happens to be next to us, just as he allows his boxers to fall around his ankles as well. Although soon enough, he eases himself into me as I sigh out in pleasure, before we make love up against the wall.

Aston’s POV:

Sipping at my coffee, I continue to look at plane tickets to find the quickest and easiest tickets I could get, plus the cheapest ones too.

Claire was back in bed, after we made love up against the wall and then finished it in bed, but as soon as she fell back to sleep. I came back downstairs and continued my search for tickets.

Soon enough, I found tickets that allowed me to: fly privately, quickly and be out in America by tomorrow afternoon at three ‘o’ clock in American time. I ordered the tickets and would be able to pick them up at the airport. I’m gonna finally be able to get back with my two girls!
