For The Love

The Inhospitable Return

I answered my phone, "Hello?"

"Liyala? We need you back," the phone call replayed in my mind over and over again.

These few months have been crazy I went all over. Egypt, Spain, the UK, then Hawaii, now I'm back to my beginning.

I glanced back at the gates. The only reason I came back was because of Lee. Ever since that day Lee hasn't called, texted, or tried to contact me in any way, shape or form. I carried my suitcase and strolled out the airport.

Callamar called me and told me that Lee was reverting to old habits and that I needed to come back as soon as possible. I decided if I should and as soon as I climbed on the plane back over here, I regretted it. My stomach felt funny and out of place. I tried to turn around and leave but the stupid flight attendant wouldn't let me get off the fucking plane.

I sat in my seat and closed my eyes.

I stared at everything I was at this same airport months ago. Running away from everything, from Lee, from drama, from my home.

Callamar, I turned into him because I could smell him immediately he smelled like expensive cologne. He scooped me up into a big hug and put my luggage and carry-on in the car.

"I shouldn't have come here," I spoke.

"You don't mean that."

"But I do," he looked at me concerned.

"Lee needs you and you need Lee. The smoking and drinking Lee started it up again and the burning."

He dropped me off at the school. I strolled in and pulled in a parking spot.

I walked in the building I signed in and handed in all my work. My teachers loved me so they mailed me my work and told me to hand them in when I return. I finished all of it in the flight. I thought about all my friends. I decided to send them a text letting them know I made it home. I walked in the lunch room and everyone started getting quiet and turning to me with each step I took. I strolled over to Scott and Stiles.

"Boo," I said making Scott turn around he grabbed me onto a tight hug and swung me around.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I would've got you from the airport."

I looked at him, "I've been here, there, a little everywhere." I waved at Stiles awkwardly, Stiles and I weren't friends more like enemies and he had a crush on me.

I still had my Egyptian style going. I had an Egyptian summer tan fading making me appear darker than I am. My hair was down and curly, Farao liked it like that.

"LIYALA," I turned to hear the sexy accent that I've become so accustomed to.

"Miguelito what are you doing here?"

The chatter started buzzing quickly, all these girls started staring at him and some of the guys too. I looked at him, his pink lips, deep waves, and tan like skin tone. I laughed as he pulled me into a bone-crushing hug. Girls already began gawking at him and shit which caused me to laugh because he only had eyes for one girl. His biceps bulged as he pulled me into a tighter embrace. He had his cute outfit thing going.

"So where's Lee?" He opened his mouth and the whole room got quiet.

"Lee is right here," Lee got up and started walking over here.

Shit! Shit shit! "Miguelito don't start." I tried to defuse the situation before it started.

"My name is big Papi," he joked with me and I laughed because he's been trying to get me to call him Big Papi ever since I stopped in Spain to see him.
