All Grown Up (IM5)

Chapter 15

Cole's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I wake to the annoying sound of my phone's alarm ringing at 5am. What the hell? I'm close to falling back asleep when I remember that I've got a plane that leaves at 6. I shoot out of bed as I remember that I've got to go pick Lexi up.

Picking out the first pair of underwear, pants, shirt, socks, and shoes I find in my way, I dress quickly. Before making my way to the elevator, I grab my phone and ticket. While waiting for the elevator to come, I send Leslie a quick text. *On my way, see you in a bit*. I don't expect a reply since it's currently 2am in California, me being in New York.

Finally, the elevator comes and I enter it, pushing the 'L' button which signifies the lobby. After a minute or so, it stops at my destination, the lobby, and I walk out, finding Jill already seated on a couch, waiting for me since she was going to drive me to JFK. "Ready to go?" She asks me. I nod my head in return and begin making my way to the exit.

After the 6 hour flight, I was exhausted. I didn't like to sleep in airplanes, so the whole flight, I spent it watching movies and listening to music. But I knew it'd all be worth it when I finally got to see my wonderful girls. I was looking forward to spending more time with Lexi and letting Leslie relax.

After the plane landed, in a matter of like 30 minutes, I was already at the terminal. Probably because I didn't have any baggage and only had to go through security. As I walked out of the terminal, I heard a little shriek. My face instantly lit up as I recognized Lexi's excited shriek.

"DADDY!" She shrieked, making me turn in her direction and run to her. I quickly knelt down in front of her, engulfing her in a warm and long hug.

"How are you, baby?" I asked her as I stood up, placing her on my hip. "And you, love?" I asked Leslie, hugging her as well and kissing her.

"Good," they both answered, making me happy.

"Alrighty, so now we go home. Our plane leaves tonight at 7. Since it's only 9am, we've got at least 8 hours before we have to come back to the airport." I inform both Leslie and Lexi as we make our way out the exit and to the car.

Walking to the car, I move Lexi to my other hip and wrap my arm around Leslie's waist, pulling her closer to me. "I've missed you," I whispered to her, planting a kiss to her temple.

"I have to," she whispers back, sighing softly before adding, "and I'm going to miss you when you leave, again."
