Chapter 19

"I'll miss you mom," I said, hugging her one last time. She wiped her tears and smiled sadly as I left before the taxi driver honked again. It was still slightly dark outside, the sun was just beginning to rise. I pulled my two suitcases along with me to the car.

The cab door opened abruptly as Javier stepped out before I made it to the trunk. "Let me help you with that," he'd said, putting my suitcases in for me. I bit my lip. Seeing him again brought all my emotions back. I tried to shake off the feeling as a muttered a quick thanks and got in the car beside Elena. She was sitting in the middle.

"Hello Flora," Mrs. Accardi, greeted from the front. I smiled politely. "Hi, Mrs. Accardi. I can't thank you enough for letting me come with your family on vacation," I said. She glanced at the rear view mirror and smiled lightly.

I couldn't believe I was going to Spain. I wondered what it would look like, how different it would be from here. What would Elena's house look like there?

The car ride there was spent in comfortable silence. I think we were all tired. I of course was, especially after last night. My face broke out into a small smile as I thought of the events from then, the feeling of Wes's embrace, the emotions reflecting in his deep eyes.

I wanted to feel that way again. It was like a craving, an insatiable craving I only got with him.

The airport was larger than I had expected, but the lines were surprisingly short. As we went through each step, each line, I began to notice Javier kept glancing over to me. I'd catch him looking and he would turn away immediately when I did so.

I tried to ignore his heated gaze as I instead talked to Elena. Even when we finally made it to our gate and were sitting outside of it, I hadn't said a word to Javier.

I yawned as time droned on. I just wanted to get on the plane and leave. "Flora, I call window seat," Elena excitedly said beside me. "Oh, sure."

She then motioned towards the line of people walking through the door. I must've missed the call. Everything going on for me right now was kind of like a dreamstate. I was that tired.

When we boarded the jet, Mrs. Accardi sat in the third row, two empty seats beside her. "I hope you all won't mind if I sit alone. The three of you are to sit there." she pointed to the row beside us.

Elena immediately sat by the window after putting her suitcases up. Javier took mine for me with his and sat down tensely afterwards beside Elena. Great, I have the aisle seat.

I sat down as the last few people found their own seats and the flight attendant began her instructions.

My eyes were growing heavier by the second. Before I dozed off, I felt a calloused hand move across my neck, gently moving my head onto his shoulder. A subtle, smoky scent overtook me as I fell into a deep sleep.

"I'll miss you so much if you leave, please stay with me one more hour." I sighed as he pulled me closer, wrapping his arms tightly around my body. I felt his heart beat rapidly in his chest. He kissed me deeply, closing his eyes and moving me so that I was laying down against the oak floor, his body hovering above mine. "Wes, I have to go back, I won't make it in time if I just stay here," I giggled as he drew me possessively to his chest. "Just a little longer," he protested, kissing me again. I sighed. "I love you so much..." I soughed. He gasped, his fingers moving through my long hair.

I woke up with a start, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings of the airplane interior. I was sweating slightly, and my heart dropped when I realized he wasn't here with me.

I felt a hand playing gently with a lock of my hair. I soon realized it was Javier instead. I'd fallen asleep on his shoulder.

He hadn't seemed to notice. I considered it an innocent gesture, and instead closed my eyes again. This time purely by choice. I didn't put much thought into why Javier would let me lean against him. Even as I tried to convince myself it was innocent, the small gesture felt like so much more.
