Muse (Pt. 2)

Kashmir

"I love you."

The words echoed through my mind. Banging up against the walls of my skull. My heart thumped with fear as it increasingly got louder.
I stayed motionless.

...

3:43a.m.

I watched as the rain harshly hit up against the patio door. The ocean waves crashed up against the shore and winds gradually picked up.

I hummed softly to Zeppelin playing through the speaker on the kitchen counter. The isle light illuminated a small portion of the kitchen and made it more enjoyable to watch the rain outside.

"Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby let me take you there," I softly sang along. My singing was interrupted when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Why are you awake so early?" He softly hummed.

"My dad wanted me to catch the earliest flight home."

His head was lifted from my shoulder.

"We agreed on you leaving at night," he spoke softly.

"I know but you know my dad. I think you should go see your family."

"I could do that or I could go with Josh and speak about these new songs I wrote."

I felt his arms detach from me. He went around the isle to sot on a stool on the other side, completely blocking my sight of the ocean.

"Okay Tyler," he tended

I nodded briefly before I got up abruptly.

"I should be getting ready or I'll be late."

"I love you."

...

I placed my suitcases on the conniver belt.

I looked back at my flight ticket and made my way to my gate as Tyler held my hand tightly. It wasn't much help as I was slowly slipping from his grasp.

Slowly I shall fall.

"Okay Pete is picking me up. I'll be staying at home and sleep before the week begins. I'll call as often as I can but you know how it is with touring. It's just dreadful love."

"You're rambling Carter," Tyler pushed aside a strand of my hair behind my ear.

His soft pink lips pecked mine but meet once again for a more passionate kiss. It was everlasting, a surge of thrill, an adrenaline rush.

"Now boarding for Wilmette Illinois."

"Are you sure you cam fly alone?"

I bit my lip, "I'm no baby."

He chuckled which only made me feel guilty. His chuckle was pure and made me feel butterflies.

"I love you."

I squinted my eyes and hugged him goodbye before boarding my plane. This was going to be the longest 4 hours of my life.
