Today's the day of mine and my daughters trip to go to PA and see my bf Matt, my family and my friends that I haven't seen in over a year. I couldn't wait. Couldn't even sleep. I've been up since 3. I just woke willow up got her dressed and ready to go. All of our things have been packed since the previous night before. Michael knocked on the door. I answered it.
"You guys ready?" He asked
"Yes sir ready to rock and roll" i said. Willow was at the table just finishing her breakfast.
"Hi Uncle Mike" she said and then-yawned she was still pretty tired.
"Hey Willow"said Michael. He walked over and kissed her head. Then he started to take our bags and put them in his car. He was going to watch my car and our apartment while we were gone. Willow finished eating and then we were ready to go. I made sure everything was off and locked the apartment before we left. We got into Michaels car and I hooked willow into her booster seat that we were also taking on the plane with us. Then Michael drove us to the airport. Mom and Chris following behind us in my moms car.
We arrived there at the gate willow and I had to go through and Michael helped me with our luggage. Mom and Chris and Michael walked inside with me and Willow and over to the spot where we were checked in they checked our bags we were scanned and then walked over to the area where we were to get on our plane.
"Now call me when you get to the Elmira airport safely" said my mom Patty.
"I will mommy. Promise" I said.
"Please be safe and have a good time. Call me everyday" my mom said with tears in her eyes. I hugged her.
"I will mommy I promise I will call you everyday and when we arrive at the airport safely"I said to her. She hugged me back. She kissed my cheek and head then she blended down and hugged Willow tightly.
"Please be a good girl for mommy listen to her and do as she says" said Patty to my little girl. Willow hugged her grandma.
"I will Gam ma" she said sweetly. "Me love you Gam ma"
"I love you too sweetheart" said Patty. She hugged her and kissed her and then hugged me one last time.
"I love you Becky"
"I love you too Mommy. So much" I said. Michael gave me a hug and then so did Chris. I grabbed Willows hand and put on our bands on our wrists so that we wouldn't get separated. Our plane number was called and we grabbed our bags.
"Bye guys see you in a month" I said.
"Bye" said my mom, Michael and Chris. Then me and Willow turned around and walked over to the lady to hand her our tickets. She took them checked them and then handed them back to me.
"Have a safe trip" she said
"Thank you"I replied. Then me and Willow walked through the turmoil and got on our plane. We found our seats and I put willows booster on her seat and she sat down. I buckled her in tightly and then buckled myself in after I put our small bags in the carrier holder above our heads. I held on to my purse and willows had her small back pack. I took out her headphones and her tablet and she got them on. I even took out her small pillow that she laid her head down on and her blanket in case she got tired.
After a few minutes went by I felt the plane take off. Willow was too preoccupied with her game to notice that we were already in the air.
While we were up in the sky in our plane I read willow books she played on her tablet and colored and even took a nap. Finally after about six hours of flying we finally arrived in Elmira NY at the Elmira airport. I called my mom as soon as we landed.
I got Willow out of her seat and unbuckled her, grabbed our bags and she had hers then when the plane stopped and we could get off we got off the airplane together hand in hand. We walked through the turmoil and was in the airport. I looked around hoping I would see a familiar face and then I saw him. My Matt.
He looked so handsome in his black shirt and jeans and sneakers. His hair looked likely had been cut and he even shaved.which I didn't care because I loved him with or without a beard. Whatever made him happy. He smiled at me and I at him and our eyes locked. I felt like I was flying and on cloud nine all over again the second our eyes locked on each other. I had the butterflies in my stomach and I even felt a little weak at the knees while me and Willow walked over to him.
Before I knew it I was standing right there in front of him.
"Hey Mattie"I Said.
"Hey Beck" said Matt. He leaned down and gave me a quick yet chaste sweet kiss on the lips that made my heart skip a beat as it always did when our lips made contact. He pulled away before engulfing me and Willow in a big bear hug.
"Hi Matt we missed you Matt"said Willow.
Matt smiles at her and bended down her height. He unhooked our band from her and then scooped her up into his strong arms. "I missed you too Willow" he said. He kissed her cheek. Then he looked at me. "Both of you."
I blushed and smiled. He set willow back down on her feet and grabbed some of our bags from my arms.
"Thanks" I said. He grabbed our bags with one hand and went to holding my other hand in his other. We interlocked our fingers. I held willows other hand and carried our other bags on my back. We walked out of the airport like that. We reached Matt's car and he put our luggage in his trunk. He already had a car seat in his car for Willow. I got her buckled in securely. And placed the rest of our bags in the car before getting in the passenger seat. Matt closed the trunk once all our bags were in and then got inside on the drivers side. He smiled at me and we went right to holding hands my left hand holding his right as he drove us out of the airports driveway and onto the highway.
"So where are we going first?" Asked Matt as he drove.
"Well first we have to go to Sarah's so I can drop off mine and willows bags. That's where we will be staying and sleeping while here in PA" I said. Sarah is one of my best friends. I dialed her number on my cell and it rang twice before she answered.
"Becky! I was hoping you would call soon!" She said in a cheerful voice.
I laughed. "Yes it's me. We just got off the plane and in Matt's car now. We are on our way to your house to drop off our bags" I said to her.
"Good you have to stay awhile before you go to your sisters" said Sarah.
"Well of course we will. I'm not going to see my sister Megan till tomorrow, we already discussed that" I said reminding Sarah of the plans that we already made weeks before our trip on the day I told her I got my tickets and when the trip was.
"Oh right right sorry I forgot"said Sarah. "Blonde moment"she joked.
I giggled. "No it's a Sarah moment"I chuckled.
"No it's a blonde moment. I actually dyed my hair again. I'm blonde now" said Sarah. I shook my head at the thought. My best friend Sarah is always dying her hair. One week it's red, then it's auburn, the next it's like orange and yellow. Heck one time it was silver black and white. Something about old school spirit when we were all Wildcats from our old high school.
"Well that's great that your blonde now. So I guess it is a blonde moment" I said. "Anyways we are on our way there Okay?"
"Okay see you when you get here Beck" said Sarah
"Okay see you soon Bye" I said.
"Bye"
Click went our phones.
"She dyed her hair again?" Asked Matt.
"Yep" I said. "She is always dying her hair. You think I dye my hair a lot?" I shook my head and pointed down at my phone at the picture of Sarah. "No this girl does it more times in a month then I can count"
Matt chuckled.
"Aunty Sarah" Willow Said.
"Yes Willow that was Aunty Sarah we are going to see her soon. Then tomorrow guess who you get to see?" I said to Willow turning to look at her in my seat.
"Who?" Said Willow
"Aunty Megan and cousin Cayden and Uncle Clay Clay and your little cousins Isabella and Olivia's!" I said and Willow squealed with delight. She loved her cousins especially her cousin Cayden. They are Like two peas in a pot those two.
"Mommy I hungry" said Willow.
"We are going to eat at Aunty Sarah's. She has a big dinner ready for us when we get there" I said
"Okay" sighed Willow. She grabbed her Minnie Mouse out of her bag and played with her in the back seat of the car.
We arrived at Sarah's a half hour later and Matt parked his car in Sarah's driveway. I opened up the door and went and got Willow out of the car.
"Becky is here!" I heard Sarah shouting from inside her house, and I smiled. I turned around after getting willow out of the car and there was Sarah running down her porch steps and right over to me engulfing me in a very large friendly hug. I hugged her back. So happy to be seeing my best friend again.
"Becky!!!i miss you so so much!" Said Sarah happily.
"I missed you too Sarah" I said happily trying to hold back tears. It had been longer then a year since I had last seen my best friend.
"Aunty Sarah!" Said Willow who was holding up her arms wanting Sarah to hold and hug her. Sarah let me go picked up Willow and hugged her close. She smiled at Willow and then at me.
"Wow Becky she does look like you. She is so your Mini me" said Sarah. "Photos don't do you justice kid."
Willow smiled and showed Sarah her Minnie Mouse. "Wait till you see the bed I got for you to sleep on kiddo. Come on come on"
"Nice to meet you Sarah" said Matt.
"You too Matt. Sorry about that just so excited you guys are here finally" said Sarah. She carried Willow into the house. I helped Matt with our bags.
"Sorry hon for the no introduction. I knew that as soon as she would see me she would go crazy" I said.
"It's okay love. I'll give her a proper introduction of myself when we get inside"said Matt. "But first" he set down our bags and I gave him a look. But before I knew it he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in close to him. My arms circles around his neck. He kissed me hard and passionately on the lips this time. I let myself drown in his kiss parting my lips when I felt his tongue begging for entrance into my mouth. Our tongues dueled and twisted around each other only to part every few minutes for air. We finally pulled away from each other only slowly so that we were still looking deep into each other's eyes.
"Now that was a kiss"I said trying to catch my breath. Matt chuckled and tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.
"I was going crazy in that car. Wanting so badly to give you a way better kiss then what we did in the airport" said Matt he too was also trying to catch his breath.
"But we had a kid with us so I'm kind of glad you waited to give me this nice hot passionate one" I said with a mischievous grin. He grinned back in return before kissing me again.
"Hey you two are you coming in or what?" Said Sarah from the front door.
"Yes we're coming" I said. I helped Matt pick the bags back up then we carried them inside Sarah's house. We got our bags into the room that me and Willow would be sleeping in. I had a big queen bed which I set my bags down on and on the side of my bed was a toddler Minnie Mouse bed that Willow was already in screaming with delight
"Me Mouse mommy me Mouse" Said Willow excitedly.
"I see that. Did you thank Aunty Sarah for getting you a Minnie Mouse bed to sleep on while we are here?" I said to Willow. She jumped off the bed and ran over to Sarah giving her the biggest hug her little arms could muster.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" Willow beamed at her. Sarah laughed and hugged her back.
"Your quite welcome. But you will have to thank Uncle Mark when he gets back here with our food" said Sarah.
"He isn't here?" I said
"No he went to get our pizza not even ten minutes before you showed up" said Sarah,
"Oh cool. I love pizza" I said
"Me too" said Matt.
"Me three" said Willow. We all laughed at her answer. Then we walked around Sarah's as she showed us her house. Matt finally grave Sarah a proper introduction and then introduced himself to Mark when he arrived a few minutes later.
"You must be Becky" said Mark after he and Matt shook hands.
"That I am" I said. Mark hugged me. I gave him a friendly hug back in return.
"You are all Sarah talks about. She told me how you guys met when you use to work at Animal Care Sanctuary and then at a dandy and then she told me that you use to work for a Walmart too like Matt here" said Mark.
"Yeah I did all that" I said. "I miss working at Walmart. I was a people greeter there.it was a lot of fun" I said. "Not a lot of people can say that about a job that they truly like."
"Very true"said Mark. "Well Im Glad you guys had a safe flight here. And I'm looking forward to getting to know Sarah's best friend and her boyfriend and of course this cute little Willow. Do you lik your bed Willow?" Mark said to her.
Willow grinned. "Yes I love it"Said Willow. "I want pizza now please"
"Okay Willow here lets get you to the table and get you some cheese pizza. Your mommy told me that was your favorite" Said Sarah. Willow nodded and Sarah showed her to the dining room table. We all followed suite. After we ate and talked more I got willow ready for bed. Sarah let me give Willow a bath in her bathroom and I got Willow in her pjs and after I laid her down she fell asleep a few minutes later.
"Boy I guess she was tired" said Matt as we watched Willow sleep from the doorway.
"Yeah she was. I don't blame her" I said. I yawned.
"I'm pretty tired too"
"I know so am I"said Matt. He yawned as well.
"Are you going to stay the night here with us?" I asked him and he shook his head. I frowned and he chuckled and kissed my cheek.
"No not tonight but I will on other nights. I have to get home . But I'll be back in the morning to take you to see you sister" said Matt.
"Okay hon" I said.
"Here walk me out to my car" said Matt
"Okay" I said I grabbed his hand and we headed for the front door.
"You leaving Matt?" Said Mark.
"Yeah I got to get home but no worries I'll be back in the morning to take Becky and Willow to see her sister" said Matt.
"Oh okay. Hey maybe we can all hangout sometime maybe go on a movie date or something" Said Mark.
"Sounds like fun" Said Matt
"You know I'm in"I Said.
"That sounds great. How about next Friday?" Said Sarah.
"Sounds good" I said
"I'll be there I have this whole month off while Becky is here" said Matt.
"You do?" I asked him. "I thought you told me awhile back ago that you could only get two weeks off"
"That was the plan but I talked to the supervisors and they agreed to give me the whole month off. Less pay but I have money saved for us to do things" said Matt smiling at me.
"As do I"I said.
"Good then it's settled. Next Friday night us four are going on a double date to dinner and to the movies" said Mark
"Deal"me and Matt said at the same time. We laughed in spite of ourselves.
"Okay Bye Matt I'm so glad I got to meet you" Said Sarah,
"You too Sarah and nice meeting you as well Mark"said Matt
"You too Matt Bye" said Mark.
"I'll be back in guys" I said to them and they both nodded and went back in the living room to watch tv. Me and Matt walked down Sarah's porch steps hand in hand and over to Matt's car.
He grabbed my hands in his and interlocked our fingers. He leaned his forehead against mine our lips only inches apart.
"I really wish you would spend the night" I said really wanting to lay in my mans arms.
"I know Beck but I'll see you tomorrow" said Matt.
"Okay hon. I love you"I said looking Matt straight in the eyes. He smiled and kissed me on the lips.
"I love you too Becky so so much" Said Matt. We kissed again before he got in his car. He started it up and then rolled down his window. "I'll message you when I get home safe"
"Good I love you" I said again with a smile.
"I love you too" said Matt. And he backed up out of Sarah's driveway and onto the road. He honked his horn at me and then drove down the road and out of sight. I smiled as I watched him go until I couldn't see him anymore. I looked up into the dark midnight sky and hugged myself. I was so glad to be back home in PA.
