It was time to go back home we all were going in different directions. I stood at the gate to my plane hugging Larry like it was going to be the last time I saw him.
"Nautari it's only going for be a couple of weeks."
"I know but it's going to feel like an eternity."
I kissed his lips one more time before heading through my gate I looked back and he smiled at me mouthing the words only a couple of weeks. I mouthed the words I love you back to him he smiled and said the same. I sat in my seat staring out the window. As the plane took off my heart dropped. Larry was like my drug and I definitely was addicted. As soon as the plane flew off I felt myself going through withdrawal. I closed my eyes and fell asleep before I knew it we were home. I drug myself to the entrance to wait for my Uber. I finally reached my apartment an half hour later. I turned the key in my lock and opened the door instead of going to my room I went into Larry's I laid across his bed where the scent of his cologne lingered. I drifted off to sleep again when my phone went off. I looked to see who was calling it was my baby. I smiled from ear to ear.
"Hey babe"
"Hey belle you get home safely."
"Yes."
"Where are you that look like my room"
"It is."
"Awe you miss me already."
"No." I teased
"Mmmhmm."
"Non worry daddy be home soon."
I laughed. We stayed on the phone until both of our batteries died. I curled up with his pillow wrapping his blanket around me. I put the song he recorded for me on repeat and fell into a deep sleep. I was awakened the next morning by my loud ass best friend.
"You going through Larry withdrawal already bestie."
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.
I was slightly pissed that she woke me up I was having the best dream ever. I sat in the middle of the floor unpacking both Larry and my stuff do I could wash it.
"Hmmm he already got you doing his laundry." Khadija teased.
I was about to say something but my phone rang. I got all excited inside when I saw it was Larry.
"I miss you already bebe." He pouted.
"Aweee baby I miss you too."
Khadija pretended to stick her finger down her throat and throw up. But then Lau called and she got all goofy. She took off to the bathroom and shut the door.
Larry and I both laughed.
"Don't be masturbating on us toilet." Larry yelled after her. By this time I was holding my stomach doubled over in laughter. Khadija yelled back out." Mind your business Larry."
By now I had tears in my eyes laughing so hard.  When I regained my composure he told me to wear something sexy tonight he had an surprise. That idea excited me. We talked for awhile before he had to go back to work. I hung up and finished my chores around our apartment.
