What He Didn't Know... (Rewritten Version)

Chapter 2: Heading to Miami...Pt. 2

1/12/2020:

Nessa's P.O.V.

Ryan dropped me off at the airport so I can board the firm's private jet. One of the perks of being the owner. I was flying over to Miami to cut on the almost five-hour flight.

"I guess this is goodbye for now ma." Ryan says pulling me into his hard chest hugging me tightly.

"I guess it is." Wrapping my arms around his neck snuggling into his chest. I am going to miss him.

"No worries. We will see each other next week. If you need to talk to me, call, text or leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Okay my love?"

"Yes." Nodding into his chest still buried in it.

Hearing his chest rumble I know he is laughing at me "You are so cute when you pout." He lifts my head to look up at him.

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are totally cute." Again, he chuckles then leans down to capture my lips. I love kissing him, he always makes everything bad go away.

During our mini make out session, we hear someone clear their throat. Looking behind us, I see the pilot standing there looking embarrassed.

"Sorry Miss Rodriguez, we are ready to board." Looking at me and then Ryan.

"All right, thank you Captain Copper." I tell him. Nodding his head, he turns around and goes up the stairs to the plane.

"Well, I guess that is our cue?" Ryan looks down at me with a frown.

"Guess so." Pulling away I go to pick up my things and look back at Ryan.

"I know this must be hard on you seeing these lowlifes after so many years. I can only imagine what you went through and what you are feeling right now. I really, really wish I could be there by your side, so you do not face them alone. Like I said, if you need to talk to me, call me. Though I will not be there physically, I will be there in spirit. You mean a lot to me Malena. I do not want them to upset you." He says cupping my cheeks again in his big hands.

"I guess it is a good thing that I am not going. God only knows what I would do if any one of them says anything to you disrespectfully. I might need to be bailed out from jail." Chuckling at the last part then hugs me tight.

"I know babe. I love the fact that you even consider going to jail over me. But I will have to put on my big girl panties and face them. Even Creed."

"That is what I am afraid of. Do you think you will be able to face him?"

"Sooner or later, I am going to have to. I rather it later but it has been too long. I need to do this. I have Faith."

"We both have Faith," Kissing me softly. "I love you, Malena. Please remember that."

"I love you too Ryan. I gotta go. I will talk to you later, okay?" Hugging him tightly not wanting to let him go.

"Have a safe flight baby girl. I expect a call or text when you land. Tell your parents I say hello and I hope to see them soon." 

"Will do. Bye babe." Giving him another kiss, I then turn to go up the stairs to the jet.

Before going inside, I turn around to wave at him. "Hasta ahorita!"

"Hasta ahorita!" He yells back blowing me a kiss.

Walking inside the cabin I find my seat and seat down wiping the tears that pool in my eyes. I sometimes get emotional when Ryan and I have to part ways for a while. He is such a very big part of my life and I always miss him dearly when we are apart. But I know my tears are not only for him. They are for the one person I swore I would never shed a tear for ever again, and that is Creed Keen.
