Promise Me...

Promise me.. Ch 25

My hands shake.. My feet slowly begin to step one foot in front of the other. But now.. They pick up speed.. I'm running.. Running as fast as my legs will go..

I brush past tons of people.. Some I lightly bump but I can't stop to apologize now. My heart is beating my insides. A smile forms on my face as I run..

He's running too now.. Rushing past all of these strangers, we must be going 60 miles an hour..

"Liam.. Liam Liam Liam!" I say to myself. He soon stops but I'm not slowly down.. No way..

Why does this seem to be taking forever?! Some people walk in between our bodies but we are a distance away so it won't affect anyone..

I told him he'd see me run.. The butterflies in my stomach have escaped because they are gone now..

I see them.. I see the beautiful winged creatures flying from my body and vanishing into the light.. I know there are tons of other bodies around mine but at this moment.. Everyone has disappeared.. I only see him..

Black t-shirt and skinny jeans with a flannel like mine around our waists.. I swear this was not planned.. He's all I see.. All I want to see.. All I want.

I know we're getting closer, I know we have to be but we don't seem any closer.. But then finally.. Only 10 feet away..

Running.. Still running.. But I'm not close to being out of breath.

Now.. It's happening now!

I jump. Jump into his arms. Our bodies touch.. This is what I've been longing for.

My legs wrap around his waist and my arms chain around his neck while his arms around my hips.. He staggered back a bit but held me.. He held me tighter than I've ever felt anyone squeeze me before.

"Oh my God I missed you so much.." Tears spring to my eyes when I whisper in his ear
"I missed you too.. I missed you so much.." His voice is cracking a little

My lips connect to his cheeks and neck repeatedly. My hands brushing back his hair. Then his turn begins. He kissed my skin so many times I lost count.

His grip gets tighter.. He stuck to what he promised. To squeeze me so tight that I'll stick back together.. And I think I just did.

My forehead pressed against his as we breathe in and out.. Our eyes meet now. That sparkling brown my eyes have been waiting to see. His touch, my body has been craving. His voice, my ears will listen to for the rest of my life if they could. Yes. This is how much I missed him.

My hands reach his cheeks and softly my thumbs brush against his skin.

"You look so beautiful. You are absolutely gorgeous Noel.. You are.. You're so beautiful.." He repeats himself
"I missed you!" Tears are beginning to fall from my eyes.
"No baby don't cry. Don't cry.. I missed you too.." Now he's beginning to cry..

Did you hear what he just called me?! Oh my gosh I think my heart skipped a beat for a second..

I wipe his tears and burry my head into the crook of his neck. My arms keep me close to his body as I squeeze him. I feel his hand come up to his eyes when he mops away his tears.

Suddenly I feel another pair of hands on my body.

"Liam do you need help getting her o-" a man grunted when he touched my waist
"No! No don't touch her.. Please. It's okay.. She's okay.." He speaks, backing up a couple of steps while trying to help his voice from breaking even more

When my head detaches from his neck, our eyes meet again. There are things I've been dying to tell him.. And now would be the perfect time. But I can't.. I can't..
