Shakers Dreams

Departure - 41

Softly i run my fingers through his short dark hair careful not to wake him. Admiring his tattooed toned chest as the white sheet lays lightly over the lower half of his body.

Last night was amazing to say the least. Its as though our minds and body were created for each other.

"Good morning sweetheart." I look to his hooded eyes as he tucks a peice of my hair behind my ear.

I lean down and kiss him gently. I can't beleive this blue eyed beauty is with me. His hand slides up my arm as he cups my cheek kissing me back just as softly.

"I could get use to waking up like this." He smiles still holding my face in his hand. His words hit my heart. Just slamming itself into me before its covered with the uncertianity. The thought of him leaving today plummets my mood, sending my high to an all time low. I kiss him again before laying back onto my pillow.

Staring at the ceiling i wonder if he will stay even if its just for a little while.

He makes a move sitting up and grabbing his phone. I watch him absentmindly as he flicks through it, his face turning into a full blown grin.

"Whats got you so happy?" I ask tracing the tattoos on his back with my fingers.

He turns to face me leaning down and kissing me softly again.

"Besides you?" His blue eyes looking so bright now.

He leans back resting his head on my stomach and holds his phone up so i can see.

Theres a picture of small baby wrapped in a white blanket. Looking so small and precious.

"I just became an uncle" Sounding smitten with the baby already.

"Shes gorgeous." I say happily as he flicks through the pictures. The next shes wearing a pink beaning and her tiny hand is wrapped around a finger showing just how tiny this new little human is.

The last one is of chase and the woman must be monica both smiling holding the little new born looking just like the proud parents they should be.

"Whats her name?" I ask as he lowers the phone.

"Sophie." He says lovingly shifting to lay down beside me. "She must have been born last night, explains why chase was trying to call me." He sounds in deep thought.

He rubs his face as he rests his arm on his forehead.

"What time are you leaving today?" I ask the question ive been dreading since he told me.

His blue gaze meets mine and his expression changes to one i cant quite work out.

"Plane leaves at 11am." He states not breaking eye contact.

My eyes find the little hotel digital clock on the night stand to see its just before 9am.

"You cant push it back and stay just a little longer?" I question.

His eyes darken just a little but i noticed it. "Ive already pushed it a day." He pauses. "And a promise is a promise."

His tone sends my mind into overdrive.

The bet. The promise. Does he expect me to leave and go home with him? Like america home?

"I didnt know that you ment home with the bet." I state.

"You promised." His voice is low and his blue eyes sharp. It surprises me.

I'm lost for words as we just stare at each other almost like we are in a face off.

"I.." i pause looking away from him. "I cant just up and leave." Can i? I have no job next to no money and jax doesnt leave for another 3 days.

"Why not?" He snips out.

"Because i just..." i take a deep breath. "Jax and lisa leave on tuesday." I pause again as i never bought my ticket.

"Because you actually didnt plan on coming back did you." He states looking away from me.

I have been on and off this whole time about returning that i realise now i subconciously already made the decision.

"Look, i dont even have a job not even one waiting for me back there. I have no fucken career path what so ever." I voice my thoughts that are really bringing me down.

"So money has you worried?" He should have rolled his eyes at me would have gone well with his tone.

"Its not just about the money." I sigh.

He turns away from me leaving the bed as i watch him start to pick up his clothing and get dressed. I drag my stupid ass out of bed and do the same.

I wish i knew what the hell he is thinking. I cant beleive we are arguing right before he leaves.

"What if i got you a job?" He breaks the silence sitting on the edge of the bed fully clothed.

Dylan get me a job? I breifly wonder what kind before i dont even bother with that line of thinking. I know it just as well as he must of sensed it. Im not ready to leave australia.

"Thats very kind of you.." i start but he cuts me right off. "But you just cant. Yeah i get it." He huffs out standing to his feet.

We leave the hotel and the short walk back to his car wasnt far but was quiet as fuck. He didnt even hold my hand.

I eventually find myself opening the car door in my parents driveway. "Are you not even going to say bye?" I throw out there not moving from the seat.

"There is this." He says pulling his wallet out and taking a black credit card from within. "I owe you a pair of shoes." He says handing me the card.

I stare at it. "Just give it to jax when your done or post it. fucken cut it up for all i care." He snaps out. It wasnt till then i could really see how upset he is.

"Just fucken take it." His voice goes deeper making me take the tiny bit of plastic from his hands.

"Is all this, because i wont come back with you right now?" I try to clarify what is actually happening.

"Its obviously not going to work between us maddison, its best we found out now before.." he pauses looking away from me tightening his grip on the steering wheel.

"Before what?" I snap.

"Once my mind is made mads, i dont look back not even for you. So please forgive me that i dont worship you as you leave." His words were harsh and cut deep.

I exit the car slamming the door. I step back just as he floors it dissappearing out of sight in seconds.

A/N ** and just like that...he's gone.**
