I woke up to the feeling of a finger tracing shapes on my exposed shoulder blade and the familiar smell of cologne tickling my nose. I clutched the sheet of the queen mattress I was laying on and pulled it up to my nose before wiggling back into the familiar shape of his body.
"Good morning beautiful." Jack's husky morning voice vibrated just beside my head before he kissed behind my ear.
"Good morning." I smiled, kissing his hand as he wrapped it around my own holding the sheet. "I missed waking up like this, wrapped up in you."
"I did too." He hummed, pulling me as close as he could before letting go and standing up.
"I didn't miss this though." I sighed, rolling onto my back to find him pulling on the clothes he had laid out for the airport.
"What do you mean?" He asked as he tugged a white t-shirt over his head and tossed his hair.
"Watching you pack and leave for the airport." I said.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to have you wake up with me gone." He explained sitting back beside me in his boxers.
"Let me get dressed, I'll come with you." I sat up.
"You don't have to do that, go back to sleep baby. It's only 6:30." He peaked at the clock.
"No, I wanna go." I smiled.
"I guess I can spend a few more hours with you." He grinned, kissing my lips quickly.
I reached to the floor for my hoodie and tugged it over my head before standing up to find the rest of my clothes.
"You still take my breath away." Jack said as I flipped my hair over my shoulder.
"Oh stop it, I just woke up." I blushed, hiding my face in my hands.
"Doesn't matter." He smiled, leaning against the door frame.
"Do you still pack extra toothbrushes when you travel?" I asked.
"Yes." He laughed, reaching in his carry on and handing me an unopened toothbrush.
"So strange." I giggled, shuffling into the bathroom.
I cleaned myself up the best I could before exiting the bathroom to Jack standing with his bag on his shoulder on his phone.
"Ready?"
"As I'll ever be." I sighed, grabbing my phone.
He took my hand as we walked down the hall to the elevator and made small talk as we walked out to the Uber. I rested my head on his shoulder and watched the city I had called home for the past four years pass us by on the way to the airport. Jack drew circles on the back of my hand and placed kisses on the top of my head every so often, making me fall more in love as if that were even possible. When the car came to a stop we thanked the man and got out, fingers still intertwined as we walked through the airport. We found a Starbucks and Jack bought us coffee while we waited for his boarding call.
