I'll Be Loving You.....Forever

Chapter 28

"Shit! The cars will be here in 15 minutes, J" I scream from upstairs.
"Ok, what's the panic?" He replies calmly.
"I haven't finished packing!"
"You've got nothing to pack, the girls did it all for you" he says as he walks through the bedroom door to find my case empty & clothes everywhere.
"What the hell?!" He exclaims.
"Look at all this! I can't wear any of this, why the fucking hell did you let them pack for me?!"
"Because I thought it would be helpful?" He asks quizzically
"No, J, it's not been fucking helpful at all" I yell at him.
"Please don't be angry, I had a feeling that this would happen. Which is why, my darling, I enlisted the help of your mum to help me pack a suitable suitcase for you to take. It's waiting down in the hall with the others."
"Really? My mother hasn't packed me a suitcase since I was a kid!! What about my underwear? She didn't pack that did she?"
"No, I wasn't going to let her do that, now was I?!" He laughs
"I guess not. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you. I'm tired & emotional."
I walk over to him and throw my arms around his neck & kiss him.

The cars arrive to take us to the airport. It looked like everyone was coming to send us off to the land down under & my family back to England.

The short journey to the airport seems to take longer than normal. I sit looking out of the window, I jump as J puts his hand my leg.
"Sorry, baby, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just feel a little sad. I don't want everyone to go back home."
"I know, darling, but you know that you can go & see them any time you want, don't you?"
"I know." I turn & smile at him with tears in my eyes. He pulls me close & kisses the top of my head. I melt into safe place.

After an emotional goodbye to everyone, we finally find ourselves alone in a quiet corner of the airport. We sit there, side by side just enjoying the quiet, my head resting on his shoulder, his head resting on mine. I feel myself dozing off. The next thing I know, Jordan is gentle waking me up,
"Baby, it's time to wake up. Our flights been called"
"Mmmm....five more minutes"
"We don't have five more minutes, we've got to go. I've been & got us coffee, so let's get the sexy ass of yours moving"
I stretch & open my eyes to find him standing there holding our coffees, smiling sweetly at me.
"Thanks, darling. I'm sorry I fell asleep' I say as I reach for my coffee cup & he kisses me softly on top of my head.

As we board, I go to turn right as normal, Jordan holds me back, "Not this time, sweetheart. I have a surprise for you."
I look at him quizzically as the stewardess says
"Welcome aboard, Mr & Mrs Knight, please follow me & I'll escort you to your suite."
I feel my mouth drop open, I look at my husband, who looks lovingly back at me & smiles, his beautiful chocolate brown eyes lighting up.
We are escorted to our suite, the stewardess bids us a good flight & to call if we need anything, then leaves us.

As I stand there, staring at my surroundings, wondering how the hell a girl from an English council estate, could end up here, in a first class suite, with the man she has adored since she was 9, heading to the other side of the world on honeymoon to visit her family?!

"Penny for your thoughts, baby," Jordan whispers, his long, slender fingers gently touching my arm & sending shivers through my body at the feel of his gentle touch. I turn to look at him, try to speak but no words come out, just random sounds. He takes my hand & leads us to the seating area ready for take off.
"J, I don't know what to say. This is all too much, I don't deserve this. You give me everything, I have nothing to give you in return,"
"Tor, you have already given me everything & more. You are my wife, my best friend, my rock, my soul mate. Please, just let me spoil you & treat you like you deserve to be treated, my princess"
"Oh, Jordan, I-I-I......"
"Sssshhhhhh" he whispers as he places a finger on my lips, then leans in & softly kisses me.
