London | Lin x Pippa

Chapter 26

Pippa's POV
We stay there for a while, just laying together. I shifted a little bit, and Lin started playing with my hair. Occasionally, he would press a kiss into my locks and I would smile.  Eventually, I decide to get my act together and actually pack, so I sit up and stretch my arms, sighing as I do. Right before I jump off the bed, I here the shuffling of feet outside, as well as not-so-soft whispering.

"Okay, when I point to you you're gonna ....." I didn't catch the end.

"Lin," I whisper, nudging his arm lightly. "They are planning something."

"What?"

"Jasmine and sebby are outside our door... i don't know what's happening, but they're gonna do something.... probably loud.. I just know it." Right after that, jasmine yells: "what are you two doing in there?! go!" She whisper shouts to Sebastian.

He starts knocking on the door and says "are you making good choices?!"

Lin and I both burst out laughing.

"Yes sebby don't you worry!" Lin shouts back. "That must have been jasmine's doing," he says to me.

"Come on, we actually have to pack." With both of our combined efforts (and a few more snugs, cuddles, and kisses) we finally finish packing all of my 2 bags. Yes, only two. When we check up on Jas and Renee, we see that they are having a harder time than we did.

"You guys, why did you bring that much stuff?! I was staying for a month! And I brought two bags! You were staying for a week! And you brought 4!"

"Correction," Renee says, "3 and a half. One of them is a backpack which shouldn't count as one."

"Yes, and one of mine is a satchel which also shouldn't count as one either." I say in a playfully mocking tone.

"What can I say," ant says, "my girl's high maintenance." He hugs her tightly and hurried his face into her curly hair.

"Oh you shut up" jasmine says as she playfully pushes him on the shoulder.

"Yo," Lin says, "if Sebs picks up any bad language from you guys, imma beat your A-S-S-E-S." he spells out the bad word just to be cautious (at this point I'm not gonna apologize for language. It just happens lel... not that I swear irl.) Sebastian looks at his father like he's curious about what he just said, but then looks away like nothing happened. Lin let's out a sigh of relief and we all chuckle.

"Come onnnnn" jasmine whines, "help us pack, you two love birds who were actually efficient with your time unlike what we all expected... if you know what I mean" She whispers. I (playfully) hit her in the back of the head.

"Not funny Jas"

"And yet you still wont use my full name...I guess you don't mind after all--"

I dash around her and put her into a headlock. "Jasmine Cephas Jones I swear to--"

"Phillipa oh my lord what are you doing?!" Lin asks, shocked. He gets up and slowly moves towards us.

"Heh don't worry. We do this all the time," I reassure my concerned.. Lin.

"Really!" Jasmine says, looking up and smiling. "It happens probably 3 times a month."

"It does," Renee adds "we just learn to live with it. Just like when I tie Pippa and jasmine's hair together because they fight."

"And just like I steal Renee's stuff and hide it outside if she is being too 'mom-y' on us."

"Sooooo this is normal??" Lin asks again. Now, he and ant are staring at us girls in terror.

"Yes sweetie, you have nothing to worry about," I say, grinning.

"Did you know about this, ant?"

"Nah man, just as shocked as you are."

After we actually finished up packing, we all piled into lin's car. Renee dropped her rental off earlier that day.

"Music?" Lin asks from the drivers seat.

"Yeah!!!" Everyone shouts, including Sebastian.

"Wait, do you want normal music, like pop,  or Broadway music?"

"Broadwayyyy," jasmine says, "who do you think we are??" Which causes a laugh. Lin then puts on his Broadway playlist which includes the cast members' favorite selections. No one else comes on.

"Listen pips, it's your beautiful voice," he says to me as I blush profusely. Lin intertwines his hand with mine for the rest of the ride.

"Awwwwww" the 2 back seat rows say.

We listened to the best hits ever until we reached the airport and Lin parked the car. Then, we took the bags and got out of the car. No one really talked because we knew what was about to happen. 4 of the 6 would be leaving. Once we reached the gate we all just stand there awkwardly. I glance at Lin and he barrels me over in a ginormous hug. It isn't a happy hug though, neither of us are smiling. I start crying a little, and so does he.

"Promise to call me?" He asks

"Every day."

"Promise to text me?"

"Of course"

"You're still gonna say that you're my boyfriend, right?" He says, letting go to look at me.

"Why wouldn't I?" He hugs me hard again and I just don't want to let go.

"I love you, Phillipa, I really do"

"I love you too, Lin, so so so much."

He kisses my forehead and I look up at him, pressing our foreheads together.

"I'll see you soon," I say before I kiss him.

"See you..." after that, I kneel down to Sebastian.

"Hey buddy, I gotta go now."

"NOO MOMMY!" He says as he jumps in top of me, almost knocking me back.

"It's okay baby, I will FaceTime daddy and we can talk, and I promise that I'll visit. Okay?"

"Okay... pinky promise?" He says, holding out his hand. I hook my pinky with his and he smiles. Once I get up, Lin is finishing his goodbyes with the others. He gives me one last look and smiles bittersweetly.

"See ya later, soo."

"Bye," I say as I walk off.

Lin's POV
Well. She's gone. They're all gone. Sebastian and I head back from the airport quietly. (Except for the fact that he is humming the chugginton theme song.) I keep thinking about her and I get sad. But then I realize that, at least for now, this is where my life is. My life is with Sebastian, my life is in London.

Hey y'all!!! That took hella long time to write. Writes block is not a friend of mine. Imma stop shooting for my 1,000 word goal of each chapter and just publish as I get ideas. This might cause the updates to come sooner which is good. If y'all have any good lippa stories that aren't on my reading list, pls share. Lippa is my life. I'm probably gonna work on a different book now that's not a part of this series. However, I do have plans for a future sequel!!! I love you all so so much! Thanks for hangin in there I'll the end! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
