"Let me be the first one to welcome you to Los Angeles! At this time you may use your cell phones and portable electronic devices. We ask that you remain seated until we pull in to the gate and the captain has turned off the 'fastened seat belt' sign. Be careful when opening overhead bins as baggage may have shifted during flight. We know you have many choices when you fly, so we thank you for choosing American Airlines."
As soon as saw the captain had turned off the seat belt sign, I stood up and lunged for the overhead bins to gather my belongings. I needed to get off the plane so I could drive to see my boyfriend. I promised I would go to see him as soon as I got home.
As I exited the plane, I sent him a text to let Matt know I was off the plane. I moved my long dirty blonde hair out of my face and headed towards baggage claim. I needed to get out of here, I thought. I needed to see my boyfriend. I watched each bag spin around the luggage carousel, impatiently waiting for my own.
"Lauren," I heard from behind me. I spun around to see Matt standing there, before he pulled me in to a big embrace. "It is so good to see you," he said lovingly.
"Matt!" I exclaimed, jumping in to his arms. You have no idea how hard it is to go a whole entire month away from a boyfriend like Matt. I mean, I love being in New York, but New York doesn't love me back like he does. "How did you know where to find me?"
"I called your mom who gave me your flight information. I missed you so much, I couldn't wait for you to drive all the way to my house!"
"I missed you too," I laughed. I pulled out a little snow globe and handed it to him. "I have a present for you!"
"This is great, I love snow globes!" he said smiling. "I have a present for you too."
And that was when he neared my lips for the first time in so long. His breath was minty as he brushed his lips over mine, almost teasing me, before he pressed them upon me with the reserved passion of the whole month. My blood raced as the airport noise seemed to drown out underneath the sound of our heartbeats. I put my arm around his neck and continued to kiss him as he lifted me off of the ground. I loved that he could make me feel small. He set me down again and gave me a sweet, gentle kiss once more before telling me what I have been waiting years to hear; "I love you, Lauren."
