Forbidden Love

chapter thirty five

"Got your phone?"

"Yup."

"What about your passport?"

"Got it."

"Your ticket?"

"It's with my passport."

"Toothbrush?"

I stopped walked down my apartment building's hallway and froze. I looked up at Tobias who had my Michael Kors tote bag on his shoulder as well as my suitcase in his other hand. He raised an eyebrow at me as I continued to stare at him.

"Well?" He asked, keeping the elevator open by holding his hand out in between the doors.

"No, I forgot," I said, shaking my head. I reached into my bag to grab my keys and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

"You can go in the Uber. We're already late as is, we don't want to be any later," I told him, walking backwards so that I could see him as I went back to my apartment.

"I wonder why that is," he replied, winking right before the elevator doors shut.

I blushed as I opened my apartment, remembering this morning's steamy events. Ever since I got sick Tobias has spent the night at my house. During the day, I was out at school finishing up my last finals while he was out fighting. During the night, however, there was nothing but us two and the bed... And sometimes the couch or the shower or the counter--basically anything in our path.

Lately, we've been in paradise, cooped up with just each other. I haven't seen anybody, but Tobias in the last couple of days and I was okay with that. It was like we were in our own little world, our own little bubble, of just the two of us. It was calming and exhilarating at the same time. After today, it was going to be official. When we arrive at the airport I was going to break things off with Julian and finally be with the one who was right for me, the one I love.

A goofy smile came over my face. I love Tobias, I was sure of it. He was so charming and caring. He was always looking out for me, always having the right intentions. He was the one. I grabbed my toothbrush and with one last glance of my apartment, I shut the door and locked it behind me.

"Stop shaking," Tobias whispered close to my ear.

"I'm not shaking."

"Yes you are," he replied, placing a soft kiss on my temple. "It's going to be fine."

"I feel bad-"

"You guys weren't even in a real relationship," he said, rubbing my hand softly. "He's a big boy. He can take care of himself."

I sighed and rested my head on Tobias's chest. I felt his hand play in my hair, a recent thing he started to do that soothed me.

We were currently waiting at the airport for the rest of the gang to show up. We were the first ones to get to the airport, surprise surprise, and now we were stuck waiting for our flight to board. There was some talk about a snowstorm coming to New York, which may mess with our flight, but as of right now everything seemed fine. Tobias pulled back and I instantly felt cold. I was about to scold him until I heard Noel bickering.

"No, no, no. I don't think you understand me," she said slowly as if the person didn't speak English very well. "I said that you can't lose my baggage not try hard not to. My wedding is in two days. If you lose it-"

Her words were cut off by Scott's apologizes. I turned around and giggled at the sight of Scott nearly dragging Noel away from the security guard.

"Scott, I wasn't done!" She fumed, glaring at the security guard behind her. "I've heard stories about people missing their luggage. I can't have that happen to me."
