For The Love Of Chéri (CHAPTERS 1-112 REWRITTEN)

Chapter 136 : Gatwick, This, Is, Gatwick..

Lennon took out his American passport, and pulled out the Spanish passport for Lena.

Lennon stopped, as he stared at the custom officials and grabbed Suzanne's arm.

"Yes?' She asked.

"Sue...Suzy..." he said softly.

"Yes? What's wrong, Lennon?"

"I just want to say... if everything goes wrong, everything I do, I do for love..." Lennon stammered, almost breaking a sweat, as his heart started to race within his chest.

"Lennon...?" Suzanne asked, as she caressed his face.

"I want to give you my parents details so if the worst happens, you can tell them what really happened...everything." Lennon started.

Suzanne shook her head, "No...no..Lenn..."

Suddenly they became aware of an official shouting at them. "NEXT! Are you in the queue, sir?!" The polish official asked, finally in English, after he saw the American passport in Lennon's hands.

Lennon pulled himself away from Suzanne, as he walked forward holding Lena's tiny hand, "Yes! Yes! Me, and my step-daughter!" He said as he stepped forward.

Lennon put his passport on the table, and they scanned it.

"Destination?" The official man asked.

"London, we're on a little family trip, with my fiance, and our daughter, then back to Spain, where we live." Lennon said.

The official turned to Suzanne. "You're going to marry an American national?" The man asked Suzanne.

"Yes! She said as she wrapped her arms around his, "I can't wait.."

"You will no doubt leave Poland... Your daughter is a Spanish national?" The man asked as he scanned Lena's passport.

"Yes. We travel on her Spanish passport as her father is Spanish." Suzanne said, as she watched the official stare into his screen.

Lennon reached out to his side and held Suzanne's hand, interlacing his fingers with hers.

The official turned to Lennon, and gestured him over with his index finger. Lennon felt his heart sink in his chest as he stepped forward to the desk.

"Are you aware, Mr Adamski, that...your passport expires early next year? You only have two months left." The Polish official mentioned, before handing the passports back, "Have a nice trip sir..."

"Ohh wow! I didn't know. Thank you, I've had that one for nearly ten years." Lennon said as he took them back.

They walked down the walkway and Lennon helped Lena sit on a chair, while he put the documents away, smiling back at the official who glanced back at their little international family group.

"Thank you, Greek." Lennon said quietly.

She looked back at the official who was looking in their direction, then turned back to Lennon, "Thank you, Lenn.." Suzanne said as she threw her arms around Lennon's neck, and stood on her tiptoes.

Lennon leant down, wrapping one arm around her waist and with his other hand, he brushed back strands of her hair, before he closed his eyes as they shared a slow kiss, with all the noise, announcements, and music going on in the background.

"Hmm..hmm..." Lennon vocalised as he pat her lightly on her behind, trying to get her to disengage from him.

Suzanne got down from her tiptoes, and looked up at Lennon the hazy eyes of a girl infatuated.
