Never Judge a Book By Its Cover
Chapter 18
Brian and I sat on the bench right outside the gate to my plane waiting. We had our arms around each other and we kept on kissing. I guess we were trying to make the best of the 10 minutes we had left together. A lot of people were looking at us funny because we kept kissing so much, but neither of us cared. I looked down at my watch and noticed that I only had 3 more minutes with him. That's when the flood gates opened and I broke down and cried into his shoulder. He held me close to him as he tried his hardest to stay strong for me, but I could hear his voice start to shake. I knew he was about to cry, too.
"I love you still," he said rubbing my back as I cried into his shoulder. All I could do was nod. I couldn't get enough strength to say it back to him.
"Brian," I said sitting up and looking into his eyes. "Promise me that you'll always love me. No matter if you're in Germany or in Florida. Promise me that you'll never forget about me."
"Baby, that'll never happen. I could never forget about you. I could never stop loving you either," he said. He paused and looked down at the ground, then back up at me. This time when I looked into his eyes they were all watery. "You'll always be right here in my heart," he said as he put my hand on his chest. A single tear fell from his eyes and I kissed it away.
"Flight 1836 to Chicago is now boarding First Class passangers only. Thank you," came the voice over the intercom. I cried harder as I heard my plane being called to start boarding.
"Baby, it's going to be okay," said Brian holding me close to his chest. He was trying his hardest to hold back the tears.
"No it's not. I need you with me," I said crying even harder. I could feel Brian start to shake, I knew he had to be crying.
"I love you," he whispered so softly that I could barely hear him. I looked up at him right in the eye and smiled at him through my tears. He tried his hardest to smile back. I reached my hand up and pulled his mouth down to mine. I kissed him so gently that I could barely feel it, but it still felt so nice. We pulled away and I touched his lips with my fingers. I moved my hand up his face and wiped the tears that were falling onto his beautiful face.
"Flight 1836 to Chicago is now boarding coach passengers. Thank you," the voice on the intercom said. Those were the words that I had been dreading all day long. I looked at Brian and we both fell into each others arms crying.
"Come on, Kate, we've got to go," said Erika coming over to me with Nick. I looked up at them and they both had red puffy eyes from crying so much. I nodded still in Brian's arms, not wanting to let go. Brian and I both knew that there was no way that I was going to stand up, so he took authority over my actions and stood me up next to him. He was still crying hard, and so I was I. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want to be alone.
"It was fun," said Nick quietly as he gave me a quick hug.
"Yeah," I said trying to dry my tears.
"Keep in touch and take care of Erika for me."
"I will, Nick, don't worry." Nick nodded a thank you and gave me another quick hug. Now it was time to say goodbye to Brian. He took both of my hands in his and looked me in the eye.
"I love you. Don't ever forget that. I will always love you, I promise," he said pulling me closer to him with every word that he said.
"I love you, too. I'll call you as soon as I get home, I promise," I said quietly, trying to fight the tears.
"Here," he said putting his hands behind his neck. He unclasped the necklace he was wearing and placed it into my hand, then closed my hand over it. "I want you to have this." I opened my hand and looked at it. It was his gold "B-Rok" necklace that he hadn't taken off for a second the whole time I was there.
"Brian, I can't take this," I said handing it back to him.
"No," he said clasping it around my neck. "You have to." I leaned up and kissed him.
"Brian, you're so sweet."
"Promise me that you'll always love me."
"I promise Brian. I'll always love you, no matter what happens in either of our lives. You'll always be the first person who opened my heart."
"Final boarding call for flight 1836 to Chicago," the stupid intercom thing said.
"I'd better go, I guess," I said picking up my bag off the chair it had been resting on.
"I love you," said Brian crying again. I cried harder then I ever had before.
"I love you more," I said. He leaned down and kissed me one last time. I never wanted that kiss to end. I wanted us to stay that way forever.
"I love you," I said again. "Always," I said looking into his watery blue eyes.
"Always," he repeated. I then turned and walked slowly through the gate. Just as I was about to step onto the plane, I turned around and looked at him grasping the necklace he had given me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper with something that I had been writing for him for the past 2 days on it. I extended my hand with the paper between my fingers towards him. He looked at me strangly, then walked over and took the slip of paper from my hand.
"Always," I whispered to him before turning and walking onto the plane. I found my seat and slouched down crying and holding onto his necklace, not wanting to let go of him, or of us. I looked out the window and thought I could vaguely see Brian's shape through the window looking out at me and crying.
"Come on B-Rok, we should go. We have to get ready for that photo shoot tonight," said Nick trying to pull Brian away from the window. All he did was nod, still staring at the plane. He followed Nick out of the airport and into his car. Brian looked down at the piece of paper I had given him and held it tighter. He opened it and read it through his tears.
"Brian, Hi sweetie! In case you forgot, I love you. I don't want you to forget that. I'll always love you. It took me a couple days to write this poem, and I don't think it's that great, but its about you. I love you, always.
Laying in your arms I feel completely secure
You are the guy of my dreams of that I am sure
Remembering the day when we first fell in love
I know you were sent from the heavens above
You captured my heart with one incredible look
Your soft blue eyes and perfect smile was all that it took
Before I met you I was far from being whole
After experiencing your love, you completed my soul
You're the shining twinkle that glows in my eyes
You are the only reason that I never sigh
You are the happiness in all of my smiles
For you I would walk more than a million miles
You bring sunshine into the dark dreary night
When I'm with you everything seems to be right
Our love might have been fate or destiny, nobody knows
Maybe that short, stoky cupid shooting arrows I suppose
You make me the happiest that I've ever felt
Whenever I'm with you, you make my heart melt.
I love you with all of me, don't ever forget that Brian. You'll always be in my heart and I'll never forget about you. I'll talk to you soon.
Love always,
Kaitlyn"
Brian folded the paper and stared out the window as he cried.
"I love you," he whispered staring at the sky.
"What?" asked Nick.
"Nothin," Brian said flatly, barely paying attention to him. "Always," he whispered as he placed the letter into his wallet.
