Sitting in the airport was probably one of your least favorite things to do, just sitting and waiting. Although you found it interesting to watch people from all over the world come and go. After a while, everyone settled down in the terminal and the once fascinating people took out their phones letting time slip through their fingers.

Crossing one of your legs over the other, you felt a vibration on your leg. Dropping your eyes down to your phone that sat on your thigh, you furrowed your brow slightly wondering why your screen on your phone was lit up. Sliding your finger over the screen, you unlocked it with ease as you tapped on the unread message.

The phone opened the app as your eyes instinctively dropped to the bottom of the conversation to see the new message.

I hope you have a good trip, sweetheart. Call me when you land xoxo -Tom

Reading over the message, you couldn’t help but let a smile pull on your lips. Cradling your phone between your hands, you positioned your thumbs so that they could reply as you heard your flight being called over the intercom. Standing up, you gathered your bags and headed towards the gate. Watching the passengers leave the tunnel and enter into the terminal, you clutched your bags a little tighter as your fingers ran over the ticket in your hand.

Taking your turn, you finally walked down the tunnel to the plane, stepping into the steel bird, you found a window seat and placed your luggage overhead. Slipping into your seat, you pulled out your phone and some earphones that you had slipped into your pocket a few hours prior.

Reopening up the message, you smiled and noticed that another message had been sent but this time it was a picture of him kissing the camera. Finding your boyfriend, Thomas, too adorable for words, you snapped a picture of you on the plane and sent it to him before the staff scolded you for having your phone out.

The ride on the plane was enjoyable, the take off was always the best part, with slightly turbulence during the ride, you caught up on a little paperwork for the business trip you were heading to. Catching a little nap on the flight as well, you landed in London a few hours later.

Gathering everything up, you slipped your books into your backpack and your phone into your back pocket as you waited your turn to file off of the plane. Grabbing your luggage overhead, you stepped off of the plane and walked down the tunnel, relieving your aching legs from sitting for so long.

Once you were in the London terminal, you found a little quiet spot to pull out your phone and call your boyfriend. Dialing his number, you pressed your phone against your ear while the ringing tone sounded in your ear.

“Hey Girlfriend” Thomas answered the phone in an American girly girl accent causing you to instantly laugh.

“Hey Bae” You copied his accent causing him to laugh, “What’s up?”

“Nothing much, just looking at you~” Thomas sang softly as your eyes lifted from your luggage beside you to the faces around you.

“W-What do you mean?” You stammered, knowing he was back home working on some new music. Scanning the crowd, the masses of people parted to reveal Thomas standing there, raising up his hand, he waved at you with a smile.

“See?” He told you over the phone, you slowly dropped the phone from your ear as you slipped it into your back pocket before walking over to him, dropping your bags a few feet from him, you trotted into his open embrace.

“Why are you here?” You questioned as your head nuzzled into his chest.

“I thought we both could use a little vacation” Thomas rubbed your back slowly as his head gently rested on yours.

“I wish I could… but I have to work” You told him when you pulled back from the hug and gazing up into his beautiful eyes.

“Well… I sort of bought you the ticket and told your company that you were going on a vacation and I sent you that email informing you of your “trip”…” Thomas explained shortly as he gently bit down on his bottom lip.

“Are you serious? I am on vacation with you, in London?” You questioned, excitement growing within.

“We can do anything you want” Thomas smiled and nodded

“You really are the best!” You exclaimed, giving him another quick hug, his hand slipped into yours before the two of you walked over and grabbed your bag off of the ground and headed with you towards the exit.

Chatting about the trip over the two of you made your way out of the terminal and into the parking garage. Unlocking the white car from a distance, he lead you to the loaner car, opening your door for you, you slid into your seat before he placed your bags in the back seat with his. Slipping into the drivers seat, he turned towards you with a smile playing on his lips.

“What would you like to do first?” Thomas smiled as his fingers gently brushed against your hand.

“Hrmmmm, we could drive around a little. I have always wanted to see some of the sights” You tapped your finger against your lips for a moment as your mind wondered over what you both could do.

“Sounds good to me” He smiled and turned the key in the ignition before he backed out of the spot and maneuvered through the garage. Turning on the radio, you surfed the channels, humming to a song here and there you watched the scenery change outside your window with each passing mile.

From the wide open countryside to the beautiful history of the city streets, the two of you drive hundreds of miles around London. Parking the loaner car in the city, the two of you got out and decided to stretch your legs a little.

Linking hands with Thomas, the two of you walked down the cobblestone streets, drinking in the cute shops lining the streets, the cafes on every corner and the sweet smell of pastries and candies filled the air around the two of you. Smiles played on your lips while the two of you traveled deeper and deeper into the heart of the city. Finding a few cute little trinkets, Thomas bought them for you after you told him that you didn’t have to have it. In his mind if he could buy you the world, he would.

Wondering through the entire city, the two of you walked along sidewalks and trails going every which way between hopping on buses and catching taxi’s here and there, not knowing where it would leave but that was part of the adventure, part of the trip. Following this one sidewalk around, the two of you walked alongside a beautiful stream that turned into a raging river. The sunlight started to fade, streetlamps started to flicker on with the passing minutes, sitting down on a wooden bench. Thomas shrugged off his jacket and helped you slip your arms through it before your head rested on his shoulder.

Resting one of his hands on your leg, his thumb brushed over your thigh ever so slowly while the two of you watched the light fade slowly, pastel colors painting over the darkening sky while they reflected on the river below.

Stars soon replaced the white fluffy clouds in the sky as the two of you watched the sun fully disappear below the horizon.

“I’m so glad that I am here with you” You whispered into the quiet air between the two of you.

“Me too, there is no where I would rather be” He whispered, pressing a kiss on the crown of your head. “Would you like to go back to the hotel, maybe pick up some dinner on the way and then plan tomorrow?”

“That sounds lovely” You lifted your head off of his shoulder and pressed a soft kiss on his cheek.

Slowly, his hand lifted to tuck some stray hairs behind your ear. Gazing into one another eyes a moment, you watched his lips pull away from his teeth, his cheeks tinting a soft blush while his eyes twinkled under the moonlight. Looking down slightly, he ran his tongue over his lips before he stood up.

Standing up with him, you stayed close to him while the two of you headed back towards the city. Catching a double decker bus, the two of you traveled past all of the sights that you saw on foot, the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Eye, Buckinham palace, and a few others along the way back to your car. 

Your head rested on his shoulder as his arm wrapped around your shoulders and pulled you closer to his warm body. Snaking your arms around his torso, you tried to keep him warm as the two of you finally stopped at the stop closest to where Thomas parked the loaner car.

“Sweetie, we’re here” He whispered as he woke you slightly as the bus came to a stop. Nodding your head sleepily, you sat up and followed Thomas as he pulled you slightly towards the car. Rubbing your eyes, you shuffled a couple of blocks before the two of you located your car.

Unlocking the car, he opened your door and helped you into the passenger seat. Leaving your door open, he rummaged around in his luggage before he pulled out another jacket and slipped it over his head. Grabbing a blanket from his bag, he returned to your door and laid his blanket over your lap after buckling you in.

Closing all of the doors, he slipped into the drivers’ seat and turned the car on. The chilling air of the night slowly melting away as you pulled the blanket up around your chin. Thomas’ scent slowly crept into your nose, letting your eyes flickered closed you trusted your boyfriend to get you two to the hotel. Hearing his soft voice fill the car to the songs on the radio, you rested your eyes and felt the car turn and move throughout the streets.

A little while later, he pulled into a parking space and turned his head to see you fast asleep in the seat. Wondering if he should just leave you, he leaned over and pressed his lips against your cheek.

“We’re here” He whispered as he turned off the car and slowly your arm with his chilled fingers.

“Are we there yet?” You whispered, slowly opening your eyes.

“We are” Thomas smiled and opened the door, gathering up the bags from the back, he helped you out of the passenger seat and the two of you headed towards the large hotel in front of you.

Thomas talked with the nice elderly lady on the other side of the lobby desk as a nice bellman carried your bags up to the designated room. Opening up the door, you looked around the quint room, with just a queen sized bed in the center of the room, a chair in the corner and a tv on the wall. A bathroom was attached to the room along with a large closet but the view that was shown between the parted curtains. Thomas thanked the bellman and tipped him a little for the service as you walked over to the window, drinking in the breathtaking views of the hotel.

“Isn’t it pretty?” You boyfriend called from behind you after you heard the door close

“It is gorgeous, both day and night” You whispered as your eyes slowly drifted over the lights that seemed to never end.

“It is, but so are you” He whispered right next to your ear before he placed a soft kiss right behind your ear. His arms slowly wrapped around your torso as he pulled his body against yours.

“So… what do you want to do now?” He whispered ever so softly as your hands rested over his, one of your fingers brushing over the ring over his finger.

“How does some cuddles sound?” You questioned, tilting your head back against his shoulder.

“Hrmmm, I think I will pass” He slowly pulled away and turned around before going over to his bag and looking for his pajamas.

“P-Pass?” You questioned, turning your head to look at him as you rested your hand on your hip, confused as to what you just heard. “In that case, I am going to shower”

You walked past Thomas as his head turned your direction as you grabbed some pajamas and headed to shower.

After your warm and relaxing shower, you walked out of the bathroom balancing a towel on your head, you gathered up your day clothes in your arms and walked out, placing those clothes in your arms on your bag. Your eyes lifted to see Thomas laying on his side across the Queen sized bed, his eyes lifted up to yours as his head rested on the palm of his hand.

Turning around, you headed back into the bathroom and combed out your wet hair. Once you were done, you turned off the light to the bathroom and leaned against the doorway.

“Did you have fun today?” Thomas’ eyes gazed up at you as you nodded

“Mostly…” You told him softly as you padded over to the bed and sat on top of the duvet, folding your legs under you, he sat up a little.

“Just mostly? What more do you want to do?” He questioned, his eyes getting wider not wanting to disappoint you.

“Something you don’t want to do…” You whispered, playing with the drawstrings on your pajama bottoms

“And what would that be?” He questioned, putting away his book and sliding it on top of the bedside table.

“Cuddling…” You whispered softly

“Now when did I ever say that” He smiled lovingly at you, slipping under the covers, her opened his arms as you crawled over to him and wrapped your arms around you. “I was only teasing,before”

“I never know with you” You told him honestly as he rubbed your back gently.

“I have to be a little unpredictable” He chuckled, turning off the lamp that lit up the room.

“True… I do like your surprises..” You yawned as your body relaxed against his.

“Good, cause I love yours too” He whispered, slipping deeper under the covers.

“What are my surprises?” You asked curiously, your eyes sliding closed just to listen to his beating heart and to feel the rise and fall of his chest.

“Your eyes, your smile, your loving touch, you kisses, your laughter” Thomas listed off numerous qualities but they fell on deaf ears as he glanced down at you already fast asleep on him.

“Stupid jet lag” He muttered to himself before pulling the covers up on you and watched you a little longer before he fell asleep himself. His heart content beating next to yours.
