Eight

The metro went too quickly for AJ’s liking. Sooner than he preferred, they were in front of the Marina Hotel once more. The group went into the lobby and said their goodbyes.

“What time is your flight tomorrow?” AJ asked, his fingers still intertwined with Samara’s.

“It’s really early. Seven in the morning,” Samara said apologetically. “We have to leave here around four-thirty in order to be on time.”

“Samara…” He framed her face in his hands, resting his forehead against hers. How could he let her leave? His heart felt as if concrete had been poured over it, making it impossible to beat.

“Perhaps we should exchange contact information now, huh?” she whispered. He could hear a sob beginning to form.

“I don’t want you to go,” AJ returned just as softly.

Samara took a deep breath, and then buried her face in his chest. AJ held her fast to him, his face concealed by the top of her head. He loved her. He loved this woman. Somewhere deep inside him, he knew she loved him in return. It wasn’t right they had to be separated like this.

“I’ll be here in the morning,” he vowed. “Don’t worry about the taxi; I’ll get it for you. Four-thirty.”

“Thank you,” Samara said. “But you don’t have to, though—”

“I do,” AJ murmured, kissing her temple. “You know I do. We’ll exchange information then.”

She nodded and pulled back, sliding trembling fingers along his cheeks. They then went across his lips and his nose, and his eyelids fluttered shut.

“Wow, I’m going to miss you,” she sighed.

“Not for long,” AJ said, lifting up his mouth to kiss her palm. “We won’t be separated for long.”

AJ bent his head and kissed her softly before she could respond. “Sweet dreams, Samara. See you in a few hours.”

Both he and Spyros were solemn and quiet on their way to their flat building.

“Are you coming with me tomorrow morning?” AJ asked when they reached their individual doors.

“Yeah,” Spyros said. “I’d like to say goodbye.”

AJ nodded once. “Then I suggest we’d get some sleep.”

As soon as he entered his flat, he placed a call to a local taxi service and requested a pick up at four in the morning in front of the flat building. Afterwards, he undressed and climbed into bed, but he was too wired to rest. His mind kept thinking of the life he had begun to plan with Samara since seeing her in the market. Five days? Five days might as well be five minutes as far as AJ was concerned. It wasn’t long enough, yet he shouldn’t be ungrateful for God’s gift. That was what Samara was, a gift. His and his alone. How could he in good conscience let her get on that plane to fly out of his life for who knew how long? He would, though, because it was to be.

For now.

“It’s not over,” he whispered to his dark ceiling. He thought he could still smell her, could still feel her warmth as she had curled up next to him in slumber the night before.
