The next day, my bummed-out mood is still hovering over me like a rain cloud. I’m a mix of emotion right now as I drive Dex to the airport. The rest of the team grabbed an Uber but Dex asked me if I wouldn’t mind taking him. I think he just wants a private make-out session in the car before he has to go. That, or he just knows I need some last minute Dex time.

While I haven’t come out and told him that I’m nervous and antsy about him traveling, I think he can tell I’m on edge.

“When does your flight land?” I ask.

“Around nine. I’ll text you when we land so you don’t have to worry,” he squeezes my hand that he is already holding.

I smile my thanks as I signal the car into the airport parking lot.

“I know you don’t like that I’m gonna be out of town this weekend, but it’ll be fine, babe. Promise.” He tells me.

I sigh, “I know, I’m just antsy. I’ll miss you.” I’m really not trying to sound whiney. I really hate feeling this way, but I do.

As I pull into the drop-off lane, I ask, “Will we be able to talk at all while you’re gone?” I worry my bottom lip between my teeth.

The car comes to a stop and I put it in park as he unbuckles his seatbelt. “Probably not a lot over the phone, but we can text.” He leans over to me and places his hand on the back of my head, pulling me to him.

“Kiss me and smile for me, babe. ‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane,” he smiles a sexy, crooked grin.

“God, how old are you? Like fifty?” I laugh.

“Ever since you made me watch Armaggedon, I’ve been itching to use that line. Ben is a stud in that movie.” He barely finishes his sentence before pressing his lips into mine.

The kiss turns heated fast but doesn’t last nearly as long as I want. He draws away and smiles.

“I’ve gotta get going.” He leans back in and kisses my forehead, “I’ll see you in a few days.” He climbs out of the car as I pop the trunk. He makes fast work of grabbing his suitcase and then shuts the trunk. He walks back to the car and leans in the passenger side window looking way too sexy and cool. “Here’s looking at you, kid.” He winks.

I can’t help but laugh. “I don’t think that’s how the line is actually used in the movie.”

“Maybe not, but it sounded good. Later, Morgan,” he knocks a fist on the top of the car and heads into the airport.

The smile fades on my face and a sigh escapes my lips. “You can do this, Morgan. Put your big girl panties on. He’s only gone for a few days.” Now, if only this pep talk will work.
