My eyes open as I am met with the sound of my alarm going off. I get out of bed and open the blinds looking out to the New York skyline. This is the last time that I will be waking up to this. It has been three weeks since my husband left for Seattle. I miss him so much and finally today I will get to see him.
I get into the shower and get ready to head to the airport. We hired movers to come and bring the rest of our things to Seattle and it is already there. The funiture here came with the house so Derek bought all new stuff and I fully trusted him in his decisions. We decided to rent a house in toen near the hospital until we found the perfect piece of land to build our dream house on.
Eight hours later I land in Seattle where I'm starting my new life with my husband. I walk out of the terminal and search for the curly dark hair that I feel in love with. I spot him only a few seconds later holding flowers. I smile at the site of him and he smiles back. I start walking faster and eventually I end up running into his arms.
"Hi..." He says after a few seconds.
"Hi. I missed you so much."
"I missed you too, but now we are here together."
"Can we go get my bag and then go home? I want to spend some alone time with you."
"Of course, but I kindof hade a surprise for you."
"Well we can do that also long as it is just you and me."
"Ok then let's go."
After getting my bag Derek and I head out to his new Porsche that he bought since he needed a car. He puts my bag in the back and then opens the car door for me. He gets into the driver's seat and carefully backs the car out of the parking spot. I turn on the radio and laugh when I am met by Clash.
"Sorry I was in a good mood today because you were coming here so I was rocking out to it since this morning."
"It's ok. I kind of have to admit I missed it."
"Seriously?"
"Well yeah I missed you so therefore I missed Clash because Clash is you."
"I love you." He says grabing my hand and resting it on his lap.
"I love you too. So what is this surprise?"
"You will just have to wait and see."
We pull up to the ferry docks 30 minutes later.
"Ferryboats?"
"This is just an added bonus the real surprise is after we get off. Want to go up?"
"Sure."
We head up to the top deck to watch the water move by as the ferry moves. I'm leaning on the railing infront of me and Derek wraps his arms around me.
"It is nice to have you in my arms again."
"Hmm it feels nice being in your arms. It was so hard to sleep without you since you left."
"Yeah it has been the same for me too. Sorry I couldn't get tomorrow off."
"It's ok. I need to go talk to the cheif and get everything ready for the next day."
"Maybe we can get lunch together."
"I would love to."
"Good you can just page me when you are done. I should be in my office. Maybe I can give you to unofficial tour."
"Sounds good. Let's go back to the car so we can get to this surprise."
We get back to the car and drive to the surprise. When we get to a dirt road I start to get worried about where he is taking me. We pull up to a huge green space with a view of the habor and Seattle. We get out of the car and walk hand in hand to the edge of the cliff.
"Wow it is beautiful."
"This is what I thought when I found this. Two days after arriving in Seattle I came out here to just get away. I missed you so much. I was walking out here and found it was for sale. I called the realtor and bought it."
"What?"
"We want to build our dream house and this is perfect for that."
"It is. I love it. You did such and amazing job."
"Just wait until you see the apartment."
"Let's go home."
