Chapter 11Alyssa's POVOur week together passed too fast, soon it was done and over with. We were both at the airport holding each other like if we let go we'd never see each other again.
His plane went off in one direction and mine was the opposite, he had to fly out to TX while I was going back home. He told me he'd be back in a week if I wanted to stay and have a little more time with him but I opted to leave.
North Carolina wasn't my home, his house wasn't mine. I couldn't just sit around and live there like I belonged. And god help me try and drive his hummer if I had to go somewhere. I was a taxi and subway kinda girl, my driving skills were limited.
"We're doing a few shows in NY in April, but I don't want to wait that long to see you again." Shannon squeezed me tight speaking into my neck.
"I'll figure out a way to visit or maybe your two days off you can come to NY and see me." I suggested
"I like that idea." He finally smiled as he pulled back from our embrace. "I'll call you tonight to make sure you got home safely okay?"
"I'll be fine, now go before you miss your flight." I literally had to get behind him and start pushing him.
"Okay, okay I'll go...after one more kiss." I rolled my eyes playfully and gave him what I planned on being a little peck. It turned into almost a repeat of my birthday.
"Vaya, vaya!" (Go, go) I waved my hands trying to make him go. "Will it be easier if I go first?" I asked him turning to leave. I started walking towards my gate as he yelled out.
"I love you!"
"I love you too." I replied with a huge smile on my face, even though I was leaving him I was happy to hear those three words.
I was in the air for about 2 1/2 hours which is great. I hate sitting in a cramped spot for too long. When I got my luggage, I saw a guy holding a sign with my name on it. "I'm Alyssa" I said with caution as he smiled.
"Right this way then ma'am. Your ride a waits."
I followed him outside as he took my bags from me and lead me to a black town car. "I didn't order this." I said not even thinking it was possible that Shannon would've done it.
"I know ma'am, Mr. Moore called this morning. A gift awaits you inside." He opened the door as I got in sitting down to see first a tinkerbell throw blanket. I started laughing, tinkerbell was my all time favorite cartoon character; I was actually thinking of getting her tattooed somewhere on my body.
Then I noticed a box with holes in it. I didn't want to get my hopes up but was hoping for some kind of animal. Pulling off I opened it to see the most beautiful little yorkie looking right back up at me.
"OH MY GOD!! Come to mommy." I took her out of the box and held her to my chest. She was beautiful, I was in love. I held her in one hand and pulled a note out of the box.
Merry
Christmas, I hope you like your gifts Love you, Shannon.
You're constantly messing
with Oz
So I figured why not get you a dog of your own
Hope
you like her, I wasn't sure you'd want such a prissy dog.
But
you're perfect together, both beautiful, both small
both have a
lot of bite...I heard she bit the person I sent to pick her up.
When we stopped I told the guy I could get my bags myself but he informed me 'Mr. Moore' paid him extra to carry my bags to my apartment.
I walked inside with my baby, I decided to name her Lilo. Yeah I know it's not that originally and it's from a Disney movie but I had time to be original when I actually had kids.
I plopped down on my bed and grabbed my phone as Lilo snuggled up next to me.
"Hello?" Shannon's voice came through my phone.
"I love you, I love you, I love you." He started laughing.
"I take it you liked your gift? What'd you name her?"
"Lilo." I smiled proudly.
"Isn't that the blue things name in the Disney movie?"
"No, it's the little girl's name in the movie."
We talked for about an hour then hung up; I was so excited to have a puppy. I've always wanted one but just never got to getting one. "Come on I need to get you some things." I told her putting her into my purse and walking to the nearest pet store.
