Chapter 25
Shadow POV
Tears welled up in my eyes and I launched myself into his arms. His arms wrapped around me rubbing my back softly between my wings. I buried my face in his chest my arms tightly around his neck.
"Please. Please don't go" I whispered a few tears rolling down my cheeks. He rested his head on top of mine sighing.
"I wont be gone long. A month at the most. I want to get to know my family" He moved his head and tilted mine up. He stared down at me. His midnight blue eyes staring directly into my chocolate brown ones.
"Don't cry Shadow. I can't stand to see you cry" He mumbled wiping away a tear with his thumb. I nodded softly looking at him.
"Just remember one thing" I whispered, "I love you too" Before he could speak again I leaned forward pressing my lips to his. He was shocked at first but slowly melted into the kiss pulling me closer.
I pressed myself against him falling a scum to his touch. His hands were firmly on the middle of my back keeping me pressed against him. I turned my head to deepen the kiss, twisting my fingers in his black hair. Before we could get to serious I pulled away. My breathing was heavy and ragged but I was smiling. Or at least forcing one.
"I'll get to talk to you soon right?" I asked sliding my hands down to his shoulders. He nodded kissing my forehead.
"I've got my laptop. Video chat me when ever you want" I stepped out of his embrace and nodded tears still in the brim of my eyes. Before I could say anything else I turned and took off running. I jumped and spread my wings taking off into the sky.
I caught up with the flock in no time. They noticed my flushed face and red eyes but didn't say anything. I gave my wings a hard stroke and flew past them.
Once we landed at the hotel I climbed onto the couch and buried my head in the pillow for the night. I miss him so much…
