The day was spent with lots more kisses and a ride on the Ferris wheel. Dean dropped Julie off at her hotel and promised to pick her up at eight AM. True to his word, he picked her up a little before eight and they went out for breakfast before going to Six Flags.
They spent the day going on all the rides and kissing. The next day was more of the same. The rest of the week that Julie was in Chicago, the two spent at Portman's house. Today's the day that Julie's going back to Maine. She was meeting her dad in Dean's dad's office. As they walked off the elevator, Dean had his arm around Julie's shoulders, and she had her arm around his waist. The receptionist, Rachel, looked up and glared at Julie. "Hey Rachel, is my dad in?"
"Yes, he is. So Dean, since your friend here is leaving in a few hours, how about we do something tonight?"
"Sorry, I have to start packing up all my stuff for school."
"Sounds like what I'll be doing," Julie commented.
"Well, let's go see our fathers."
"If we must."
Rachel continued to glare at Julie until she disappeared behind the closed door. As she quit drooling over Portman and got back to work, Dean and Julie settled in on the couch. Chris and Anthony finished up the final paperwork for whatever it was that they were working on. "Well Julie, did you like Chicago?" Anthony asked.
"Very much!"
"Dean, was it that bad showing Julie around?"
"Not at all Dad, not at all."
The Portman's and Gaffney's arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. As their father's sat around waiting for the Gaffney's flight, Dean and Julie walked over to one of the gift shops at O'Hare airport. While Julie picked up things for the flight, Dean kept pulling her to him and kissing her. "I'm gonna miss you all week," Dean said as she paid for her magazines, gum, and other things.
"I'll miss you too, but I'll also be busy packing up all of my stuff," Julie replied.
"Well, not all of it," Dean said, referring to the box of things that he was taking to Eden for her.
"Allow me to thank you again for that," Julie replied, then pulled him into a hot, passion-filled kiss.
"Anytime, as long as that's the thanks I'll get."
"Count on it, darlin', count on it," Julie said as they joined hands and walked back over to their fathers.
