Chapter 21 *
The next morning, Kirsten and Matt are at the airport. Kirsten said goodbye to everyone else at the breakfast bash they set up for her.
"I don't want to go home." Kirsten whined.
Matt hugged her, "I know, I don't want you to go either, but your job is calling ya."
Kirsten spots some girl looking in their direction. She doesn't have a good feeling about that one.
"I'll call you when we get to our next stop." Matt looked into Kirsten's eyes. "What's that look for?"
"I dunno Matt, that girl over there keeps on glaring at me."
Matt turns around but doesn't see who Kirsten's talking about. He looks back to Kirsten. "Which one?"
"She went into the bathroom. I don't know…something's not right about that one." Kirsten started to laugh, "I'm probably just making a big deal about nothing."
Matt cupped Kirsten's face in his hands. "I love you."
Tears formed in Kirsten's eyes and started to roll down her face. Matt thumbed them away. "I love you too." She stands on her toes to give Matt a kiss.
Someone taps Matt on the shoulder, the kiss was broken.
"Can I help you?" Kirsten asked the same woman who she was talking about early.
"You can't..."
Matt's eyes widened and slowly turned around. His mouth dropped as he saw the woman in front of him. She hasn't changed a bit.
"I knew it was you when I saw you Matthew."
Kirsten looked at Matt and then the girl.
"Ok…someone care to fill me in on how you two know each other?"
"Matt and I go way back." The girl stated rudely.
"Rachel, why don't you just go?" Matt returned her rude attitude.
Kirsten's eyes widened and looked at Matt, "Rachel? That's Rachel?"
"Oh, so he's talked about me. That doesn't surprise me."
Kirsten's flight was boarding, she missed the first boarding call. She kept on looking back and forth between Matt and Rachel. She couldn't believe he dated….that. Rachel was the cause of all of their trust issues. Kirsten wanted to rip her head off.
"Rachel, I have nothing to say to you, you aren't even worth my time, if you will excuse me, I'd like to say goodbye to my girlfriend in peace." Matt took Kirsten's hand and they walked over to the gate. There were no words spoken, Kirsten kissed Matt one more time, whispered stuff into his ear. She reluctantly left Matt, as she gave the lady her ticket; she turned and looked at Matt. She waved, blew him a kiss and turned around.
Rachel walked up to Matt as Kirsten turned around one more time. She gave Kirsten a little wave. Kirsten gave her a nasty glare. Matt thought Kirsten was looking at him like that. He was confused. She pointed for him to turn around, and saw Rachel there. The last thing Kirsten saw when she was forced to board the plane was Matt yelling at Rachel. At least that comforted her a little bit.
