Meanwhile, at the airport, Morgan waited patiently for Amity and at her side, sat Joel. Morgan had called him late last night, and over the phone the two had taken their first steps towards reconciliation. Though Morgan was devoted to upholding her promise to Amity, she was terribly worn out from waiting, and Joel's moaning, though intermittent, was grating on her nerves. To make things worse, two girls who obviously recognised Joel had been watching them like hungry wolves, ever since they'd come in. Usually, this wouldn't bother Morgan, shed just brush it off or tell Joel to hurry up and give them autographs and be done with it. But now, as the girls continued their relentless staring, giggling and pointing, Morgan's mood took a serious turn to the worse.

"I can't believe them!" She scowled.

"Can't believe what?" Joel asked innocently.

'Oh like he doesn't know!' She thought angrily.

"Those stupid girls" She snapped.

Joel looked blank.

"Joel! Where have you been all this time? They've been giggling and making googly eyes at you ever since we sat down! It's so fucking rude!!"

"Morgan, for fucks sake! Chill out" Joel coaxed, taking her hand and gently intertwining his fingers in hers.

Morgan relaxed tremendously; she loved it when he did this.

He softly kissed her forehead as she leaned into him.

"Beside, if anyone should be complaining its me, we've been here almost an hour now…"

Morgan knew he was only kidding, but none the less, she felt her temperature rise.

'Why did he always have to go and ruin the moment?' She fumed and got up from her seat.

"I'm going to try and call Amity, see where she's at" She said, and abruptly left.

Though he was confused, Joel had come to expect this sort of thing from Morgan.

'One minute we're close and then…'

"Hey, you're Joel from Good Charlotte aren't you?"

Joel looked up to see two girls of about 17, staring down at him. They had pen and paper in hand, and each wore an eager and hopeful look on their face. Joel, no stranger to these types of fans, knew this look well. It was almost as though they expected something a little more than an autograph or a picture.

As Joel took the paper and pens mechanically from their hands and began the gruelling task of making small talk, he kept thinking of Morgan. After the fight they'd had last night, Joel had spent the entirety of the night in turmoil. All he wanted in the world was Morgan, and last night he'd come dangerously close to ruining all of that.

"So that girl you were with…was she your girlfriend?" One girl asked.

"Yeah?" chimed the other.

'That's none of your fucken business' was what he thought.

"Uh, yeah, she was" was what he replied.

"Awww, that's too bad" The first girl spoke again.

'Not for me it ain't' He thought, giving both the girls a once over with his eyes.

Joel usually never allowed himself the luxury of such thoughts; he knew it was mean and therefore tried not to do it. But the sheer audacity of these girls…

"She didn't look too happy a minute ago, did you guys have a fight?" The other girl filled in, as she took a step closer.

Now getting the picture, Joel, wanting no more to do with either of these girls, and longing terribly for Morgan, began working towards letting them both down gently.

From where Morgan stood, she saw Joel's lips moving, and a shy innocent smile spread across his face.

'Those little bitches' She thought.

She was jealous until Joel looked over to her, and then, instead of seeming guilty, he appeared nothing but relieved. He waved her over quickly, in fact, almost desperately. She noted, as she made her wave over to him.

As soon as the girls saw her, they fled like sprats from a shark.

"You're back" Joel said gratefully and embraced her.

"And not a moment too soon" She smiled. Seeing Joel so obviously uncomfortable around those girls, made Morgan come to see just how much he both loved and valued her.

"Joel, I love you" She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged his chest.

"Girl, I love you too" He laughed confidently; secretly wishing that Morgan didn't hear his heart, as it now beat double speed.

"Did you get through to Amity?" He asked

"No, I didn't" She answered without a hint of frustration in her voice.

All her life's problems fell away when she was with Joel.

"What do you say we get outta here? Get some…" She looked at her watch.

"Lunch…and go back to your place"

"Sound's like a plan…Uh ok, I'm vibrating" He said and reached into his pants pocket.

"Hurry, it might be Amity" Morgan said, urging for him to hurry up and find his phone.

"Hello?" He said.

It was Benji.

"Who is it?" Morgan asked frantically.

"It's Benj" Joel retorted.

"Oh ask him if…" She began, but Joel held his finger up to her to stop.

"Say that again?" He asked Benji.

As Morgan watched, Joel's facials went from puzzled to staggered, and as he hung up, he looked to her for an explanation.

 "Benji says to tell you thank you for beating the crap outta him, and says that him and Amity are now together"

"Morgan, Amity and Benji?" Joel couldn't believe he'd missed that one.

"She did it" Morgan said, more to herself than Joel.

"Did what?

Morgan hurriedly relayed the details of her and Amity's conversations, and then their 'restroom' pact.

Joel gave her his undivided attention, but had to break, to laugh at her for the whole 'pact' thing.

"Babe, you're so cute" He playfully kissed her on the cheek and hugged her again. Over his shoulder, Morgan could see that the two girls were still there!

"Joel, those girls are still watching us"

"Let them watch" He said, and kissed her deeply.

It was one of the most passionate kisses Morgan had ever experienced with Joel, and when they were finished, she was dying for more.

"Joel" She said weakly.

"Yeah" he replied.

"I'm ready to meet your mother now"

"Yeah?" He was so chuffed.

"Yeah, this time I really am"
