Chapter 5: I Want You
"Hey, is this yours?" – He asked as he got closer.
"Yeah, why?" – The man answered.
"I was thinking… could you give me a ride?"
"Oh, I don't do rides"
"You have an helicopter and don't take rides?" – He began to get angry – "Look, just tell me how much I have to pay you"
"I'm not doing rides"
"Please, I'm begging you. I need to go to France and…"
"France?"
"Yeah. My wife ran away to there and I need to tell her how important she is to me"
"Well…"
"Please. Please"
"I'll regret it ,but ok. I'll take you"
"Thank you. Thank you so much"
They smiled.
"How much do I own you?"
"Nothing. Consider this a favor to a man in love"
"Thank you"
They get in the helicopter and go to France. Meanwhile, Abby is waiting for John in the airport when somebody puts a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump.
"Did I scare you?"
"No, no"
"Matt"
"Abby"
"Nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too"
They shook hands.
"First time here?"
"No. I stayed a week here and my fiancé proposed to me here"
"Fiancé? So you're engaged?"
"Not necessarily. I'm married. But we fought"
"Then would you like some coffee?"
"Actually, he asked me to wait for him here. He wants to see me. And I want so see him too. I'm sorry"
"It's ok"
She turned to face the landing area. Soon enough he would be there. She quickly noticed her daughter was with her when she looked at her. Then she picked her up in her arms.
"You miss daddy? You know, he's coming. Then maybe we can be a family again" – She saw Phoebe open her mouth – "Are you sleepy? Mommy is gonna change you and put you to sleep"
And with that she went to the baby's room to take care of her. 20 minutes later they come back to the waiting area.
How much longer will he take? It's been an hour and a half. I'm starving and tired.
Then she decided to sit down and picked her daughter before sleeping. Two hours later, she woke up with a soft touch in her face and a calm voice calling for her. It was him.
