How are you guys liking the story so far? This chapter is a little bit of a look into the past :)

When Jay got back to the district he noticed the familiar blonde sitting at his desk, waiting for him. Her usual flowiy hair was tied up into a messy bun with her sunglasses sitting on top of her head. She had on a pair of leggings and a baggy long sleeve. She smiled at Jay and stood from the chair to give him a tight hug.

"How much did you miss me?!"

"Not a lot." He joked, lifting her off the ground.

"Smartass." She said, punching his shoulder.

"When did you land?"

She had gone to Vegas for Memorial Day weekend with the girls from work, and had been away for five days. Jay wouldn't admit how much he actually missed having her around, he only showed a little bit. They still spoke or Facetimed everyday, and Jay saw on social media just how much fun she was having, at shows, clubs, pool parties, shopping.

"Couple hours ago, our flight came in early."

"Looks like you had a good time, you look refreshed."

"I'm guessing i should take that as a compliment." She laughed.

"How was Magic Mike?" Kim asked.

Olivia and the girls had gone to see the Magic Mike show in Vegas. Jay wasn't so happy about it.

"Oh my god, soooo good. The guys were gorgeous and sweet baby jesus can the dance."

"Guess Jay has a lot of work to do then." Adam played around.

"Don't be a dick Ruz." Jay shot back.

"Anyway, I figured, you'd almost be done with work, so I'd come here and then we can go to dinner or something."

"Uh, yeah sure, let's go."

They ended up at a local pizza place near Jay's apartment.

"so, how much did you really miss me, because as much as I had a blast, I missed you a hell of a lot."

Jay smiled at her.

"I missed you a hell of a lot too. Though, I did enjoy the silence."

"I guess I'll have to go away more often."

"Not with out me." He muttered.

She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Is that an invitation to go away together?"

Jay looked like a deer in headlights, realizing that she had heard him.

"I didn't mean...I mean..."

She put her hand on top of his.

"i'd like to go away with you, and some place that isn't the cabin."

"Okay, uh yeah sure."

"Okay, so where do you wanna go?"

"I... I don't know. I've never really travelled."

She just stared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"You've never travelled?"

"Um no. We didn't have the money growing up, and then I went over seas, and then things go crazy here when I came home and I just never got around to it."

"Well then Halstead, we have a world to explore."

When they got back to Jay's apartment Olivia went right to his closet to take one of his long sleeves and change out of her own to put on his. Jay made them each a cup of coffee and sat on the couch next to her as she opened up his laptop. She scooted closer to his side and put her head on the top of his arm.

"I missed you too much." She said.

He glanced down at her. What did that even mean.

"Yea, me too Livi."

"Okay, so where to first?"

"I don't know you pick."

"Jay, come on. Where do you want to go?"

He shrugged.

"I don't know, I've never really been anywhere."

"Not even Disney as a kid?"

"Nope."

She gave Jay a wide smile.

"Disney has to be our first stop."

Five weeks later, they were standing online, waiting to get into Disney World. Olivia had on a glittery, bedazzled mouse ear head band. Jay refused to wear his plain mouse ears. But Olivia begged and begged and begged and he finally gave in. She snapped a picture of the two of them and then one of Jay alone in front of the entrance to the park. Olivia could tell he was excited, even if he wouldn't want to admit it. They walked down towards the castle and they stopped in front of it. Olivia put her arm around his waist and gave him a side hug.

"Welcome to Disney, Halstead."

The two of them had an absolute blast going on rides, meeting characters, watching parades, eating whatever treats they could find. While the park and it's moments were magical to see and be apart of, the real joy Jay got out of all of this was being there with Olivia. She loved every minute of this and made sure Jay was having the time of his life. By 9pm they headed back to the castle for the firework show. They sat down on the floor, Olivia sitting in between his legs, resting back onto his chest with his arms around her.

"This is my favorite! Tinkerbell flies over us and starts off the whole show!" She said excitedly.

Jay smiled at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing, I love how you're so excited for a floating fairy. I would've pegged you to be the princess type."

"Oh I love all the old school Princesses. Ariel was the reason I went through my red hair phase. But Tinkerbell, that chick is badass. She's sassy, sarcastic, bossy-"

"Sounds like you."

Olivia stuck her tongue out at him.

"She's just awesome, I don't know, the princesses are great and glamorous and royal-"

"Again, like you."

"Shut up, I am not."

He squeezed his arms around her middle and kissed her cheek.

"I'm glad my first trip to Disney was with you."

She leaned back into him.

"First of many trips to anywhere and everywhere."

Olivia had fallen asleep the second her head hit the pillow when they got back to the room, and Jay didn't want to do anything to wake her, so he took a walk around the resort. Olivia insisted they stay at the Grand Floridian. A very fancy and expensive hotel. Something completely out of Jay's league. They were treated like they were famous, and their room was out of control, especially for two people. He couldn't imagine how much it was costing per night. Olivia had made a deal with Jay which backfired for him but her plan worked for her. She'd book everything on her card and Jay would give her cash. Except the only thing she let him pay for was his airfare, which probably costed pennies compared to all this. Jay wondered into the gift shop and was greeted by the cashier.

"Good evening sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uh no thanks."

"Not a problem, you say the word and it would be my pleasure to assist you."

Jay walked around and grabbed some drinks, a couple snacks, he picked up a couple magazines for Olivia to read while they laid by the pool tomorrow. At the end of one of the isles was a little Tinkerbell figurine that was covered and glitter. jay smiled and picked it up and placed it on the counter with the rest of his things. When he got back to the room he placed the pint sized figurine on the night table next to Olivia's side of the bed, and then climbed into bed himself.

When Olivia woke the next day and saw it she smiled widely and hugged him.

"This is perfect! She's adorable!"

"Tinkerbell really does remind me of you."

"I'm gonna take that as a compliment." She hopped out of bed, " Get dressed, let's get breakfast and get drunk by the pool and get some sun."

"It's 7:45 in the morning!"

"Move it or lose it Halstead! I want a good spot to lounge!" She called.

That day they spent their eighth and final day, relaxing in the sun before having to head back to Chicago and all the craziness that came along with it. Jay never realized what he missed out on growing up, but he felt really grateful and happy, that someone who had been in his life for almost a year, had gone out of her way to make this trip so special and more than he could have ever imagined it to be. He wasn't sure it was all related to the magic of Disney as much as it was more like it was the magic of Olivia, this blonde, sassy, sarcastic, put together, classic, elegant woman. Someone who brought the magic back into his life, just when he had thought he had lost it all.
