The weekend passed by quickly, too quickly. Before you knew it, it was Sunday evening and Kirsten was in her hotel room, packing her stuff, there was a knock on the door and she yelled "Come in"

"Hey baby" Sandy said as he entered her room.

"Hello to you too" she said and stopped with the packing and went over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

Sandy's eyes landed on her suitcase, he sighed and held her closer to him.

"Can't believe you're leaving" he murmured into her hair. Kirsten pulled away from him and stared into his eyes, wanting him to understand.

"Sandy, we are not going through this again. You know I have to go back, I have a job to do" she said, but he looked so sad…

"I know…I just…I want you to be here with me" he explained and pulled her closer to him yet again. Kirsten's head was resting against his shoulder while she stared at the wall behind him.

She didn't want to leave, but she had no choice, she couldn't take vacation, she was needed at the office.

"I will fly here on Friday afternoon, after work" she whispered into his ear and he responded by tighten his grip around her small body.

"I'll call you every day" he promised and she smiled at his sweet words.

"Good" she replied. She didn't want to let go, but she had to finish packing or she would miss her plane.

Kirsten slowly got herself out of Sandy's arms and went back to the bed, not looking at him, she didn't want him to see the tears that were forming in her eyes.

They stayed quiet for a few minutes until she had all her things packed and had her jacket on and was ready to leave. She sighed heavily and turned to Sandy, who had been sitting on a chair and been watching her.

"I have to go" she said and he got up and walked passed her and picked up her bag.

"Let me at least give you a ride to the airport" he said and she smiled and nodded as they began walking towards the elevators.

"I've had a really nice weekend" Kirsten said while they were driving towards the airport.

"Oh, me too" Sandy said and smiled. Kirsten smiled back but then her smile faded as she looked out through the window.

"What is it?" Sandy asked, she thought it was scary how quickly had had learnt to read her.

"It's just…I went up her to meet Rachel, but I've been spending the whole weekend with you, not that that is a bad thing, but… I tried calling her this morning, but she didn't want to meet me. We talked a little, but she didn't want to talk about you. I feel like I've abandoned her" Kirsten explained, still looking out through the window.

Sandy was driving, but yet he found an opportunity to place his hand on her leg, trying to give comfort.

"If you just give her some time to think, maybe it will be an easier thing to talk about" he said, eyes still on the road. She touched his hand and he looked at her for a few seconds.

"It's gonna be ok" he promised and she believed him.

"What are you gonna do now?" she asked

"What do you mean?" he said

"Well, now that you're divorced, are you gonna continue your job? And where are you gonna live?" she asked and he laughed a little.

"Well, my salary's good, but that's also the only reason why I won't quit, I need the money. I guess I'll look for a small apartment for me and Stephanie"

"Speaking of which, have you told her about us?" Kirsten asked and he looked at her quickly.

"No, I haven't" he answered

"Why not?"

"Well, I'm not sure how she will react, she's…very judgemental, so maybe we should hear what Rachel thinks before I talk to Steph." Sandy replied and took away his hand from her leg.

"Where is she staying these days?" Kirsten said

"With friends" Sandy answered shortly.

"You know you can come down and visit me in Newport, I have a big house with a lot of extra room…" Kirsten said and he smiled

"Maybe" he just said and pulled over in the parking lot outside the airport.

They got out of the car.

"I can take it from here" Kirsten said, feeling sad she had to leave him so soon.

"Okay." Sandy looked into her eyes "I'll miss you"

"Oh God, Sandy I'll miss you so much!" she said and threw herself into his arms. He held her close and enjoyed the smell of her hair on last time. He closed his eyes. She took his head in her hands and kissed him deeply.

"I love you" he said and she kissed him again.

"I love you too" she answered. "I have to go, my plane leaves soon"

She kissed him one last time and then she got her self out of his embrace and picked up her suitcase. She looked back at him, tears in her eyes.

"Call me" she said and he nodded. She blew him a kiss and then she turned around and walked away.

"Don't leave me…" Sandy whispered softly as he watched her go.

Short chapter, I know, more will be up soon. Next week school starts again, so I may not have just as much time to write, but I'll try my hardest to update as often as I can. Thanks for reviews!
