Chapter 2

The plane began its descent. Tyra couldn't believe those two hours had passed so quickly. She had spent the entire ride thinking about Tim and her relationship, if you could call it that, with him. Once the plane landed, she would put him out of her mind, and focus on having a blast with Julie and the rest of the bridal party and her friends that would be attending her bachelorette night.

The plane touched down and Tyra gathered her carry on luggage and her purse and made her way to the terminal. As she stepped off the plane and started toward baggage claim, she was spun around and found herself in Tim's arms. Her bag fell to the ground as she stood there in stunned silence. When her brain started working again, Tyra wrapped her arms tight around Tim. "What on earth are doing here?" she asked him, still not believing he was there. Tim answered that he had arrived in town about an hour earlier, and had found out from Julie that Tyra would be arriving shortly after he did. He decided to surprise her and wait for her at the airport. Tyra couldn't stop touching and kissing Tim, making sure he was really there, not just conjured by her thoughts of him on the plane. With Tyra wrapped around him like a snake on tree limb, Tim growled that she had better stop that or he wouldn't be held responsible for them getting arrested for public nudity and lewd behavior. Tyra promised to behave…a little.

Tim and Tyra made their way to the taxi stand and hailed a cab to take them to their hotel. Tyra was true to her word about behaving…until they were in the cab. Tim barely had time to tell the driver the name of the hotel before Tyra pounced on him. She crawled into Tim's lap and told him how happy she was to see him. She told him she had been thinking about him the whole way to Chicago. Tim's face lit up with that smile only Tyra could put there. Tim said he had been doing a lot of thinking about her too and Tyra sighed in contentment. They arrived at the hotel and Tim paid the driver and followed Tyra inside to check in. When they got to the desk, Tim took charge telling the clerk the reservation was under the name Riggins and was for a room with a king sized bed and Jacuzzi. Tyra began to say her room was under the name Collette, and the desk clerk looked for her reservation, but couldn't find it. Tim was standing behind her grinning his bad boy grin. Tyra whirled around and said, "Tim Riggins, what did you do?" Tim told her she was staying with him. He had Julie call and cancel Tyra's room. He told her he didn't want to spend another night without her beside him. Tyra couldn't believe her ears. She went along with Tim to their room. Tyra couldn't believe Tim Riggins had managed to sweep her off her feet after all this time.

When they got to the room, Tyra's cell phone started buzzing and she checked the display. It was Julie. Tyra started to hit accept, when Tim took her phone and tossed it on the bed. "Hey!" Tyra complained, "that was Julie, I needed to answer that!" "Not yet, you don't. I need a little us time first" said Tim. Tim again wrapped his arms around Tyra and whispered in her ear how much he loved her and missed her. Tyra melted into him and kissed him with all the passion their time apart had ignited in her. They sank to the bed, the cell phone forgotten. It became a race to see who could strip the other quickest. When they were finished, Tim held Tyra close and apologized for not taking his time. Tyra said it was fine with her, as she couldn't wait either. They took a quick shower together and Tyra found her cell phone to call Julie back. Plans were made for dinner that evening, just Matt, Julie, Tim and Tyra. The bachelor and bachelorette parties would be the next evening.
