Chapter 16:

It was six o' clock in the morning, Denver felt her head pounding as she remembered what happened a few hours before. She had another round of sex with Hunter since he today was when he's going back to Philadelphia.

Her phone went off when she realized it was time to wake up and get ready so she could drop Hunter off at the airport. She rolled over to see the right side of her bed empty, a note posted to the pillow.

Denver,

I know you were expecting to wake up with me still in your bed, but I couldn't even think of saying goodbye again. It'll bring back that memory of me having to see you go on that plane. I'm already on my way to the airport. I know you may hate me, but I couldn't stand seeing you cry as I say goodbye.

I will promise that this time I'll keep in touch with you, but understand that I'm trying to get over you. I told Adam yesterday that you and him are perfect for each other. It kills me to know that some other man will make you happier than I ever could. But we need to let the past be the past, and you should move on.

A part of me will always love you, I wish we could spend the rest of our lives together, but sadly life doesn't go the way you want it. I love you and maybe one day I'll find a woman that will make me as happy as Adam makes you.

Love you always and forever,

Hunter

Denver read the letter, as a tear dropped on the note, she wiped her eyes, and got out of bed. She still had an hour before Hunter's plane took off.

"Damn that man... he's going to make me do the one thing I'd never thought I'd do. Stupid sappy ass romance movies."

She went in her closet to pick out an outfit to wear, before taking a quick shower.

"I'm not letting him go so easily," she grabbed her cell phone and car keys, leaving the apartment.

45 minutes Denver made it to JFK, she sat in the parking garage thinking about how stupid this idea was. She sat in her car and texted Izzy.

Iz, I really need you right now. Get back to me ASAP!

It took a few seconds before Izzy was calling her phone, Denver picked up immediately.

"Denver, are you okay? It seems important, Don's taking a shower so we can talk for a little bit."

"Izzy, I'm at the airport, please tell me I'm not doing something stupid."

"Den... start at the beginning."

She groaned, "Last night I slept with Hunter again and this morning he was gone. He left a note saying how he couldn't say goodbye to me in person. He said he's always going to love me, so I jumped at the chance to come here."

"You aren't going to ask him to stay, are you?"

"I can't do that to him, but I also know I can't let him leave unless I see him once more."

"You should do it Denver, who knows when your going to see him again. Good luck Dennykins, Don's out of his shower, I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Okay, go please your man you sex crazed woman," Denver laughed and hung up the phone. "That woman is going to be the death of Flack I swear." She tied her hair up into a ponytail, and exited the vehicle to go find Hunter.

"Time to go find the man that will be the death of me," she walked into the airport and found the Flight information display LCD board. She stood there with her arms crossed until she found Philadelphia. "Thank God, it's delayed," Denver huffs as her eyes travel the gate number of the Delta Air Line flight.

She was glad that the gate was nearby, it only took her a couple of seconds to make it there. She frowned when she saw him sitting down next to this woman, who was obviously flirting with him.

"Yeah I really shouldn't have came," Denver groaned, turning around fixing to walk off when she heard Hunter call her name.

"Denver, what are you doing here?" Hunter had a confused look on his face, and when Denver turned she couldn't help, but smile at his expression.

"You thought you could leave a note and not expect me to come," Denver crossed her arms, gaining her confidence back. "How do you expect me to move on if you leave a note like that? You ever think that maybe I love you too? Hunter we've been through everything together, you can't just let a love like that go. And no I'm not trying to get you to stay, I just want us to have a chance, before you throw it all away. Yes I still have feelings for Adam, but I can't move on from you, it's impossible. We can have something great happen for us, if we just give it a chance."

"You believe we can handle a long distance relationship?"

"It may be hard to do, but I at least want to try. And you know that you'll regret letting me go to another man, before we even tried this dating thing out," she glanced into his eyes, trying to figure out how he's feeling. "You were so great to me when Danny dumped me, you gave me the confidence that I could love again."

"Okay," Hunter nodded, taking her hands in hers. "It's worth a shot."

"You are not going to regret this later, are you?" Denver pulled her hands out of his.

Hunter just smiled, and leaned down brushing his lips against hers, "Does that answer your question?" he asked, smirking down at her.

Denver threw her arms around his neck, "You made it pretty clear," she brought her lips to his. All the memories came back from when Denver left to go to New York, but this time the future was looking bright for both of them.


After leaving the airport almost an hour later, Denver had a permanent smile on her face, even though she got called into work. It was now 7:30 in the morning as she headed for the crime scene.

A frown formed on her face when she found out who she had to work with, Isabella and Danny. Denver hasn't spoken to Danny since the break up, but she wasn't going to let him ruin her day.

She walked up to her best friend who was asking Don about what he knew about Jane Doe.

"Can you guys catch me up?" Denver asked.

"The woman's name is Lisa Hopkins, 25 years old, she's a student at Chelsea University, and her boyfriend found her dead," Don explained to Denver who nodded.

"That sucks that he lost his girlfriend," Denver frowns. "I don't know what I would do if I lost Hunter," she says more towards herself, but Izzy's blue eyes lightened up.

"I'm going to go talk to Lisa's boyfriend some more," he nodded, and walked off.

"Tell me everything that happened at the airport."

"Let's just say Hunter and I left on good terms."

"And that means?" Izzy asked, wanting to know everything.

"We're going to try at a long distance relationship, I think that pretty much sums it up."

"Denver, that's great news," Izzy gave her friend a hug. "But... what about..." she starts, but got cut off by Denver.

"Adam, well I still have feelings for him, Hunter knows that and is just going to give me and him a try. So he doesn't end up wishing he got with me when he had the chance, and hating himself over it."

"That's the sweetest thing, he's very sexy too. Let's hope it works out."

"You sure got over me quickly," Danny smirked, walking up to the women.

"Messer, you really should learn to mind your own business," Denver crossed her arms, glaring at her ex boyfriend.

"Well maybe if you stopped talking about your new conquest, you girls can get some work done."

"Don't talk to me about a new conquest, when you had a thing for another woman for I don't know how long."

"At least she doesn't think she got pregnant, to make me stick around."

Denver glared at Danny, "Go to hell Messer," she frowned, and walked off to do some work.

"God Messer, you are so damn stupid sometimes, you should be glad I can't kick your ass," Izzy pushed past Danny and went to go help Denver with some evidence.

"Why are girls so emotional?" Danny shook his head.

Danny was most definately on the top of both Denver and Izzy's shit list. He really screwed up Denver's good mood.


Danny is soo ugh in this... why I write him like this idk but it really puts Denver on edge alright... Anyways you enjoy the Hunter/Denver stuff ?
