Lost

Chapter 13 Jacquelyn

"Hey Stacy I'm at the airport now."

"Finally, I thought you would never come home."

"I thought so too for a moment."

"Excited to come back or..."

"Of course I am."

"No girl, I can hear it in your voice something isn't right. You got down with him didn't you?"

"W -What?"

"OMG my girl is finally taken by Mr. Super Sexy!"

"Stacy, you better be by yourself saying all of this", I whispered. 

"How was it, was it amazing? Romantic? In the backseat of a car?"

"Oh my gosh. No comment."

"Oh come on, please tell me."

"Fine but do go blabbing."

"I promise."

"It was very romantic, Like from a movie but better. He's super sweet and gentle and I kind of told him I love him--"

"WHAT?!"

"But since we had a weird vacation-only relationship going on, I figured if things were to have turned out differently, I would have fallen in love with him. That's why I gave myself to him because at this point, I'm not going to find "the one", especially if it's not him. I know it's stupid but--"

"That's like the most romantic one-night stand ever! You have to write a story about this!"

I laughed.

"Fine but you'll have to be my publisher and promote it like crazy."

"Deal!"

I continued on chatting with Stacy. As I was doing so I was looking through my back for a last-minute check to make sure I had everything. Isamu did an awesome job packing everything.

"Flight 1073 to California will be boarding in ten minutes."

I stumbled across something that caught my attention. Two matching bracelets for each one of us to have that I bought when we were at the festival. I didn't have the courage to give him one because I was scared he would think it was childish.

"I have to give it to him", I said to myself.

I just feel like I can still be connected to him this way even if we never speak again.

I jumped to my feet and looked at the time. I won't make it back for my flight.

"Jackie, hey, Jackie? Give him what?"

"I forgot to give him something important Stacy. Sorry, I won't make it back on time as planned. I'll book a flight for later."

"You go get your man girl. Let me know if you need extra money. For the ticket and a place to stay if you have to wait for a while."

"No need. I have my emergency credit card. I'll talk to you soon okay?"

"Okay. See you later."

I speed-walked through the airport towards the exit and quickly flagged down a taxi. I explained where I needed to go the best I could. The taxi driver finally knew where to go when I mentioned Isamu. Of course, he would since that's all over the news now.

It took a while to get there but I didn't care. I just need him to have this. Also, I need to see him one more time.

Before I left to go inside the airport, he said something to me in Japanese but I couldn't understand. It was unlike him to speak to me in Japanese.
