love never walks alone

chapter twenty-two

As I worked during the day, I found it harder and harder to concentrate without Bryan. We were now on the verge of being perfect together. We had just bought a nice new warm little apartment opposite of Notting Hill, our whole lives were great. I never regretted a day of any of our relationship, as it made us a stronger couple all together. The support behind us all was so immense.

Bryan was due home today, so I rushed all my press releases and handed out all the odd jobs to my understudies. It had been four weeks since I had last seen him, and he was only going to be home for a few days. But already I was craving to hold him. "Guys, you all have to do the work set. And please, sign the conference book to let me know what you’ve done. If you need anything give me a call or mail me, right?" Dom stood up, "But Rav," "What Dom?" I snapped, he sniggered, "just doing your head in" he said. Everyone seemed to know how anxious I was to get home. "Okae, can I trust you and go?" I asked, "just go," they all said in little collage bits around the office.

I slowly walked up to our new home and opened the door, "Bryan," I called, "are you home?" there wasn’t an answer, the disappointment began to show on my face "I knew I should have met him at the airport" I said to myself as I put my bag down and picked up my big fluffy Elmo, I held it close to me as I often would when I was alone. Just then the door opened, and a voice said, "hunny I’m home." He always wanted to say that…then my head shot round to see Bryan standing there with a huge smile on his face, I ran towards the door so fast. Bryan dropped his bags and held on to me…I just hugged him, held him so tight. "Babe…" I said…it was all I could think of, I hadn’t seen him for over a month, and I had forgotten how warm it felt to hug him close. He just held me and kissed my head, "I take it you missed me?" he asked. He was so right. This was the one moment that I knew I was content with life and with Bryan, this is what I was made on earth for and I was going to live out every moment in the arms of the man that I loved more than anything. I was the luckiest girl alive.
