this is the craziest thing she’s ever done. or … at the very least, it’s within her top three. flying from new york to california only to completely abandon the place within a few days. for canada in the middle of winter. maybe things had messed with her head a little more than she’d ever realized. maybe escaping america altogether for a solid few days was the real healing she needed.
or maybe she was just crazy.
which was entirely possible and entirely okay. things had changed so drastically as of late and she couldn’t bring herself to care about anything beyond her own needs. and her needs had pointed her to canada and pedro before she could even think it through entirely. the plane ticket had been purchased within seconds of his invitation and god, she was putting so much into this but he had been the only source of light as of late. she selfishly wanted every ounce of that light in every aspect of her every day life.
as she waited for her one bag, jasmine switched her phone from airplane mode back to normal; waiting a solid minute or so for things to kick back in. a few instagram notifications, twitter, this and that, and pedrito. thank god she had already cleared customs and this anxious waiting period wouldn’t last much longer.
[TEXT] hey you. just grabbing my bag and i’ll be right there ;) why are you apologizing?? i get it. thank you for coming to pick me up ^_^ can’t wait to see you.
Grinning, he climbed out of his rental and started towards the elevators. The parking garage was empty for the most part and he was thankful for the quiet. So much of his life was constant chaos that he always treasured the moments where lights and sounds and human interaction were all turned down low rather than ramped up.
Tugging his coat around himself a bit tighter, he watched the snow fall through the windows near the elevators. It had been coming down thick and fluffy since this morning and he was deeply grateful Jasmine’s flight hadn’t been cancelled, the plane having snuck through in between two storms, the second of which was ramping up now.
He felt bad she wouldn’t get to see as much of the city as he’d wanted to show her. But a part of him remained selfishly gleeful. Heavier snowfall meant they’d have to stay in the hotel. Alone. And he didn’t expect to cross any lines she wasn’t comfortable with. Honestly, he needed a slower pace himself. But just the thought of staying locked away with her all day, eating room service and surfing paper view channels sort of felt like cutting class and he was excited for it.
“There she is!” His smile took over his face when she appeared out of the elevators, until little crows feet wrinkled near his eyes. Arms opening to the girl, he pulled her in for a hug and kissed her forehead. “Hola, mi dulce! How was your flight, hmm? I was worried it’d get cancelled with all this snow...”
