The unbearable need to get out of the car struck. The doors of the vehicle had been opened and their passengers where stepping one by one outside.
Clearly she wasn't coping with the lack of sleep and neither with the situation. It was 4:00 am and all what her tiered eyes could perceive were his jumper in her legs and him standing outside helping her friend.
For all she know THIS, was potentially the last time she will ever see him. Everyone had been dreading this goodbye for hours and now, ever since they all impulsively gone into a road trip, perhaps they were able to escape the nostalgic thoughts of saying goodbye for the last couple of hours, but that moment had become a reality and the reality was standing in front of them.
The car was parked aside the road, close the airport. The chilly air made them all put their warm clothing on. This time was hard for her, not only was she disappointed at him, but once again she will be left full of regrets, what-if's and the worst thing, she would not be certain when would she ever see him again. Time could be months, weeks maybe years or never. Never would be meaning they all become ex-summer lovers, from that crazy time.
What she was most afraid was his reaction, what if the only thing he wanted to do is throw them off and get back home as soon as possible or have a romantic goodbye with her friend in front of her eyes.
Neither would be good scenarios for her to leave with a dear memory.
She stepped lastly out of the tow door car. By that time her friend had rapidly taken her lodge and had said goodbye to them, her friend was hurrying to get as soon as possible into the terminal and check in. Suddenly she realized this was truly her once again good bye time.
As expected, she hugged all of the other boys first with a truly thankful hugh. Next came him, he was awaiting. Hand in his pocket, looking at the ground. This time he went for her, he grabbed her tightly, as tough he knew as well what all had happened, and that their next time together will be unknown.
As the were holding, he looked into her eyes, a kiss would be inappropriate at this point. She had now lost the count how many times, they had stood so close staring into each other eyes, and so many times ending in a laugh or a sentence, this time was not be different, he boldly said under his breath;
- Remember we did this just a week ago?
The instant memory came back to her, and blushed. She knew that was their little secret and thats why he had said it so surreptitiously.
Inches away from a kiss, she stepped back and as her friend took off. As he entered the terminal doors, she took a turn and just saw an empty cold road.
