chapter six; part one.

"I'm leaving tonight at seven, you're gonna visit right?" Pat said over the phone.

"Of course, I just gotta get school figured out" I replied. "One sec, someones at the door" I continued as I heard the doorbell ring. As I opened the door, I saw Pat's face. I jumped into his arms and held on to him with everything I had. He was leaving for Chicago tonight for training camp.

"What are you doing here?!" I said, running my fingers through his curly blonde hair. He could really use a hair cut.

"You really think I would leave without saying a proper goodbye"

"Well.... almost" I laughed, then gave him another kiss. He came inside for a few minutes, then had to leave again.

"When do you think you will come visit?" He asked.

"A few days" I smiled, "I'll call before I leave the airport"

"Okay, see you then" He smiled. He started to walk away as I closed the door, then turned back around to my doorstep.

"Steph.." He begun. "I love you"A smiled spread across my face, and I could feel myself light up. The words took a minute to sink in but I finally got a hold of them.

"I love you too, Pat" I said continuing to smile. He moved forward and cupped my face for one last kiss. This made my surprise for him even better!
