Drawn To Each Horizon

Olivia POV:
(One month later)
I drove to the airport in Alex’s car; I was so excited to see them again! I can’t believe that a month blew by so fast. It was October now and I was so happy that my favorite month had finally come around! Cassadee was at Rian’s house setting up some fancy dinner for her and Rian. Alex told me to dress up all nice so we could go have dinner with his parents. I had the clothes in a bag in the back so I could get ready at Alex’s house. I’m so fucking nervous, I think my stomach’s going to explode. The traffic at the airport is crazy. I finally found a parking space in the parking garage and found my way to the terminal. I was surprised that they let you all the way into the airport if you’re waiting for someone. I looked down at my little pass and pretty much flew through security. Once I had myself all together I went to the terminal and found an empty seat.
“Are you flying today?” An older woman asked.
“Oh no, I’m here to pick up my boyfriend.” I told her.
“That’s sweet.” She smiled. “Where’s he coming from?”
“His band just finished up their US tour.” I explained. Why was she asking all these questions?
“Oh how nice.” She smiled again and nodded. “Well it looks like the gates are open.”
“Oh thanks.” I turned around and saw some people walk out of the plane. One guy stood out. I ran up to him with my arms open wide.
“ALEX!” I yelled and jumped into his arms. He twirled me around like they do in the movies and set me back on the ground.
“Baby I missed you so much.” He pulled me into his chest which only made me giggle. I don’t know how long we were hugging, but once we let go, everybody was out of the plane.
“I missed you too.” I leaned up and kissed him as deeply as I could while we were in public.
“Share the love!” Zack pulled me away from Alex and bear hugged me.
“How was tour?” I laughed.
“Amazing!” He let go and had his hands on my shoulders. He let go and I was attacked by a wild Jack Barakat.
“Where have you been hiding?” He hugged me.
“At Rian’s house,” He let go of me and I turned around to see my brother. “Well speak of the devil!”
“Hey sis,” Rian pulled me into a long hug. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, but I’m sure Cassadee missed you more.” I laughed. “Now let’s get your luggage.”
We went around the airport for a while until we made it to baggage claim. I held Alex’s hand the entire way. A few fans stopped and asked for photos with the band members, some knew who I was and asked me to join in. Others frowned upon me and asked Alex how I could break them up. He would use his simple answer, “It didn’t work out, but this is.” I would always smile at how sweet he was. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better boyfriend.
“Alright I’ve got my bag.” Zack looked down at his duffel and back up at us.
“Here’s mine.” Jack pulled his bag off the belt and scratched his head.
“I’ve got mine.” Alex nodded.
“Where the hell is my suitcase?” Rian asked. We watched the belt go around a few more times until Rian finally found his bag.
“Alright, let’s go.” I walked them out to the parking garage and over to Alex’s car.
“Keys please,” Alex held out his hand politely. I held out the keys but took them back quickly.
“Not without a kiss.” I puckered up my lips.
“Oh damn,” he said sarcastically before giving in and kissing me.
“Your keys sir,” I placed the car keys in his hand and went around to the passenger side door. I got inside the car and buckled up quickly so we could go. As always, Jack was the first one dropped off. He got out of the car happily and pranced around to the trunk to grab his bags. He went to his door to unlock it and waved at us. I don’t know why we always had to wait for him to go inside, it’s not like he’s going to be locked out or anything.
“Thanks for picking us up.” Zack patted my shoulder when we got to his house.
“It’s no problem Zee.” I waved at him. We drove down to Rian’s house and he noticed the dim lights.
“See you guys later.” Rian hopped out of the car and grabbed his bag.
“And now we can go home again.” Alex smiled and kissed my cheek before driving to his house. I pressed the garage door button for him and he pulled in. He turned to me with his head on the headrest.
“I love you.” He smiled.
“Alex, I love you too.” I laughed. “You’ve already told me that so many times today.”
“But only once in person.” He argued.
“Well c’mon, let’s go get ready.” I nudged him and went around to the back of his car so I could get my bag. He came around to the back of the car and grabbed his bag. I closed the door and followed him into the house.
“Baz, Peyton!” He nearly threw his bag onto the ground and fell to the floor to be with his dogs. Their tails were wagging as they attacked him with kisses. “You didn’t tell me you picked them up!” He exclaimed once he got up from his ever so happy dogs.
“Surprise!” I smiled when he was upright again.
“You’re so good to me.” He pinned me up against the wall. “I love you.”
“I l-” He cut me off by pressing his lips against my own. I opened my mouth before he even had to ask. Our tongues danced and he won dominance, as usual. I rested my arms lazily on his shoulders so I could hold my wrist behind his head. He picked me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist. He pinned me back up against the wall without breaking lip contact.
“Are we doing this right now?” I breathed heavily.
“No, later.” He set me down and followed up the stairs to his room. We both got ready with the soft sounds of acoustic songs playing in the background.
“You might want to pack a bag.” Alex turned to me.
“Why’s that?” I was busy putting on mascara.
“They live about an hour away and I won’t feel like driving all the way home at night.” He sighed.
“But baby, we can’t have any fun there.” I held the collar to his button up shirt.
“I just won’t be up for it Liv.” He turned away from me.
“I’ll drive then.” I pressed my hands against his chest.
“You sure?” He turned back to me.
“Of course, I’ve missed you.” I kissed his neck. “I need you.” I whispered into his ear.
“Alright, I guess we can just do that.” He wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed me gently before guiding me out of the bathroom. I grabbed my purse and went out to his car.
