Ingrid pov

I turned on my phone and soon gave Rachel a call which she answered as soon as possible and she asked ** how've you been, how are you Ingrid** I replied to all her questions and told her I'm at my aunt's place, which she finally released a breath she was holding and we chatted longer after which she asked me ** will you be coming back ** I paused and took second after which I replied ** yes I'm coming** she screamed from excitement and promised to come pick me which I declined; though I gave her the time of my arrival and kissed her goodbye. I went to meet aunt who was watching a movie at her mini theater in her house, I accompanied her and we saw the movie together til late midnight were she kissed me goodnight and I left for my room; I woke up high in spirit got down and a started making breakfast while aunt came over and joined me after which we had breakfast and she took me to the airport, well she had already booked my flight yesterday so I kissed her goodbye got on board and took my seat ready for the plane to take off for my destination. I landed by two in the afternoon and gave aunt a call; I couldn't believe that I've already start missing her already and she urge me on to go and meet my friends and set things right, I got a cab and made it for my apartment thinking about everything that took place and how lucky I am to have a great friend, soon I arrived at my place where I saw Rachel already outside waiting for me and she smiled and ran towards me.

She threw herself at me and I hugged her; I really missed her like crazy all her jokes and pestering also her company I really missed her, she held my hands and started pulling me inside while the cab rider took my bags inside with us, I opened the door and she yelled ** surprise and welcome back to your house sweetie ** to which I saw balloon and the room was decorated with glittery work which made me smile at her gesture it warms my heart. Soon after she nudged me inside which I did and to my surprise I saw someone inside standing and waiting for me to come in, I walked in and saw it was James who was walking towards me; I also walked towards him and we stared at each others eyes whilst he hugged me with love and warmth, I never knew how bad I've wanted to be in his arms again but now I knew I really missed being held by him. He pulled away from me a little and kissed my lips like damn he's as cute as always which I couldn't resist and I placed my hands on his neck and drew him closer, after which he held my hand and we went to the couch to sit whilst he kept holding my hand like I was going to disappear if he leaves my hand, Rachel cams over with a smile on her face and a bottle of drink celebrating my returned and I knew she had a lot of questions for me already; which I wasn't worried about cause this time I'm not running anymore but staying with people who loves me.
