Returning Home

"I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to class." She said wrapping her arms around him, closing her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder "But I don't want to leave you. I'm scared that if I leave I'll come back and you'll be gone..."
 
George helped Anna climb atop of him so she can rest her body on his, sharing their warmth as well as everything else. "Oh no, I'm never leaving again, no way."
 
Two Months Later
.…..............................................................................................................................

Anna took a deep breath as she stood at the door of the auditorium, diploma in hand. It was over. She had made it through four years of school, through losing the love of her life, through him suddenly reappearing. Anna was relieved, all the hard stuff was over, everything seemed to be falling into place.
 
George led the pack of the proudest people in the room with a standing ovation. As soon as Anna left the dais to join them she was mobbed and threatened to be suffocated in their embraces. Various aunts, cousins, uncles, and ofcourse, mothers and fathers expressed their pride with the young woman in a very physical manner. If you could use only one word to describe the gathering, elated would be it
 
Anna smiled accepting the hugs and congratulations. She was happy when things died down a bit. "Your the only one who hasn't hugged me yet..." She said walking over to George. "So what do you wanna do? Get out of here, maybe grab something to eat?"
 
"oh I plan of something more than hugging" George laughed."but you're spot on about needing a bite to eat, your mom was kind enough to pack us some sandwiches, there's a long road ahead of us" George had to laugh at the look on Anna's face. "Cheer up sweetie, we're going to Hawaii! A honeymoon before the honeymoon, sort of." He gave his fiancee a kiss and a hug "but we need to hurry up to catch the plane "
 
"You've got to be kidding. Hawaii? Were really going to Hawaii?" She asked more then a little surprised "but I haven't packed anything. I can't really wear this on the plane..." Anna said looking down at her dress covered by her graduation gown.
 
Anna's mom jumped in, handling her a coathanger with some sensible traveling clothes on it. "here, you can change in the car" she gave her daughter a mock stern look "dont tell me you never undressed on the back seat before" (luckily, she decided to say this in a way so only the two of us heard). "there's not much time, chop chop, Im dropping you off, come on" she continued
 
Anna blushed at her mom comments. "Thanks..." She said following them to the car. As soon as she was inside she started slipping off her clothes, rushing to get changed. "How long are we going to be there?" She asked "what are our plans?" Anna slipped on her pants and shirt as she continued asking about the trip.
 
George gave Annas mom a conspiratory look. "three weeks, was it? No point going on such a long trip for a weekend, eh". George shifted back to look at Anna as she changed "when we're back we'll have a lot of work going through the wedding plans, so we might as well rest a bit before it"
 
"Three weeks? I had an appointment set up for next week to see some wedding venues." She was glad be getting the time away with him but at the same time she was anxious to start the wedding plans as well "I guess it can wait..."
 
"Don't worry, just focus on relaxing, it's gonna be pretty hectic once we get back, might as well enjoy ourselves before the storm" George draped his arm around Anna's back and rested in on her hip, tapping it with his hands, pulling her nearer as they walked towards the Airport gates "Besides, didn't we make a deal, I said I'll arrange everything, didn't I"
 
"Well you can't do everything." She said "at the very least I have to pick out my own dress. You're not allowed to see it." She said taking a deep breath to relax "it's not like we get a second chance. I just want everything to be perfect, I've had a lot of time to think about it and I just want it to match what I've had in my head."
 
"Oh, don't worry, I don't plan on going through all the invitations and flowers and whatnot all by myself. On that I'm more than happy to delegate" He bumped her hips with his, playfully as they walked "Besides, I want to be surprised on our first night as man and wife..."
 
She laughed "I'm not sure what I could do to surprise you. It's not like it'll be anything new." Anna looked over at him a smile on her face "so how do you feel about wearing a wedding ring?" She asked "are you afraid girls will stop hitting on you if they know you're taken?"
 
"I'm not in the slightest bit worried!" George chuckled "I spent all this time conquering you, losing you and finding you again that I plan on exploring every facet of your mind and body to last me century... So you see, other girls don't have anything to offer me"
 
"Well I'm sure they offer plenty." She said as they walked through the airport "why did you pick Hawaii? Neither on of us has ever mentioned it before. What made you want to go?"
 
"I heard they were beautiful this time of year" he had to laugh again "I heard they're beautiful every time of year. Besides..." George scanned Anna's body "It's been a while since I spent all day looking at you in bikinis"
 
"It's been even longer since you've spent all day looking at me in even less than that." She teased "I wouldn't mind spending one day in the hotel room, never getting out of bed."
 
"Well I thought we might set aside a day or two for that - just looking at you gliding about the room in front of gauzy white curtains... well perhaps not JUST looking"
 
She let go of him as they both went through security and such, meeting back up with him before they border the plane. "Thank you for the surprise. I can't wait to get to spend time with just you."
 
"I can't wait too." George smiled a warm smile "To be honest, I'm looking forward to the flight even, I'd enjoy cuddling with you in the seat. Do you think they'll let us to have you sitting in my lap by the window seat?"
 
"I don't know, I've never flown before." She said "would that even be comfortable? I don't want you to be sore when we get there." Anna took a hold of his hand "how long do you think it'll be before we get there?"
 
"Ooh. hours I think, so getting sore is the least of our concerns, we're getting sore no matter what, might as well enjoy it"
 
Anna smiled "well how much do you want to enjoy it?" She asked as they began getting on the plan "I can think of a few things we could do to pass the time..."
