| Chapter 15: Going Away The week passed quickly, and it was the day before Beyonce's departure from Texas. Lindell was helping her pack. "Thank you so much for your hospitality, you've been so good to me," she told him. "Oh no problem, it was nice havin someone to talk to," he said as he folded her clothes into her suitcase. "Does it get lonely sometimes? Livin alone?" Beyonce asked. "Sometimes," Lindell said. "Oh...maybe I should get a dog or something," Beyonce said laughing. "For when I get to LA, since I'll be living alone for the 5 months we're shooting the movie," "Oh," Lindell laughed. "Yeah, this whole time I've always had my parents and Kelly and Michelle to keep me company, on the road, tours and stuff like that. But now its just me," she said. "Well, you'll live. It's not that hard living on your own," he told her. "I hope not," she said. There was silence between them. A sort of tension was hanging in the air above them. They both wanted to ask each other a question but couldn't bring themselves to. "well," Lindell said once they were done packing. "that's the last bag," "Yup," Beyonce said. "Thanks for helping me," "Any time," He said smiling at her. "You should go to bed early tonight since your flight leaves so early tomorrow morning," "yeah, thats a good idea," Beyonce said. It was 7 o'clock and she went to bed at 8. ******* The next morning a limo was to come pick her up and bring her to the air port. She had a quick breakfast with Lindell and as the time the the limo was to come drew nearer, Lindell gave her her jacket. "So...guess this is goodbye then," Lindell said. "Yeah," Beyonce said. "I'm gonna miss you," He said. "I'll miss you too," She said. She walked outside to wait for the limo. He stood in the doorway and watched her. I can't let her leave like that, he thought. He finally decided to do something that he'd wanted to do. "Beyonce!" he called. She turned around. "Yeah?" she said. "C'mere, I uh, I been meanin to tell you somethin," he said. She walked over to him. "yes?" she asked. "Beyonce, I really have to get somethin out, I been holdin it back this whole time, and...I think it's time that you know..." he began. She looked up at him into his warm brown eyes. He put his hands on her hips and she felt chills rush up her spine and then back down leaving her whole body tingling. She felt her heartbeat get faster as he held her like he used to when they were together. "That you know," he continued, "That I wanna be more than just your friend, cuz I still have feelins for you, and I was afraid to tell you because I was scared you wouldn't feel the same. But I think of it now as if I don't tell you now, you'll never know. And I at least want you to know, if even you dont have feelins for me like that...." he said. She didnt say anything. She was speechless but didnt move his hands from her hips. She put her hands on his and moved his so that they were around her waist and put her hands around his neck. She smiled at him and kissed him gently. Now he had the feeling she had when he touched her after feeling her soft lips touch his. He kissed her back and they stood kissing and embracing each other not noticing cameras flash and the limo arrive. They were in their own wold now. They couldn't hear anything around them and the feeling the both had was one they never thought they could ever feel and they didn't want to let go of it. She slowly pulled away. "wow..." she whispered. She was crying. Happy crying. He wiped her tears. "Now I'm gonna really miss you," "yeah," he said. "maybe Daddy can arrange it so that you can live with me in LA for the time I'm there." she suggested still speaking softly. "I know Momma would like that, so you can remind me to take my medicine" she added laughing a little. "would you like that?" "Yeah, a lot," he said speaking at the same volume she was. "I'll call you when I get there," she promised. "Alright," he said. She kissed him again and the driver put her bags in the trunk and she got in and drove away. Lindell smiled and went back inside to start packing his things. He couldn't wait to go to LA. Chapter 16 |
