Forgive Me- Part 2

Jaime’s POV

The flight back to America was quick and comfortable with both Amelia and I sleeping for a majority of it. When we disembarked, practically Amelia was bouncing with new found energy and I was struggling to keep her at a walking pace.

“What's up with you?” I ask smiling as she begins skipping.

“I don’t even know! I just have so much energy and I wanna DO something!” she enthused.

“Like what?”

“I dunno anything! Go on an adventure, go for a walk. Anything”

“well, why don’t we go out to dinner after we drop off our stuff?”

“What about Simba?”

“Mum and dad won’t mind keeping him for another night”

“You sure?” she asked looking slightly worried. I loved how much she hated to impose on others, she was so considerate and it is such a rare trait to find in people these days. Most people seem to only care about themselves but Amelia could care less about herself so long as everyone around her was happy.

“I’m sure” I draw her back to my side and place a light kiss on her temple. "Now let's go get our stuff, Mike said he'd be here to pick us up."

"Oh! I missed him! And everyone else! I haven't seen them in ages!"

"Why don't we invite everyone over? I think the guys from bring me and mice are still here for a couple more days before they head off..."

"Yes! We definitely need to do that!" She had a huge smile on her face, excitement all but oozing off her.

"Okay I'll message the guys" she smiles again and stretches up onto her tippy toes to peck my cheek.

"I love you Jaime"

"I love you too Mil" I take her hand and walk her to the baggage claim, a smile never leaving my lips. I feel so much closer to her now that we spoke about her 'problem' and she seems to be less subdued than ever. Ever since we spoke about it she's been more outgoing and more trusting. Yea I don't know every detail about it but I know a hell of a lot more than I used to and I know that it was a huge step for her.

Once we get out of the airport and Milly sees Mike she drops her bag and jumps on him. As he was facing the other way not paying attention she scared him more than just a little.

"What the fuck?!" Mike yelled

"I missed you Mikey!" Milly giggled

"Milly?" Mike laughed "get down and give me a proper hug!" Milly let go of his back and he immediately wrapped her in a hug. "How are you Mils?"

"I'm good! It’s nice being back"

"Finally decided that the states were better than Australia?" Mike said poking her in the ribs.

"Hell no! Never gonna happen! But I will admit I did miss it here!" Milly said swatting his hand away. I gave Mike a bro hug and said hello before we piled into his car.

The drive home felt longer and longer the closer we got to home. I was so ready to be back there and just be able to relax for a little while. When we finally arrived we unloaded the car and dumped all out bags at the bottom of the stairs, not bothering to walk them up to our room just yet. Amelia goes straight to the kitchen and pulls out a beer each for Mike and myself and then poured herself a glass of juice.

"Not drinking Mil?" Mike asked curiously

"Nah I'm not feeling it" she said

"You're missing out!"

"Yea yea just shut up and drink your drink" she grumbled before sculling her juice. "What time are we heading out?" She asked me

"I was thinking about an hour? Hour and a half? I still need to call up the restaurant to double check their space"

"Okie dokie, I might head upstairs and start getting ready then." She said happily before running upstairs.

"Man, she's practically glowing, what the hell happened in Aus? Weren't you at her dad’s funeral? Why is she so happy?"

"We finally talked properly about everything and I dunno, since then she just seems to be over the moon"

"Wow, well I like it, I don't think I've seen her this way before"

"Yea me either..." We are silent for a moment before Mike asks a question.

"So we're still having a party tonight?"

"Hell yea! Everyone said they could come right?"

"Yep, Bring Me's heading off in two days and Mice in three, all are pumped to come over"

"If I give you some money can you get some drinks while we're out?"

"Yes sure thing, anything in particular you want?"

"A bottle of vodka and some red bulls for Milly"

"Sure thing, well, I should head off, I'm meant to go get food for Vic as well"

"Okay, tell him I say hi alright?"

"Yea of course"

We say goodbye and Mike heads off leaving me to call up the restaurant to check the booking I made Tony make for us just before we headed back.

When the booking was confirmed I had half an hour until we had to head off. I walk upstairs and head straight to the bathroom so I could have a shower before we leave. Being in a plane for so long makes me feel gross. I knock on the door to check if Milly is in there. Not that it really matters; even if she is I would still go in. I think it's just more out of habit than anything else.

"Yea?" Milly calls from the other side of the door. I push it open to find her in front of the mirror putting on her makeup. She looks at me in the mirror and smiles.

"We have to leave in a half hour" I say with a soft smile as I wrap my arms lightly around her waist.

"Alrighty, where are we going exactly? Like what am I meant to wear?"

"Formalish, you get to dress up"

"Yay!" She said with a smile. I kiss her shoulder before turning my attention to the shower. I strip down, conscious of Amelia's gaze on me. I look at her suddenly and she averted her gaze with a slight blush forming on her cheeks from being caught. I just chuckle and hope into the shower. I love that she still gets embarrassed by such a simple thing, I mean it's not like she's never seen me naked before but she is always so shy about it.

I showered quickly and blow dried my hair mostly straight then attack it with a straightener to make it completely straight. I leave the bathroom for the bedroom to get dressed to find Amelia mostly dressed, just struggling with reaching the zipper on her dress. I suppress a smirk before walking over and zipping her up. She flashes me a grateful smile before strapping on her shoes.

"How do I look?" She asked holding her arms out slightly.

"You look absolutely gorgeous. But you're missing something"

"What?" She looked genuinely confused with a hint of worry. I just smile and go to my back and pull out a small box that I had brought in Australia. I hold it out to her and she looked dumbfounded.

"Just a little present"

"What for?" She asked taking the box carefully

"Do I need a reason?"

"Yes." She said immediately.

"Well is because I love you a good enough reason?"

"Just tell me you didn't spend a fortune"

"I promise I didn't spend a fortune. I saw it and I thought you would like it" I explained. She looked at me cautiously before opening the box and a small smile formed on her lips as she ran her fingers over the cross inside.

"Jaime it's beautiful!" She exclaimed before gently pulling the necklace from the box and putting it on. "How about now?" She asked gesturing to her outfit.

"Perfect. Absolutely perfect." I said softly before kissing her gently. I felt her smile against my lips before returning the kiss. Tonight is going to be a good night. At least I hope.
