Chapter 42 - Long Distance Relationship (1/2)

”Hey what's with that face? I'm only going to be gone for a month and I promise I will text and call you everyday.” He said.

Nina was pouting because Andrew would be leaving in a few minutes. They were at the airport bidding farewell to each other.

She wanted to cry and asked Andrew to stay. But she knew he needed to go to France. It was for the company after all.

”Promise me once you arrive, you will call me okay?” She pouted.

He nodded then pulled her into a tight embrace.

”Wait for me. I'll try to get it done in less than a month. Then I'll take you on a trip, just the two of us.” He said, kissing her on the forehead.

She tilted her head, wrapping her arms around his neck while he leaned closer to kiss her on the lips. He felt her lips trembled and he knew she was trying her best not to cry.

Andrew will be taking a private plane since they own Cross Airlines. He could actually leave whenever he wanted but there's a meeting he needed to attend as soon as he arrived.

Nina bit her lips when Andrew turned around and started walking away from her. She wanted to run towards him but she stopped herself. She sighed while looking at him until he disappeared from her eyes.

”Don't worry, we'll keep you company. And he said he'll be back in a month. He'll be here at our graduation.” It was Peggy.

True to his words, Andrew sent a message when he arrived in France.

'I'm here. I'm exhausted, I wish you were here with me.'

'It was a twelve hour flight, take a rest first. The meeting will start in two hours right?' She answered.

'Yes. I will sleep for an hour baby then prepare. I'll call you before the meeting starts. I miss you already. I love you.'

'I love you, too.'

She looked at the time and saw that it was three in the morning. The time difference was a hustle. But she was relieved that he did what he promised her.

A few days passed and Andrew was consistently sending her a message and would call her at night. It was three or four in the morning in Nina's time. She would always come to school late and would fall asleep during classes. She was also caught using her cellphone during lectures.
