The airport was dark and lonely tonight. I always wondered why the airlines felt the need to stretch out the flights so that they came in at all sorts of hours. Not even the gods would be up this late. I pulled my blazer into a parking space before the hulking building that served as the airport for our city. I turned off the lights and sat for a moment listening to the radio as Robert Smith sang with the Cure.
I sighed softly as I knew I missed him more than I ever thought possible and I was glad that tonight he was coming home to me again.
I turned off the ignition and slipped the key free before opening the door and exiting. With a click of a button, the blazer was locked and I was walking across the parking lot towards the airport in the middle of the night.
I stepped through the automatic doors as they opened with a faint swish and walked up to the counters, squinting at the different rows of arrival and departure times. I let go of the breath that I was holding as I noticed his flight was still listed as being on time. I couldn’t help the smile that washed over my face and I made my way over towards the escalators that would lead me up to the second floor and the arrival gates.
I was humming the tune from the car faintly as I walked through the deserted airport towards the observation windows. Everything was closed and locked behind security gates and the airport would look almost creepy if a few people hadn’t been slouched across the couches, waiting for their parties to arrive at this late hour. An older security guard strolled by and politely covered a yawn before giving a polite smile and mumbling an “excuse me”. I returned his smile and stopped before the tall windows that reached towards the ceiling, my reflection showing clearly in them.
I smiled and saw my “twin” in the window do the same. I was dressed in a long black skirt that hung to the ankles of my black boots. A soft dark blue short-sleeved shirt hugged my upper half, it was low cut in the front and in the back as well. I loved to wear it as it showed off my eye of Ra tattoo on the base of my neck. I was proud of my tattoos and grinned all the more because I knew he loved them too. Of course he’d always said that he loved any part of my body, inked or not.
I pressed a stray lock of dark hair behind my ear and out of my face as I looked down at the watch on my wrist. Any time now he should be landing and coming home to me. Warmth spread through my body and made my skin shiver softly as I thought of how long he’d been gone from me. Too long.

A figure softly slid up behind me and gently let the carry-on luggage drop from their fingers. I glanced up into the reflection of the window and saw him. His hands slid around my waist as he pressed his body against mine and nuzzled the back of my neck. I let out a delicious sigh and leaned back into his embrace, closing my eyes and feeling relaxed now that he was safe and home. My fingers moved to intertwine with his.
“I missed you hun,” He whispered softly into my ear, his breath tickling my skin.
“You better have, but I think that I missed you more,” I replied back to him, eyes still closed and enjoying having him pressed against me once again.
“Did you now? Is that true?” I heard him ask as I barely paid attention to what he was doing, just feeling relaxed in his embrace. One stayed still upon my hip, thumb softly rubbing back and forth with affection as the other was stealthily sliding under the bottom of my shirt and under the waist of my skirt.
My eyes opened wide and my hand flew to cover his, stopping him as I whispered fiercely, “What are you doing?! We’re in the middle of the airport for Gods sakes!” I could see his reflection smiling innocently.
“I was only attempting to find out if you were telling the truth. We’re in an airport yes, but this is the observation lounge and it’s really dark.” He finished and started to nibble on my ear lightly, causing me to shiver once again while trying to slap my mind back on track.
“There are people here you perv, you think they’re gonna wanna join in or something?” I asked trying not to giggle and pulling at his hand, trying to remove it. He stopped nibbling and lifted his head, as if thinking on something before answering me, “You think they’d want to? Hmmmm, now that would be interesting…” His voice trailing off in thought again. I smacked his hand that was resting upon my hip.
“My gods, you are an awful man,” I giggled, my hand upon his as I watched out the window again, the runway lights in the distance twinkling like stars.
“Aw…but you love me. I know you do…cause good little girls normally wear underwear under their skirts when they pick their boyfriends up from the airport,” He replied to me as his hand delved a bit further under the waist of my skirt, feeling nothing but smooth skin, “Besides, it’s late, those people are leaving. Everyone’s in a rush to get their baggage and head home.”
I attempted to pull his hand out once more as I felt a blush spread it’s way across my cheeks as I mumbled something about that being a present for later and he wasn’t supposed to be spoiling it like he was.
