I'm Back

I stopped the car, leaving me in silence. I just stared out the window, my heart beating in my chest making it hard to ignore. I was nervous. I was nervous because I hadn't seen her for two years. Two very long years. I had changed tremendously, and I imagine that so had she. I took a deep breath in and opened the door. Shutting it with a click I hurried to her front door. my footsteps adding rhythm to the beat of my heart. it wasn't a very long path to the door, I probably traversed it in four steps, but it felt like a hike of a million miles. I got there and rang the doorbell. I heard shuffling behind on the other side, then jiggle of the handle. I watched the doorknob turn in slow motion. When  the door swung open I saw her standing there. It took a few second for to register what was happening, but then her face into a huge smile. "I'm back" I said simply. Then without another word I moved forward, enveloping her in my arms. We stood there for quite a long time, but our reunion was cut short by her father, he came around the corner with the question of who on his lips, but when he saw us he just smiled and nodded his head. We separated and I smiled down at her, she looked up at me with a face that asked so now what. "Sir, can I kidnap your daughter for a couple of hours?" He just nodded his head again, so I took her hand and lead her out to the car. We were going to have a fun time.
