Chaper 2

"You are so lucky the airport is 10 minutes away, I am flipping out right now!" My mom looked back at me a smiled

"Don't worry you know your dad would never let you miss your flight." My dad chimed in. "You should trust me by now to get you to places on time." I could see him looking at me through the rear view mirror. I smiled back.

"Yeah yeah whatever its just because you have a lead foot." I unpacked my bags and checked them in. This was it all I had to do was walk through the medal detector and I wasn't going to see my parents until Thanksgiving. My mom had already started the water works and I could see my dads chin quivering. Its funny how my parents are both emotional and they popped out a baby that could hardly show any emotion. I knew how I felt in my heart and that's all that mattered I knew I loved them and I didn't need to cry. I gave them both a hug and a kiss and got in line. They both watched me until the couldn't see me anymore. Being the youngest and having 4 brothers it was harder for them to see the last one leave the nest.

The plane ride was 5 hours and I could not wait to get to my cousins house.

"Hey there Kat what took you so long I was thinking you missed your plane because you slept in." My cousin Josh greeted me with a punch on the shoulder and a hug.

"I swear I hate when you call me Kat I feel like I should meow or something." He smile "Well get used to it KAT your working for me now you will be hearing a lot of it." I could not stop smiling I have not seen my cousin in a year and our family has always been close he was like my best friend.

I settled into my room and started to unpack my stuff when a knock came on the door. "Hey I have to go to the office real quick we have some new fliers they want me to approve, you ok here by yourself." I thought for a second "Hey i got and idea how about you drive me to D.C and while your in the meeting I can explore.
"Sounds like a plan."

we got in the car and headed to D.C.

"So Arlington seems boring." I wanted to start some conversation

"It's not bad i mean you haven't seen anything yet. You will like it here."

"Yeah I was just kidding anyway." He looked at me and laugh

"Um yeah ok." He said sarcastically


We made it to D.C. really quick and it was beautiful. I know its the U.S. capital but I did not think it would be this beautiful. I Practically ran out of the car I was so excited to explore.


"Now I want you to be careful ok and if you need me call. At around 6 meet me at my office i don't want you to be out here alone when its dark you might get lost here are the directions to my office from china town, once again call me if you need me." I shot him a look that said i wasn't a baby.

"I will be fine."

I started to walk around and realize I should have listened to josh about getting lost this place was huge. I made my way back to china town It was about 8:00. I had gotten lost. My phone had died and i was starting to worry.

"Do you need some help?" I turned around to see some blond guy with a accent looking at me. He look really familiar but I was too worried about being lost to try and think.

"Um yeah I need to get to this office building but I'm not from here and I'm really lost." He smiled and walk towards me and I couldn't help but notice his gorgeous eyes.

"I'm not from here either but i spend a lot of my time here let me see the map, oh and by the way my name is Nick." I have not been with another guy for 2 years besides Brian so i had no idea if he was hitting on me or not, or i was just blowing him helping me way out of proportion.

"I'm Kate, thanks for helping me."

"It's not a problem, so seeing your Avalanche sweatshirt your a hockey fan." I looked down at my sweatshirt like i didn't Know what was on it.

"Yeah a bit my brother plays hockey, I'm more of a football fan but I have been to a couple Avs games."

"Well this isn't to far from here and seeing its dark and you have already gotten yourself lost how about I walk you." I was a little skeptical seeing i didn't know him but for some reason I felt like I new him.

"Thank you so much that would be great."
