Life in the big apple) the wedding

taking an early morning flight

Stef's: POV
After visiting my mom at the assisted living facility
I came back to the hotel ate a little bit and took a shower
Called the airlines to see if they had an earlier flight back to New York City. The earliest they had was at 5:00 am in the morning, which meant l needed to be at the airport
At 3:00 am. There was no reason for me to stay in San Diego, l needed to get home to Lena and the girls
I tried calling her cellphone earlier it went straight to voicemail. This wasn't like Lena not to answer my call
I know fucked up for accusing her of sleeping with someone else, instead of taking a nap l got from the bed packed up my belongings. Throw on a pair of jeans capris and hoodie, l unplugged my laptop and phone from the outlet and shoved in my back pack left out of my suite
Went down stairs to check out at the front desk. Gave the woman at the counter my key card, she told me that
I would received a partial refund for checking out early
I got in my rental car put the bags in the back seat
Buckle up my seat belt started up the ignition and drove
The nearest coffee shop for a strong coffee. I went thru the drive through of Starbucks and ordered an extra large coffee with sugar, the girl gave me the total and I handed her a ten dollar bill. She hands me my change and I drove off to the airport, the highway was clear from traffic which was a plus. Once I arrive at the airport
I parked the car and got out the vehicle, gathering all my belongings and went inside walked over to the baggage claim department to get my luggage checked in, l headed over to the lounge area drank my hot coffee. I know once I get on the plane, l would go right to sleep at least this was a direct flight to New York, l would take a Lyft to the house. I watched people come in and out the terminal
I just sit here and play solitaire on my phone, I received an incoming text message from Frankie telling me that she missed me, l told her l missed her as well and l went back to playing my game. This always relaxes me besides Lena, l can't remember the last time we made love
It was on our honeymoon. I sat here thinking about the promises we made on our wedding day, in front of our friends and family. I hear announcement over the loud speaker, the flights are being called out. I put my phone away and put my back pack on my back and went to gate five. I don't bother calling Lena to let her know l'm coming home early. I would stop by the flower shop and pick up her some roses, then I would swing by the m&m store and get Frankie and Ariana something. I hold the boarding pass in my hand, the line was moving extremely slow
I handed my ticket to the guard and walked the doors
I made my way through the tunnel. And up the escalate
The flight attendant asked to see my boarding pass, she looked at it and ushered me to my seat. Which was in the first class section, l sat my bag down took out my charger
to charge my phone and took my seat, the flight attendant brought me over a pillow. I forgot mines at home
It's so cold on here, they always have the air conditioner on blast. I know their trying to kill the germs
They don't realize people can become sick, l'm glad l wore my hoodie. This was actually Lena's it has her scent on it
I packed it by mistake, she has several others so l'm sure she miss it. I stared out the window, mom seem to be in good spirits yesterday maybe it was from the medicine
They're giving her it's going to take time for us to get back on good terms again. I let her know l would keep in touch
Mom knows how to use a computer, but l'm not sure she has an email address. At least l know she'll be in good hands there, the plane is about to take off, l heard the stewardess say to one of the passsagers. I closed my eyes to take a nap, five hours later l hear announcement over the intercom system saying we were in new York
I unplugged my phone from the outlet. Looked around to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind, l ordered a Lyft. Giving the driver the address we're l was
And where l wanted to go. I put at the bottom it was going to a round trip, l needed to make a few stops before heading to the house. I made my way towards the exit
