1 week later
*Tess*
It is saturday and I have gone to bed early, not having anything else to do. I tried watching tv but I am missing Zac to much by now to focus and as I can't call him, because he is busy tonight. Well then getting some extra sleep seemed like a good idea.
As always I have a hard time falling asleep being alone in the bed. I can't believe that there was a time when I didn't want Zac, now I can't imagine life without him and the last two weeks has been horrid to be honest.
Finally I drift off to sleep only to have a dream were I keep seeing Zac, but he has his back to me and I can't reach him. I am running for him, calling his name. The tears starting to stream down my face, realising I will never get to him. "Zac please don't leave me".
"Shh munchkin, I am not leaving you". Suddenly I feel his arms around me. I would know that voice and that embrace anywhere and I snuggle into him. I don't care it is a dream, it gives me at least a little bit of him.
I sigh, snuggling into the warmth of him, feeling his soft lips on my neck. "Hmm I just wish you were actually here and it wasn't just a dream".
"Open your eyes darling, and tell me if you are dreaming". He whispers softly next to my ear, making my eyes flutter open.
I am definately in my bedroom and I still feel Zac. I whip around looking at him, reaching up to touch his face, scared he will fade like a dream. "You.. you are really here ? But how ?"
"Well you know planes ? Work perfectly when you want to get somewhere fast". He says with a smirk and I slap him on the chest. "I missed you munchkin. I just couldn't wait two more weeks, and I have tomorrow of, so took of as soon as I was done for today and I need to fly back tomorrow evening".
I wind my arms around him, pressing myself into him. Still a bit scared it is all a dream and he is going to disappear. "You came home for one day ? Oh God Zac I missed you so much.. I love you so much I can't even..". I can't contain my feelings and star sobbing into his chest.
"Don't cry baby. I can't stand you crying, you just get me sobbing too". He mumbles into my hair, as he strokes my back softly and I press myself into him, whishing I could just stay in his arms forever.
When I get a bit more hold on myself I look up at him. The way he looks at me, with so much love in his warm eyes and a small warm smile on his lips, well he has never looked more handsome than right now. "Have I told you how utterly amazing you are Zac ?"
"Well yeah, but I don't think I can ever hear that to much". He say as his big hand comes up to cup my cheek. "I wish I knew the words to tell you how much I love you Tess".
"You don't have to Zac, everything you do show me again and again". I choke out, trying not to let emotions overwhelm me again.
He smiles softly and I lean in to kiss him, soft feathery kisses on his face, telling him between kisses how handsome and sexy he is to me and how much I love and worship him, trying to express just a bit of my feelings.

*Zac*
I am so happy I did this, seeing the love and happiness in her eyes makes it more than worth it. Not to mention having her in my arms, something I have missed so badly it has been a dull ache in my chest the last week.
Honestly I don't know how I will ever manage to be away from her for a longer periode of time. After being so close to loosing her I can't imagine being without her.
"Now you are crying Zac". She says, gently drying the tears away with her finger, making me smile. Her voice so caring. "Why are you crying ?"
"I was just thinking about the possibility that I might have to be away from you for months at some point. I don't think I can do that.. I don't think I want to do that".
She fold her leg over me, her hand softly caressing my face, running into my hair just about my ear. "I don't want to be apart from you either.. but it is part of your life to travel. You love what you do and I don't want you to stop doing it".
"I do love what I do... but I love you more.. Without you everything else kind of seems to loose it's meaning. I need you close to me". I say truthfully. I have thought a lot those two weeks about my life and what to do.
She bite her lip. "Maybe we could fix that in another way.. maybe I.. well maybe I don't need to open a new store in Texas.. maybe I just need to be were you are".
"But baking is your dream and you are soo good at it. I don't want you to give up your dream either". I tell her. I mean I would love to always have her with me. But I don't want her giving up everything for me and risk ending up resenting me.
Her hand trailing up and down along my spine, making warm chills shoot through me. She is shaking her head slightly. "You.. us is more important".
"Maybe.. maybe a compromise ? I try to avoid parts that takes me far away for to long and.. well maybe we could get you a very competent manager for your new Texas store.. someone that can take over from time to time, so you can go with me ?" I suggest.
She smile so happily. "That is perfect Zac, utterly perfect". And then she kisses me with all the passion and longing she has been saving for two weeks and I know it will be long before we will go to sleep.
