When we got back to the hotel earlier, we barely spoke. We took showers then got in bed. I'm on my laptop watching Netflix and he's watching a random show on the tv.

All of a sudden, Seb's hands are moving up my legs and to my waist. I avert my eyes from my laptop and he's staring at me with soft eyes.

"Yes, Seb?"

"Can we talk baby?"

"Sure." I shut my laptop.

"I'm sorry, love."

"You don't have to be sorry for wanting to do your job," I fold my arms.

"Then talk to me. Stop being cold towards me," he pleads. "You're not even cuddling me," I say nothing. I watch as he leans closer, peppering kisses on my neck. "Do you really want to leave early?"

"Yup and can you back up a bit?" I can't think straight with him all over me.

"Why do you want to leave early? I said I'll spend as much time with you as I can."

"I'd rather not be sitting around waiting for you to come home when I could be in my office working."

"You know you don't need to be in the office to work, baby."

"Well, I want to be there," I shrug my shoulders.

"Okay, can you not make a decision now and we'll see how everything goes. Yeah?"

"Sure, but I don't think my mind will change."

"Elara," he groans. "I'm trying here."

"I know but that doesn't change the fact that I won't be spending much time with you. I don't mind spending time with your family, but I want us time.

I want you to take me to your favorite places, let me taste your favorite meals, and maybe do a few fun activities with you and your family. But, more than likely you won't have the time and we both know that."

"Trust me, baby, I want all of that too."

"Yeah, but unfortunately you have business to do."

He buries his face in his hands, "I don't want to lose you, baby."

"I know and you won't." He doesn't respond so, I tell him, "I'm going to sleep. Our flight is early in the morning."

"Okay, but can I kiss you first?" I hum, connecting our lips and pulling away. I then turn so that my back faces him.

He pulls me into him and kisses my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too baby."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"Good morning, baby," he tells me as I'm lying in his embrace.

"Morning."

He kisses my cheek and asks, "Do you feel better today?"

"Not really," I say softly.

"Tell me what I could do to make you feel better or to convince you to stay with me for the whole trip," he says sadly. "Baby, I need you."

"Luckily for you, you can call and I'll always be available," I get up and grab a bottle of water.

"Do you even want to go to Romania anymore?" he questions.

"I don't know," I say truthfully.

"Ok," he sighs. "Come here."

"I'm fine with standing up," I say from the edge of the bed. He sits up and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Tell me exactly what you want me to do," he says.

"Can you use the same schedule you do at home?" I ask but his eyes are focused on my chest. "Really Emilian?" I close my robe and climb off of him. I need orange juice.

I exit the bedroom, entering the main area of the penthouse. I don't know why he insisted on us staying here, rather than a regular hotel room.

I open a small bottle of orange juice that he bought me last night. "Mmm, this is good."

"I'm glad you like it." There's a pause. "I'll do it. I'll try my best to follow the same schedule."

I turn to him and smile at him softly, "Thank you, baby."

"No, thank you." he pulls me into him and leans down.

"Mhmm," as soon as my lips touch his, he groans. I allow my arms to wrap around his neck and pull him impossibly closer. He decides to let his fingers play with the end of my robe and I push him gently.

I giggle, "You're way too touchy and you're going to cause my robe to loosen."

"But you have underwear on though." Uh... I try to walk away without saying a word but he stops me by tickling me from behind. I immediately laugh and use my hands to keep my robe from becoming undone.

"Stop Seb," I say in between laughs.

"Elara, seriously, you can't keep doing this. He takes my hand and places it on his crotch area and I gasp. It's rock hard. "That's what you do to me," he says sliding his hands down to my butt and slapping it.

"Change for me baby," he tells me, still holding a handful of my butt.

"Are you going to let me go?" His eyes flicker to my lip.

"No Seb."

He leans down and kisses me softly then mumbles on my lip, "I love you so much."

"Me or my body?" I question.

"You, my love. Your sexy figure is just a huge bonus."

I blush and tell him, "I wouldn't say huge."

"Well it isn't small," he smirks.

I hit him playfully, "Let go of me."

"I'm just telling you the truth baby," he loosens his hold.

I lean in to kiss him but just when our lips are about to touch, I and run to the bathroom, locking it.

"I'm going to get you back!" he shouts from the other side of the door.

"I love youuu!" I respond and proceed to get dressed as he does the same in the other bathroom.

Thirteen hours later, we are finally in Bucharest and I'm super hungry. "That plane ride was too damn long. I don't know how you stayed up." I tell him as he loads our bags into the trunk of the car.

"I slept whiles you were sleeping baby, but then I woke up shortly before you did to take a call."

"Oh, ok. Can you put J Cole on?"

"Yeah which album, love?"

"Album?! How long will be in this car?"

"Hopefully no longer than 2 hours." Ugggghhh.

"Baby," I whine. "I'm hungry."

"I know, love," he places a kiss on my hand.

"Put on 2014 FHD."

"Mhmm." He selects the playlist and begins to drive with my left hand in his free hand.

══════════════════

Me: We're here😩

Liza🖇: How is it?

Me: I haven't seen much
as yet but I'm super hungry.

Liza🖇: Well, ask your man for food.

Me: I told him. Hopefully, he stops for food.

Liza🖇: Girl, you know he will🙄

Me: It's literally 9 a.m. here,
but I want lunch food.

Liza🖇: You want too much.

Me: Ugh😣

Liza🖇: Have you heard from Zara recently?

Me: Nope. She's been ignoring my messages.
Maybe her controlling, idiot boyfriend
deleted our numbers.

Liza🖇: I dislike that man so much, oh my gosh.

Me: Same and I was hoping to speak
to her to see if she was ok .

Liza🖇: Yeah I hope everything is fine

Me: #prayingforher

Liza🖇: Lolll actually though. That's scary.

Me: Anyways, I'm about to take a
two-hour nap until we get to his house.
I love you! Have a good night's sleep.

Liza🖇: I love you too. Call me later and send pics. Mwah!

══════════════════

I grab his sweater from the back seat and recline my seat to lie down comfortably.

"Are you taking another nap, baby?"

"Mhm," I kiss his cheek then shut my eyes.
