"Seb, can you get me a gallon of orange juice from the cold foods aisle?" Emilian was persistent in bringing me to the food store so, you know I have to put him to work.

He comes back with a Tropicana orange juice and I smile, "This is perfect, thank you." He removes me from pushing the cart and I walk ahead of him grabbing my essential foods and hygienic products. Then I picked up loads of snacks and drinks.

"Baby, are you getting anything for your house?" This man didn't grab a single thing the whole time we've been in the grocery store.

"I already have more than enough food at home, now I just need you there," he whispers the last part.

I let out a giggle but, I could tell he wasn't joking. "Alright I'm done, let's go."

He helps me place the groceries down to be scanned and before I can pull out my wallet, his card is already in the machine.

The cashier speaks up, "Sir, your total is $678.34."

"That's fine just tell me when I can swipe."

He pays for everything and he carries them all to the car, packing the bags into his trunk. This man is something else.

I've never had a man in my life that cared this much for me or shown this amount of effort to make me happy. Not even my dad, and maybe that's why we're not on good terms.

I don't deserve this amazing man but, I'm for sure not letting him go anytime soon. I stare at him smiling as he lowers into the driver's seat.

He gives me a confused smile, "What's up love?"

"Nothing," I kiss his cheek. "We'll talk later."

"Mhm," he places his free hand on my thigh and drives off towards my apartment.

I unlock the door, and he walks in looking around. "Your apartment looks and feels so cozy. I can see it so much better in the daytime."

"Thank you, I designed it," I say flipping my hair.

"Maybe you can design our future home," he tells me with his very intimidating, deep eye contact.

"I guess we'll see about that," I turn to unpack the groceries. "Are you staying for dinner?"

"Undoubtedly. Although, I would much rather stay the night."

"Seb you have your own house to stay at. You can't abandon your home just to stay with me."

"Love, I'd sell my home to remain here with you," he says seriously.

"Why do you want to stay so badly," I cross my arms because I genuinely wanted to know.

"Because I'm severely addicted to you, to the point where it's scary. I know it's only been a short time since we've met each other but, I can't exactly control how I feel. I want and need you near me every second of the day." I'm going to cry.

"Baby, I didn't know it was that bad. You're the clingiest person I've ever known," I giggle. "What if we sleepover every weekend and throughout the week we can facetime when we miss each other.

I don't know if you could tell, but I miss being with you too. I guess it's a bit different because I don't want you around me when I feel like I need personal space and, that's less likely to happen if we're not in the same home," I explain.

"Love, I don't care if you're grumpy or annoyed with me. I'll give you the space you need because eventually we're going to buy a house together and I don't plan on sleeping in different rooms. We both have to make an effort to get to that point," he tells

me seriously.

"You're right," I sigh and hug him tightly. "Why are you so damn perfect ."

"It's really you baby," he leans down and kisses me gently. I let out a soft moan and he grips my waist, warning me to stop.

"Dinner," I try to remind him in between kisses but it comes out as a moan. My body is betraying me.

He tells me "shhh" but, we eventually stop after I push him away and he whines from loss of touch. "Seb you can kiss me anytime you want," I giggle.

"You're right, but I want your lips now."

I peck his lips a few times, "There, that's enough for you. Now put me down so I can get started on dinner."

He places me on the floor but, doesn't let go. I glare at him. "You said to put you down and I did."

I put my hands on my hips, "Emilian Sebastian Moldovan, let me go unless you're helping with dinner." He doesn't move.

"If you don't let go of me right now, I'm not sleeping over for two weekends." I hope he agrees to let go because I'm actually looking forward to cuddling with him.

"Alright, alright I'm leaving," he releases me, "but you wouldn't do that right?" he asks nervously.

"I guess we'll never know," I push him out of the kitchen, "The remote for the television is on the couch."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

We're cuddling on the couch until it's time for him to leave. He's laying down on his back and I'm laying on my stomach between his legs, looking up at him.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asks out of nowhere.

"Hmmmm... I'm not sure, I have to think about it. Give me until next week and I'll come back to you."

He smacks my butt with force. And I gasp, "Emilian! You know your hands are heavy as hell." My butt hurts immensely but I won't lie, I kinda liked it.

He starts to rub my butt, "I'm sorry baby, but you play too much," he tries to kiss me but I swerve him.

"Yes I'll be your girlfriend Seb, but don't be hitting me that hard. It hurts," I pout.

He does it again and this time I moan, "Are you sure you don't want me to do it again?" he smirks.

I bury my face in his chest and mumble, "Shut up."

We chat for about 10 more minutes and I look at the time and an hour has gone by. It's 10:00 and he's supposed to be home by now.

"Baby, look at the time. You were supposed to leave an hour ago."

"I'll just leave early tomorrow. No big deal."

"Yes, big deal. You know if we wake up together, we'll never make it out of bed."

"I'm the C.E.O., who cares?"

I go against my desires and get up, letting go of him. "Emilian get up. I'm not going to be your distraction because I know how important your company is to you."

"Believe it or not, but you are way more important to me than my company."

"I figured, but it's my job to make sure you stay on track. Not as your assistant, but as your girlfriend," I give him a quick kiss.

"Now go home. Don't let me repeat myself Mr." I point at him.

"Ok, ok. I'll talk to you later."

He kisses my forehead and I shut the door.

"Liv, oh my gosh!" I open my front door fully to let her in, only for her to jump on me.

"Lara, you have no idea how much I've missed you," she squeezes me tighter.

"Liv, I am very excited to see you but, why the hell are you at my door at 11:30 in the night," I exclaim.

She slowly pulls a night bag from behind her and nervously asks, "Sleepover?"

I glare at her, "Fine but you're sleeping on the couch."

"Yay! Let's watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'll go change first."

Minutes later she exits the bathroom and I say, "Liv, we should make a fort and we'll both just sleep on the floor."

"Sure, I don't mind."

"We are so creative, I love us," she takes a photo of the setup. "Which episode are we watching first."

She thinks for a bit, "Let's just start from season si-,"

The sound of my phone ringing stops her and I look down to see it's Emilian. That's strange.

"Hold on Liv, I'll be back. Start without me," I tell her.

When I get to my room I answer the phone quickly, "Seb is everything ok?"

"Yes love, I'm fine." I let out a sigh.

"Why are you calling this late then?"

"Well, I'm on a plane right now heading to Romania. And before you freak out, no I'm not running away."

I laugh, "Seb we both know you can't last that long without me. It's ok though because I can't last long without you either"

"Good to know love. But the reason I'm going is that Elvira is going into labor, and I don't want to miss the birth of my niece. I would've asked you to come, but I thought you would think it's too soon to meet my family," he explains.

"Baby, I understand. Just do what you have to do and hurry up come back to me," I pout. "Please send me pictures and bring me back a souvenir."

"Of course I will. I'll call you tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok bye, mwah," I hang up.

I head back to the living room and lay next o Liv. I tell her about Emilian leaving for Romania for an emergency but, I didn't tell her what it was exactly. I sadly lay in her arms for a bit before consuming lots of Takis.
