Last night I tried to cuddle with Seb but he moved away from me and went downstairs so he's most likely sleeping on the couch.
I use the toilet, brush my teeth, and wash my face then put on one of his shirts but I don't bother to put on shorts. I walk downstairs to find him sitting on the couch and typing on his laptop.
"Good morning baby."
"Good morning," he says briefly.
I sigh lifting his laptop and placing it on the coffee table. I straddle his lap and lift his chin so he's forced to look at me.
"Baby, please tell me why you're upset." I rub my hand up and down his arms.
"I'm fine Elara."
"Seb I know that you're definitely not fine, so please talk to me. You're not even touching me, and your hands are always roaming around my body." I cross my arms and continue, "And what happened to Love. You never call me by my name."
"You're right I'm just overreacting. Let's just forget about it."
"Baby we are going to talk about this because I don't want to make you feel like this again. You completely shut me down last night and I did not like it," I tell him softly.
He sighs, "Would you rather a younger man?"
I smile at him softly, "No, baby. You are not that old to me and besides, I love older men, hence why I love you. And I don't want anyone else but you, so let's shut down those doubts right now." I embrace him and whisper, "I love you."
He squeezes my butt cheeks and mumbles, "I love you too, baby."
We remain on the couch snuggling for a bit until I pull away. "Are we good now?"
"Yes, love. Now go put on some clothes I don't need any distractions," he says as I stand.
I giggle at his remark, "I will."
I hand him his laptop and head back upstairs to shower and get some work done.
â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£
"Seb, I'll be back. I'm going to pack my things, and I'll call when I need you."
He responds, "You don't want to ride together?"
"No, because I know you have to work and I'll be fine without you for a few hours. I love you." I kiss him.
"I love you too," he mumbles against my lips.
I drive to my apartment and take about 3 hours to pack everything I need. There are several boxes in the living room with different labels: clothing, shoes, hair stuff, bedding, books, toiletries, and food.
As I'm closing the last boxes. Emilian calls. "Hey, baby."
"Open the door, love, I'm outside."
I open the front door to see him waiting impatiently. "Seb, I said I'd call you."
He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his torso. "The house felt empty without you. You can't leave me alone for this long." He places me on the counter and buries his head into my neck.
I run my finger through his silky hair choosing not to argue with him. "Well, you're just in time because I'm done packing. I have about five big boxes of clothes which I'll put in my car, then the others could go in yours."
"Alright, and when are you going for your sister?"
"Right now actually. Her flight lands in 30 minutes and it'll take me an hour to get there," I explain. "Oh, and I wanted to ask, is Luci single?" I ask hopping off of the counter.
"Yeah, why?"
"I wanted to set him up with my sister."
He smirks, "I'll let him know. Drive safely, I love you."
"I love you too." Before he can kiss me, I rush out of the door.
"You owe me kisses when you get back!" he shouts.
I giggle running away. Once downstairs and in my car, I begin my hour drive to the airport.
â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£â£
Once I'm at the airport, I search through the crowds of people until I see Eliza and a girl I recognize as her best friend, but I don't know much about her. I run up to my sister and pull her into squeezing her tightly.
"Oh my gosh Lara I missed you so much!" she squeals.
"I missed you too Liza." I look at her friend and smile. "Hi I'm Eliza's older sister and you are?"
"I'm Madeline but you can call me Mads," she gives me a shy smile.
"I'm guessing you guys are staying together? Because Eliza didn't tell me you were coming."
Eliza speaks up, "She decided to come last minute. She's going to sleepover for a few days, but she'll be staying at her parents' most of the time. "
"Lovely, let's go then."
As we head to the apartments Eliza asks, "So Lara, where's Emilian."
"He's at the apartment moving my things to the car. You'll see him when we get there," I say smiling.
"Mhm ok. We're hungry can we get some food?"
"Yeah sure, what do y'all want."
They look at each other then simultaneously say, "Wendy's."
"Sure loves, and could you send me a picture for Emilian's best friend. Something cute."
"Ok, I'll send you a selfie and a full body picture. Mads help me choose," she leans over to her friend. "I need an honest opinion on which photos I look the best in," I hear her say and they continue chatting.
I tune them out and listen to music until we arrived at Wendy's. I park and pull out $50 from my wallet. "Here you go. Get whatever y'all want, but I want a spicy chicken combo with a sweet tea and a large fry."
"Kk. Come on Mads you are taking too long," she says rolling her eyes as Madeline puts her shoes back on.
"Girl, shut up. I can take as long as I wanted."
I laugh and they close their doors, walking towards the entrance. I check my phone to see that Eliza sent the photos so, I text Seb."
ââââââââââââââââââ
Me: Hey baby, I got some pics of Eliza
that you can send to Luci.
Sebð: send them and I'll show him now because we're on a call.
Sebð: he said to send her number ASAP
Me: ðð ok

I wait about 10 more minutes before they're back with the food. I place Seb's food in the front seat and we head to the apartments.
I unlock the door to see Emilian sitting on the couch, talking on the phone.
"I placed new sheets on the bed and I'm leaving everything in the living room and kitchen so you should be good. I'll carry y'all to the shop after work tomorrow for anything else you need."
Seb walks towards us, no longer on the phone. "Hi ladies, I'm Elara's boyfriend, Emilian. I know you're Eliza," he points to my sister then looks to Madeline. "I don't think I've met you as yet."
She blushes and says, "I'm Madeline, Eliza's friend."
He shakes her hand, "Nice to meet you, Madeline." I look down at their hands touching.
This is the moment I find out that I don't like Seb touching other girls, even if it's for a few seconds. "Alright girls, we're going to leave you to settle down." I hug Eliza and kiss her cheek. "Bye Liza I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow." With that, we walk out to take the elevator.
He tells me, "Love, I ended up putting all the boxes in my car."
"I didn't know it would fit so that's amazing. I bought you food on the way in case you were hungry. Do you want it now or when we get home?"
"I'll eat at home, thank you." he kisses my forehead. "Drive safely and pay attention to the road," he tells me.
The elevator opens, "I know baby, I love you."
"I love you too," I say walking to my car as he goes to his.
