I pull out the PJs I bought for Madeline and me to wear tonight. Hers is a pink, fluffy crop top and pants set because she likes to dress cozy. On the other hand, mine is a sexy, green satin two-piece set. It's very comfortable and makes me feel confident about my body.

I hold mine against myself and ask her, "You like it?"

"Yessss, it's super cute but I like that one better, it looks more comfortable." She yanks it out of my hand and walks towards the bedroom.

"You were supposed to say, 'Thanks my wonderful bestie. You know me so well,' but no, I can't even get a thank you," I roll my eyes.

"Thank you best friend, I love you," she says blowing kisses.

"Too late." I wash my face with my cleanser and I take a bit of her moisturizer she left on the counter. After applying it, I run my fingers over my face.

"Oooo girl my skin feels good. I need to add this moisturizer to my daily routine. How much was it?" I ask Mads as I lay on the bed.

"It was $53." My jaw drops. "What the hell Madeline, that's a lot of money for a small jar of moisturizer. I need to find a job before I invest in a $53 moisturizer."

"It's totally worth it though and you're job searching? What are you looking to do?."

"I think I want to work at a preschool. I wouldn't mind working with adorable kiddos all day. I won't be having a child anytime soon so why not look after others?"

"Girl you have the patience that I don't. I think you should go for it since you want to do it," she says as my phone begins to ring.

"It's Lucian," I tell her.

She stands up and sighs, "Good luck, shout if you need me." She walks out and shuts the door gently.

I answer and watch as the call connects. I immediately face my camera to the ceiling and avoid looking at his face but, as soon as he talks, I soften a bit.

"Babygirl can I see you," he asks sadly. I almost feel bad but, I remember why I'm upset.

"You lost that privilege earlier when you decided to hang up without an explanation and refused to do the bare minimum like telling me about your day."

"I had something important to do."

I laugh, "Ok Lucian, I have something important to do also." I hang up and tears slowly leave my eye. I hear a knock on the door, "Eliza are you ok? Can I come in?"

"I'm fine, just give me five minutes." I bury my face into my pillows, to calm myself down. I hear my door unlock and footsteps approach my bed "Madeline I said I'm good, you don't have to comfort me."

I'm then picked up into large arms, and I automatically wrap my legs around their torso and my arms around their neck. I look up to see the man that has me crying right now.

I gasp, quickly wiping my eyes and hiding my face. "No stop. You can't see me like this," I tell him trying to move away from him.

"Babygirl, you look sexy as hell right now, so don't say that."

I start blushing for a second, but quickly realize that we're not on good terms. "Lucian put me down, I'm good now." He lets me down gently, looking at me sadly. Ugh, I hate being like this to him but I have to keep my guard up.

"Can I at least get a hug?" he pleads. I look up at him and this man is extremely tall. I'm 5"7 and he makes me feel like I'm tiny as hell.

I nod my head and I melt into his arms as he embraces me. I feel his hands slowly move down to my waist and I quickly pull away.

I punch his arm playfully, "Stop Lucian." He just smirks. I roll my eyes and walk towards the door. He pulls me back by my waist and whispers in my ear, "I'm sorry baby, let me explain."

I sit down on the edge of the bed, "I'm listening."

"I'm sorry I hung up so suddenly today, there was something involving my work that had to be handled at that moment. And babygirl, I know I kept saying it was something important but, you should be my main priority. I'm sorry if I made you feel like you were insignificant to me because baby that's far from the truth. My relationship with you is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time and I don't plan on giving you up anytime soon."

I stand up and hug him, "I don't plan on leaving either but, you better step it up because you have no idea how you made me feel." I inhale his scent and he smells expensive and sexy.

"I still can't believe you're in my arms right now," he says with a deep chuckle.

I bite my lips looking up at him, "You look and smell so good."

He smirks, "Thank you, babygirl. You look amazing," he leans in to kiss me but I swerve him.

"You have to earn kissing privileges, so you know not to play with me anymore."

He stares at my lips and looks up into my eyes, "Fine but, those lips are mine forever after I touch them so don't think you can keep rejecting me."

I giggle, "We'll see."

"Well if I can't be kissing on you, then you need to put on some more clothes."

"You're staying the night?" I ask excitedly.

"Yes, babygirl," he says grinning.

"Yayyyyy! How long are you staying here in New York?"

"Only three days but I promise I'll be back as soon as I can."

I nod my head understanding. Glimpsing at the clock, I see it's 3:00 a.m. "It's super late late, how'd you find a flight to come here at this time?

"I have a private jet that allows me to go wherever I want, whenever I want," he tells me. This man is definitely a billionaire but, I don't know what he does because he's private about that part of his life.

"Well, where did you come from?"

"Toronto."

"Oh, ok. Come on let's go to bed, I'm sleepy and I need cuddles."

I hop into bed and he gets in behind me still wearing his shirt and sweatpants.

"Babe, don't you want to at least take off your shirt? You're going to sweat with all of these clothes under the blankets."

He pulls me closer, kissing my cheeks. "I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Goodnight babygirl."

"Goodnight."

The front door slams shut and he walks in the house casually, "Love, why are you up? It's super late and I didn't want you to wait for me."

"Why am I up!?" I exclaim. "You left the house without speaking to me and I was worried."

"Why were you worried? I just went to the airport to pick up Luci, and I dropped him at your sister's apartment."

"You could have said something."

"But, love, didn't you see my note?"

Oh. "Umm... you left a note?" I say awkwardly.

"Yes, baby I left it on the fridge. See look," he points to the fridge. I guess I didn't look around good enough.

I try to reach for it but it's too high. I turn to him with my hands on my hips, "Seb how did you expect to reach that." He burst out laughing.

I blush and say, "Stop you're not funny."

He leans down to kiss me, "You're adorable. I'm sorry I had you worried, I'll put it lower next time. Let's go to bed, we have work in the morning."

He picks me up, "Seb no, your stitches."

"Leave me alone woman. I told you I'm good."

We get upstairs and I crawl into bed as he shuts off the lights. Once he joins me, I snuggle up into him, "Good night baby, I love you."

"I love you too."
