"I'll be gone but Elvira is coming over later and I want you to spend time with someone closer to your age. I think you've spent way too much time with me."

"You're my boyfriend, Seb, so of course, I'd be with you often." I know he just wants me to form a relationship with his sister.

"I know but my sister also needs friends. You guys can go shopping and you can even buy something to wear for our date," he says as he adjusts his hair.

"Mhm." I wrap my arms around his torso and cling onto him, "You smell nice."

"Baby, I have to go."

"I don't care."

He leans down, slides his hands under my butt, and lifts me. "Love, you have work and I have work."

"I know," I respond and kiss his cheek.

"Please get that document edited by tonight, baby," he pleads.

"Don't act like I don't get my work done, Seb. I'll have it sent to you in an hour."

"Alright and make sure you eat the breakfast I left downstairs. It's the veggie wraps you asked for with hash browns and eggs."

"Ooo, yum. What are you eating?"

"I ate croissants earlier."

"Oh, ok. When will Elvira be here?"

"Around 2:00."

"Ok. Please be on time for our date." This man does not know time.

"I will because I have an alarm," he shows me his phone.

I smile, "Good. Stay safe and please think before you do anything dumb."

"I will," he captures my lips and grips my butt as he places me down.

I try to insert my tongue into his mouth but he slaps my butt and mumbles against my lips, "No." His lips move from my lips to my neck and linger there.

Pulling away, he stares at me with a stupid smirk on his face, "Make sure that is showing when you go out."

"Seb, no," I roll my eyes.

He grabs my hips, "I said what I said Elara. And I want a picture of what you're wearing," he tells me seriously.

"You're so bossy," I cross my arms.

"Also, keep your location on. I need to know where you are at all times."

"You don't need to know my every move, Seb."

"Hell yeah, I do. Don't let me have to track you down."

"Whatever, you can leave now," I let go of him.

He pulls me back and looks down at me, "We are not doing this today."

I pucker my lips and he leans down to kiss me, "I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

I've been working for about 4 hours now and I'm waiting for Elvira to arrive. She texted that she was on her way about 20 minutes ago so, I am now dressed and getting a snack.

Walking into the pantry, I see her with a shopping back grabbing snacks.

"Oh, hey! I didn't know you were here already."

"I was going to call you after I got everything I needed. I'm low on groceries, so this is where I go when I'm too lazy to shop."

"Oh, girl I understand, I would do the same. We can go to the grocery store today though, I don't mind."

"Perfect, but I still want these."

I giggle, "Do you want me to wait in the car?"

"Yeah, I'll be right out."

Before I go to the car, I snap a quick photo for Emilian.

══════════════════

*Attachment*

Me: Happy?

Hubby❤️: Yup. You look gorgeous🤤

Me: Thank you, baby. How is your day

going so far?

Hubby❤️: Eh, could be better.

Me: Sounds like you should've

stayed with me👀

Hubby❤️: Nope, I'm good.

Me: Bye🙄✋🏽

Hubby❤️:😂😂

"Is that Emilian?" I hear is Elvira settles into the car.

"Yup. How did you know?"

"You have the biggest grin on your face right now."

I blush and try to put on a serious face, "No I don't ."

"Are you trying to convince me or yourself?" she raises her eyebrows.

"Fine. Maybe I do. What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Do you have someone that makes you smile?" I ask.

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Ooo please tell! I need some new tea in my life."

"Well, me and this guy have been dating for about a year now and we haven't made it public because I'm scared of what Emmy would think if he finds out.

"What? Why? He would be happy for you!"

"Yeah, I don't know about that," she sighs.

"Well, it's your decision and I won't tell him if you're not ready yet," I reassure him.

"Thanks."

"So, where are we off to first?"

"We can go shopping for your date then to the grocery store. I think that's all we have time for."

"Do you know any good stores that would have my size?"

"Yup and it's lowkey so there won't be a lot of people."

"Sounds good."

"If you don't mind me asking, where did you guys meet?"

I smile, "We met in Switzerland, for work. I did not expect to meet the love of my life on a business trip but I did and I'm not complaining."

"Ok, miss. I didn't ask for all of that," she tells me.

"I'm sorry," I giggle.

"How long did it take you guys to get together."

"Maybe like a week. When you have a lot of one on one time with your crush, your feelings develop faster. At least for me, it took me a few days, but he claims it was love at first sight for him."

"Oh, I understand that. I met mine at work too. Not in a hotel but it was good enough."

"How has your communication been?"

"Kinda off lately. He's in a predicament where he can't help himself and neither can I. So, we wait."

"I hope you guys work out because I want to see you happy. Is there anything Emilian can do?"

"Maybe, but he wouldn't do it. He would never listen to me and would be very angry," she says sadly with her eyes fixed on the road.

"When you're ready, I can be there if you want. I won't let him do or say anything that would hurt you."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"Do you want to stop for something to eat?" she questions.

"Yes please, I'm hungry."

"Anything in mind?"

"Nope. Just take me to your favorite spot," I look out the window and watch as we leave the secluded area, into the city. I observe as couples walk together hand in hand, laughing with each other. Others, rushing around and probably on their way back to work. Then there are groups of teens chatting and just having a good time.

"I'm guessing you haven't been out much."

"Nope. Seb hasn't taken me around yet. He's been busy and also cautious. I'm actually surprised he let me out today."

"It's because there are men following us."

"Oh, I thought they were for you."

"I wish. I get 2 guards."

"Well, how much are there behind us now?" I question.

"Between twenty and thirty guards."

My eyes widen, "What?!"

"He's a bit crazy about you."

I roll my eyes, "I feel bad that their day is just following two girls shopping."

"Don't worry. This is a vacation for them."

"They don't take breaks?"

"Nope. Emilian is not that much of a sweetheart at work."

"Not even a break for the holidays?" I ask sadly

"Yeah, but it's only one day."

"That's inhumane, what the hell! What about their families?"

"Maybe we should just eat and shop later."

"Elvira?!"

"Don't ask me! I don't even know why I'm answering these questions. Talk to your boyfriend about it," she exclaims as if she said too much.

"Fine, I want a sandwich. Are there sandwiches where we are going?"

"Yup!"

"Perfect."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"Do you like this dress?" I hold the purple tie-dye satin dress with a plunging neckline against my body.

"Hmmm, I'd have to see it in you."

"Alright, where are the changing rooms?"

"Right over here," I worker leads me there.

"Thank you."

She nods with a smile and leaves me to change. I slip on the dress without looking in the mirror and call Elvira over. "Elvira!"

"Yeah?"

"Take a look."

"I'm here," she walks in and gasps. "You look so good!" she puts her hand over her mouth.

"Should I look in the mirror?"

"Hell yeah!"

I turn and observe how I look in the dress. I smile, "I like the way it fits me."

"Oh girl, Emmy would love this. How does he handle all of that as-," I cut her off.

"Language!"

"Sorry," she says guiltily. "I honestly cannot stop staring."

I roll my eyes playfully, "I'm going to change now, then we can leave to get your groceries if you don't want anything else."

"Yeah, I don't think I'm buying anything."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"Your house is beautiful," I stare in awe.

"Thanks, Emmy built it for me," she grins.

"Awwww, he's so sweet!"

"What was the occasion?"

"I was 20 and wanted to leave my parents' home but I wasn't there financially so, he surprised me with it."

"My baby is so sweet," I say softly.

"He's nice sometimes," she shrugs. Help me with the groceries."

"Of course."

"Hurry up before they come in and try to lift everything. I'd rather them not be in my house. Very few people know how my house interior looks."

"Your style is so admirable. I'm too basic for this though," I examine the furniture. "Where do you want these?" I ask, referring to the bags in my hand.

"Just leave all of the snacks in the bag and put up the cold and frozen foods."

"You have good taste in snacks. I might just steal some."

"I don't mind sharing," she shrugs.

"It's fine, we should get home so I could get ready. We spent way too much time in two shops."

"You're right, but at least we had fun."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

I check myself over in the mirror and finally decide that I'm ready to go.

I texted Seb that I'm ready 20 minutes in advance so that he arrives on time but he hasn't answered my text. However, don't want to call because I might be interrupting something.

Elvira's sitting on the couch, eating popcorn, and scrolling through social media. "Don't you have mafia work too?" I ask.

"Yup, but I took the day off just for you," she blows a kiss.

I roll my eyes, "What could he possibly be doing?"

"I don't know. Just wait it out a bit."

"Yeah, I will."

After an hour of watching tv with Elvira, Seb has still not arrived and I'm getting tired of waiting.

I turn to her and plead, "Will you please take me to his warehouse? I'll say I threatened you to take me."

"You're trying to get me in trouble."

"I'm sorry but your brother has me waiting around for him and I need to know what he is doing.

"Only because I love seeing my brother in trouble."

"Yay!"

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

Entering the building, it is very noisy and not the most organized. The first thing that stood out was the drugs sitting on tables surrounded by men.

There are also tables with stacks of money being counted by multiple men and machines.

It's like an endless room of illegal activities. I tap one of the men overseeing and ask, "Um, do you know where Mr. Moldovan is?"

"Do you want me to notify him on your arrival ma'am?"

"Nope, it's a surprise visit."

He leads me through an extremely long hallway with very few doors and I think I even heard screaming along the way. I already hate being here.

We are at the front of his office door and I stop him, "You can go now. I've got it from here."

I use my fingerprint and thankfully the door opens. I walk in to see five men standing around his desk laughing and having a good time. He's sitting comfortably on the edge of his desk, laughing along with them with a beer in hand.

It's not long before one by one they look and stare at me. And finally, Seb realizes why they stopped talking. I fold my arms and wait for him to say something.

"Everybody out. And keep your eyes to yourself," he demands.

He looks at his watch and sighs, "Baby, I'm sorry." He walks towards me and tries to touch me.

"Don't touch me Emilian." I came here to say so much and now all I want to do is cry. "Never mind, you can continue with whatever you guys were doing."

"Where are you going?"

"Well, I'm not wasting an outfit so, I'll go out with Elvira."

"Love, I lost track of time having fun with the guys. We can still go."

"No, we cannot. You are still in your work clothes and the house is 45 minutes away. Also, if you're having fun then I'll leave you to it."

"What about a date here?"

"Seb, I don't even want to stand here right now. This place is repulsing."

"Okay, let me drive you girls at least."

"Elvira can drive just fine, thanks. Will you show me the way out?"

"Nope."

"Emilian stop being like that."

"Baby, please don't leave."

"Why? I've obviously interrupted your guy time, so please carry on."

He reaches for me again and I let him place his hands on my waist. "You can go out with Elvira but let me pay for everything."

"Okay."

"And can I drive? I want to be there and make sure you're safe."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I need to make sure my girlfriend and my sister are safe."

I know for sure he's only tagging along to make sure nobody looks at me for too long; it's his possessiveness.

"Fine, but you're on punishment, and this time for real."

"Ok, lay it on me."

"You can only cuddle me when we're going to bed, no kisses until I say so, and I also want you to give your workers days off."

"The only one that sounds doable is the third," he tells me.

"Baby," I say.

"Fine. Can we begin tomorrow?"

"Nope. Right now."

"Can I get a kiss first?"

"No, because I'm so annoyed that I don't even want to kiss you."

"Elara, baby."

"What Emilian?"

"You look absolutely gorgeous."

"I know. I got dressed for you but now it's for whoever sees me tonight."

"Did any of my workers see you?"

"I don't think so."

"Good and we're going through my exit because I know how you are."

"You're mad. And don't walk behind me either."

He sighs frustratingly, "I can't look at my woman now?"

"You could've but you decided to stay with the guys."

"Fine," he groans.
