I awoke to Seth moving in his sleep, looking around I saw that it was still dark outside. As I went to sit up Seth's arm held me tighter and he mumbled something under his breath. I had no idea what he said besides my name. Hell, I can't even lie. I was glad it was my name he mumbled instead of someone else's.
Finally managing to wiggle out of his grasp I stood up seeing Brooke's wallet was on the counter, walking over to it I opened it up and dug our room key out. Walking out the door I made my way to our room feeling almost as if I was sneaking away. The truth was I just needed away from Seth, I needed space, I needed air.
Throwing the room key down on the coffee table as I walked in I went to my room and collapsed down on the bed. My body was sore from sleeping the way I had and the bed felt like a cloud. Closing my eyes I felt my body drifting back to sleep but before I was fully asleep I heard a click of the door but didn't think anything about it until I felt my be
Monday morning I sat in front of my computer contemplating throwing my keyboard across the room. For some reason, nothing seemed to be going how I wanted it. Sitting back I wished Brooke was here but she had gone ahead and went into her new job. She would be allowed to work from home some days as well but she had mandatory days she had to appear in the office.Getting up I walked down the hall back to my room and grabbed my phone. I had purposely left it in my bedroom so I could get my work done with no distractions. I wanted to be free this weekend and with me doing my work and covering for another coworker I stayed busy. I had unblocked Seth from all of my social media and had followed him back so I wasn't too surprised he had tweeted this morning.He was at a skate park skating with underprivileged youth. I smiled pulling up his picture, he was a total goofball. I didn't know if I should still be mad at him or not. Brooke had suddenly become mute about her opinions
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror I ran my straightener through my hair one more time. I had yet to decide what to wear to the game and Brooke had yet to appear back at the house. Glancing up at my reflection I double-checked my makeup. I didn't want to appear to be too made up but at the same time, I didn't want to appear plain.Walking back into the bedroom I rolled my eyes at Seth laying on the bed watching tv. He wasn't worried about anything. He true to his nature was wearing a pair of red long shorts with a black shirt. I never knew that Seth wore glasses so when he put them on today I had tot
By the time we made it back to the house I was tired, all I really wanted to do was lay down. Brooke was still missing in action and I knew I should probably send her a text to check on her but I didn't bother. Hell, if she needed me she knew my number. She was more than capable of taking care of herself. It was me that seemed to always need help. Seth followed me to my room watching me take my jewelry off before I slung my jacket over my dresser and plopped crossways on the bed."I know you aren't going to sleep on me."I nodded my head pulling a pillow over to me, "I'm so tired. I know it's not that late but I feel like I've just pulled an all-nighter." Closing my eyes I heard Seth digging through his bag and I already knew what he was after. Turning my head away from the door I felt the bed sink as he sat down."You better not get weed in my bed," I mumbled to him.He nudged my legs with his feet, "get your lazy ass up. You know I have to l
It didn't take long for me to pack my bags. I had no clue what to bring so I just threw stuff in hoping that it would do. Seth helped me pack so my bag looked better than it would have if I had done it alone. He actually believed in folding things while I would have just shoved it all in and worried about the wrinkles it would make later.When Seth got the call that his ride was outside I hugged Brooke bye one last time. I hated leaving her in a funky mood but she had promised that she would be o
After we ate Seth disappeared into his office. I went upstairs and grabbed my laptop sitting in the bed pulling up my weekly email. I was glad that my weekly work assignments were sent on Sunday, it would give me a chance to go ahead and start on my own work while Seth was busy doing God knew what downstairs.I groaned as I read we were having a flash sale this weekend. That meant I would have to temporarily close the site only to bring it back up for the allotted time, then turn back around and temporarily close it again. I would have to make sure when exactly I was flying home, if it was Friday I was going to be timing things perfectly.The workload I had kept me plenty busy, when I looked up I saw it was close to 7 o'clock. I had been working a good 4 hours non stop. Saving my work and submitting what I could for approval I clicked out of my program. Standing up I ran to the restroom, figures the moment I sat down my phone started ringing. Whoever it was would just
Seth ended up calling me around 5 telling me to get ready that we were going out to eat when he made it home. I wanted to ask him a million questions over the phone but I bit my tongue knowing then wasn't the time. I had no idea how nice I needed to dress, I had no idea where we were going so I hovered over my bag for what seemed like forever.I finally chose a black tunic dress that fell just above my knees, it was basic but could also be dressed up. I paired it with a multi-strand gold chain necklace, gold bangles, and a pair of gold sandals. I was in the middle of French braiding my hair when Seth walked into the room. I hadn't heard him come up the stairs so I jumped when the door opened.He walked up on me pulling me against him as he leaned down kissing me. "Is this too much., or not enough, or..."Seth shook his head, "no you look good."I nodded at him still unsure, he had disappeared in the bathroom and I heard the shower kick on. Walking over to
When I did wake up the next morning I was sick, sicker than I had been. I found myself hovering over the toilet throwing up and not even that seemed to be helping. I began to think that my being sick and tired all the time wasn't just some virus. Grabbing my phone I saw I was a few days late. That in itself wasn't a red flag, I had never had a normal cycle. The thought alone sent me back to the bathroom throwing up.Once my stomach had settled some I sat on the edge of the bed wondering how the hell I could get ahold of a pregnancy test. It wasn't like I was about to call up and Seth ask him to pick it up. I couldn't ask any of his people, and I don't think he would be hot on me taking a taxi to the store either. I didn't know what to do so I called Brooke."Hey honey, I'm so ready for you to be home."I nodded to myself, "Brooke I think I'm pregnant."She gasped, "you're still sick?"I bit my lip, "yeah I've been nauseous and throwing up all morni
Friday morning came too soon, I had set my alarm early to wake me up so I could get ready for the flash sale. As much as I didn't feel like rolling away from Seth's warm embrace I had to get up and get the sale started. Thankfully my system didn't give me a hard time as I temporarily closed down the page. I had things back up and running within fifteen minutes.Leaving my laptop open so I would get any notifications if something went down I crawled back in bed. Seth's arms went back around me and I couldn't help but to scoot closer to him and inhale his scent. I didn't want to leave him but all good things must come to an end and our time was done.I may or may not have sulked around as we packed our bags, the sale was going smoothly so I felt confident I could check in one last time at the airport and then again when I landed in New York. Seth was sitting on the edge of the bed watching me as I laced my black converse up. "You could have stayed here, I can change your f
