Everett leaves tomorrow for London for an entire month. I am dreading it. It is only a month, which is better than a year, I guess, but it doesn’t mean it is going to be easy. I am going to miss him. I am trying to keep it together. I don’t want to get upset around him and make it harder. These last few weeks with him have been incredible. We have barely spent any time apart. A part of that is because we knew the time would come when he would be gone for a month. I will be flying out to

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Three

    AubreyIt has been a week since Everett left. We haven’t been in contact as much as we planned. We text every day, but talking on calls and video calls, not so much. Twice since he left. He is a lot busier than he thought he would be. I am trying to be patient because I understand it is business, but I am getting annoyed. We made a plan, one that is failing, even if it can’t be helped. I don’t want to seem like some needy girlfriend. I don’t want to scare him off, but it is on my mind and getting under my skin. We have arranged a video call later, but I will need to wait and see what his plans are. Between getting the business up and running, getting to know the employees and potential clients, he is not only at the new office but also at dinner and drinks. He has a lot going on, and I really do understand that, but is it so bad of me to want him to fit me into that busy schedule? I am not one who asks for much. I sigh and rest back on my desk chair. I need to focus on work, not Ever

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Two

    EverettI knew this goodbye was going to be hard, but I don’t think I realised how hard until now. Aubrey is sitting across from me in the car outside the airport. Her eyes filled with sadness, tears brimming in them, but she is forcing them back because she doesn’t want to cry. I should never have agreed to this! I feel guilty for leaving her. Aubrey needs me here, not thousands of miles away for an entire month. What if Benji comes back? Who is going to be there to protect her? I should be, but I won’t be.The tears she is trying to hold back begin to roll down her cheeks. My chest constricts as I watch her. It is like a stab in the heart since I am the cause of the tears. I reach in and wipe them away with my thumb.“Aubrey, please don’t cry,” I whisper. It is making everything harder.A whimper escapes from her lips. “I am sorry. I promise myself I wouldn’t cry.”“Tell me to stay and I will. Just say the words, and I will call Hugo and tell him I can’t go after all.”“Everett, I w

    AubreyEverett leaves tomorrow for London for an entire month. I am dreading it. It is only a month, which is better than a year, I guess, but it doesn’t mean it is going to be easy. I am going to miss him. I am trying to keep it together. I don’t want to get upset around him and make it harder. These last few weeks with him have been incredible. We have barely spent any time apart. A part of that is because we knew the time would come when he would be gone for a month. I will be flying out to see him in a couple of weeks. It will only be for a weekend. I have told Hugo and Erica I am going to a retreat in LA for a few days. They believe me. Why wouldn’t they? They don’t have any reason to doubt me. I still hate lying to them. Everett and I are considering telling them about us once he returns from London. We want to see how the time apart treats us before we say anything.I am at his house, where we are spending the night. It is closer to the airport. His flight leaves at nine tomorr

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-One

    EverettI am meeting Hugo for lunch today to discuss our new business opportunity. I have made up my mind. I will go, but only for a few weeks, no longer. I refuse to leave Aubrey for so long. If Hugo doesn’t accept my suggestions, he can find someone else to go because it won’t be me.I arrived a few minutes ago, and I soon saw Hugo come in, glancing around looking for me. He smiles when he spots me, strolling over and takes his seat across from me. We order our coffees before we get down to business. We can order lunch soon.“Have you made up your mind?” he asks.“Yes. I am not going, not for a year. I will go for a few weeks to get things started, but you will need to find someone to come with me who can take over.”“Why only a few weeks? I thought you would have jumped at the opportunity to go somewhere new, open a new business and earn millions.”He doesn’t sound annoyed at me, more surprised.“Things have changed. I can’t go for a year. It is too long. I will be leaving somethin

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty

    AubreyI am nervous as I drive up the long driveway that leads to Everett’s place. I have barely spoken to him. Once, while he was on his way home, but that has been it. I don’t know how tonight will go, how the conversation will go. I have no idea what mood he is in. He will still be stressed out. I come to a stop, taking a few deep breaths before getting out of the car.I am surprised when I see Everett standing at the front door, waiting for me. He smiles as I approach and instantly returns it. Has his mood picked up?“Hi,” I say, kissing him softly.“Hello, beautiful.” He replies as we part from the kiss.Everett reaches for my hand, leading me inside and locks up behind him. He doesn’t say another word and guides me to the living room, and we take a seat on the sofa. I notice a bottle of wine and two glasses on the table. The scent of dinner cooking travels through the air from the kitchen.“Dinner won’t be long. Do you want some wine?”“A small glass.”Nodding, he pours us each

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Fifty-Nine

    EverettIt’s not even one in the afternoon, and I am sitting in a bar, nesting my second scotch. I am stressed out. The bar probably wasn’t the best idea, but I didn’t know where else to go. The opportunity to start a new office in London is a great opportunity, not only for the business itself, but also for Hugo and me. If it weren’t for Aubrey, I would have said yes without even thinking about it. Hugo was surprised when I told him I needed to think about it since business has always been my top priority. It took everything in me not to tell him I can’t because I am with Aubrey, but I couldn’t. I am disappointed that Aubrey told me that if I wanted to go, I should. I expected her to tell me not go without adding anything else to it. This is just my luck. I finally find someone I want to be with, someone I don’t want to push away or have nothing to do with and then a great business opportunity comes up. I would ask Aubrey to come with me, but how would we explain that one?I sigh, fi
