All Chapters of Wrong Intentions: Chapter 61 - Chapter 69

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

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

EverettI am both nervous and excited as I wait at the airport for Aubrey to arrive. It was touch-and-go there for a while; she only decided two days ago that she was coming. A part of me truly thought she was going to cancel. I tried my hardest to do better, but when Hugo was here, it made it harder. I can only hope that things won’t be off between Aubrey and me. I am eager to see her, but I have that doubt in the back of my mind that things aren’t going to be the same between us.I am waiting at the entrance for her, an iced coffee in my hand for her. Her flight should have landed, and she’ll be here soon. I shouldn’t be this nervous about seeing my girlfriend. Tell that to my racing heart, churning stomach and sweaty palms. I don’t know how I will react if Aubrey isn’t too happy to see me. I sigh. The thought of it is like a stab in the heart. I don’t want to mess everything up before we have had a real chance.Five minutes later, I notice her coming through. Aubrey seems anxious,

Everett Our weekend has passed too quickly! I didn’t want her to leave, but she needs to. I wish I could fly back with her, but I am stuck here for another couple of weeks. We need to leave in an hour to get to the airport. Aubrey is now just packing her things. She decided to leave it to the very last minute, so she wasn’t reminded too early that she would be leaving. She is huffing and cursing as she does, throwing everything in. If the situation didn’t lead to Aubrey leaving, then I would laugh, but I am not really in the laughing mood. “You can still stay longer, Aubrey.” She sighs loudly and turns to me. “I can’t. I need to get back to work. I can’t stay in London without telling Hugo and Erica the truth.” I draw in my breath and run my fingers through my hair. “I know, wishful thinking, I guess.” “You will be returning home in no time,” Aubrey replies, trying to put a positive spin on it. I know it is hard for me, as it is for her. Once packed, she closes her bag with forc
