Love you, until my last breath

Together (2)

Chapter 8.2

I slowly open my eyes as I feel a cold and hard thing on my back when I completely open my eyes. I was on the kitchen floor.

I was lying on the kitchen floor, no one to pick me up on the cold flooring. I did pass out; I didn’t really know how to describe that feeling when no one is there with you. At some point in my life, I came to think about what would happen to me in New York without Luke. I know I have Rebecka, but what if she has already met her man?

I pulled out all my strength to stand and get my phone. A lot of missed calls from Luke and Aubrey. I breathe in and get some water from the fridge. I drink 3 glasses of water; I am very thirsty. When I pulled out myself, I called back Luke first but, he’s not picking up. I checked the time in New York. Since its 3am in the morning, that’s why. I just left a message

I called Aubrey; she answered immediately. “God Lara! I’ll been calling!” Aubrey frown.

“Sorry. I fell asleep.” I lied. I shouldn’t say that. I should have said the truth, so she can help me, God herself! Why are you doing this to yourself? “Your flight is today and we haven’t gotten a farewell party. Cause you fall asleep”

“I know, I was just really tired.”

“Hmmp! I don’t know when I will see you again.”

“I will surely be back here.” I assured her and we said goodbye since Aubrey wouldn’t be able to arrive here because, as I checked the time. It’s 9am, which means I only have 4 hours to prepare for my flight. I sighed and walked to my room staring at the luggage that I packed yesterday. I roamed my eyes around the room and stared at the huge class that made me see the beautiful brownish natural style of Luxembourg.

“KNOCKKK*** KNOCKK

It took me a few moments before I heard the knock. I immediately opened the door and my eyes stood on the flowers because they were blocking the face of the person in front of me. But I knew who this might be.

“You really think I can bring that flower to the airport?” I chuckled.

“Yes, you can.” He said and gave me a warning look, but eventually smiled and handed me the flower. “Thank you.” I said and watched him get inside and look around.

“You know that Aubrey booked this for you.”

“Really?”

“Yup, she’s super excited to see you. How could a woman not possibly have a social media account?”

“I just don’t like social media.” I barely had enough time to use them.

“So, are you packed yet?” Jonas asked. I nodded

We spent time with me having some talks and he waited for me to get dressed. He volunteers to drive me to the airport since Aubrey won’t be able to. Peering inside the living room, I could see Jonas sitting comfortably in the living room. Playing some mobile games. After I fixed myself, I took the luggage out of my room and Jonas helped me.

It took us 10 minutes before we successfully reached the parking lot where Jonas parked his car. As he packed the luggage at the back. I called Luke but still didn’t answer. What a sleepy man. It will only take 30 minutes to reach the airport.

“Another boring flight,” I grumbled to myself. I don’t have anyone to talk to inside the craft and it’s an 8-hour flight. “Then stay.” He suggested, but I just chuckled and looked at the window as he started to drive. I just hope that I will be able to handle that 8-hour ride again.

When we finally arrived at the airport, I still got 20 minutes before the departure and I thanked Jonas for supporting and helping me out. I hurriedly got inside the airport and fell in line. I couldn’t wait to see Luke.

Luke POV

I stretched my arms and yawned. It's so good to rest and get a good sleep. As I looked at the room and my eyes locked on the wall clock, it was 1pm. I immediately took my phone and saw Lara’s missed call. Today is Lara’s flight back to New York. I checked my messages and Lara said she had already bordered 6 hours ago and her arrival time in New York was 2pm. God, the house is a mess.

I immediately ran and cleaned the house, but I don’t know if I can clean like Lara. Whatever. After an hour of cleaning, the doorbell rang. What? Is she already here? Damn. I rushed through the door and I opened it with a super broad smile and I was about to hug her but it was not Lara.

“Sara.” I muttered,

“I need to talk to you; this won’t take long. I promise.” I let her in so she will stop bothering me

“I heard that you want me out.” She started. Finally, they had already given her the news. I was so close to hurting this woman. If I had known he would flirt with me, I should have declined.

“Just accept the relocation.” I said, sounding pissed off. Cause I am really pissed

“I will. Don’t worry, I wanted to clarify what happened that night. I know I’m not drunk, but my body was just aching for love and I didn’t stop myself. I’m sorry.” She apologized and tried to touch my arms, but I moved backwards and just stared at her. It seems like she used to like touching men,

“Just please forget that.”

“How? I can still feel yo—”

“Now go, this talk is done.” I said and pushed her to the door. I couldn’t stop my hand from pushing her, and also a fear that Lara might arrive soon.

“Please, Luke,” She begged. I was about to close the door when I saw a car parked in front of my house. I immediately noticed her feet and rushed to her. “Love!” I said and hugged her as soon as she stepped outside the car.

“I missed you!!”

“Hey can’t breathe.” She said and,, that I had missed. The driver put down her luggage and got it.

“You have a visitor?”

“My former assistant,” I simply said, and held her hand and went into the house without looking back at Sara. Before Lara opened a conversation. I started it by asking how the flight is and how it feels to be in Luxembourg.

While she gave me a story, I was active listening and preparing her food at the same time. Once she was done talking, she finally realized that he needed to call her friend from Luxembourg. While taking a phone call, I received a message while waiting for Lara. I calmly looked at the message and turned it off as soon as I saw it.

My head suddenly beat faster and I got very nervous. I just took a glimpse, but I am not sure it’s me. I knew that woman just wouldn’t stop pestering me. Despite talking to her, she is now going to blackmail me.

“Love.” I got shocked when Lara approached me and she looked at me weirdly. “I’m sorry, just thinking something.” I explained and got some juice from the refrigerator. I took a deep breath before looking at Lara.

“Don’t think of anything. I just arrived.”

“Sorry. Come here.” I chuckled and opened my arms wide to hug her. I knew a secret wouldn’t take long to spill but I just didn’t want her to get mad at me and find that reason to leave me. I knew I couldn’t leave without her if that picture got sent to her. I don’t know what to do

“Are you sleepy?” I asked. I rubbed her back and I could feel her breath come out in short, “hmmm” she said. “Let’s go? I will take you to our room.” I said and guided her to our room. Her eyes were closed and I just decided to lift her up and bring her to the take. As soon as I put her in, she pulled me and hugged me like her favorite pillow.

The following morning, I reluctantly got ready for work, got my suit and carefully got my shoe on, since my shoe was in the side drawer of the bed, when I opened the drawer. I stared at her and slowly opened the drawer but she suddenly opened her eyes and I gave her a quick kiss and said “Good Morning gorgeous.” I spoke and got my shoes.

I sat on the side of the bed and started to wear my shoes but Lara suddenly grabbed my neck and pulled me to the bed. “Why are you leaving?” she asked her.

“I’m a new Director. I should be in the office early.” I said and sat up straight again. I picked her nose and stood.
