A ROYAL SURPRISE

♠️Chapter 49♠️

"There is a kind of love that can never be forgotten"

*~*~*

It's been two weeks, two getting to three, and yet here I am, pathetically gazing around the apartment where I first bared out my heart to him. Where I told him who I truly was and what was going on in my life, because it was so easy to talk to him. It was the first time I sat with him in the couch, when he hugged me, while we watched Money Heist. It was the first time where I first tasted his cooking.

And it still hurts. Will I really ever get over it? Will I ever heal?

A tear slips down my left cheek, before my right, before I start sobbing. The heart wrenching pain that feels like my insides are tearing out.

At least that's alright, this is the first time in two weeks since I've cried, so I think that is good. It's not that bad. That is until I saw the For Rent Sign that the owner placed on the door, and I decided I just couldn't do this. I just can't allow them to rent all my memories out to someone, and watch them fade away.

So maybe this is a stupid decision, but I wipe the tears off my face and enter my apartment, and ring the landlady.

"Hello. This is Eufy-Loviette Johnson. I live in your apartment" I say, breathing out and trying to decide if really is a good decision, but I can't even think straight, my emotions are all over the place.

"Yes Miss Johnson. How may I help you?"

"Uh... I saw that you had put a rent sign out for the apartment that recently went vacant"

"Yes Miss Johnson I have. What about it? Do you want to rent it in addition to yours?" She asks with amusement laced in her voice. If only she knew...

"Something like that. You know I have a baby on the way. And two rooms is not quite enough for me. So I was thinking if I could add that apartment to mine? Since it's just a single room in there?"

"What do you mean add it to yours?"

"I mean I was to join both apartments...." I trail off, suddenly unsure of this whole thing. Do I really want to do this?

The real question is, is the landlady going to allow it?

"Miss Johnson-

"Don't worry I am going to take the cost of it"

"It's not about the cost Miss Johnson. I have a way I designed the apartments for selling. Besides, they are lined by a hallway. So that is going to disrupt the entrance and exist. The whole renovation is going to disturb the people in the complex. I'm sorry Miss Johnson but that's just not possible"

I feel deflated, the tears burning behind my eyes again, "Okay thank you" I say and hung up. She's right about everything, it was a stupid decision anyway.

Get over it Eufy.

I take my bag and make my way out of my apartment, forcing myself to not look in the direction of the one opposite mine, and find my way to my car, driving to get my appointment done.

I know I was supposed to go last week, but with everything that has been happening, I need a break. I really need a break. A vacation. A getaway. Before I give birth and become a mom, which technically I already am, but when the baby is born is just more responsibilities with no one there to help.
