finding me while loving you

part 28

Grace's POV

The next morning came rather quickly and Demi and I had jumped right into our busy work days. It was my first day of Figs and they had a busy day for me. I got up at 5am, along with Demi, and she instantly was in work mode. No morning cuddles, no shower together, no eating breakfast together. Demi was in a rush and she had her mind set to work only, which I couldn't argue against. She had incredibly busy days ahead of her as well.

*morning flashback*

Demi's alarm went off, which made me groan. Demi immediately popped up, and I frowned.

"Can I get a quick cuddle? Even just a hug?" I asked quietly, watching her go turn on the lights.

"No can do, ma'am. Busy morning." She replied as she started running around the room, gathering things up. She went into her closet to pick out some clothes and made her way into the bathroom.

"Can I at least take a shower with you?"

"No to that too, baby. You know if you get in here with me we will not be able to make it a fast shower."

I just sighed, not liking not getting any attention.

Demi turned on the water and got in, and I guess she was really serious. I went downstairs, making some coffee and wanting to make us breakfast. I wasn't getting picked up till 7am, so I had a bit more time.

I made us breakfast sandwiches, and cut up a bunch of fruit for us. I just set our plates at the table as I heard Demi's feet run down the stairs. She came downstairs in black ripped jeans, a black crop top, and the necklace she got with my initial on it. That made me smile slightly.

"I made you breakfast."

"I don't have time. Max will be here in less than 5 minutes."

I didn't respond, feeling annoyed. I hate how much of a rush she was in, but I guess I can't get too mad at her busy schedule. I sat down, looking down at my plate as I ate by myself.

I felt a warm pair of hands on my shoulders, getting my attention. Demi started to rub my shoulders, and leaned her head down to kiss my neck.

"I'll take the breakfast with me, though." She whispered. She walked around me, now face to face. She brushed the strands of hair out of my face and behind my ears. "God, your hair is always so soft."

I just smiled up at her, the first time I got the chance to really look at her. It's so easy to get lost in those chocolate eyes.

She told me to stand up, which I listened. She cupped my cheeks, caressing my skin with her thumbs.

"Good luck today, sweetheart. I know you'll be bad ass and do an amazing job. I'm sorry for no morning cuddles or no shower, but I promise you'll get a lot more of my attention. I just have a busy few days." She whispered, her forehead leaning against mine. "Max has all of your rides set up. I'll text you whenever I can, and the same for you. Give me updates about your day. I love you so much."

I smiled, capturing her lips in mine. I kissed her hard, not wanting to let go.

"I'm going to miss you today."

"I'm going to miss you more. But remember - we come home to each other now. Every night."

I smiled at her words, feeling good being reminded that I will be coming back to her each night.

"I really have to go. I love you." She leaned in for another kiss, which I gladly accepted.

"I love you, baby."

*end flashback*

I smiled thinking of her stubborn, busy self this morning. It was going on 12, and I hadn't heard from her still.
