Chapter 14

We leave Cancun today. It has been an amazing 5 days here. My father and I have spent the entire time together.

It's been very strange to see him not in work mode.

I've enjoyed spending time with him but I'm also ready to go home and get my own space back.

It's 10 Am and father is still sleeping. He has slept a lot this trip. I'm glad he's been able to catch up on his sleep while we are here.

I made myself some coffee and laid on the couch. One of the best things about this week is I've talked to Emelia every day. Nothing as intimate as the first night....... But it's been nice being on good terms with her.

~good morning!~ I sent the text to her and sipped on my coffee till I received a reply.

~good morning! How was the bonfire last night?~

~it was actually really cool and relaxing. My Father fell asleep in his chair.~

~I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself. Are you ready to fly home today?~

~I cant wait sleep in my own bed.~

~I bet. :) I'm excited to see you today.~ I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

~understandable, I am pretty fun to look at.~ I joked.

~shut up and go pack Clara.~

I laughed and put my phone down.

She was excited to see me. Those words were enough to send my heart racing.

I drank the rest of my coffee thinking about Emelia when I received another text.

~hey.~ it was Eric.

~hi~

~how have you been? I've missed talking to you.~ to be honest I've missed talking to him too. I'm used to messaging him every day.

~actually I've been in Cancun with my father.~

~damn! I've never been to Cancun.~

~it's pretty amazing~

~so listen. I bought some first class tickets to come visit you a month ago for the 4th of July............ I was going to surprise you. But now that we aren't together anymore I wasn't sure what to do with them. Would you be okay if I come and visit you as friends? I do miss you.~

I stared at the message for a minute. He really was the best boyfriend. I'm happy that he still feels comfortable enough around me to want to see me.

~of course! I'll always be your friend Eric. I just wanted to give you space.~

~I don't need space. I'll be there Friday.~

~sounds good. I'll come pick you up. You can stay in a guest room!~

~are you sure?~

~yes! Its fine.~

~thanks Clara. Im excited to see you.~

I stared at the words. Emelia had sent the same message and it sent my body into a frenzy. Eric's had little to no effect on me.

It just reassured me that I've done the right thing.

Fuck. I just realized I invited my ex to stay with me in the house I share with the the person I want to
Be with......

Shit.

I finished my packing and my father and I left the resort at 1 to drive the Jeep back to the airport.

Our jet was waiting for us as usual. I climbed into it and sat in my seat in the back. My father took his favorite seat across from me and pulled out his laptop. Guess he's back in work mode.
