Texas Lows and Monaco Highs

18 - Missing Half

Eztli had flown out to Monaco to view Lewis's apartment and she was mesmerized by how luxurious it was. She knew luxury to an extent as her friend had taken her to parties with some of the richer students at the private college they attended, but this was something completely different.

Lewis: so what do you think?
Eztli: i love it!!

Lewis POV:

Seeing Eztli like this is comforting after living alone for so many years, I found myself excited and nervous. How she made me nervous was beyond me. I felt like a schoolboy anxiously waiting to be noticed by the popular girl. She was beautiful, her characteristics were stronger, sharper almost intimidating. He studied her face as she went around the apartment touching, moving every thing in sight. He was scared she'd think the place was too manly or boring but she didn't say anything instead she complimented even the rugs.

Eztli: Lewis you need to change your curtains I fear it's dark and they feel very heavy to let the sun in properly

Lewis laughed taken aback as he thought she loved everything. He asked why.

Eztli: íts somber, almost depressing. Don't get me wrong i love the place but the light has to come in

She grabbed my hands and pulled me towards the curtains and made me open them. I don't know why I never open them... I guess when you're in the public eye it's hard to get any alone private time.

Eztli: you definitely need a woman's touch here she winked at him

Lewis: desperately in need of a certain womans touch

Eztli: yeah Marie Kondo

Lewis: what no i was talking about you babe

Eztli laughed and grabbed my hand as she led me to the couch.

Eztli: I'm excited to move here and I've already started packing a few things, specifically my books so promise me when they come in I can put them on that shelf that has small random sculptures. I know it's art but my love this place is gorgeous but not lived in

Lewis: well im not here most of the time

Eztli: i know but soon i will

Lewis: babe change everything i don't care as long as that means you'll be with me is enough

Eztli: so does that mean I can put your trophies in the bathroom? So people can use them as props when they take mirror selfies?

Lewis: you ma'am are ridiculous

Eztli's POV:

I need to find out what the fuck I'll be doing here when I'm not traveling with him. Maybe law school?

She laughed at the thought.

I can start probably by figuring out how tf I'll move all my items here. Oh fuck it'll cost me an arm and a leg. I wonder if Lewis has a housekeeper... I should send him a quick message he might not be in his meeting yet. Also where tf is Matthew haven't hear from the asshole in forever. Maybe i should call him first... or Marco. No not Marco.

She felt ashamed for even thinking about him.

Hey y'all I'm back 🥹 it's been a sucky month I miss my grandmother a lot but at least she'll be with my grandfather now and she's no longer suffering being bedridden. It's the only thing that brings me comfort. I still feel as if she's not even gone and that she's just a few minutes away from my house... my dad's definitely doing better now. He was a mess. Guilt is the one thing that is hitting hard. I could have visited more often, but honestly there's no such thing as enough time. It's just hard wanting to celebrate anything knowing my grandma will not be here to celebrate with us. But anyways I will now go back to updating as I feel like writing is peaceful.

Also, being in a constant state of delusion always helps. :)
