Unfading Connection (complete)

Bitter Reality

After 4 months

Eli's POV

My mind is filled with happiness as I board the plane going back to Brixton City.
I will surprise Anton.
I will arrive there Friday noon. I just hope he will not go home to the mansion to watch movie with Marco. Just in case he will, I will follow him there.......or I will call him to come to his penthouse instead.

I will prepare a good dinner for the two of us. Good thing I can access his penthouse anytime. Privilege of a girlfriend. I smiled at that thought.

I can't wait to tell him the good news.

I am promoted as assistant supervisor and I will be transferred in two-week time in Aylow City. It is nearer Brixton City and I know their company expanded in the City since last year. We can have more time to see each other whenever he comes to the city. He mentioned one time that he has to come once a month or once in two months in Aylow City. He stays for a week or two to check the business. It is a good opportunity then for us to shorten the distance between us.

It has been almost 2 months now since we last saw each other. He came only on the weekend and just stayed for two nights for he has to travel outside the country to attend to important business matters. I really appreciate his effort on trying to work things out between the two of us. He was there helping me find a suitable apartment to rent near my work during my first week in Lawreth City. I am used of doing things on my own but I can't deny how big is his help this time.

He was there to drive around when we looked for apartments. It really saved time. We had more time for each other before he went back to work. The gifts he gave me really helped a lot in my work. I am really thankful of his sweet gestures.

And the feeling of being cared for is really different. I feel that I can lean on him.

I don't worry much for I know he is there for me.

But lately  he rarely text or call me. I know why. He has been very busy.

Maybe he will not have much time for me this weekend but still I want to be with him even for a short period of time. I secretly called Jane, his secretary, to make sure that he doesn't have any business meetings or trip outside the country before I traveled. And I confirmed it that he is staying in the city from his reply to my message a while ago. I tried to be discreet when I asked him to remove any suspicion on his side. I want to surprise him.

The weather is warm when I reach Brixton City. The familiar surroundings somehow made me feel at home. Though I never stayed long in this city, this has been home to me. It is where I met friends like Anne, Anita and Marco. It is where I met Anton. The memories I have in this place are treasures.

I went straight to his penthouse. I am glad the access code is still the same. I will just deposit my things and go straight to the grocery for my preparation. I plan to cook steak. I know it is his favorite. Good thing working in the restaurants taught me how to make delicious meals. If I have time I can bake some cupcakes which he can bring for Marco. He usually comes home on Sundays in the mansion to see Anita and Marco.

**************************

Ooops I fell asleep. It is almost midnight. Where is Anton? Maybe he is here already and he did not wake we up. I am glad the timing is good and I am able to prepare everything before eight. I am able to shower and freshen up also. The table is set. I just have to wait for Anton but it was nine already and he did not yet arrive. I called his office and nobody is answering there anymore. I tried to call his phone but he did not answer. I drifted on the couch waiting for him.
