Lost In Spain

Chapter 22: You've Got To Be Kidding Me

I wake up in the morning and suddenly the only thing I'd ever lost that mattered was back. With me. In my arms.

This girl lying next to me, with her hands wrapped around my waist has no idea of how much she means to me. No idea of what she does to me with her kisses. No idea of how I've been going crazy to feel her breath on my skin again.

Hell! She has no idea of how madly I am in love with her.

A buzzing sound catches my attention. I look up at my phone screen to see my assistant calling. She's calling me at six in the morning?

I smoothly get out from Alex's grip and walk towards the window to answer the call.

"Hello!", I speak into the receiver.

"Today? I have plans with Alex. Can't it wait?", I respond. Irritated.

"For how long?", I sigh rubbing my temples.

"A week? Are you fucking kidding me? I can't.", I whisper.

"Fine.", I say pinching the bridge of my nose. "I'll see you at four."

I go back to bed and lie down beside Alex.

I wake up and see Trey sleeping beside me. This feeling is indescribable. I've craved for it. God! I don't remember the last time I slept so peacefully.

His presence sure does do wonders to my soul.

I kiss him on his forehead causing his eyes to flutter open. He smiles at me.

"Good morning, baby girl.", he says tightening his grip around my waist.

"Good morning! I didn't want to wake you up but I need to go shopping and dad sure would be really shocked to see you in my bed.", I stick out my tongue at him.

"Shopping?", he yawns.

"I need a new dress for tonight.", I blush.

"Oh! About that..", he fumbles. "I have to leave for Tokyo today."

I immediately sit up on the bed, "Tokyo? What? Why?"

"It's for a new hotel. It's inaugurating on the 17th of March. I totally forgot about it. I need to leave. I'll be back in a week.", he says. Guilt evident in his voice.

"A week?", I try to fight my frown but somehow one settles on my lips.

"I'm sorry, Alex. You know I wouldn't go if it wasn't important but I can cancel if-", I cut him off my placing my hand on his mouth.

"It's okay. Next week is okay.", I smile. Genuinely.

"You sure?", he takes my hand from his mouth and gives it a light squeeze.

I nod.

He hugs me, "I'll be back before you know it."

"I'll miss you.", I whisper.

"I'll miss you too.", he sighs and places his chin on my shoulder. "There's so much I wanna tell you. Something or the other always comes in the way."
