FIXATION

Chapter 24

Ross POV

I had no idea how to tell her the truth. That I wasn't going to be there.
That I was going to be in Los Angeles.

"What's wrong?" She asked. She knew something was wrong. But how to tell her?

"Nothing I just...Eden, I'm sorry but I'm not going to be at your restaurant opening".

"what?" She said. Surprised. Alarmed. Upset.

"I have a very important meeting in Los Angeles."

"Los Angeles? As in the United States?"

"Yes"

She stayed silent.
"I'm so sorry this was so last minute. Please don't be mad. My business is expanding and it requires that I travel internationally".

"then let's not go anywhere tonight. We have to pack your suitcase and get your plane ticket and take you to the airport and..."

"And make love," I told her. She smiled.

"I promised to take you out to dinner. I want to spend time alone with you"

"We can spend time alone inside. In our room. I'll have Carol prepare us a delicious meal and we can eat it in your room...or I can prepare something for us, "

"No. I want you all for me. Have Carol make something. Tonight I want you to be all mine."

"Okay, " she said. We got out of my car and went upstairs to our room. Eden went to tell Carol to make us dinner.
While I waited for her to return I wanted to make this night extra special for her. I wasn't going to see her for about a week. Ever since I met her seven years ago this was the first time we were going to be apart. I didn't like the feeling.

"Done," she said. "I asked Carol to make us cheeseburgers with chips since you are going to America might as well eat like them too at least for tonight.

"I'm going to miss you so much," she said sitting on my lap.

"Are you kidding me? You are all I think about" I said.

We both went for each others lips in unison.

I placed her on her back slowly and took off my shirt. I kissed her softly.

"Ross...I'm really going to miss you is like I don't know who I am without you"
She said kissing me slowly. Her kisses felt warm and passionate on my shoulders, neck and lips. Soft traces.

"I'll be back love, and I won't ever leave you again. I'm sorry is so last minute but enough talking"

I took off my pants and briefs slowly. I took off her clothes as well. I stayed on top of her just looking at her. Two naked bodies admiring each other as if it was the first time we had made love. But tonight was different. I wasn't going to see her for a week so I wanted to memorize her face her body like this. Here and now. I kissed her and she rose up to kiss me.

I went inside her. Deep but slow. I wanted to make this moment last. One thrust at a time was a memory of how much I love her. Deep. She started moving with me following my movement.

"I love you, " she said.

I couldn't help myself.

"I love you, " I said it back and we kissed.

I didn't let Eden take me to the airport it was going to be too painful to say goodbye to her but more painful was the lies I had told her about why I was really going there.
