Lucky Little Me (New just my luck book 2)

Chapter 29

When I woke up the next morning Grey was gone. The suitcase that he usually uses for traveling was gone as well so he must have gotten up early to leave for his trip. I felt this really deep pit in the bottom of my stomach, like part of me was gone when he went.

I felt awful, but I wasn't sure what to do. Grey was my life, he was my future, but I had always thought that future was going to be here, in Chicago with Laken and my friends.

Was I making the wrong decision by telling him no. I know he loved me, I was positive of it. I wanted to move on and live my life with him, but we needed to find a middle ground, one where he could still run his empire, but from here.

The only question is what was the middle ground. How was I going to find a way to keep him in my life but to do so here.

It was Friday, I needed to take the day and get my homework and assignments done that way I could have tonight to sulk and figure out a plan, and probably call my therapist.

After eating breakfast and cleaning a little bit I focused my attention onto my assignments, camping out in the living room. I spread everything out and got to work, making sure that I got everything done for the weekend and i could hang out.

Cecilia and Seth were going out on a date tonight so it was just going to be me. I was going to make plans with Delta, but that was before last night happened. I wasn't shocked when she called me, wondering what we were doing tonight.

"I actually change my mind, I think I am going to stay in tonight."

"What? Why? You were so excited last night. Was it what I said?" She asked on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, Grey and I kind of got into a fight and i really don't feel like going out or seeing anyone tonight." I shrugged, taking a sip of my drink that I had made a few moments ago.

"Do you want to talk about it? I was wondering why you hadn't told me about moving away."

"I don't know. The fight was because I wont move away. Does that make me a bad person? I mean we have t omelet halfway, that is how it has been every time right." I needed someone to tell me I was being rational in this.

"I don't know give me the argument." Delta suggested as I nodded, readjusting my legs so they are crisscross.

"My entire life is here, I don't want to leave. But, this is his job, and he is my life and this is his dream. I know I should be supportive..."

"But you don't want to make any major life changes, I get it. You're young, still in college and finishing your degree. You don't know what you want yet, but.....don't stay for us. If you do decide to stay make it for the right reasons, is this your home or is Grey?"

The answer to that question was easy, it was Grey. It was always going to be Grey.

"What do I do then?"

"Find the middle ground. See if he can wait until you have finished your degree, that gives you a year or so more." I nodded, thinking it through for a moment before sighing. I guess I could call him and talk about this when he gets off work, that way by the time he gets home I'm not mad anymore and we have come to some sort of conclusion.

"Okay, i guess you have a point."

"Exactly, now, tonight-"

"I still want to stay in. I'm sorry, I know we were going to do something but can we do it tomorrow, I really just want to be alone and hang out at the flat tonight." I was going to call Cecilia when he date was over so we could gossip about it.

"okay fine, we can go out tomorrow night, get drinks and chat, maybe catch a movie." Delta sounded content with the answer. After talking a bit more about her and Jarak and how things were going with them we hung up and I turned my attention back to my homework.
