I could feel her piercing gaze on the side of my face. And there was nothing more that I wanted but to drop all these assignments and give her my undivided attention. But getting these contracts read and signed was something I had already put off for far too long and it was now or never. But with Elizabeth looking at me like that I felt guilty for not paying her any attention.

She never made me feel bad about it or anything, but I could tell on various occasions that she wants to talk with me but she sees that I'm busy and instead offers to make me some food or if there's anything I need. All I could ever need is her, nothing could satisfy me but having her near me.

"Why are you staring at me like a love sick puppy?" I finally spoke up, shifting my gaze onto her small figure hiding behind the door frame. She jumps, startled at my voice and comes out from her hiding spot. "You okay baby?"

She nods her head, "it's just so unfair." She looks down at the floor with a frown on her beautiful face and I almost drop everything on the table and wrap my arms around her. But I really couldn't leave this desk right now.

"What's unfair baby?" I asked, rolling my left sleeve back up when it undid itself. She follows my movements and huffs.

"That you look so good just sitting there." It's meant to be a whisper that only she hears but due to how quiet it was in the house I caught every word. The pink shade of the blush that overcomes her face is so damn cute and I want to hold her.

I lay the pen down and look at her, "are you bored?" I asked her but I already knew what her answer would be.

"I wanted to be with you but I would just be a distraction to you." She shrugs sadly. I chuckle, reaching my hand out for her to take. She shakes her head and I pout, "you won't be a distraction for me." I assured her.

She huffs, her feet hitting the wooden floors as they make litter patter sounds towards me. I sit her in my lap, concentrating back on the papers at task. She watches me, a smile playing on her lips but yet I could tell she wanted much than to just be besides me. I cup her face and kiss her, "do you want to try something new with me?"

"New?" She asked, skeptical. I grab her hips and turn her around so that she straddles me. I kiss her, roaming my hands up her back to tangle them in her hair. She stops me before I could get any further, "I told you I would just be a distraction for you." She breathes, resting her forehead on mine.

"My greatest distraction." I correct her and she smiles. "I am really stressed out about all this paperwork though, but I want you here with me." I caress her cheek and leave a soft kiss in its wake. She nods her head and buried her face in the crook of my neck.

I smile, keeping one arm wrapped around her waist while with my other I finished signing whatever was left. She squirmed around a bit since she must've felt uncomfortable after some time but with her movements I couldn't help the low grunt that escaped my lips. She looks at me with wide eyes. "Sorry."
