After a week of relaxation, it's finally time for Seb and me to resume our work schedule and my sister starts her new job tomorrow.

We just settled on the jet that's taking us back home. Liza is sitting in a different section of the plane, on the phone with Lucian.

"Baby you have a 2-hour call in 30 minutes. And no you cannot postpone it because I pushed it back for as long as I can. If you want me to take notes, I will but you are joining that call."

He stares into my eyes and then smiles, "Yes ma'am. You're starting to sound like my boss and I don't like that."

"Well, get it together Mr. Moldovan."

"I will. I love you," he kisses me.

"I love you too baby," I tell him smiling. "Now get ready for your call, I have work to do too."

"Will you stay next to me love?" He pleads, rubbing my thigh.

I look down at his hand on me and sigh, "Ok but if I think I'm distracting you, I will leave. Now stop talking and start working."

Thirty minutes into the meeting, he's been extremely touchy and clingy. I grab his hand and glare at him but he just keeps his eyes on the laptop and moves my hand out of his way.

"Yes, I love that idea. Could you elaborate on that a bit more," he says turning to kiss me and of course, I accept it. His tongue drags over my lips, about to enter my mouth before a male voice from his call speaks up, "Um, Mr. Moldovan, your mic is unmuted."

Seb pulls away sighing, "Thank you for letting me know. Please continue." He then mutes his mic and the voice continues to speak.

I stand up to move to another seat and he quickly speaks up, "Baby, come back please," he gives me puppy eyes and pouts his lips.

I smile kissing him and tell him, "You're cute but, no." I grab my laptop, phone, and notebook to sit with Liza.

"Heyyyy. Are you ready to start your new job? You're going to spend so much time with little adorable kids. I'm jealous."

She giggles, "Yes, I'm excited but, you seem more excited than me."

"I don't know. I've had baby fever for a while now. I want a child but, I don't want to rush things between Emilian and me."

"Tell him, Lara. He might not be ready but I know you guys are all about communicating. It might help because maybe he wants a kid too."

"Oh, I know he wants kids but, we both want to get married and have our permanent home before we try. Plus, I'm celibate."

"Don't you want to adopt? That could be your solution until you're married. You already have a home with multiple rooms, two cars, and you both have a great income. That's more than enough to start a family.

If you are feeling it then, just do it. Don't think about it too much or you're going to regret not taking that leap of faith. But, of course, consult your man and see what he says."

I grin at her, "When did my little sister become so wise? This is embarrassing for me but thanks. I'm going to check on him to make sure he's working."

I go to where he is to see his laptop closed and him typing on his phone. "Baby is your call finished already."

"No, but I was bored and I didn't like any of the ideas or proposals. Plus, that call prevented me from being close to you. Come here," he taps his lap.

"I want a bit of space right now," I tell him with a small smile.

"That's fine. Did you want to talk? You look like you want to have a chat about something specific so, lay it on me."

"I want a kid."

He chuckles, "Baby I know, we said we both wanted children remember?"

"No Seb, I mean now. Maybe we could adopt one first."

"But I thought we were going to get married, have a kid, then adopt."

"Yeah, well, I kinda want a baby now."

"Love, I completely understand but, I think it's best if we wait until later on in our relationship because we'll have a better chance of becoming foster parents to eventually adopt.

The reality is we've only been together for a short period and that's not going to help us in the long process of adoption. So, baby, I hear you but, I think we should wait until we're married. I promise that won't be a long wait."

"Ok I see where you're coming from and I agree. And stop hinting marriage and proposal, I want to be surprised," I flip my hair.

"Do you have any specific ways you want to be surprised baby?"

"Preferably not in public," I reply.

"I agree but, what is your reason?" he asks me.

I think about it for a second, "Proposals are meant to be personal, intimate, and romantic. I think doing it in public completely ruins that effect. I will let you know though that if you propose to me in public, I am not kissing or hugging you. Maybe I'll smile but, I can't do much affection in public because all of the attention makes it much more awkward."

He laughs, "Noted. My baby wants to be loved in private."

"Not necessarily in private but just not in the scene where everyone is staring at us. You know?"

"Mhm," he stands up. "I'm going to take a nap. Are you coming?"

"Ye-Ahhh!" he lifts me unexpectedly. "Baby you could have told me you were going to lift me. Stop trying to scare me all the time."

"I'm too tired to do that right now," he slaps and grabs my butt as we walk to the bedroom in the back of the plane.

"Now I know what mood you get in when you're tired. Definitely not grumpy."

He chuckles and sucks on my neck. "Baby, behave," I whisper.

"No," he tells me squeezing my butt once again. I roll my eyes. Oh my gosh.

He opens the door placing me on the bed and asks, "Love, do you want to sleep with your sweatpants on?"

"Um, no, I don't want to sweat." He brings me to the edge of the bed and pulls down my pants revealing my shorts.

"Thank you, baby," I tell him tiredly. Suddenly I'm sleepy too.

"No problem." I lay down on my side pulling the blankets over myself and moments after, he climbs in behind me.

"I love you."

"I love you too," he kisses my temple and we both drift off into a deep slumber.

I'm rudely awakened by a phone ringing but, it isn't my ringtone. I open my eyes to look for his phone and it's on the table beside him.

"Baby," I shake him, no response. "Emilian wake-up, your phone is ringing." Still no response. I turn around in his embrace and place my lips on his. He groans in response and immediately kisses me back.

I lean back glaring at him, "Really Seb?" His phone stops ringing.

He smirks smacking my butt, "Lips." I bring his lips to me by his jaw and I gently bite his lower lip, pulling it back to tease him.

His eyelids lower and he tells me sternly, "Stop Elara."

I smile innocently and peck his lips twice, "Ok. Your phone was ringing."

He sighs reaching for his phone, "It's probably Lucian." When he unlocks his phone he rolls his eyes. I'm guessing it was indeed Lucian.

"Call him back Seb, maybe he needs something."

"I know what he wants and I don't have time for him."

"Baby," I straight face him.

"Fine," he huffs. The phone rings for a bit until Seb speaks, "What do you want."

I don't know what Luci is saying but it's irritating Emilian. "Luci, I am finally relaxing with my girlfriend and you want me there again? Hell no," he shouts on the phone.

I place my hand under his shirt to massage him, hoping he'll calm down. He glances down at me and looks away frustratingly.

"Luci I'll have to talk to Elara first... Alright bye," he hangs up.

I caress his face and beard asking, "What's up."

"He wants me to go back with him."

I look down sadly, "When?"

"Tomorrow."

I take his hands in mine, fiddling with his rings, "Well, um, are you going?"

"I can't leave my baby alone again."

"But Seb I don't want to keep you away from your work or whatever you guys have going on."

"Love, absolutely nothing is more important to me than you. So no, I'm staying," he hugs me tightly, kissing my temple.

I kiss him and say, "Good."

"Now let's go back to sleep," he says closing his eyes.

"Aren't you going to tell Lucian?"

He taps my butt, "Shhh, I'll do that later."

"Ok," I giggle.
