I take my seat across from Emilian and Eliza is sitting next to me, with Lucian across from her. Mads is sitting on the other side of Eliza with Jonathan across from her and Liam is next to Jonathan with Zara beside him.

"Lara are you ok?" Eliza asks so that only I can hear.

"Not really but it's fine," I try to reassure her but she just takes my hands and holds them.

"You can't fool me," she smiles. "You look amazing in this dress though."

"Thank you, sis, you look good too."

She sticks her tongue out and begins to dance in her seat, "Only the best for my man."

"Shut up," I giggle.

Emilian is chatting with Lucian and their conversation looks very serious. They are visibly trying not to make eye contact with Liam, who's whispering into Zara's ear. She's smiling but not saying anything back.

Liza is speaking to Mads and Jonathan whiles I'm just looking through the menu.

"I'm going to call someone to take your orders and we'll be in my office," Emilian says, standing up and signaling me to follow him.

I follow him to pass the kitchen where he stops to ask, "Can I get a waitress in the secluded area?"

"Yes sir, I'm on it," one of the guys says and immediately leaves the kitchen.

We then arrive in front of a room that has a fingerprint scanner to unlock it.

"Ooo, I like that. We should have those at the office."

"Anything you want baby. You can add your fingerprint and maybe I'll have you check up on my locations instead."

"Really?" I get excited.

"Nope, that's too much for you."

"How do you know what's too much for me?" I cross my arms.

"Love, you work too hard and I'm not putting any more workload on you."

"In other words, I'm great at my job," I smirk at him.

"Yes, baby. Too good," he smiles and pulls me closer. "Have I ever told you that you look sexy when you're working?"

I blush, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know. Maybe how you're always so attentive and the way you bite your bottom lip when you're thinking."

"Seb, do you always watch me?"

"How can I not? Every time you're in a room, you're the only thing on my mind. Sometimes I get distracted or nervous because I know you're near."

"Baby," I pout. "I wish I could put my feelings into words as much as you do."

"Love, I can see it all in your eyes and your actions. I don't need words. The fact that you're even here with me is enough." He's so perfect.

"Stop Seb, because you're going to make me cry," I say covering my face.

He chuckles, "That was not my intention."

"Then what was?"

He smiles and places wet kisses all over my face which causes me to giggle.

"I wanted to see that beautiful smile."

I pull his lips down to mine and kiss him softly. "I love you."

"I love you too my baby," he replies and I immediately laugh.

"Seb oh my gosh! My make-up!"

His eyes widen, "What? Is it on me?"

"Yes," I nod and laugh.

He smiles, watching me laugh, and asks, "Are you done yet?"

"I'm sorry but I told you about being careful when I wear makeup. Now, look Seb," I shake my head. "Is there a bathroom in here?"

"Yeah, just over there."

I take his hand and pull him to follow me but he places his hand on my waist instead.

"You look gorgeous."

"Thank you handsome," I tell him.

I take a cotton pad from a cupboard full of first aid items. "Why do you have all of these things here?"

"For kitchen emergencies."

"Mhm, ok. Kiss me."

He smiles and pecks my lips twice.

I wet the cotton pad with water and a bit of soap and I remove the makeup patches from his face.

"Better."

"Are you hungry?"

"Yes, very."

"What do you want, I'll make it for you."

I smile, "Seb, I'll just go order something."

"No, I want to make you dinner. You always cook for me."

I feel like crying. Why am I so emotional. It's embarrassing.

"Seb you are way too good for me." I feel like I'm not doing enough.

"Love, it's the other way around. I feel like I have to keep up with you."

"Shut up," I wipe the teardrops from my face.

He pulls me in and comforts me, "I love you and you're already too perfect for a man like me. Trust me, baby," he kisses my forehead.

I wipe my face and ask, "What do want for your birthday?"

"You and maybe a call from my baby sister."

"You don't want to be with your family?"

"Baby, you are my family and if you're meaning the guys, I'm always with them."

"What about your family in Romania?"

"They'll call and tell me happy birthday. Plus we're going to see them soon."

"Ok...do you want any gifts?"

"I don't need any, love, and please do not buy me anything with your money."

"Baby it wouldn't be a gift if I use yours and you'd see what I buy if I use your card."

"Correction, our card. And once again I don't need anything but you."

"Fine." I'm totally buying him gifts.

"Let's go to my kitchen now."

"There's two kitchens?"

"Yup."

"This place is unbelievable."

He flicks the light switch and the beauty of the kitchen is revealed.

"So, what do you want to eat baby?"
