It's been two days since I landed in San Francisco. All the time I've been here I spent it with the most special two girls. I'm sad to leave, but knowing that I'll return in two weeks makes it worth it. I plan on getting a lot of things done before I come back here. I wanted to perhaps stay in the US for the mean time. Marcus and Alex are returning for New Years. I talked with them as well.

I got up fairly early so I headed to the gym downstairs. They told me there was a pool as well. I need to get in a work out because today will be spent in eating mostly. I know I am not getting fat, but just to be sure, I need to stay in motion. At least for the little time I have.

I finish my workout and check in to see if Scar and Rose woke up. Turn out they are still asleep. I head to my room and take a quick shower to wash away all the sweat. I finish drying my hair and put on some clothes when I get a knock on my door.

"Morning" Scarlett says with Rose to her side.

"Hey, good morning. Are you two hungry?" I ask

"Yes!" Rose chants and we laugh at that.

"Okay little one, let me just get my phone and key card and head downstairs." I say and go back inside. They didn't want to come in since I only took a minute to take everything. I put on my watch and we walk to the elevator.

"What should I call you?" Rose says all of a sudden.

"What?" I ask confused.

"I don't know what you are. Are you ny friend? Auntie? Mommy always told me I shouldn't call big people by their names." She says as we step into the elevator.

I crouch in front of her.

"You can call me Lena." I say to her.

"Really? Does that mean you're my friend?" She asks excited.

"Yes." I say smiling at her.

She jumps up and down and quickly wraps her small hands around my neck. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist too. I cross my arms and put them below her bum so she's nice and secure.

"Mommy I made a new friend." She says to Scar who looks like she could cry.

"I can see, well done honey." She says looking at me.

"Is daddy coming today?" Rose asks

"Yes, in about an hour." Scar says looking down at her watch.

"Wait Romain is coming?" I ask.

"It's his time to have her." She says with a forced smile.

I can see how hard this is on her.

Soon enough we sit down at a table and get ourselves something to eat.

"When did you get up?" Scarlett asks

"About three hours ago. I went to work out." I say as I cut a piece of sausage.

"So early?" she asks

"Woke up earlier than expected so I decided to make the most of it." I say

"I still can't believe you have time to stay in shape and work."

"What us your job Lena?" Rose asks with her mouth full.

"Hey what did I tell you about talking with our mouth full. Thats very rude honey." Scarlett scolds like the mom she is.

"It's fine, I own a company in England."

"Are you like super rich?" Rose asks and Scarlett throws daggers her way.

"Rose you can't just ask someone that."

"Fine, I'm sorry." She says as she continues to eat.

"What has gotten into you sweetheart? You never ask these kinds of questions to any of my other friends." Scarlett says softly.

"She's my friend too." Rose says with her lip quivering.

"Come here." I say and wipe my hands.

I move my chair back and she climbs onto my lap.

"Rose honey we'll have to go soon. To get you packed." Scarlett says to her.

"I don't want to go with daddy. I want to stay here with you two." She says and wraps her hands around me now.

"I know darling. I want you to stay with us as well, but you daddy misses you. He wants to take you somewhere, to have fun." I say softly.

"Can't you two come too?" She asks

"No honey, I'm afraid I'll have to catch a flight tonight."

"Wait you're leaving?" She asks with tears in her eyes.

"Just for a little bit. I'll be back before you know it." I say pinching her cheek.

"Let's finish eating so we can get you ready." Scar says and the two of us nod.

"Can I stay here?" Rose asks while sitting down on my lap.

"Of course you can." I say and put her plate next to mine.

Scarlett looks at the two of us with so much love in her eyes it makes me want to melt inside.

After we finished eating we headed back to their room. It was a hassle to get little Rose packed but then we got a knock on the door. It was Romain. Scarlett went to answer the door while I stayed seated on the bed.

"Hey, is the little one ready?" He asks.

"Yes she's putting on her shoes." She says and he comes in.

"Oh hello, you must be Romain." I say and he approaches me.

"Correct and you are?" He asks

"Lena" I say and he shakes my hand.

"Oh I heard about you. It's good to finally meet you."

"Likewise." I smile back.

We hear someone clear their throat. We turn to the door to see Scarlett and Rose standing there with her luggage.

"Rose is ready is to go." Scarlett says.

"Let's go bud!" He says and Rose hugs Scarlett and me before the two of them disappear into the hallway.

"God I hate this agreement." Scarlett says as she sits down on the bed.

"I know darling, I know." I say and sit down next to her.

"How about you and I get dressed and visit the art gallery?" I ask

"Are you asking me out on a date?" She asks

"Maybe I am." I smile at her.

"Come here." And just like that our lips touch for what seems to be the first time since yesterday. I grab her waist while she tangles her hands behind my neck.

She deepens the kiss and ends up on top of me. Straddling me while I keep my hands on her hips now.

"How about you and I go and change first?" I ask her.

She starts kissing my neck.

"How about we first do some cardio, you know, to burn the calories we just ate." She says between kisses.

"Well I can't say no to that." I say and kiss her lips again. I grab the end of her shirt and take it off her. Her skin glowing in the sunlight. I grab her by her thighs and throw her on her bed. She giggles and I toss my shirt across the room.

I start kissing her neck and go down bit by bit. She squirms and her breathing speeds up. I start taking of her bra slowly.

"Is this okay?" I ask her

"Yes, just hurry up will you?" She says frustrated.

"Someone is eager." I say and take off the bra completely.

"Beautiful, just like always." I mutter and start kissing her wonderful skin again. Only this time I am dangerously close to her nipples. I kiss all over her stomach and grab one of her breasts into my hand. She moans at the sheer contact and arches her back for me. I grab the waistband of her leggings and peel them off her legs. Oh the things they do to me. Those silky smooth legs.

She opens them for me and grabs my wait with them. Inching me closer to her.

I look up to see her pupils are completely dilated. Her eyes turned black almost. I open her legs further and move her up so her head is on the pillow and her center is right in front of me.

"I need you Lena." She whimpers as she grabs one of her nipples between her two fingers. Holy fuck.

I take off her panties and get lost in her. In her beauty, she, she is the most incredible being I was lucky to have the opportunity to know.

I kiss her thighs teasing her at first, but then even I grew impatient so I did what she so wanted. I started slow. Moving my tounge in a pattern, making her crazy from it. Then I fastened my pace and rhythm. And finally i inserted one finger into her. She moaned out my name in a way I never knew she could.

She tangled her fingers into my hair, grabbing hard and pulling me towards her even more. Pushing my face into her center. Praying me to continue what I was doing.

And I did just that, only I added another finger. Her nails slid from my hair to my back. Scratching me and gripping my shoulder for support. I went down while still inside her and kissed her. She moaned my name into my mouth when I inserted the third finger. I wanted to see her cum, up close.

"I'm... I'm close Lena." She pants

"Oh...oh my God, your fingers do wonders to me." she moans out and just like that. I curl my fingers, she screams out my name and starts to cum. I feel my fingers get soaked and she relaxed on the bed, panting.

I take out my fingers and lick them clean. She looks at me with lust in her eyes. Her cheeks are flushed, her hair is a mess and her chest is going up and down in rapid breaths.

This is something I want to forever see.

"Wow, you're a goddess baby. How am I this lucky?" I say as I kiss her lips tenderly.

"I'm the lucky one. That was the best orgasm of my life. So quick and yet so intense." She says.

"Wait until we have the night to ourselves Scar." I say and kiss her forehead.

"Let's get you cleaned up." I say and she nods.

I get up and offer her my hand. She can barely walk? Damn.

"Here." I say and sweep her up and carry her bridal style into the bathroom.

"Bath or shower?" I ask

"Bath please." She say and I nod. I put her into the bathtub and turn on the water so it could fill up.

"Bath bomb or bubbles?"

"Both?" She asks

"Anything for you." I say and get her everything. I put on my sports bra and I stay in my joggers while I get her the bubbles she wants.

I pull up a stool and sit beside her.

"Do you want me to leave you here alone or would you rather sit in there and talk?" I ask her.

"The second one of course." She says and beams.

"How was your time here?" She asks

"It was great. I really had such a lovely time with you two. I loved spending time with Rose. She's such an adorable little muffin." I say

"Really?" She asks stunned.

"Yes, she's curious and smart, just like her mum. She is also hilarious at times." I say

"Well thank you. I had a blast with you two. It really made this all worth it." She says

"I'm glad you did." I say and kiss her forehead.

"How's Richard?" She asks

"He's thrilled that I'm here with you. He thinks I am finally moving on from what happened."

"Are you though? Moving on."

"I don't think so. I don't think I will ever move on, rather learn to live with it. Miriam was an important person in my life. She can never be forgotten." I say

"I know but some day you will have to move on." She says

"Until then I'll be just the way I am." I say and smile.

She finishes her bath and I help her get dried. I can't stop looking at her gorgeous body. She gets dressed and we head to my room.

I get dressed into something warm. It's windy outside and I would hate to get sick.

The two of us walk hand in hand through a park. She seems to love having me close to her. We arrive to the art gallery and I go ahead and buy us tickets to get it. She protested but I had to. I will spend all of my money on her if that is what will make her happy.

"This place is beautiful." She says and grips my hand again. Not complaining, not one bit.

The two of us spent an hour inside and after a while we decided to call it a day and go to the café for something warm to drink.

"Thank you for all of this." She says as I sip on my tea.

"You're welcome darling. I'm sad we couldn't do more." I say

"You're kidding, this turned out to be one of the best dates I've ever been on. So relaxing and fun." She says

"I'm glad you think so then. Would you mind if we stopped by to check out a book shop close by?" I ask her.

"Sure, whatever you want." she says

The two of us chose the best place in the entire café. A booth in the corner. It has dimmed lights and it is almost empty.

"Can I sit next to you?" She asks and I nod.

"You don't have to ask. Not anymore at least." I chuckle and put my arm around her shoulder. She snuggles her head into my neck.

"I.. I thought you still had some of your boundaries."

"The day I saw you behind me in front of that chapel I knew there were no boundaries when it comes to you. Not anymore." I say

"Can I tell you something?" She asks

"Of course you can" I say.

"I love you" She says

And like so the whole world stopped in a second. Just with those eight letters my heart sped up and I let out a long awaited breath.

"I.. I love you." I say it back and kiss her lovingly. She melts into the kiss and when we separate her forehead is met with mine.

"I was so scared to say it." She says looking down.

"Why?" I ask

"Because I thought I was going too fast. But then you made me feel like a milion bucks. I mean the date, your atmosphere and company, just brings me inner peace. I was scared to possibly lose that."

"Come here." I say opening my arms. She happily falls into me.

"I've loved you for so long I forgot when it even started." I say into her ear and kiss her head.

In that moment the two of us were the only people alive. Who would have thought, out of all places this one is where I would finally say what I wanted to for so long.

I never want to leave this feeling. Her smell is enchanting my soul and just to have her in my arms is enough. I want to keep her safe and I want to truly, deeply, love her to the fullest. I want her to feel special and loved.

She's my whole entire universe.
