I know when we talked about it at the time it was in somewhat of a joking manner but I can't stop picturing it. My man and I working together creating even more bomb content for the ladies, corporate wouldn't know what to do with themselves.

"Bonnie?" I look up from my desk seeing James at the threshold and he nods me over.

I stand and straighten out my dress before following him into his office. I wonder what this could be about. He tells me to close the door which I do then take a seat in front of him. He folds his arms. Oh boy.

"I mentioned at the dinner that I had a meeting with Hunter,"

"Oh yeah how did it go?"

"Perfect, actually, amazing. He wants to move us to LA."

"That's— wait, what do you mean 'us'?"

"You and me. He wants us working with the big dogs."

"Uh,"

"I know and I don't want to put any pressure but this only works if we're both in. I know you have a lot of ties to this city so I'll understand if you want to stay but this can be- and quite frankly is an amazing opportunity."

"Fuck, I don't even- wow. He really wants the both of us?"

"Yeah. It was only going to be me at first which was why you weren't invited to the whole meeting but we kept talking and eventually he sparked an idea."

"Be honest with me, do you want to pack up to LA?"

"I do. I've always wanted to live there anyway, the weather is always nice. I don't care how stuck up the people can be, I'll stay in my own little world."

I force a smile. "How long do I have to think about it?"

"Two weeks. By luck, we'll be all set to go in July."

I nod then shortly excuse myself. If circumstances were different I would've said yes a million times and told Stefan he could either come or stay but we're having a baby and getting married and I can't be selfish with this. I would love to go but I'm scared that I'm going to hate it. I won't be able to see my Ann and I'm going to be lost all the time. It took me forever to know my way around here, I can't do it again. Well maybe not can't but it'll just be really hard.

Since I want to apologize to the office, I go pick up my order at Two Little Red Hens. The best cupcakes I've tried thus far. I don't know what I'm going to say or if I should say anything at all and start passing them out. Maybe I'll just start passing them out and say a quick apology to the person individually. The elevator dings and I frown seeing my man.

"What's all this?"

"Apology cupcakes. I need to talk to you."

"I have to step out, but if you want you can wait in my office or I'll meet you at your work. Text me to let me know, I'll let you know when I'm on my way."

"Okay, babe,"

He kisses me then walks away. I press the button again and step in taking a deep breath. This will be my first time seeing her but I'll do everything I can to avoid her. As the doors open I walk out and go straight to the left saying an apology to the section then open my boxes and have them choose one. I make my way around the whole place and make sure to leave one on Stefan's desk because I think I'll stay for now. I announce that more cupcakes are in the break room so they can have at it. I close Stefan's door and the blinds exhaling. I go back to his computer to see it locked. Not surprised but I type in my name hopeful to crack the code and when it's unsuccessful I frown. It's probably too easy. I think. What. Can. It. Be… AHA! "E-L-A-Y-E" ding ding ding, mama's in. I wonder what it was before. Doesn't matter.

I'm a little surprised to see him actually searching for jobs. Maybe he had an interview and that's where he was heading off to. I go to his email but don't see any evidence of an interview but I do see another chain between Amber and him.

I'm sorry

What do you want me to say? I can never talk to you again. I thought we were building a friendship and then you kiss me. Why?

I don't know. Things have been rough and I thought that kissing you would help but I ended up fucking more things over. Will Bonnie ever forgive me?

Not likely. I've never seen her so angry.

Oh…

I sigh but I don't feel bad. It's her own fault. Things happen to people but they don't go about kissing your friend's fiancé. Well not most of them anyway.

"Hey,"

"Hey, are you still at my place?"

"Yeah,"

"Okay, I'll see you soon. I love you."

"I love you too."

I hang up then put things back the way they were. I stand up to retrieve his mattress and lay it on the floor. My back hurts from that chair. As I feel myself slipping away, Stefan walks in and closes the door behind him. "Everything okay?" I watch him take off his shoes then join me.

"Everything's fine, my back was hurting some." I turn to my side.

He watches me making sure I'm not lying or belittling the situation. "Okay. What did you want to tell me?"

"You remember when James told you he had a meeting with the CEO?" He nodded. "Well, he got promoted to move to LA and—"

"Wait so I can actually work with you? You get promoted to his spot and I can step in or were you gonna suggest me to take his spot?"

"None of the above,"

"What? I don't-"

"I got promoted with him. To LA. The deal is if one doesn't go the other can't go, it's a package deal. It was just him at first but then Hunter suggested me and it's a big mess, Stefan. The timing is-"

"Perfect."

"What?"

"Go, I want us to go,"

"Really?"

"Yes, don't you want to go? This was what we were talking about. Not move to a Mystic Falls because of our jobs but now and I can search for jobs down there and hopefully land a few interviews before it's time."

"Stefan what about our baby?"

"He'll be fine, babe. We can still fly or just you and me road trip there."

"But I'll need help,"

"I'll buy our moms tickets and when our boy comes they can stay for however long you would want them to."

It looks like he has everything figured out. I don't know why but I was expecting him to worry just as much as me and be conflicted on if we should go or not. The man whose eyes I'm looking into now is ready to ditch this place and isn't the least bit scared of what's to come. I have to think about it more, the good news is I have two weeks.

"Why don't you want to go?"

"I don't know, I like it here," he smiles at me causing me to smile back.

"How about for our honeymoon we take a trip over there and see how we like it."

"I would love to but we can't. I have two weeks to decide."

"A virtual tour,"

I laugh. "You're so dumb."

He chuckles. "Well, what does James want?"

"He wants to go. I hate that I'm looped into this because I'd feel like an ass if I stop him."

"Maybe if you decide you don't want to go, you can schedule a meeting with Hunter and try to break yourself from this so-called contract."

"Yeah, that's a good idea,"

"Don't doubt me, babe,"

I roll my eyes but kiss him. We break away hearing a knock and he quickly gets up. I get up as fast as I can, lifting the mattress and put it away in time for Stefan to open the door to welcome in Frank. I want to roll my eyes but I smile instead. He takes note of our shoeless feet but says nothing.

"I'll see you at home, babe," I kiss him then put my shoes on.

I walk out seeing Amber there but I take a deep breath and walk to the elevator pulling out my phone. As I wait I can feel her eyes on me but I'm just focusing on scrolling through my Instagram feed. The doors open and I walk through putting my phone away as they close.

...

Vermon and I start on dinner since Stefan is running a little late. Surprisingly I'm not all that hungry since I had a late lunch but I'm sure once it's time to eat I'll have some room. Since I'm feeling a little fat, I toss on one of Stefan's oversized shirts to cover my top half. The sucky part about Stefan is that he's skinny so he wears mediums and the only thing that ends up being big on me is the armholes. The length barely covers my ass. I know he'll like it so I don't really mind.

I'm frying chicken tonight and heating up some mashed potatoes and possibly whipping up a salad. I hear the door close after I'm finished seasoning the chicken and manage to drop some in the deep fryer before I feel his eyes on me. Trailing down my back, stopping at my barely covered ass.

"My two favorite pussies in one room."

I snort. "You're dumb," I turn to him after putting the top on the fryer. "My kitty better be number one."

"She is, don't get jealous." He walks up to me and kisses me before wrapping his hands around my arms. "How's that mind of yours?"

"Still thinkin."

"I straight up told Frank about it so he's prepared if or when I put in my two weeks."

"How did he react?"

"Surprised. I have a feeling he thought I was lying but you actually being there I think helped."

"So is he looking for replacements now?"

"I mean I'm sure he is but I won't get replaced if we don't go. My job is secure, don't worry." He kisses me. "The only thing that needs to be on your mind right now is how amazing our wedding will be."

I close my eyes to picture it. My wedding- our wedding so perfect and beautiful. I open my eyes to see him smiling at me.

"I knew that would calm you."

"Our wedding," I frown. "I'm so excited."

"Me too." He kisses me and I feel his hands slipping down my back. "Mmf," he squeezes kissing me deeper causing me to move my hands into his hair. One hand moves away from my body and I hear the sound of a plug being pulled from the socket. He pulls my hips making me step forward as he backward still in our kiss. "Step," he told me against my lips then kissed me some more. We work our way up the stairs thankfully unharmed.

I shortly find myself straddling him and he's pulling off his shirt I'm wearing. He kisses me removing my bra and stares at my breasts. They've gotten fuller over the past couple of weeks and thankfully they're not sore. He looks up at me knowing that I don't care for nipple playing but I'll allow it for tonight. I exhale at the feel of his tongue on me and make sounds just for his benefit. Not gonna lie some of it actually does feel pretty good but I think men do it as this whole weird connection to their moms or because they yearn for the nurturing side of us in a sexual way. I massage his scalp because for some reason I have a feeling that this will last long. It's my fault for always pushing him away from it so I guess I'm reaping the consequences.

His tongue slides up the valley between my breasts and up my neck. That's hot. I reach my hand back and rustle with his belt and zipper before slipping my hand in. He moans deeply tilting his head back. I want him naked right now, completely vulnerable but I'll wait. He looks into my eyes as I continue and I squeeze him because I'm so turned on. He hisses but bites his lower lip. This is definitely a first.

"Tell me you love me." He demands.

"I love you." I'm for some reason breathless.

"Say it again."

"I love you."

I feel his cum on my hand but I continue playing with him then move my hand away to lick up the mess. He watches me closely until it's it's gone. "I fantasize about fucking you on my bike every time I ride it or walk by it."

"Can we do it outside for everyone to enjoy?"

"Whatever you want."

I smile. Something has definitely gotten into him today and I'm not sure what it is but I like it. He slaps my ass several times as we makeout then I have to go downstairs to finish up on dinner. Mama's hungry now.

...

I frown looking at my Annie girl frown. I told her about the big promotion to the new state. I doubt I'll be able to take her with me and even if I could I doubt she'll want to leave. Her whole life is here and being in her situation I wouldn't want to leave either.

"I swear if my new boss is a bitch I'll never talk to you again."

"I'll understand." I sigh. "I don't want to leave."

"Well do as Stefan suggested. Try to talk yourself out of it."

"Yeah, I will try to do that and also bargain with him to let Stefan have James' spot."

"Wait, what?"

"Stefan wants to go because he says there's no moving up from where he is now which is true unless Frank can't take the pressure or… dies. We kind of joked about him working here and when I told him how James wanted to leave he even sounded happy about the idea of me getting promoted to his spot then him taking mine or he gets promoted to James' spot. I'm fine where I am, I mean I like to reach for the stares but I'm about to be a mom and lose sleep. And trust me I know that shouldn't stop me but like I said I love where I am in this company."

"Looks like you have your mind made up."

I nod. "Can you work out the arrangements for me?"

"Of course."

"Thanks, Ann," she nods then walks out.

I exhale closing my eyes and smile when I see his face. We're lying in bed together and he's looking into my eyes. I love him. I have to call. "Baby. I miss you." I rest my head on my desk.

"Come over,"

"Are you busy?"

"Yes."

I smile. "Damn. I really, really miss you."

"Don't get me into trouble."

"What are you wearing?" I tease.

He's silent for a few moments. "I want you to do something for me."

"Anything,"

Another few quiet moments. "When I get home I want to see you in our kitchen not wearing anything at all."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing. Just your skin."

"Okay,"

"I love you."

"I love you."

He ends the call and my heart's beating pretty damn fast. I want to go home now.
