Ethan POV
I pinched my nose bridge after Crystal ended the phone call. Now I have to tell Lizzie that I can't go to her parent's house with her this Christmas to meet them.
I got up thinking about what I'm going to do. I had promised to go to her parents for Christmas dinner. Crystal said Christmas day so maybe I could be at her parents' house in the morning then be back here to get ready for Lizzie parents house.
That's not a bad idea. It could work and no one gets hurt or disappointed. I really need to find out how this parenting thing is going to work especially since I live here and she lives in another state and I don't think she is moving back. She had built a new life there and I don't think she would just move back here just so I could see my child everyday or when I can.
Will she do that?
She did just run from her life her why can't she do it again so I can be apart of my child's life without being so far apart from her. I don't want to communicate with her over a phone every time I need to see and talk to her. It would be hard to visit every day taking a plane back and forth and I have work to do here.
The only reason why I found her was because I was in the state on a business trip.
I remembered that my mother wanted to see me but it's too late in the night to go over there now. They must be asleep right and I don't want to wake them up at this late hour.
I didn't want to bring work with me home so I finished typing the last paperwork packed up my stuff then left my office locking the door behind me.
The building was dark since I was the only one left in the building. I greeted the security wishing him a good night making my way to my car.
I thought I would have fallen asleep from exhaustion driving home but I made it safely into the driveway. Dragging my half-asleep self to the door opening it then locking making my way upstairs to my bedroom.
I strip down to my underpants falling on my side of the bed falling asleep as soon as my body hits the bed.I woke up the next morning to Lizzie still sound asleep beside me. She looked like an angel with her hair sprawled out beneath her. I brush a strand of hair from her forehead and she shifts in her sleep her brown eyes opening to stare at me. "Good Morning, " she said sleepily not fully awake.
"Good morning, " I kissed her on her forehead getting out of bed. I didn't get the needed hour of sleep but it was better than none.
"You came home late again, " she said giving me a scolding look. She always warns me that work that didn't get to finish in work hours should be left for the next day but I never listen I always work late. I sighed running my hand through my bed hair.
"I know, " I whispered.
"I was waiting up for you, " she added in a disappointment.
"I'm sorry I made you stayed up late for me but I always tell you not to wait up, " I replied.
"And I always tell you not to work so late, it's not safe to drive home in such a late hour you could fall asleep around the steering wheel and possible meeting in an accident, " she scolds frowning at me and my reckless behavior.
"I'm here aren't I, " I said trying to calm her but it did the opposite.
"I'm serious Ethan something could have happened to you, " she fretted and I know I worry her but she needs to understand that I have to work late some night when I have an important paper to deal with that can't wait the next day.
