Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV : 

"I have a big meeting tonight, so I might be home late. Are you gonna be okay?" Ian had his back to me as he was making breakfast for us.

He made amazing scrambled eggs, just like Kirsten.

I was sitting on the bar stool with my elbows propped on the kitchen counter, my eyes were admiring the body shape of my gorgeous fiancée and yes, his cute butt.

"Emma?" he asked again, pulling me out of my daydream.

"Yeah, don’t worry about me.I’m gonna go explore the village area, maybe check out some of NYU’s college bars.Hook up with some cute college guys," 

"Hey!" he shouted and he turned around.

He was holding onto the frying pan.

Pulling out a plate, he put some eggs on it and served it to me.

"Kidding.I don't like bars that much anyway.I just wanna check out their book store," I laughed and he let out a relieved sigh.

Weeks had passed since I arrived in the city.

Every morning Ian would make us breakfast and we'd talk for a bit before he had to leave for the gallery or for a meeting.

On the off chance that he had a day off, we would go out and catch a movie or explore the city.

But there were only about three or four of that for the past three weeks.

This gallery was everything to him, so it was only natural that he was working his butt off for it.

Usually, he would be home by dinnertime and we'd grab some food together.

He would update me on his work and I'd tell him about my day.

Thankfully, there were plenty of fun things to do in this city so I was always able to entertain myself.

"Sorry I can’t come with you," he said as he watched me devour his eggs.

"You'll make it up to me, yeah, yeah," I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Seriously, I will," he insisted, pausing for a moment before saying, "Ally’s been crunching numbers and we need quite a lot of liquid injection to jumpstart this thing.That’s the problem we've been having.But if the meeting goes well tonight, we'll get everything we need.The gallery is gonna be up and running before the summer's over and everything’s gonna be great,"

"And you and I will live happily ever after?" I asked.

He smiled and leaned across the counter, pulling me in for a short kiss and he said, "Absolutely and always,"

"Alright then, get your cute butt to that meeting and get us some happily ever after," I smiled back at him.

"Will do. Enjoy your day baby girl," he said as he reached for his bag and adjusted his tie.

I got up from my seat and helped him with the tie.I loved doing that.I got to stand in front of him and have the perfect excuse to touch his body.

After I was done with his tie, I noticed that he was staring down at me the whole time.

He smiled when my eyes caught his and his hand reached for my face, pulling my lips up to his.He kissed me so sweetly and so gently.He tasted like mint.

"See you later," he said as he pulled away, leaving me desperate for more.

"See you..." I whispered back.

I kept my gaze on his back as he made his way to the door and exited.

Letting out a sigh, I gIanced around the empty apartment and I couldn't help but feel somewhat lonely.

We had been doing long distance for a year and when I thought we could finally be together, things didn’t turn out exactly like how I imagined it.

Even though we were living together, I barely see him during the day.

Sometimes he would get home really late at night too, and he was always tired.

We used to have a great sex life, but lately we hadn't been doing much of that either.

I went to the window and watched my fiancée crossed the street.

He blended in so well with the streets of New York City, wearing that suit and tie.

"Just give him a little more time," I thought to myself .

"Once the gallery is open, Ian can finally rest and spend some time with me," 

 And we'll finally have our happily ever after...Right...?
