Chapter 10

Khenji

I get home around five, shower and relax after getting back on track with Livia. When I left her office, I was relieved that it ended the way it did – with her in my arms – and now, I have a nagging ache to be close to her. I send her a text:

Khenji: Will you spend the evening and maybe the night with me?

This is a risk for me, but I have to prepare myself for being close to her. Livia Augustus will be my wife soon. I know it in my heart and feel it in my bones, and I think she knows it, too. Plus, I need her over here. I want her to fill this house with her energy and see how well she fits into my world. I’m curious to know if she likes the layout, the furniture – everything. It’ll all be hers soon. It needs to be to her liking.

I’m also anxious to find out if I can resolve my rapid heartbeats and just be normal around her if she was over here in my home, where I’m the most comfortable. I’m hoping it helps because I’m tired of running from a woman I adore.

Livia: Do you want me to spend the evening with you or the night?

Khenji: both

Livia: …

It’s taking forever for her to reply. I wonder what her response will be and then I see:

Livia: that’s contradictory to everything you told me earlier

Khenji: I know

Livia: you have issues being close to me

Khenji: issues I need to resolve

Livia: so you won’t have a problem being close to me?

Khenji: I will, but I’ll work my way through it.

Livia: I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.

Khenji: I’m always uncomfortable around you.

Livia: why?

Khenji: because you’re what I’m not supposed to have

Livia: says who?

Khenji: me

Livia: I’ll be there. We need to talk in person about this

Khenji: that’s fine. Thank you.

I instantly begin planning our night. I’m not looking to get into anything fancy – just a chill night at my place that I think she will enjoy.
