Chapter 55
Matt
A few weeks have gone by since meeting Scarlett’s dad. Scarlett has been super busy with the gym. I still see her every day. I’ve insisted on it. She has been getting in late, though.
It’s early, maybe six in the morning. Scarlett is next to me, sleeping on my chest. I didn’t bother getting up at four this morning so I could spend some time with her. I can’t get enough of her. It used to freak me out, but I’ve accepted it now.
The sun isn’t up yet, and I’m going through my e-mails. I’ve posted the apartments for rent. There’s one more apartment available and I have several inquiries from possible tenants. Some of them have already filled out an application.
As soon as someone signs the lease on the last place, I’m out of here. Well, until I convince my business partner I’ve made enough to turn a profit and we should expand. But that’ll take time.
Luckily, Scarlett has agreed to move with me to Texas.
If she hadn’t, I don’t know if we would continue our relationship.
Long distance relationships only work if they are temporary; one of us would have to make some changes to our life.
Scarlett said she was alright with moving; I think she loved it there. I’m anxious to get back.
Since Scarlett was so busy, I stayed busy too. I finished my project a little earlier than planned. I’ll be telling Scarlett the good news as soon as she wakes up.
