This is my favorite part...the morning after...I hope you enjoy this!


I woke up feeling slightly dazed. I propped myself up on my arm slightly to find myself staring at a much undressed Edward Masen sleeping calmly on my bed. I jumped up on my bed in shock. Slowly, the events of last night came rushing back to me and I felt a blush creeping on my cheeks. I snuggled back onto Edward's chest and decided to go back to sleep, catching a glimpse of the digital clock on the bedside table. 8 o clock. I closed my eyes. Wait a minute…8? I jumped back up on the bed. We were expecting a driver to drop us to the airport at 8.30.

I shook Edward with all my might. He opened his eyes and smiled up at me. "Good Morning," he drawled lazily. The husky quality of his voice coupled with the sexy smile made me go weak in the knees. But I snapped out of my trance as he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me down for a kiss. I pushed against the mattress and managed to say, "Edward. It's eight."

"Um hmm," Edward said, and continued to pull me towards him. I whacked him on his arm. "Edward, the driver's going to pick us up in half an hour," I told him sternly. He sighed.

"You worry a lot Isabella Swan," he grumbled, getting up from the bed and pulling on his boxers and his trousers.

"Get ready Edward. We have less than half an hour to get ready," I said warily, walking towards the bathroom. He held me by the waist, nuzzling my neck gently. "You know how we can save time? By bathing together," He whispered playfully into my ear.

I gently undid his hold on me and said, "or you could go into your own room, have a bath, pack up and meet me in 20 minutes," matching his playful tone. He sighed and gave me a light kiss on my forehead. He wore his shirt, pocketed his tie and walked out of the room.

I had the quickest bath in my life. I was washed and dressed in less than 10 minutes. I didn't have much to pack. Just the toiletries and shoes. I was wearing a pair of jeans and a comfy blue jumper and sneakers. I tied my hair into a pony tail and checked the room in case I had left something behind.

I rang the front desk to call for a bellboy and then Edward to find out whether he was ready. He was and he said he'd meet me in the lobby. The car had already reached by the time we went to the lobby. We got in and Edward tipped both our bellboys generously. In the car, I leaned my head on Edward's shoulder and we held hands and looked outside the windows. The silence was welcome.

Edward got coffee for us from a café in the airport and we drank as we waited for the boarding to begin. We didn't have too much to talk about and I was happy staying quite for some time. I just observed Edward sitting next to me. He was wearing a gray t shirt that was very flattering to his toned muscular body and jeans.

His bronze hair was falling into his green eyes, like it normally did. He was thinking about something while sipping his coffee and that look on his face reminded me that apart from being this hot colleague, he was also a very intelligent man. I smiled to myself, thinking about the times I slammed the door on his face, or had the urge to slap his so hard. Well, in my defence, he did act like an absolute jerk at that time.

"How will you be going home from the airport," Edward asked me, causing me to snap out of my reverie. He was smiling at me, stroking my knuckles with his thumb.

"Alice will be picking me up," I said. He nodded and went back to sipping his coffee. The flight was peaceful and by the time we landed, both of us had told each other about our lives, our families, friends, previous jobs in his case.

I was stunned to find out that he had been forced to resign his last job because of harassment charges. He assured me earnestly that the charges were false and that he was innocent. He had been proven innocent in court too. Apparently, the secretary of his previous boss was infatuated with him. And when he didn't respond to her advances, she kind of became maniacal. She stayed back in the office one night when he was working late and forced herself upon him and then accused him of harassment. Fortunately, the security cameras in the office showed how he pushed her away and left.

I asked her what had happened to that girl. He shrugged. "I don't know Bella. And honestly, I couldn't care less. As long as she is nowhere near me, I'm happy." He kissed me lightly. But I was still wondering about how he could be so nonchalant about the entire episode.

"It happened for the best Bella. I got this job after that. And this has been the best job I've had so far. Besides, I got to meet you," he smiled, as if reading my mind. I bit my lip and snuggled closer to him.

Alice was already waiting for me by the time we wheeled our respective trolleys out. I had gone with two bags and returned with three. That's how much I shopped. Edward was willing to carry my bags on his trolley too, but I figured that it would be easier to have two trolleys since we would be going separately. I caught sight of Alice and waved out at her, but suddenly felt a tug. Edward had pulled me by the waist and was kissing me passionately. I moaned, but then realised where we were. Not being a big fan of PDA, I pushed against him and smiled, "not here. Not now."

I turned to Alice whose eyes displayed shock. I hugged Edward and walked followed Alice to the car. This was going to be one difficult journey.


Another cliffhanger...what do you think? Review and let me know...please :)
