I awoke to the feeling of someone lightly twirling my hair, my sleepy brain slowly remembered the events of the previous night.

A smile slowly began to appear on my face.

"What's got you smiling this morning Ms America?" Charles asks and I look up to him

"I'm going to Boston in a few hours" I lie

Partial lie because I was excited to go to Boston. But I was more excited that i didn't feel regretful of my actions from the night before.

"Why Boston?" He asks

"Every year we go to the United States headquarters of our company and we do this presentation thing. It's actually so much fun. And I get to see my family when I'm there" I explain, when I say my family I mean the Pulisic family because I grew up with then and they basically raised me most of my life, then they actually raised me during my teenage years.

"Are you going to be back before we go to Saudi Arabia?"

I shake my head "no I don't get back until Saturday morning then I'm driving to London to see Christian once I get back."

"Well how do I go about getting you flowers if I won't see you for a week and a half?" He asks

"That's actually a great question, I'm sure you'll have fun figuring it out." I chuckle and finally get out of my bed

Looking down I realized I was only in a bra and underwear so i began looking around for my shorts

"Take your time, I'm enjoying the show" Charles jokes as I roll my eyes

"You need to get up too." I hiss

"It's 7:06." He argues

"I want coffee so get up" I tell him as he moves the blanket off of him and stands up looking for his clothes

I finally find my shorts and slide them on before grabbing Charles's black Ferrari shirt also sliding that on my body

"Um excuse me, that's my shirt" he says and I laugh

"You have a sweatshirt just wear that" I suggest as he chuckles

We quickly finish getting dressed and I change into leggings to fit to the cooler temperatures

"Okay let's go." I say grabbing my keys and my wallet

"Great, actually after we grab our coffee you can drop me off at max's building"

"Okay, but why max's building?" I ask and he shrugs

"Your like a five minute walk away from him so to avoid cameras and stuff I just parked there and walked here." He explains as I nod

I'm very thankful at times like this for the parking lot that wasn't just out in the open. Otherwise there would most definitely be some sort of presence of us in the media.

We got to the car and I got in the driver seat and he got in the passenger seat.

"You know what I've been thinking about?" He asks as I turn on the car

"It better not be about the car I drive." I joke as he laughs

"No no, but I'm still a bit confused by that. But you have rules, I want rules too." He begins

"You have rules. My rules." I laugh

"Not what I mean." He says and I finally leave the parking lot

"Okay let's hear then." I allow him to proceed

"I don't want this to just be sex. Like it's a friendship so whenever we want to see each other the expectation shouldn't be sex."

"I agree with that" I say
