Chapter 10

The Snow

I woke up, comfortably lodged into the warmth of a body I had learned to know extremely well over the last few days. It felt almost familiar to find myself pressed against's Dan's body. Everything felt fuzzy, everything felt good, it was all just too enjoyable: from his light breath on the back of my neck, to his slender fingers gently resting on the skin of my bare hip.

I felt him move lightly behind me and I slowly turned in his arms to face him.

I pressed my nose to his' as I lifted my hand to rest on his chest. I brushed his collarbones with the tips of my fingers.

He sighed with content in his sleep as the hand that previously rested on my hip, crawled into my back to pull me closer closer to him.

Our bodies laid flush against one another as I continued my exploration of his skin with my fingers.

The light was peering through the heavy curtains, gently illuminating his peaceful sleeping face.

I connected the dots with the freckles on his cheeks as rays of light made them almost completely fade away.

"Dan?" I softly whispered, almost feeling guilty for having to wake him up.

I could've stayed like this forever and I wished we could've enjoyed this last morning more, but we had stuff to do, deals to make and a plane to take.

His eyelids fluttered lightly.

"Daniel?" I asked again as I brushed away with the back of my fingers a strand of stray black hair that fell from his surprisingly extremely resistant quiff.

He suddenly moved to nuzzle into my neck.

I couldn't help myself but run my fingers through his soft hair.

"Dan." I said a little louder this time.

I felt his thin lip press against the skin of my neck to kiss it, his stubble slightly grazing me there.

"No." He groaned with a deep raspy voice. "Please, just a little bit more." He whined like a child, mumbling against my neck.

"I know." I answered. "But we have too many things to do today." I said and he sighed deeply before reluctantly detaching himself from me after another couple of minutes.

We rolled out of bed and got ready in a comfortable silence.

We figured it would be best to not talk about it and just let all of this drift and fade away into our memories. It was for the best and I knew it, what would people even think if they knew? I would be known as the slut who cheated on her boyfriend with her boss, on a business trip, to get a bonus! And Dan, who was only just reaching knew heights would be seen as just another perverted boss who treats their personal assistants like prostitutes.We'd both lose our jobs, since nobody would trust him anymore. Philip would hate me because I betrayed him and we'd end up on the streets, unable to pay the rent of his overly expensive penthouse downtown. It was for the very best.

He packed our suitcases as I kept undoing them, because I was never sure of my choice of outfit.

We were going to meet the big bosses of Atlantic today, three different times to present our three different protégés. Today, we'd seal the biggest deal Dan's company had ever known. We had on our plate: Elizabeth, the disney princess, Stefani, an highly eccentric singer and a small band of dorks that called themselves The Vampire Weekend.

Once I finally settled onto something to wear and Daniel finished packing everything up, we stood in the middle of the room, looking around.

We not only looked if we hadn't forgotten anything, we looked around to make sure we simply didn't forget this place and everything that had happened between these four walls.
