Endlessly (Jamie Dornan) *COMPLETED*

Chapter 4

My alarm went off at eight the next morning and I groaned while it beeped loudly. I was up half the night smiling over that life-changing kiss. He had me weak; I was never going to be the same. After our steamy session last night, I didn't even want to kiss anyone else. I couldn't imagine softer, more perfect lips touching mine.

I hoped I could squeeze in a few minutes with him away from my family, but I figured it near impossible since they were staying at my apartment. I rubbed my eyes and eventually willed myself awake so I could shower before I had to go to the airport.

After cleaning up, I grabbed my black yoga pants and a light pink Nike shirt to wear; I didn't need to look good for my family. Besides, my mom and sister wanted to get manicures and pedicures then go to lunch for a girls day. I had no idea what my dad planned on doing, but I was sure it'd entail walking around town with his new digital camera in the air.

I dried my hair and threw it up in a simple ponytail. I unplugged my phone before heading toward the kitchen to make coffee. I set it on the counter and it began buzzing. Jamie was calling. I was worried because it was pretty early, and he normally only sent texts in the mornings.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, beautiful," he said.

I almost fell to the floor. He was dangerous to my health.

"Good morning to you," I replied, and could hear him smile through the phone.

"Can you come downstairs?"

"Huh?" I asked.

"I went for a run and stopped to get coffee on my way back. Figured you could use some fuel. Also might be the only chance I have to see you today."

He was perfect. My heart was pounding and my stomach was doing somersaults. "You're so thoughtful. Give me two minutes."

After we hung up, I ran to the bathroom. I pinned back a few fly away hairs, adjusted my shirt to show some cleavage, then swished some mouthwash for safe measure.

I took the elevator to the garage level, but when I stepped out, he wasn't there. He must've gone to the front. Sure enough, I walked through the lobby and could see him sitting on a bench outside the door, two coffees and a bag sitting beside him.

He smiled widely, standing when I walked out.

"Hi," I said shyly.

"Hey, babe." He walked over and kissed me softly.

I could get used to that every morning, and the pet name? Already good with that.

"Thank you for the coffee!" I said. "I was just about to make a pot."

He stared at me for a moment before it must've registered with him that he hadn't offered me mine. "Oh, yeah, my pleasure." He grabbed one and handed it to me.

I smelled the strong aroma, closing my eyes briefly. Bringing me coffee was a sure way to get on my good side, not like he needed help.

"I also brought a blueberry muffin to hold you over." He gave me the bag.

"Wow, you're too sweet!" I smiled and his blue-grey eyes lit up.

I also took note that he was sweating from his run. My gaze trailed down his t-shirt to see it was wet in all the right places, hugging his toned abs. He cleared his throat, which snapped me back to reality.

"When do you have to leave?" he asked.

"In like ten minutes." I stuck out my bottom lip.

He smiled before reaching his thumb up to rub it gently. "Ten minutes is long enough to pick-up where we left off."
