Selen PoV:

"Selen baby wake up."- she heard her mother say. She was tucked in so good that she didnt want move.
" Baby we are going to be late"
Ugggg, she threw her blanket over her head. She had barely sleep 4 hours last night. Stupid boyfriend had kept her chatting all night and now she couldnt even open her eyes.
The door opened and she knew her mother had just walked in.
"Selen will you get up already, we have to go baby, come on"- she said whilst caressing her over the blanket.

" Selen?"
"Mmmmm, cancel it"
"Baby we cant cancel on a flight thats already been booked"
"I'll explain it to Maria"
"No you wont, and you will kill me if i let you sleep and miss your flight. You have been bugging me for ages. Now get up!'-  her mother took a serious tone now and she knew that whenever her mother took serious tones, things were bound to get messy. Last times they had lost three pillows to her mother's cruelty.

Pouting she removed the blanket from her head.
" You slept late, didnt you?"
"Ehem"- she answered nodding.
" Well you brought it upon yourself baby. Now get up and get ready."- she walked out the room now.

Selen got up and made for the bathroon, vowing never to sleep at 5 am and wake up at 8:40 am again.  She washed her face with cold water twice, hopping to get the drowsiness to go away.
"I made you coffee."
Her mother knew her so well!- she thought to herself. Selen took a quick shower, brushed her teeth and got out with her hair still damp.
Going into the kitchen, she sat down on her chair and starting eating the breakfast her mother had made her, while gulping her coffee, nearly burning herself in the procces.
"Be careful honey, you still need those lips"
"Yes mum, Jake has a lot more kissing to do"- she said totally aware that that pissed her mother off, but she had done it on purpose after all. She loved her mother, and vice-versa, and thus she knew full well what irritated her, and talk of her little baby girl kissing man irritated her to her very core. "Kidding mummy"- she said laughing as she caught her mothers eyes.

It took them 20 minutes to get ready, take the luggages and get going. They were going to Maria first, pick her up and then driving to the airport. This was gonna be a blast! Two best friends on a trip to the beach, alone and crazy.

Alex PoV:

It was 9:04 and he had been in his office for nearly 2 hours now. He always woke up early and headed straight for work. He hated traffic or being late. Coming to work when nobody was there helped him get his work started and prepare the everything to successfully outstay yet another hard and tiring day.

His secretary had brought him his cup of coffee, black no sugar, and handed him his flight ticked. He hated flying. Hated airports, but his job involved such trips from time to time and he didnt trust his employees enough to let them handle the most important meeting and project of the year.

He was a cold man, closed in his own cocoon and keeping people at arms length always. Even his long term fianceè hadnt been able to change him, so she had given up, accepting her defeat and him for what he was. They were happier that way, he thought.

The door kncked and Vivian walked in.
"Wanted to give you a goodbye kiss before you left."- she said as she went behind his desk, into his lap and kissed him fervently.
She was a good woman.  A bit selfish and sel-involved, but werent they all?

" When do you leave?"- she snuggled her head in his neck.
"In 10 minutes"- his hand rested on her thigh and the other on her back.
"Let me take you"
'No, im driving there. Go home Viv"-Alex was a man of a few words. Vivian knew that when he decided something , it was a lost case to try and reason with him.
"Call me as soo as you land. Okay?"
That he could do. He nodded and kissed her again.

Vivian had left and he himself was now on the way to the airport. Traffic was hell! Great! It would take him at least 50 minutes to reach it. Turning his head left he noticed a blue car,some sort of cheep model, and three women inside, dancing to the beat. Ricky Martin - Livin' la Vida Loca.  He didnt realise he was staring untill one of the girls turned her head and they ended up staring at each-other for a couple of seconds.

A loud beep woke him up and brought him to his senses. It was his turn to drive and he quickly did so. What was that?- he thought to himself,but he quickly dismissed that thought and started going over the details of the contract in his head. Every thing needed to run smoothly.
