Payton's POV
"Ethan. Let's go." I yelled up the stairs. Unfortunately the weekend was over, meaning that I needed to get back home. I have work tomorrow.
"I don't want you to leave." Ethan whined. Honestly I didn't want to either. This weekend has been so fun. Just spending it together.
"I don't want to leave either." I stood on my tip toes, and kissed his cheek. Ethan wrapped his muscular arms around my waist, pulling me toward him. He lightly placed his soft lips of mine, igniting a fire.
My hands found their way into his hair, tugging him closer. Kicking myself back into reality, I said
"Stop...Ethan...stop. At this rate I won't get to work tomorrow. Hell, I won't even get home." I stepped back, away from him, a smile tugging on my lips.
"That was kinda the plan." He said, picking my carry on up and taking it into the car. I whispered a little good bye to the house, before locking it with the spare Ethan gave me yesterday.
"You ready?" Ethan asked me, holding the car door open for me. I gave a curt nod, my kinky curls bouncing. After Ethan got in the car we were on our way. It was about a 20 minute drive back to my house. When we finally parked in my driveway, Ethan turned of the car.
"Thank you for having me Ethan." I said looking into his eyes. He was gonna miss me.
"It was fun." He said sullenly. Cupping his face in my hands, I pulled him close to my face so that our noses were touching.
"Don't worry. We will see each other again I promise." His eyes met mine, as if to challenge what I was saying. He brought his lips closer to mine, kissing me.
"Alright." I said. "I have work tomorrow." I pulled away from him, and got out of the car. Ethan came to my side, handing my my carry on from the backseat.
"Thank you." I smiled, taking my bag from his hands. Looking up at him, his body was way bigger than my smaller frame. He placed a light peck on my forehead.
I walked to my front door before realizing he wasn't following.
"You can come inside you know." I looked over my shoulder. Ethan was leaning against his Land Rover.
"If I come inside, I won't be coming out." Ethan teased, playfully. I blew him kiss, before stepping inside my house. Ethan waited until I was fully inside before getting into his car and driving home.
••••••••••••••••••
I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm. I rolled in my bed expecting to roll into Ethan's arms. Of course not. Instead I rolled into a cold spot on my bed. I looked at my phone. It said 5:00, which meant I had 2 hours to get to work.
Unwillingly, I got out of the bed and into my bathroom. Stripping out of my clothes, and getting into the shower, I thought about the weekend I had spent with Ethan. It was the best weekend I have ever had.
But now I had to go back to work. Honestly work was demanding, but amazing. I worked for a big company called Smithsonian Inc. I was the Human Resource Manager. I knew all of the 719 people who worked at the company. From the CEO, a close friend of my father all the way down to the janitors. Each got equal respect from me and I held them at high standards.
By the time I was finished getting dressed, it was about 6:20. I wore a navy blue blazer with a black pencil skirt paired with black heels. Today was a big day. Our company had an important meeting with another equally as huge company. We wanted to join forces, and be assets to each other. Quickly wrapping my hair into a neat bun, I grabbed my keys, phone, and purse, heading out the door.
