Payton's POV
"Babe! Wake up. We have to leave soon if we want to get to my parents on time." I chimed, shaking Ethan. He let out a groan while pulling the covers over his head.
Leaning over the edge of the bed, I laid on top of him and pulled the covers back down.
"Baby...get up." I planted a trail of kisses along the side of his face. After a while he turned towards me, a smile on his face.
"I'm up. I'm up." He placed a hand on my lower back, and lifted his face to mine. Scrunching my nose, I pushed up on his chest and away from him.
"Brushing of the teeth before kissing." I said, getting off him and the bed. With a chuckle, Ethan got off the bed, and headed into the bathroom.
I heard the faucet turn on, and I laughed to myself. I looked at the clock and sighed. It was 3:20
"What do you want me to pack for you?" I yelled, bring out his suitcase. With no answer, Ethan walked out a little while later. He stalked over to me, his shorts hanging dangerously low on his waist, revealing his v-line.
When his body was about a foot away from mine, he placed his hands to my waist, pulling me towards him. After a while of him staring at me, he latched his lips to mine.
Reluctantly I wrapped my arms around his neck. He slipped my scarf from my head, freeing my curls. He gently lowered us onto the bed, not breaking the contact. After a moment, I pulled away and rolled out from under him.
"We are supposed to be getting ready. I really don't want to leave late. You know how much I hate being late." I got up from the bed, and stood in front of Ethan. He now assumed an upright position.
"C'mon." I wrapped my hand Ethan's arm and tried to pull him up with no avail. He was not gonna move.
"I know what's wrong." I climbed onto of him, straddling him. Placing my hands on both sides of his face, I looked into his sky blue eyes.
"You're scared to meet my parents aren't you?" He didn't answer, but the look he gave me said me all.
"Don't be scared. They are gonna love you. Promise." I raked my hands through his hair, giving him a smile. Sliding off of him, I pulled him so that he was standing up. I walked back around the bed to where my suitcase lay, already packed. Ethan still hadn't moved from where he stood. Placing my hands on my hips I said,
"Are you gonna start packing, or are you going to keep staring at me?"
"I'm just admiring my goddess thats all." Ethan answered with a smirk. I blushed, rolling my eyes and turned back to my suitcase to put it on the bed. It was funny because the majority of my closet is at Ethan's house. The only clothes of mine that are still in my house are my corporate attire.
"I am going to go shower. By the time I am out, please be finished packing." I walked past him, already knowing what he was going to say next.
"Can I com-"
"No." I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me, without locking it. I quickly undressed and hopped in for a soothing hot shower.
••••••••••••••••••
"Did you make sure all of the windows are locked Ethan?" I asked, standing in the entryway with our suitcases. We were finally finished and would leave the house at the premeditated time of 4:00 am.
"Yes ma'am I did." Ethan chuckled, opening the door for us to exit. Outside it was bitter cold, and still looked like it was dead night. He held my hand, and led me to the car which was parked outside. After we placed the bags into the trunk and got into the car.
