I awoke to Rob kissing my neck, "you want to go for a walk this morning?" Rob asked, "drink our coffee."

"Yeah, that'd be nice." I turned around so I'm facing him. "I am sorry I fell asleep last night."

"It's alright, you needed sleep. You seemed really on edge last night" Rob said.

I leaned in and kissed him, "thank you for being so understanding."

"Of course" Rob said holding me tight against him. "But I do have a request after the last two days here, and now over the weekend we'll have your family. Next weekend, I want us to go take a little vacation."

"Rob, we don't have the time to take a vacation every time you think I'm wound a little to tightly." I said, "it's just not feasible, I have to work. I already took time off during football season."

"I'm just asking for Saturday and Sunday to go to a B&B where we can decompress" Rob said, "otherwise we need to find a way for the weekend to be our time."

"I already took this weekend off, most likely next weekend I am going to have to work" I said

Rob was quiet, "you took off this weekend, but your family is going to be here. I want time with you too" Rob said.

"What, do you think I'm going to hang out with them and you're going to have to sit in the closet?" I asked with a laugh.

"No, but I do want alone time with you" Rob said leaning in and kissing me. I feel guilty knowing that I fell asleep last night, and I'm sure he thought we would be having sex late into the night, but I'm tired and my brain is focused on work. Rob kissed my neck. I have to make myself be into this right now. He needs this. "You look extra hot in the morning" he mumbled his hands going underneath my shirt. I'm tired, and stressed. This isn't what I want right now, but this is what he needs emotionally. He sits here all day with nothing to do, and he set up dinner last night.

I've got to pretend I'm into this, eventually I really will be.


We laid in bed half asleep, "I'm going to go into the studio. James is going to pick them up from the airport, and then maybe we can all meet for dinner."

"Babe, shh, just a few more minutes of us time" Rob said pulling me against him.


After he fell asleep I got out of bed, walking into our bathroom. I looked in the mirror, why do I feel gross for having sex that I didn't want, when I know that Rob needs it to feel loved, just like I feel loved when he gives me a massage, or takes the extra few minutes to make coffee.

I took a quick shower and getting out threw on leggings and a sweatshirt. I walked into our bedroom. sitting criss cross on the bed, "I have to get going babe" I said leaning down and kissing him.

"We said we would take that walk?" Rob asked opening his eyes.

"Yeah, but then we got a little sidetracked." I said, Rob sat up.

"Please" Rob said placing a hand on my knee. "I'll bring lunch in."

"I've really got to get going" I said pecking him on the lips, I ran a hand through his hair.

"Now, James is going to pick them up from the airport and then maybe we can all go to dinner?" I asked.

"I'll get them from the airport and then yeah, we'll meet you for dinner" Rob said, "you don't work to hard, okay?"

"I love you" I said kissing him again. I got out of bed and headed for the door.


I was surprised when they all barged into the studio. "Caroline" Sam said wrapping me in a hug.
