Alicia's POV (uh-lee-see-uh)

It was 6:30am and Calum was leaving for work.

"Please stay a little longer." I tiredly mumbled.

"I'll be back after work baby, don't worry." Calum chuckled softly.

"Good luck at the interview, I hope you get the promotion." I smile brightly.

"Thank you babygirl." He hugged me tightly before turning out the door.

"Bye cal." I said.

"Bye Alicia." He said before closing the door.

I plopped down and looked out the window. The view from the 20th floor of this apartment, shared by me and Calum. I'm watching the sun rise. New York City is beautiful. I had a view of the north and south towers, and a small view of the Empire State Building. Like I said, New York City is beautiful. And i'm living the dream here, with the man of my dreams.

The sun rose and I lay back down on the bed. I turn the television on and watched Friends. After a while I slowly drifted back asleep.
