Ethan's POV
Winnie has been staying over at my house for the past 2 days, and now that it's monday, meaning I have to go to work, I don't know if she wants to stay home or do something. I wake up to my alarm and as my sight clears up, I see my beautiful girlfriend sleeping peacefully by my side, my arms around her waist. I smile at the sight before getting up to go to the bathroom and to turn on the shower. I take off my sweats and boxers and let the water send shivers down my spine. After I wash my body, I turn the water off and wrap a towel around my lower body, going back into my room to get my work clothes on. I get dressed and before I leave, I wake Winnie up by softly brushing her hair back and caressing her cheek. She starts to move around, and that's when her eyes flutter open.
W: "good morning baby"
E: "good morning princess"
W: "it's monday isn't it?"
E: "yep, and I need to go to work"
W: "so that's why your all dressed up huh?"
E: "that's right. what are you planning to do when I'm gone?"
W: "I think I'll go back to my house to clean up a little, and if I still can, I'll come back here and wait for you"
E: "of course you can come back princess"
W: "then that's what I'll do"
I look down at my watch and see that I'm gonna be late if I don't leave soon. I get up off the bed, rushing to get my laptop and various documents off my desk to put them all in my case.
E: "look princess, I have to go, I'll see you at 7:30 tonight"
W: "I'll walk you to the door"
I go downstairs with Winnie following behind me, I grab my blazer off the coat hook and open the front door.
W: "baby wait"
I turn around only for her to fix my messed up shirt collar.
W: "there"
E: "thanks babe"
I give her a kiss before heading out.
E: "I love you"
W: "I love you too, now go before you're late"
I get in my car and speed off to work, dreading not being with Winnie for almost the entire day.

Winnie's POV
for the past 48 hours, me and Ethan haven't separated once, so this day's gonna be quite hard without him. I can't help but think that I'm a burden to him: that's why i'm gonna go back to my house today. I get dressed into one of E's hoodies and my sweats, I put my slides on, and head out. My first stop is the corner store to buy myself a protein bar to have for breakfast, then I go back home and start cleaning: I get a bucket and start washing my floor, tiring me immediately, but I keep going. I throw away the old dirty water and refill the bucket before washing my windows, then hoover my carpet in my room, and lastly, I clean out my closet. I really needed this, especially since I haven't done it for so long. To clean out my closet, I get some trash bags and set them on my bed, and start to empty out the closet: I divide them into hoodies, sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, t-shirts and jackets. I put stuff I don't like anymore or that doesn't fit me into the bags before I set my clothes back in the closet. That was satisfying. I look at the clock and see that it's lunch time. I get my car keys and head to a really cute cafe that has really good salads. Once I get there I get in the queue to order, and the lady in front of me gets a phone call. Damn it, I'm so hungry, but I'm not gonna jump in front of her, I might as well try and understand what she's saying as I wait for her to be done. Something about a wrong number, needing to call someone else for a job application, wait a second... she said Ethan Dolan, she must be an intern or something from where he works. I could follow her in my car to see where he is, cause that's not creepy at all winnie, give him a break... or maybe I could just try it. I see her pick up a salad and a water bottle in a bag and leave, so I do just what I planned. After a couple of seconds, I follow her out. i stay behind her in my car, quite far back from where her car is, just so she doesn't suspect anything. She parks on front of a really tall glass building and heads inside. Not long after, I do the same and head straight for the front desk.
D: "Hi there, I'm Donna how can I help you?"
W: "I'm here to see Ethan Dolan"
D: "He's in his lunch break right now, do you want me to refer a message?"
W: "I'm his girlfriend, and I don't have an appointment or anything, can I see him please?"
D: "oh uh, sure, but take this visitor's pass"
W: "Thanks Donna"
D: "No problem sweetie, 2 floor, last door on your right.
I head for the elevator and press the button that says 2, hoping no one will get in before it closes. Thankfully I'm alone, and surprisingly I'm nervous: what if he doesn't want me here? what if I'm interrupting him as he's working? this was a bad idea. The doors open and the corridor is empty, thank god. I walk all the way down the long corridor and reach the last door on the right, EGD written on the door: this is his office. I shyly knock, but since I don't know what the response is, I open the door anyway.
