up the next day, Erica wanted to cry. She helped him out with
his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed.
    “ So,
this trip to…” she suddenly trailed off and laughed.
    “ What?”
he asked as he looked at her. “What is so funny?”
    “ Well,
I just realized that I have no idea where you live,” she said
with a smile.
    “ And
I don’t know where you live either,” he said with a
smile. “But I have heard you mention Philly every so often so I
think that is home for you?”
    “ Actually,
I grew up in Kirksville, Missouri and then moved to Philly with my
sister. Career choice and stuff.”
    “ That
is so weird. I was born and raised in Missouri,” Daniel said
looking at her.
    “ Really?”
she asked with a smile.
    “ St.
Louis actually.”
    She crossed her legs
and looked at him.
    “ Nice
to meet you, Daniel Reese, from St. Louis.”
    “ Nice
to meet you too, Erica Hayes from Philadelphia,” he said as he
looked at her. She looked at him and smiled. “So, I know this
is weird and everything so I really don’t want you to worry
about anything. I’ll take a cab to the airport. I hate
goodbyes.”
    She looked at him and
shook her head.
    “ What
do you mean?” she asked looking at him sadly.
    “ I
just can’t do this goodbye thing. I hate it and seeing the
sadness in your eyes is going to be too much for me,” he said
touching her chin.
    “ I
don’t care what you say. I am taking you to the airport no
matter what you say,” she said with a smile.
    He leaned in and
brushed her lips with his.
    “ This
is too much to ask,” he said softly.
    “ Really?
What am I supposed to do while you are away doing God knows what? I
mean, you are going to be away for a whole week. Are you going to
deny me the last forty minutes in heaven?” she asked as she
looked at me.
    “ I
guess you will always be the one to win arguments in this
relationship,” he said as he looked at her.
    “ Aww,
you just said that we are in a relationship,” she said.
    He moved closer to
her and smiled.
    “ Well,
that’s what is going on right? We are in a relationship, aren’t
we?” he asked. She shrugged and leaned in to kiss him.
    “ So,
what time is your flight?” she asked.
    He looked at his
watch and shrugged.
    “ In
around three hours,” he said looking at her seated in nothing
but her underwear. “You should probably get dressed.”
    “ Well,
we have to head out then,” she said climbing off the bed. She
pulled on a pair of blue jeggings and a white flowered halter top.
She held her hair in a high bun and retouched her lip gloss before
she grabbed her sunglasses from the table.
    “ Ready?”
Daniel asked as Erica put on a pair of black peep toe heels. She
figured that she was not going to go anywhere so she thought that
putting on a pair of fancy shoes was the best her day was going to
get. She walked into the bedroom and nodded.
    “ Ready,”
she said in a low voice as she looked around. “Where are the
keys to the car?” “They are right…” Daniel
started as he turned around. The way she looked blew him away.
“Whoa,” he said in a soft voice.
    “ What?”
she asked.
    “ You
look amazing.”
    “ Really?
I haven’t done anything different.”
    “ Most
people just say thanks,” he said with a smile.
    She looked at him and
nodded.
    “ Well,
thanks babe. But if you keep looking at me like that you are going to
strip me naked and be late. So, hand them over,” she said
holding her hand out. Daniel walked towards her pulling his suitcase
behind him. He handed her the car keys and looked into her eyes.
    “ You
know, you really don’t have to come,” he said.
    She shrugged and
rolled her eyes.
    “ We
are most definitely going to the airport babe. So you can stop trying
to change my mind,” she said.
    “ So,
you promise not to cry? Because if I see a single tear, I will change
my mind,” he said as he looked at her.
    “ Babe,
this is the future of your company and you did not drag me as eye
candy to
