“Morning,” Cole says. The smell of coffee from the little machine in front of him fills my hotel room.

It’s not fair. He’s wearing the same black dress pants and the same blue button-down shirt that he wore yesterday, and yet he looks totally put together.

Nobody pays much attention to what men wear and whether they change their looks day after day. He can definitely get away with wearing the same thing two days in a row.

“What time is it?” I can tell from the thin blades of sunlight that stab between the blackout curtains that it’s probably morning, but that’s it. Why am I always surrounded by annoyingly cheerful morning people?

“Seven. There’s one hour until the conference starts,” he says. He places two mugs of coffee on the desk and sits on the chair. He slides one piping hot mug toward me. “Coffee? It’ll wake you up.”

I sit up and pull the white bed sheets over my naked body. Stretching my arms wide, I yawn and stare into the distance for a few seconds. Still not saying anything, I pick up the coffee and take a sip. I don’t want to encourage him to start a long chat so early in the morning.

“Can I open the curtains?”

“Sure,” I say. I’m already awake anyway.

Cole pulls the curtains open and lets the morning sunlight pour in through the big window. He stands there, watching whatever’s happening outside at this ungodly hour.

“What do you want for breakfast today? The buffet downstairs? Room service? Or the same as yesterday? I figure you’d be bored of glazed donuts by now, but I can ask the concierge to get some donuts from the store again if you want.”

“The coffee is enough,” I say to his back as I take another sip of the coffee. “Most mornings I skip breakfast anyway. I’d rather sleep a few more minutes.”

“I’ll order two sandwiches from room service,” he decides.

“Why did you even bother asking me if you’re just going to do whatever you want?”

“Okay, baby. As you wish, I won’t ask you things anymore. I’ll just do whatever.” Cole turns around and gives me a boyish grin.

I feel a flutter in my stomach. This was supposed to be casual, right? I think I may be catching feelings.

I mean, I know he said all the right stuff last night, but it all seems so absurd in the light of day. I’m not sure how I feel about the way he just called me “baby,” or about his very presence here in my hotel room. He’s my boss who happens to be my friend with benefits, not my boyfriend.

“I didn’t expect you to still be here when I woke up.” Still sitting up on the bed, I stare at the black coffee in my mug, feigning indifference. I realize I must make a strange sight, inspecting a normal mug of coffee like I’ve just spotted a fairy enjoying a soak in it.

“What are you talking about?” He turns around, places his empty mug on the desk, and takes a seat on the bed.
