I opened my eyes, the bright green numbers of the alarm clock staring at me. 10:45 a.m. I blinked hard and tried to remember what day it was. I sat up looking around the room, finding that Bryce was already up and gone. I grabbed my phone from the table. It was Monday. I had slept until almost 11:00 on a Monday morning, which was unheard of.

I slipped into my discarded clothing that was piled on the floor and left the room. The house was quiet, and I finally found Bryce in the kitchen. He had just poured himself a cup a coffee and grabbed another mug from the cupboard when I entered the kitchen.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," he said, bringing over the mug of hot coffee to me and kissing me on the cheek. "Sleep well?"

"Too well." I grinned.

"Great, that means you’re starting to unwind. I’m going to help once again with that process. I'm taking you over to the spa. You have a mud wrap and massage in exactly one hour." He popped a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"That sounds amazing. What are you going to do while I am doing that?"

"No need to worry about me, but if you must know, I am going to enjoy the sauna while you are getting pampered. So, go get dressed,” he said, handing me a bowl of fruit before leaving the kitchen." He slapped my ass as he walked by and winked at me.

I carried my mug, along with the fruit, with me down the hall, and just before I entered the room, I could already hear my cell phone ringing away. I set the mug and bowl on the table and grabbed my phone.

"It's 11:00! Where the hell are you? You were supposed to be here at 7:30."

"Who is this?"

"It's Mark, and it's Monday. Where are you?"

"I told you, I went on vacation."

"Mia stop joking around. This merger is everything, and you are supposed to be here now. I need you here," Mark barked into the phone.

Bryce walked into the bedroom and glanced at me, a worried expression on his face. He didn't say anything; he just walked over to the closet and began searching for some clothes.

"Listen, I told you already, I haven't had a vacation in fifteen years. I have thousands of vacation hours banked, not to mention all those unpaid overtime hours. You can't deny me."

As the words fell from my mouth, I noticed Bryce had stopped what he was doing and now sat down on the edge of the bed. I could feel him watching my every move and listening to every word I was saying.

"I do the work of probably five, if not six, people. My department shouldn't just be me, Mark. Remember what I told you before I left. I meant it."

I hung up the phone and threw it into my purse, my head pounding. I sat down on the edge of the bed beside Bryce and rested my head on his shoulder.
