I opened my eyes as a hint of soft morning light streamed through the curtains. Nicholas’ arm was draped over me, both of us naked against the smooth sheets. I glanced at the clock and realized it was still early, not quite six in the morning. Carefully, not wanting to wake him, I moved his arm and slipped out of bed. In the bathroom he had left a new toothbrush out for me, I quickly rinsed my face and brushed my teeth, then smoothed my hair with my fingers. I got dressed in the grey dress he had picked out for me, then headed for the kitchen. I saw a coffee machine and figured I would get it brewing so that there would be fresh coffee when he woke up. The only problem was, it looked complicated and I had no idea how it worked. I pressed a button and there was a loud grinding noise which caught me off guard. I shrieked.

Nicholas came out of the bedroom, pulling on boxers. When he saw me he started to laugh. “What are you doing, Breanne?” he asked as he approached.

“I woke up and thought I would make coffee,” I told him, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Sorry for waking you.”

“My alarm goes off at six, but this works for getting me out of bed too. Here, let me show you how to start it.”

It turns out Nicholas was a big fan of his coffee, the machine ground and pressed the beans before brewing. There was also a milk frother which he used to make me a cappuccino. I accepted the drink gratefully, sipping the warm frothy liquid while Nicholas drank his coffee black. “Do you have class today?” he asked me. I nodded. “Let me get dressed and I’ll drop you off on my way to work.”

“That’s really not necessary,” I told him but he leaned forward and nipped at my lip with his teeth, cutting me off.

“I insist,” he told me, then he walked back to his bedroom. I perched myself on a stool by the counter and picked up a magazine, flipping through the pages and sipping my drink while I waited. He didn’t take long before coming back into the kitchen dressed in a fitted navy suit and matching tie, adjusting a gold cufflink around his wrist. I stared at him in awe; the man looked immaculate in a suit and I was enjoying the view.

“If you keep looking at me like that, Breanne, we won’t be leaving this morning,” he told me with a raised eyebrow. I blushed then closed the magazine, heading to the sink and rinsing my cup. Nicholas did the same then we walked together to the elevator and left the building. There was a black car already parked at the curb and he opened the door for me to slide inside. When we were both seated the driver pulled into traffic.

“We’re making a quick stop at the University of Chicago first,” Nicholas told the driver.
