Kiara's POV:

"Honey get up. Your alarm clock has already set off three times", Dean is starting to torment me.

"Fuck off, I need my god damn sleep. Jeez if I get up in half an hour it's enough."

"Kiara I've already hit the gym and have been swimming, showered and hey I even made us breakfast. Now move your grumpy but very sexy ass."

Why the hell did I think it was a good idea to stay here again? Should have at least gone back in my room and locked the doors, he couldn't pester me right now. Jeez, how is it possible to be in such a good mood this early in the morning? Despite the fact that we maybe had like two or three hours of sleep.

Seeing as kissing hadn't helped, he tried by throwing a cushion at me. Until I decided to hide underneath the blanket, he is now trying to pull the blanket away. Great now I'm lying there naked. Yes, naked because it wasn't worth the effort of getting dressed again, besides it was a lot nicer to feel his skin against mine.

It might be end of May, but it's freaking cold today and without Dean's warmth, I start to shiver. "Come on Kar, get underneath the shower and then have breakfast with me."

"Jeez, not everyone is so into practice fucking the whole night and then being able to get up early."

"It might surprise you my dear, but I'm sure not into so much practice. The only other time which might be able to compare with it, was Dubai", he whispers in my ear and placing another soft kiss on my temple.

Sure, Mr Sexy who's had god knows how many girls is trying to tell me he isn't usually like this. As if he could read my mind, he makes me look at him.

"Honey I told you before don't believe the magazines. I mean kill me, yea I've had one night stands maybe three or four in the last half a year. Jeez I was single and just a man. But I'm not what you think. And I'm sure not used to that amount of sex, you simply drive me insane."

With insane he means, we were at it like rabbits, only maybe a little less fast. After our little fall out last night, both of us were extremely wound up and emotional. Our sex was so different every time we started over again. From super soft and emotional to hard and wild in so many different positions I lost count.

Getting up I wince a little. "Sore?", Dean questions, embarrassed I simply nod. "Me too, a little", he chuckles.

Wow I don't think I had expected that. "So no lunch break visit?", I chuckle and wink before I head towards the shower.

"Only because I'm in a meeting", he calls out after me. "I'd even taken you again this morning, but you're too damn late."

Honestly, I even know I'm far behind in time, so I really rush under the shower and all the other stuff getting ready. Dean was right I should have gotten up earlier, especially as I didn't think about the longer way to work I had now.

Dean rakes his eyes up and down my body and I see a gleam in his eyes, telling me he likes what he sees.

"Red is definitely your colour Kar", he says while handing me a coffee.

With my ginger hair it took me a long time to wrap my head around wearing red until I realized it doesn't look too bad after all.

To be honest I wasn't quite sure about this dress, thinking it's too daring. But if Dean likes it, I'm fine with it. It's tight fitting, it's almost knee lenght but has a slit 3/4 length up the back to just below my butt, thin straps and as it is a little tight around the chest, it plunges my breasts up a bit. I have paired it with a black light jacket so my shoulders won't show and a black patent belt.

This week I really need to go shopping badly. As this is my last outfit I haven't already worn to work. For someone in my position it's expected to wear classy and up to date outfits and in a huge variety. It's the only thing I really hate about this work.

"Thanks for the breakfast", I say with a swift kiss before clearing everything into the dishwasher. Wich reminds me of something. "You cleared up the mess from last quite well."

Dean rubs the back of his neck and gives me a little nervous look. "Actually that was Cindy, my house keeper."

Wait, what? House keeper? Alright let's face it, he's a hard-working man and the place is spotless. But I haven't seen her. "Where is she?"

"Oh she's cleaning the gym right now, so we could have breakfast in peace. She usually starts up there at about just gone 7am anyway, so we don't cross each others ways very often. But I asked her to clear up the mess here first today. Guess the wall might need some paint though", he shrugs. "Ready to leave?", I nod.

Reaching our cars, Dean looks at me a little baffled while I get into my own car. "It's one way, shouldn't we be taking one car? I mean it's easier and better for the environment."

"Yes and what do you think the people will say if I get out of your car? Besides I wanted to go shopping later on, buy some new clothes for work if it's ok that I don't do over hours today?", Dean sighs defeated.

"Alright I'll see you at work then I guess. Oh and of course, feel free to go shopping.", Getting in his car, I can see he's not fond of the idea of us taking seperate cars. Then again, I have no idea what he expected, if we're keeping this secret we can't turn up at work together.

Due to me having a lot of pent-up work waiting for me, time seems to fly. Hospital definitely wasn't a good idea. What was quite cute, Gina had put flowers on my table and a box of chocolate. For a moment I thought Dean might have made sure she did it until she spoke to me.

"It's nice to see you're back and hopefully healthy again. I hate hospitals", she chuckles.

"I do too", I admit with a slight chuckle myself. No one knows the details, only that I had a concussion and spent my time in hospital.

"By the way, you're a lot nicer than Nadine", my mouth gapes open at her words.

"Uhm...thanks I guess. But Dean and I", she cuts me off.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I could tell on Dean's reaction last week after I told him about the gossip of Trish and the others. I know you want to keep it secret, that's ok. He's a good guy and deserves someone decent. Well and I like you I guess", she smiles.

She likes me? She doesn't really know me. Although I must say, even if her eyes linger on Dean far too often, she seems to be nice.

"I like you too I guess, you aren't like the others here", I chuckle.

"You mean like Trish? Hell no. She's just a snobbish bitch" and both of us start laughing.

Yea, I guess I do really like her and who could blame her for making googly eyes at Dean. I guess everyone would.

"Thank you for this wonderful surprise." She gives me a huge smile before leaving my office again.

I don't know how to feel about it, that she kinda knows by herself what's going on between Dean and me. But this was such a sweet gesture and when we've had to work together she was always very kind and professional. Guess she's really different from these other girls especially Trish.

By the time I'm about to finish work, Dean is still busy. He's been in all kinds of meetings all day. I know there was a huge meeting about this battery thing he was talking about. I think they are a little stuck with the engineering and how to go into bigger production. That's how much I caught on anyway.

Instead of just leaving I quickly text Dean to let him know I'm off shopping now. London has a huge variety on clothes and shops and even quite a few malls. As the variety within a mall is quite big without having to run down all kinds of streets. I decide to head down to a mall. With every dress or skirt I try on, I try to imagine what Dean would say and think. I know he likes red and blue on me a lot.

In the end, I end up buying eight complete new outfits. All classy and sexy at the same time. And most of all, good fitting and not some stuff which had been handed down to me. Passing a lingery store I decide to head into one of them too. Jeez I'm spending so much more money than I had planned, but I guess it's worth it. That definitely means I will have to draw out some cash I have from the races.

If only I didn't have to pay the half of that god damn apartment with Brad anymore. Well at least it won't be too long anymore.

Reaching my car, I have a message from Dean:

Hi Honey, I'm exhausted from all the meetings and last night ;) How about I order us some Indian take away? When will you be home? Missing you!!!

My heart nearly melts at these last two words and I re-read them a couple of times, before getting back into the car.

Kiara: Unhealthy food? Or better said carbohydrates for you at home, with nan bread and so on? You sure you can deal with that? I'm so in with it lmao

As soon as I've sent it off, I can see him coming online and replying.

Dean: Had enough workout, can deal with it ;) Tell me what you want and when you're coming back?

Kiara: Well at least now I know you're not stalking me or something. I'm on my way back now. I like anything just order what you feel like. Missing you too!

Dean: Drive safe!!!

I roll my eyes at his last words. Is he honestly telling me, a racing driver, to drive safe? I know my car better than anything else in the world.

Reaching home, it still feels damn weird to see this as my temporary home, I'm quite happy I remember the twelve-digit safety combination to Dean's apartment. As soon as the elevator doors open, I can see Dean rushing up to me.

He laughs a little taking a look at me, as my arms are packed with all my shopping bags. Immediately he takes them off me, sets them aside and wraps both his arms around me.

"I've missed you today. It was hard knowing you were only a few doors maximum away and I couldn't see you." His head dips down and he gives me a soft and bitter sweet kiss. If this is my welcome home each night, I'm looking forward to it.

"How did your meetings go?"

A groan escapes his mouth. "We both spend so much time at work. If it's not a day like today, we will be talking enough about our work. How about we try and leave most of it there?"

"Fine, but I'm allowed to ask how your day was? I mean we're not going into detail then, right?"

"It was very exhausting today. And I missed my favourite employee a lot. But I guess we'll be working a lot together this week again. I need you to also attend two meetings with me. But both will be here."

"Sounds like I'll have my favourite boss around me a little more this week. Talking of which, did you know Gina knows about us? She had prepared a welcome back gift for me today and told me she likes me more than Nadine."

"And what did you answer?"

"I tried to deny it, but she cut me off. She says she could see it on you last week. And that our secret's safe with her."

Dean chuckles. "Somehow, I guessed she caught on, but Gina is fine nothing to worry about. Even if she gets on my nerves sometimes", no need for explainig, I've seen her around him. Poor thing probably just needs a decent boyfriend.

The porter gives Dean a call, and Dean says to send him up. I know Dean has to enter the code on this side too, if someone is sent up.

Jeez I'm really hungry now. I take my jacket and heels off. Heels which have been killing me, their ok for the office but not for running around a mall. Before Dean turns to the elevator, his eyes rake up and down my body, and I can see how much he appreciates this dress on me.

"What the fuck are you doing here?", I hear Dean's surprised voice asking.

"We haven't seen you since my birthday, we thought we'd surprise you. We've bought some beers.......", he stops and as I turn around there are three fairly good-looking guys stood next to Dean, eyeing me up and down. All three of their jaws have dropped.

"Holy shit Dean, there's that hot bikini girl stood in your apartment, the one from the photos. You do know that, right?", says the one who was talking first.

"Obviously I do know, if she is stood here, right? Switch that god damn brain of yours on, how should she get in here otherwise."

"What the fuck? I thought you didn't know her?", that guy is talking as if his dream has just come true.

Great so now I'm known as the bikini girl, with what seems to be Dean's friends.

"Jesus, red is definitely your color mysterious girl. I'm Tyler by the way."

He stretches his hand out to me and I take it a little awkwardly. "I'm Kiara."

In this moment the porter gives another ring. "And it's food delivery?.....Ok, send him up."

"Next time we're waiting for food I'll ask first who's really waiting there", Dean mutters.

Tyler addresses again to me. "Kiara, jeez I never thought I'd see you in live. You're my dream girl."

Ewwww, nah stop this shit. Dean looks more than pissed by these words, but before he loses it, I answer instead. "Well Tyler, depends on what kind of dreams you like. Because for most guys I'm a nightmare. So think twice if you really want to keep dreaming about me. Believe me I like to put men through hell and I do it on a daily basis."

I see the smirk on Dean's face, he likes me being feisty. That's if it's not pissing him off.

"You can put me through whatever you want, looking like that. Damn you even cover the background of my phone and now you're right here."

"Say what?", Dean asks angrily. "Give me that shit phone!"

"What's your problem mate? You know we all have seen those pics and you idiot wouldn't give us any deeds", this Tyler guy tries to defend himself.

"Perhaps because it's none of your god damn business. Now give me that shit phone. I don't want you jerking off to my girlfriend."

Everything falls silent, the other two guys who had just been snickering in the background, stare at Dean and then me in utterly silence too. An uneasy look takes over Dean's face, once he realizes what he has just said. His eyes dart up to me, worry evident on his face.

"Your girlfriend?", Tyler is the first one to break the silence.

Dean's eyes still lingering on me and I give him a small nod, letting him know it's ok. They're his friends and he shouldn't have to keep things secret from his friends. Especially not if they're possibly his best friends, which I presume right now from their behaviour.

"Yes, my girlfriend", Dean confirms now walking over to me and snaking his arm around my waist. Not just to feel me close, but to make things clear.

"Jeez, you lucky bastard. When did this happen? And why the fuck wouldn't you tell me, what kind of best friend are you?"

I put my hand on Dean's chest, as I don't want him to feel awkward in front of his friends. "I'm sorry, I guess that's my fault not Dean's. I asked him not to tell anyone. It's quite fresh and as I work for Dean I didn't want people to think wrong about me."

"So that's why you were in Dubai with him? Are you his new secretary or something?"

For a moment I feel offended until I realize it's not fair to think low of that job, thinking about sweet Gina who really does a good job.

"No, she's far from that. She's my creative director and an amazing one, I should add", Dean looks down at me with a soft smile full of pride.

"Shit, so hot as fuck and brains. You're so doomed mate. But I'm sure not gonna judge ya for it. Only one question, how the fuck are you even able to work? I mean your blood must be spending more time in your dick than in your brain, with her around you at work."

Dean punches his friends shoulder in a playful way. "You have no idea", he chuckles and the look Dean gives me, sends sweet shivers running down my spine.

The other two guys introduce themselves as Nick and Chris, both eyeing me from head to toe until Dean growls.

While Dean and I eat, the other three are already using Dean's PlayStation playing some racing game.

"Jeez that's so lame", I say at some point.

Nick looks up at me. "Typical girl, no idea of cars and racing."

Dean chuckles and nearly chokes on his chicken madras, while I start getting a little pissed. "Typical jerk, judging just because I'm a girl. Just because you have a dick, doesn't mean you know shit about cars or races. And that on your game there, is lame and nothing to reality."

"So you're telling me you know more about cars and races than I do?", he laughs and Dean next to me is nearly hunching over in laughter.

"Watch it mate, you can't win with this one", Dean points at me.

Well Nick won't believe a single word and starts talking about cars, simple cars and races. And a real encounter between the two of us breaks loose making everyone around us chuckle and listen in.

"Ya know, you would be one of those idiots to either blast your valves while using NOS or using it way too early."

"Uhhhh someone has watched Fast and the Furious", he teases me.

"Try me, you cunt. What car do you drive? Want a race right now?", yes I'm in a stupid rage right now. But it annoys the fuck out of me, how guys always think they know best. I mean in a usual race, it's for my advantage but this isn't a race and I'm royally pissed.

"Calm down Kar, he would lose within a blink of an eye against you", Dean calms me down.

"You're so pussy whipped", Nick cuts in. "Not that I could blame ya, but honestly as if", he laughs.

"You're just digging your own grave man", Dean says with certainty causing the other two to give me a curious look.

"You know Alex, don't you?", Chris now interfers, causing my jaw to drop. "You won't remember but I've been in two of those races a couple of months ago. Jeez, I lost a lot of money to the sexiest driver I have ever seen. I knew, I remembered your face from somewhere else than those photos. I just couldn't put a finger on it. Have fun Nick", he chuckles while leaning back.

Damn I don't know if I like the idea of Dean's friends knowing this about me. At least Chris can't rat on me if he's been in it before himself. Nick now looks up at me in disbelief.

"Holy shit, Dean you hit the jackpott. Damn sexy, clever, and a ruthless racer? A dream come true, you motherfucker", Tyler whistles lowley.

"Not to mention a thickhead, like really damn stubborn which drives you insane", Dean adds but kisses me.

The rest of the evening we spend drinking and simply having fun. Dean's friends are funny, even if they honestly fuel any cliche about a guys way of thinking about girls. Guess I've proven them wrong in a few points.

Before they leave, Tyler turns to Dean. "Hold on to this one. She's nothing like that bitch you had. She's a keeper." The second person refering like that today about Nadine makes me smile.

We say our goodbyes and all three guys tell me how pleased they were to meet me. Indeed I had a lot of fun too, especially after the first awkwardness had disappeared.

Once everyone is gone, Dean turns to me and gently strokes one of my hair strandes behind my ear. "I want the world to know, Kar."

I look up at him a little confused. What does he mean? "I don't want you to be something like my dirty little secret. You know what I feel for you and I know you feel the same way. I know you're afraid about what people may think. But they already think it anyway. And I don't want to hide it anymore. You're my girl and I want the world to know."

I gulp heavy, Dean's soft eyes are pleading with me. Thinking about it, Mr Arlington, Brad, Sean, Gina and Dean's three friends know it anyway. Half the company has their suspicions. In hospital they caught on. My parents know. I guess it's just a matter of time until others know it anyway.

Especially if the paparazzi should catch on, me coming out of here. I guess it's better we make it official by ourselves.

"Ok, what do you have in mind?", I ask Dean and give him a swift kiss.

A/N: Well first encounters with the friends and the decision to go official. Things are changing.

And what did you think about the morning? Are you an early riser or an night owl?
