7:00.

Ugh. I mentally sigh as I rub my eyes to wake me up. Our plane leaves at 8:30 but being the intern...I'm in charge of coffee/Tea runs. I love this job. I love this job. I remind myself as I slip on a casual dress and apply eyeliner.

"This is as good as it's gonna get." I say to myself in the mirror. I grab my luggage and my backpack full of my plane clothes and head downstairs. I check out of my room. I make my way to the black SUV that appears to be just washed based off of its shininess. I hand the beefy guard my luggage as I hop in the back.

"Where to?" The driver asks too nicely for this early.

"The nearest coffee shop I guess." I reply groggily. The bald headed man nods his head as we drive off.

I make my way to Justin's room. Being an Intern also means you're in charge of waking up the prime minister. So basically don't screw it up or you're in deep shit. I knock on Justin's door. I hear his footsteps towards the door. I get his tea ready as he opens the door. The white hotel door swings open and to my surprise Justin is shirtless.

"Oh, I-um-I'm sorry!" I take a mental picture before I glance away trying not to seem to awkward.

"Oh no my bad! Here, give me a second." Justin replies, clearly still majority asleep. Not 5 seconds later does he come out in a shirt.

"Here's your tea. I figured you would want something caffeinated?" I laugh a little bit as Justin nods in agreement.

"Thank you, Eliza." Justin thanks me as I say goodbye and make my way back to the car. Well, my morning wasn't that bad. I saw Justin Trudeau shirtless so it could've been worse.

I end up sleeping 4 hours on the plane. Justin apparently has a conference call, so I'm very bored right now. I decide to watch a romantic movie because I'm literally all by myself. Justin and Telford are in the other room on the call. WHAT MOVIE THOUGH? I scan through the selection.

"The Notebook, Crazy Stupid Love, Safe Haven, Brooklyn..." I mutter to myself as I read over the titles. As any lonely girl would do, I decide to watch The Notebook. This is a terrible decision. As I put it in the DVD player I curl up on the couch with a blanket. I secretly hope no one comes out of the meeting because watching a Nicolas Sparks movie with people around is just a terrible idea.

"So I think that went well!" A very articulated, proper voice says in the distance. Are you for real right now? I turn around and am met with a nice smile from Justin. "So how was the four hour nap?"

"It was nice, but I wanted to have some fun so..." I joke around. I try to not acknowledge the movie not wanting anyone to ask what it is.

"Ah, so what did you decide on this time?" Justin plops down beside me on the couch.

"Ahh,noo!" I "fake" freak out.

"What?" Justin laughs and puts his hands up in defense.

"This is such an embarrassing movie to watch honestly. I always end up crying. It's The Notebook." I blush. Why is this such a big deal?

          

"Well, I would love to embarrass you. I think I'll stay." Justin crosses his arms and smirks as me. Every muscle is defined as his white shirt clings to his arm.

In the end, Justin was tearing up too, which only lead to mockery from me.

"I was tearing up because I'm human and have a heart!" Justin defends himself. "How did you not cry?"

"I've seen it too many times honestly." I laugh a little bit. Seeing Justin tear up was honestly the cutest thing ever. Huge eyes couldn't hide tears at all. "I'll let you get away with it this time." I decide to let him off.

"Oh, so we'll be watching this again?" Justin gives me a smug look before leaning towards me.

I blush and begun to feel very flustered, "Well, I mean, I guess. I d-don't know. I figured we'd be on a plane again." I feel the heat crawl into my pale cheeks, giving it nowhere to hide. Justin sees I'm thrown off by this and moves closer. We all know what a close talker Justin is.

"Eliza, I was messing with you. Of course we're gonna watch movies again! Do you really think I can sit in silence on a plane for hours a time?!" Justin laughs as I begin to calm down.

"Fuc-" before I finish the sentence Justin raises his eyebrows. "-nny."

"Good save." Justin winks before hopping off the couch. "I'm gonna grab some popcorn. You want anything?"

"I would love some popcorn." I smile back. Jesus Christ, I almost blew it. I think to myself as he heads out. I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding.

"So tomorrow back in the office!" Telford informs Justin and I as we get off the plane.

"The office is so boring..." I THINK I say in my mind but apparently it was out loud.

"Excuse me, Norwell?" Telford looks sternly at me. Justin holds back a laugh.

"Nothing. I was just thinking out loud." I look around and smile awkwardly.

"Mhm, you have coffee duty tomorrow. Don't forget." Telford orders me as she walks off leaving Justin and I alone.

"I didn't mean that!" I defend myself knowing Justin has the full power to rid me of my internship.

"I know, I know. Honestly I would prefer to work outside in the open air but the office is what it has to be." Justin agrees and grabs his luggage. A car pulls up for him and out jumps his kids and wife. His face lights up immiditely.

"Daddy!" they all shout and hug him. I feel my heart melt as I watch him kiss everyone of his kids. Then I see as he almost jumps into his wife's arms. A part of me is disappointed he loves them so much. I begin to walk home.

"Hey, Eliza!" Justin calls, I instantly spin around and smile. "Be safe on the way home!"
I nod and wave good bye.

When I get home I practically fall onto my bed and crash. I didn't realize how exhausted I was.

"Hey babe!" A wavy brunette calls from the door. I peek around the kitchen and see Justin walking in.

"Hey!" I drop what I was doing and sprint to him and wrap him up in a giant hug. I kiss him hardly, missing the taste of his lips.
