Opening my fifth tub of chocolate ice cream, I wipe my fresh tears that has flown down my cheeks as Rachel and Ross break-up (F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans will get how heartbreaking it was!).

Currently, I'm settled in my bed of my hotel room in California.

This is the time of the year when businessmen from all over the world come together in the name of The National Business Gala. Charities, mergers, promotions and some common activities that take place in this Gala and this year it is being organized in California.

Well, according to me, this is just a waste of time and money but it does give a good impression of the company name to the public.

I've been attending this function for the past four years. Every year I insist Zack to come with me and every year he declines.

"I don't like media attention. I'm good working behind you. You go conquer the world, I'll be your pillar, hidden but fundamental.", he says every single time.

The Gala is tomorrow that explains why I'm having a F.R.I.E.N.D.S marathon now.

I was about to start the next episode when a knock interrupted me.

Groaning, I put the ice cream tub on the bedside table and threw off the blanket.

Moving my hands through my hair, I quickly check myself in the mirror before opening the door.

Well you can't open you hotel door in your morning look when you're The Rachel Watson now, can you?

"Morning Sunshine!"

There is only one guy who can make me smile just by greeting me in the most normal way.

"When did you come back?", I asked.

He'd been in Italy for the past two weeks for some business issues.
But unlike the last time when he went away after kissing me for the first time, this time we contacted each other threw texts, calls and video calls.

"Just an hour ago. Showered and rushed to you.", he answered, walking inside after closing the door.

"Aww, missed me so much?", I teased.

"Yeah Sunshine, I missed you a lot.", he said with seriousness in his eyes.

Coming close, he put his palm on my face and caressed my cheeks.

His eyes were filled with longing, care and affection as he looked at me as if he was reading my soul.

"Hey, have you been crying?", he suddenly asked.

"Umm, yeah."

His expressions panicked and he raised his other hand too to cup my face,"Why? Are you hurt? Di-"

"Shhh, calm down. I was just watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S."

He raised an eyebrow,"But I thought it was a rom-com?"
