"Shut up, will you?" Skye screeches, banging the alarm clock with the palm of her hand. She squints through her sleepy eyes and sees that it is 8:00. Four hours of sleep was definitely NOT enough. The alarm clock continues its persistent ringing. Jax sits up on his knees, reaches past Skye and hurls the clock across the room. It smashes against the wall with a final high-pitched buzz. The sudden silence reverberates throughout the room. Skye inhales sharply, Jax still sitting up, his arms outstretched towards the nighttable where the clock had been. Jaxs gentle laugh breaks the silence as he lays back down. As Skye shuts her eyes against the sleep overtaking her body, she is slightly aware of Jax gently taking her in his arms. Almost unaware of her actions, she rests her head on his shoulder as she drifts back to sleep. Exhausted himself, Jax closes his eyes as his head rests gently on top of Skyes.

When Skye wakes again, the clouds from before have opened up and it is pouring. If it werent for the fact that she was still wrapped in Jaxs arms, she would have been highly annoyed. Instead, she is amazed that just the simple fact of being with Jax is enough to make her feel as though she is on cloud nine. He stirs beside her and she twists around to face him, their faces no more than two inches apart. Breathing deeply, neither move. The connection is so intense, so deep, so emotional and moving, that neither can break away. After what seems a lifetime, Jax finally moves a tad closer to kiss Skye. As his lips meet hers, Skye cant help but become dizzy with emotion, passion, and love. Jax always has this effect on her. Finally, some time later, the two finally get out of bed. Walking out of the room, Jax stops to pick up the clock and chuckles at its new shape.

"Guess we need a new clock," he says innocently. She giggles, looking over at him.

"Guess so," she agrees. She laughs as Jax tosses the clock in the trash can, then comes back over to her.

"Lets go out to eat," he suggests. "You still have two hours before your meeting." She nods, walking over to the closet as Jax leaves the room. The rain pounds on the walls. Skye decides to go casual, dressing in soft black pants, a lavendar tank top and a black zip-up sweatshirt. Pulling her hair back and slipping on her sneakers, Skye hurries out of the room. Jax is dressed in jeans and a bright blue sweatshirt. His eyes widen as Skye walks in and he looks at her. He cant comprehend how gorgeous she is.

"Ready to go?" she asks lightly, giving him a smile. He nods, grabbing his car keys and a jacket. He opens the door for her and they walk towards the elevator, the whole day in front of them
