noteasytobepinkClarice was a heavy sleeper, when she wasn't having nightmares. It came of never knowing when she'd get a good night's sleep again. Still, she was not a still sleeper. That meant she rolled and twisted some in the night; her frozen peas slipping down between herself and Bill some time around three in the morining.
And well, she shifted where her head was resting too. Next to his on the pillow, his shoulde,r his chest. It was probably past dawn when she settled with her head on his belly, still asleep.

"Takin' advantage? I think you've been treatin' me pretty well." Which is why he'd made the offer. He wanted to know what she wanted.
"If the decision is comin' t'me, though, I'm votin' for that nap." Naked nap, and maybe they could get up to things in a bed, instead of every where else in the house.

"Completely taking advantage of your easy going nature," she laughed and and nipped his knee. "Hmmm, nap sounds good though. It involves moving though doesn't it?"

Date: 2012-10-03 03:15 am (UTC)Yeah, she actually probably could.
"If movin' is that hard I could carry you," he offered and grinned at her.

Date: 2012-10-03 03:33 am (UTC)"Ohhh, you'd carry me to bed?" She grinned and held her arms up to him despite the fact that he hadn't stood up yet. "I'd love that."
no subject
Date: 2012-10-03 03:52 am (UTC)"'Course I would." And to prove it, he bent over to take her arms, and pulled her up into his lap. What? It was halfway to standing, and then the carrying would come.

Date: 2012-10-03 04:33 am (UTC)Ducking his head a bit at the nip, he leaned in and kissed her.
"Well, in that case, let me go ahead with the chivalry."
And with that, he put both arms under her, pulled her against his chest and stood up; heading for his bedroom.

Date: 2012-10-03 04:47 am (UTC)The moment he stood up she grinned and draped her arms over his shoulders, all the better to play with his hair and continue stealing kisses. "What would you have done if I didn't say that then? Would I still get chivalry?"
And he was going to walk off and leave his towel forlorn and alone on the chair wasn't he? Poor towel.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-03 02:59 pm (UTC)"You would've, I just would've called it somethin' different."
He stole his own kiss, and took them down the hallway.
The towel would just have to wait to be picked up like the dishes.
When he reached the bed, he pushed the rumpled blankets aside and laid her down.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-04 12:37 am (UTC)"Oh, not chivalry, but chivalry in disguise?" she chuckled and nibbled his ear before he shuffled blankets around. When she was set down she wiggled out of her own towel and tossed it aside, then scooted over to make room for Bill. "I could deal with chivalry in disguise I guess."

Date: 2012-10-04 02:36 am (UTC)"I just wanted t'be sure you weren't gonna laugh," he admitted, "You do like pokin' fun at me."

Date: 2012-10-04 04:19 am (UTC)There's a naked woman in his bed, so he's going to go ahead and put his arm around her and pull her closer.

Date: 2012-10-04 10:44 pm (UTC)"Nah, it's nothin'," he replies quietly. "I was just gonna say, I know I sometimes let my small town show. Been others who've held that against me, so I don't mind the teasin' from you."
It's a much nicer reaction, especially because he knows she means it all in a good way.

Date: 2012-10-05 02:47 am (UTC)"You ain't been mean t'me once, even when you had the right to be." Like the several occasions he got himself falling down drunk.
"I ain't really afraid of you, y'know. I mean, I'm pretty sure you could kick my ass, but it don't seem like you'd hurt me." Which was a big change from the last woman he'd fallen for.

Smiling to himself, he bends to kiss her forehead, then resettles; letting out a slow, happy sigh.
