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.

"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.

And he was going to walk off and leave his towel forlorn and alone on the chair wasn't he? Poor towel.

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.

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 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.

"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.

Date: 2012-10-05 02:35 pm (UTC)"I'm glad you're stayin' here. An' I'm glad y'think I'm charmin'."
Smiling to himself, he bends to kiss her forehead, then resettles; letting out a slow, happy sigh.
