"Um...I thought you said 'talk'?" I state nervously.

"We are but I'm gonna get comfortable. You might as well too, you've lost your room anyway."

"Why do you say that?"

"Cuz the folks in your room didn't look like they were leaving anytime soon. And that group has been known to party for days."

"So...What do you suggest I do with myself then?"

"Well...(blushes)You could just stand there all night or you could take your coat and shoes off and sit your fine ass down."

"Right," I slip off my shoes and take my coat off, throwing it on a nearby chair. Then I jump on the bed and sprawl out.

JC walks out of the bathroom with a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth, "Ooh an oose a athoom in minua."

"What?" I smile and stand back up.

He goes back in and returns without the toothbrush, "I said, you can use the bathroom in a minute." He disappears back into the bathroom. Ten minutes later he comes out. "All yours. There's an extra toothbrush on the counter. Hope you don't mind Crest?"

"Nope. Not at all, thanks."

"For what?"

"Everything. Being so understanding and shit."

"Man...I'm just trying to repay what you did for me a few weeks ago."

"I didn't do anything except let you sleep in my bed. And to be honest, I really didn't mind it all that much and wouldn't mind it happening again..."

JC moves closer to me and I stand up again, "Neither would I. Now go in there, brush and floss and get ready for bed. I know you've go to ready to crash."

"Yeah...I am."

"Good. So am I."

Several minutes later I come out of the bathroom and smile. JC is laying in the bed with the comforter up to his waist and his gorgeous chest exposed. He has a notebook in his lap, pen in hand and is staring out the patio door humming a tune I'm certain I hadn't heard before.

"What ya thinking about?"

He jumps and then smiles, "Sorry, (closes notebook) just working on something."

"Sounded pretty good to me. Think I could hear the whole thing sometime?"

"Sure, but not now." He puts the notebook and pen on the nightstand. "Sleep first. We're all free tomorrow so..."

"So maybe we can spend some quality time together?" I take my shirt and pants off and climb in bed.

JC turns the light off. I curl into his side, throw an arm over his stomach and put my head on his shoulder.

"Night JC."

"Night Mark."
