She walked down the stairs in a tank top and pair of pajama bottoms.
  "See, now if I fall asleep I'll be comfortable." She spun around and he noticed the tattoo on her lower back.
  "I've never seen that before." He stood and walked over to her to get a closer look.
  "I thought you knew me better than I knew myself." She started the movie when they had sat down.
  "Well, I knew you'd fall asleep."
  "Experience." She laid her head on his chest.
  "Yeah guess so." He brushed a strand of hair from her face. He paid more attention to her than the movie, and thirty minutes into the movie he noticed her start to fall asleep. "Hey come on, let's get you to bed."
  "Huh?" She opened her eyes. "Ok." She answered once the words had registered.
  "Up, sleepy head." He ordered playfully. He walked her to her bedroom door. "Good night." He turned to walk to his assigned guest room.
  "Can you take a hint?" He turned to see her leaning against the wall.
  "Yeah, why?" He tried to read her eyes.
  "Then why haven't you kissed me?" She kept a straight face.
  "Uumm, guess I didn't get that hint." He chuckled nervously.
  "Well?" She raised her eyebrows. When he didn't move she pulled him toward her and kissed him. When she released him he licked his lips.
  "Wow." He said just above a whisper.
  "See you in the morning." She tried to turn and leave but he kept his hold on her.
  "My turn." He leaned in and kissed her softly at first then increased the force slowly. "Goodnight." He whispered before brushing his lips across hers.
  "Sweet dreams." She slipped into her room. She laid restless in her bed for half an hour before deciding to go crawl into bed with Justin. She quietly made her way down the hall and to his door. She silently turned the knob and opened the door, trying not to wake him. She felt her way to the bed and slid under the covers.
  "Hey, agent curly." He put his arms around her and pulled her close.
  "Your still awake, too?" She snuggled against him.
  "Yeah, I was debating going to your room, didn't want to seem forward." He kissed her cheek lightly.
  "I wouldn't have minded." She put her hand on his upper arm. "You know how good it feels to be held?" He could here the pleasure in her voice.
  "It's been too long?" She nodded her head. "You won't have to worry about that as long as I'm around."
  "I hope not. I have bigger fish to fry, if you know what I mean."
  "Like what?" He ran a hand along her back.
  "Jacob's parents, the shop, getting back to school, the usual." She tried to smile.
  "Don't worry about it, it'll all be taken care of."
  "Yeah, thanks."
  "For what?"
  "Everything." She moved her hand to his side.
  "Your welcome." He lightly kissed her forehead then nuzzled his head into her neck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  "Come on." She pulled at his hand.
  "Michelle, it is eight in the morning, we went to bed at like three in the morning." He whined.
  "Ok, you lay here all day. I am going to make breakfast." She stood and took a few steps to give him time to change his mind.
  "Ok, I'm coming, AC." He watched her head quirk to the side.
  "AC? Like air conditioner?" Her confusion rang in every word.
  "Agent curly." He put an arm around her waist.
  "You are as weird as they come." She began the walk to the kitchen.
  "You haven't met Joey yet." He slowed to let her walk down the steps first.
  "How about eggs and bacon?"
  "Sounds good."
  "You'll have to workout with me, you ever played tennis?"
  "Uuum," he tried to think of a way to get out of it. "How about a swim instead?"
  "Alright."
  "Well then, I am going to run home."
  "Ok, but just get your clothes. I'll have breakfast ready, you can shower here." She ordered before kissing him good bye.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  "That was great." He leaned over to plant a kiss on her cheek.
  "Thank you." She lifted herself from her chair while pulling the dishes from the table.
  "I am going to get my suit on, join me?" He playfully lifted his eyebrows.
  "I'll join you for the walk upstairs." She set her arm inside of his.
  "You ready?" He met her in the hallway.
  "Yeah." She fixed the towel she had wrapped around herself.
  "Well then we should get going." He wrapped an arm around her waist to lead her downstairs.
  "Come on, you can't chicken out now, just jump in." She had dove into the pool and surfaced to realize he was still standing on the edge. Her saturated curls seemed so inviting to him and he felt he had to join her, if only to feel them against himself. He threw him self into the pool and emerged inches from her face.
  "Hi." A child like smile took his lips, for he had reached her.
  "You look like a child that just jumped from the high dive for the first time." She submerged herself head first then swam underwater to the deep end. When Justin realized her course he followed.
  "You can't get away from me that easily." He cornered her against the wall.
  "Who said I was trying?" She ran her tongue across the bottom of her teeth.
  "You are such a tease." He inched closer to her.
  "No, I am a flirt." He couldn't wait for her to finish, he had to feel her lips against his. He had waited so long for the first kiss, he would never miss an opportunity to get another.
  "Ahem." Angie tried to part them with noise, when she failed she walked to the edge of the pool and gently tapped Michelle on the shoulder.
  "Oh, hi." Michelle tried to stop the rush of red on the way to her cheeks, but trying made it worse.
  "So I see you waisted no time." Angie directed to Justin.
  "No." Michelle answered with no hesitation. "Who knows how long this boy would be single." She ran a hand across his shoulder.
  "Good morning, Lewis." He pulled his eyes from her to avoid pulling her into a kiss infront of the others.
  "Good morning, call me Lewie, I may not answer to Lewis anymore."
  "Mind if we join you?" Angie pulled her shirt over her head to reveal her swimsuit.
  "I guess not, how'd you know we were swimming?" Michelle retreated from Justin's hold.
  "We saw you in the hallway." Lewis hopped into the pool.
