Christmas Cabin (AJ and Ellie)

She wiped her tears away and shook her head, even though he couldn't see it.

"Just go away AJ." she sighed.

"No...I'm not going away...so if you're not coming out, I'm gonna stay right here." he said sitting in front of the door.

Ellie smiled to herself a bit, amused at how determined he was, but she went back to her frown again.

"Well then fine, you'll be there for a long time."

"It's fine." he said as he went and grabbed a pillow from the couch and laid down in front of the door.

She shrugged.

"Okay, well you just have fun there."

"I will...you too!" he chuckled. "Must be cold in that lingerie in there."

She was shivering a bit.

"Uh no. I'll be just fine. Have fun laying on the hardwood floor." she smirks.

"I will! It'll be good for my back~!" he said, not planning to give up.

"Then you'll be very comfortable." she said, not planning on giving up either.

"Alright...good night, beautiful." he said as he stretched out and relaxed on the floor.

"Beautiful, right." she said shaking her head as she laid on the floor as well.

Throughout the night, it got really cold. He curled up into a little ball outside of the door. He wasn't going to leave her alone.

After being awake the whole time and freezing her ass off, she decided that she would at least have to get a blanket.

Quietly, she opened the door and immediately, her heart broke and she felt like such a bitch when she saw AJ curled up into a ball. Feeling bad, she cursed herself and shook him to wake up.

"AJ..." she whispered.

His muscles were all numb and stiff. "Huh?" he said, starting to wake up.

"Go to sleep on the bed."

"Only if...you are..." he said, his joints crackign as he stretched out. "You must be freezing..." he said worriedly as he got up and rubbed her arms gently.

"I-I'm fine." she said giving him a small smile.

"You're probably hurting right now from being on this floor."

"I'm fine." he assured her.

"Wanna head up to the bedroom? We can talk." he said softly, taking her hand. "And then maybe we could at least have been warm and comfortable...instead of so stubborn..."

"I was only a little stubborn." she tells him.

"Fine, we can go and talk since obviously you need to get comfortable." she says softly.

"Not just that...I don't want you to get sick from catching a cold." he said sincerely.

She felt her guard slipping and she couldn't help but let out a smile at how concerned he was for her health.

"Alright, fine." she said finally giving in.

He led her up to the bedroom and picked her up, putting her in bed. "So...should I get a pillow and then sleep on the couch? I mean...if you're still mad at me."

She sighed.

"No. We might as well talk about this since we're both awake now." she said playing with her fingers.

"So why won't you sleep with me?" she asked.

"Am I not good enough?"

"Oh...Ellie, no...nothing like that." he said softly, sitting next to her on the bed.

"I just...I didn't want to rush it with you. I've rushed into bed with other girls and it's always ended up in disaster." he said softly. "I really care about you and I don't want it to end up that way." he told her, taking her hand.

"I'm sorry if it came off as me not being attracted to you...I really am...do you know how hard it was not to be turned on by you? You're one of the sexiest women I've ever known."

She blushed as she laced their fingers together.

"Well then I guess I'm sorry for trying to get you to sleep with me. I just, I really wanted to have an amazing night with you and it's been a really long time since I've been intimate with anyone. I guess I just wanted us to finally be together and let you be the only person to touch me after I broke up with my ex." she shrugs.

"Maybe I'm just really sexually frustrated." she says letting out a chuckle.
