Walking Her to Her Door (AJ and Ellie)

"Exactly...Vin is like the ultimate man's man..and Hugh Jackman...he's a straight guy in musical theater...can't go wrong." he smirked.

"Those are two of the best choices out there." she nods in agreement.

"Just make sure you leave some room in there for me. I don't want you forgetting my cuteness." she winked.

"How could I forget? But if one of them said to ditch you, I would...no offense...but you would too and you know it." he laughed. If he was talking liek this with another girl they would already be freaking out and wondering about his sexuality and would want to talk about something else.

"Okay, I would but, I would sneak you in a suitcase." she grinned.

He laughed. "I'm flexible...I'm not that flexible."

"Well I'll find some way." she said thinking about it.

He smiled. "Well I'm glad you would do that for me."

He broke her out of her thoughts and she smiles as well.

"Oh well I'm happy to do it."

He kissed her temple as they continued watching the movie.

She felt butterflies in her stomach as she sighs in contentment and continued to watch the movie as well.

He lightly strokes her hair absently as he kept his attention on both her and the movie, but it was more and more starting to shift to her.

Ellie felt her eyelids grow heavy as AJ stroked her hair. She did have a long day like AJ, but she was not going to fall asleep on him.

"I'm really glad you're here." she said softly.

"Me too." he said softly, feeling her body really start to relax. He continued to gently stroke her hair and her back.

She nodded and rested her head on his chest as she attempted to finish the movie, but found it being a bit difficult.

"Did you want to go to sleep? I can head back to my room." he told her softly.

"Can you just stay with me until I fall asleep?" she whispered.

"Sure..." he said softly as he kept holding her.

"Okay good." she smiled as she intwined their fingers together.

She looks up at him shyly.

"It's easier for me to fall asleep this way."

"Whatever you need to do." he smiled reassuringly as he continued to hold her and he started to get sleepy himself.

She nods as she closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep.

About a minute later, he shut his eyes and fell asleep as well.

*The Next Morning*

Ellie's eyes fluttered open and she squinted her eyes a bit as the sun was up. To her surprise, she actually had a good night's rest and she felt...alive.

She looked over and saw AJ there, their fingers still laced together and she smiled. She thought that maybe he had left after she fell asleep, but he must have dozed off himself. Ellie moved their hands over to her and she kissed the back of his hand softly as she sighed and closed her eyes again, enjoying the moment.

AJ was a very deep sleeper so he didn't feel her move or kiss the back of his hand. He simply shifted a bit so now he was laying down fully and instinctively pulled Ellie close, holding her as he slept on.

She smiles as she felt herself being pulled in closer and opens her eyes as she adjusted her head in the crook of his neck. Softly, she kissed his cheek.

He stirred a bit more but still slept on as she kissed his cheek.
