"Asia."

"Hmm?" I chew my lip as I stand next to the bed. Damn Dr. Hollister! This is so freaking awkward.

"Get in here."

"Are you naked?"

"I can be."

"Talon! No."

"I have boxers on. Jesus, what’s wrong with you?"

"This is just uncomfortable."

He sighs. "You gotta get over it. I'm not gonna try to bone ya, okay? I'm too tired. I'm exhausted from my first movie date."

I slowly crawl into the bed next to him and pull the sheet up over my chest. "Wow, when you say it so romantic like that, I can barely wait 'til it happens."

He rolls over onto his side so he's facing me. "I'm gonna rock your world someday soon, baby. Don't worry."

"Like a puppy?"

"You'll never let that go, will you?"

"Probably not."

"I didn't say it to hurt you. It just came out. And I meant it as in, you're really cute."

"That's really not helping me feel better."

Suddenly he bolts up. "Did you feel that?" he whispers loudly.

"What?"

"Something jumped on the bed. Is that fucking cat on my bed?"

I sit up too, and there's Princess Pixie, curled up at the foot of the bed.
