A cell phone rang loudly in Jinks's ear. He rolled over to the side of his bed, and grabbed the phone, glancing at the clock before he opened it.
"Hello?" He looked at the caller id, Claudia's name shined out in the darkness.
"Hey Jinks." He rolled his eyes before slumping back down against his bed.
"What do you want Claude? It's 6 am here." She had been working on new safety measures at Global Dynamics for the last couple months, and had gone for the weekend to yell at someone for something not working. That was all he could grasp from her Artie like grumblings.
"Yeah dude I know it's like 5 here. So I think I did something not really smart." Steve's hand moved to cover his eyes from the light peeking through between the floor and the curtain.
"What did you do?" He heard a muffled noise like she was holding it with her shoulder and then a door shut in the background.
"Ok so you know how I do that awkward thing where if something really good happens or like a crisis has been avoided and I kiss whoever kind of happens to be around that I'm attracted to, but they don't usually know that's what happened I just end up making out with them?" Steve groaned.
"Oh my god what did you do?" She was silent for a couple seconds, before responding with extreme speed.
"Ok so I was yelling at Parrish because his stupid force field thing wasn't working at the warehouse and then we ended up fighting and then there was this whole big Eureka thing I can't tell about because of a waiver and we almost died, but ya know I've never almost died and averted a crisis before with someone I kind of hate and so then it had like an amplified affect and I kind of accidently slept with Parrish." Jink's eyes widen as he pushes himself up into a sitting position.
"Claudia, what…how does that even happen? I mean other than in TV Shows?" She groaned.
"I don't know and anyways I called you when I was leaving his house and now I'm walking around at 5 something in the morning and I'm kind of panicking, because we still didn't fix the original problem, and so I'm going to have to talk with him at some point and you never know if you're getting kind of sweet Parrish or dick Parrish so I'm not sure how it will be."
"You are so glad I'm not Pete and will refrain from making the joke you completely just set up. Also you just left you didn't talk to him?" She groaned louder.
"God Jinks I don't have the ability to easily communicate with people normally, it is ten times harder when you're naked in someone else's bed." Jinks shook his head.
"You know what you're going to do? You're going to use the next half hour to figure out what you're going to say and then you're going to find him and talk to him. And you better do this because you woke me up at 6 on my day off. That is my advice. Go. Goodbye Claude." He hung up the phone and tossed it on his night stand before slumping down and attempting to go back to sleep.
