Late Nights

Jay enjoys late nights in the brownstone. The air is still and quiet, allowing him to maximize his productivity. Fighting a certain god of time doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for school work, so late nights, early mornings, and large amounts of caffeine quickly became a routine. A part of him really doesn't mind it; Herry's snoring is soothing in a way, like the ticking of a clock. On tonight's agenda is a physics assignment that he should get started on. Jay enjoys physics, one of his best subjects really. The sounds of light footsteps draw his attention, more specifically Theresa's footsteps. The creaking of his door quickly follows.

His half asleep girlfriend steps into the dim light of his room. Even with oversized sweat pants and t-shirt, hair sticking every which way there is something oddly alluring about her.

"You're still up?'', she asks running a hand through her hair. "It's 2:30".

Jay chuckles, reaching a hand out towards her, "This assignment won't do itself''.

"That assignment isn't due for another week", Theresa states curling up on his lap.

"Hmmm maybe but it's always good to get a head start on these things". Assignment put to the side he rests his head on the top of hers. "Did you have another nightmare?" Jay asks softly. Theresa's nightmares had become a bit of a common occurrence ever since the incident on the beach, which resulted in her spending many nights in Jay's bed.

"Ya, but I can't remember much of it", Theresa murmured tilting her head up to kiss his jaw line. "Come to bed with me".

"I should probably work on this assignment more, oh…", Jay sighed as Theresa shifted to kiss his neck. As wonderful as she was Theresa had a bad habit of being his main distraction.

"But I miss you and we haven't slept together for a couple nights", she said as she placed her lips on his. With that Jay felt his resolve starting to crumble. He was tired and the way Theresa was pressing up against him was very tempting. He always did sleep better with her anyways, the extra body heat relaxed his tense muscles

As she pulled away the buildup of exhaustion hit him. Standing up, with Theresa cradled in his arms, he made his way to bed.
