Pulling into the driveway, Greg turned off the ignition and looked over at Amy. She was asleep. He smiled then got out and walked around to the other side of the car. Amy complained when he picked her up and started to carry her to the house. "shhh. It's ok. We're at my house. Can you stand up for a moment?" he asked as he gently put her feet on the ground waiting for her to take over. She shifted her weight from him to her own feet and stood while Greg slipped the key into the door and opened it.

"This is different than I remember. Did you upgrade or something?" she asked with a drowsy half-smile.

Greg smiled back then said, "I bet you're tired. Do you need something to sleep in?"

"I guess so."

"Ok hold on." He left the room, and then reentered a moment later carrying some athletic pants and a white wife beater. "Here, this is all I could find that wasn't boxers." They both laughed.

"I forget, where's the bathroom?" she asked looking around.

"Down the hall to the right."

"Thanks."

When she came out, Greg noticed that his gym pants were too long, but, he thought, she looked amazing in the wife beater. "Am I on the couch?" she asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"No. You're in my bed."

"I'm not going to take your bed. You let me stay here now I should sleep on the couch or something."

"I was raised that when a pretty lady comes over for the night you give her whatever she needs to feel comfortable. And believe me," he looked at the couch. "this thing is not comfortable." He started to usher her down the hallway to the bedroom. When she was under the covers he took a minute to look at her. She had a shadow of a bruise under her right eye. He wondered to himself how a man could do this to such a beautiful woman. He was almost out the door pulling it to when he heard her ask, "will you be here when I wake up?"

"Yes"

"You promise?" she sounded like a little kid.

"I promise. Have a good night sleep." He replied, but when he looked back he saw that she was already asleep.

Hey! Sorry I didn't put a comment in that last chapter. Slipped away from me. This one is shorter than the last but I like it ok. I want to say 'thanks' to remoob1513 for giving me the ideas for titles. I love your ideas, but I am still looking at possibilities. Thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far. I love to hear what you have to say. Keep 'em coming!
