"Speaking"

Sarah had to admit that having Thor around wasn't so bad; after he'd put Amanda in her bed, he and Sarah taken a bottle of wine back to her room sat on her large bed and finished their earlier conversation.

"I noticed on the way up here you were looking around nervously?" Thor said placing the empty bottle on the floor next to the bed.
"The guy who lives three doors down and never leaves his apartment has a sort of obsession with me." She sighed.

"Really?" He asked the wine going to both of their heads.
"Yep, its creepy and he only ever comes out to try and get me to let him in here." She said.
"I could do something about it." He offered. For some reason protecting this woman that he'd just met was important to him.

"No, it hasn't gotten to a point where I should worry, he's just really creepy at the moment." Sarah said, "but thank you for being so helpful."

"A man should always jump at the chance to aid and protect a woman in need." Thor replied as though it was how the world worked.
"Well, you're the only man I've ever met who seems to remember that." She smirked.

Amanda was the first one to wake up the next morning since Sarah had so very kindly set her alarm so that she wouldn't be late for work. Only problem was that she'd woken up hung over and out of aspirin.

"Hey Sare-bear, do you have any aspirin?" She asked barging into her friend's room after she'd gotten dressed. "Oh...Sare-bear?" She asked. "Sarah?" She asked again. "Oh my god your ex is here!" She shouted.

Both Sarah and Thor's eyes shot open. Both of them realizing that Thor had spent the night. Sarah was wrapped in his muscular arms her face buried in his chest.

He smells like the wind. She sighed inwardly hopping that no one noticed what she was doing, then the reality of the situation set in. Doing a quick inventory she found that they were thankfully still in their clothes, and her ex was not there.

"Not cool Mandy." She said glaring at the professionally dressed woman giggling in the doorway.
"I tried to wake you up the nice way twice. Now gimme aspirin or I'll be late." Amanda said.

Sarah dug around in the drawer on her night table and tossed her friend the bottle of pills. "Later you two!" Amanda called over her shoulder as she grabbed her things and left.

"I can't believe I drunk that much." Sarah mumbled rummaging around in the fridge for something to fix for breakfast. Thor was busy sitting at the table admiring the curve of her backside in the jeans she'd chosen to wear.

The thunder god had enjoyed waking up next to her, which he found strange considering he'd only known her for a few hours. "Are you not a heavy drinker?" He asked.

"Normally I don't drink." She answered.
"Oh?" He asked.
"Yeah, I like to be alert to my surroundings." She shrugged.

"In case your ex shows up?" Thor asked for clarification.

"He knows that I was pregnant with his little girl, and we were going to be happy together...despite him being my collage professor." Sarah explained. "But when I found out he was married with two kids of his own, Amanda and I transferred and left without saying a word to him."

Thor was shocked now that he knew the specifics behind Sarah's insecurities with men. "So he's never seen his daughter?"

"No, I don't believe he deserves to and neither does she, but I did make sure that his wife knew about me." She said.

"Do you know where he is or what happened to him?" Thor asked he could understand why she didn't want the man to be a part of their lives.
"I don't care what happened to him as long as he doesn't show his face around here." She said serving pancakes and bacon.
"I can understand that." He said shoveling food into his mouth.

Thor didn't stay after breakfast, they did exchange phone numbers though.

He had a meeting with the other Avengers at the base, but he really wanted to spend the morning with Sarah.

Sarah did some cleaning and reorganizing the small office space in her bedroom before sitting down and adding more to her blog. "At least my many loyal readers won't have to hear about being a parent today," She said to herself. "At least not as much as normal." She chuckled.
