Chapter 10

It took Mallory a few minutes to realize where she was. The last thing she remembered was Wildwing holding her in his arms as she cried, and then resting her head on his neck.

"Shit!" she thought "I must have fallen asleep after I spilled my guts to Wing and made myself look like a total wimp to him."

She thought about trying to get up, but realized that she'd only wake him up in the process. She decided to just lay there until he woke up, knowing that this might be the only time that she would ever wake up next to him. She enjoyed waking up next to him. She wasn't uncomfortable at all, although the position that they were in was reserved for people who were more than just friends. His arms were wrapped around her waist, one going up under her shirt and touching her back. Her arms were wrapped around his waist, and his head was buried in her hair. Their legs were intertwined, and they were so jumbled together that it was going to be hard to separate them. Mallory just enjoyed the warmth of his body, and wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist. Just a few moments later, Wildwing stirred from his sleep, and he woke up. Mallory could see Wildwing try to take in his surroundings, but neither one of them attempted to move from each other's hold.

"Good evening Wing" Mallory mumbled, still trying to let go of the remnants of sleep.

"Do we HAVE to get up Mal?" he sighed

"No, but do you really want to be stuck with me for all eternity?"

He responded by wrapping his arms tighter around her body, and burying her head deeper into her hair.

"Let's go out for dinner tonight" he mumbled through her hair

"Somewhere fancy?" asked Mal

"Why not, I'll pay," he said

Mallory and Wildwing finally managed to untangle their arms and legs, and Wildwing left Mallory's room to make the reservations. Mallory hopped into her shower and thought over all of the things that had happened. The most confusing thing to her was what had happened when they had woken up. She asked if he really wanted to be stuck with her forever, and he didn't say no. In fact, he just hugged her tighter, and buried his head in her hair. Does he really have feelings for me? Is all of this too good to be true?

"He can't love me," she said to no one in particular "I'm just seeing things that aren't there."

Mallory stepped out of her shower, and wrapped her hair in one towel, her body in another.

"MALLORY!!!" she heard Wildwing screaming at her from in front of her door. The door opened with a hiss as she stepped out to see Wildwing.

"O gee Mal, I didn't know that you just got out of the shower" said Wildwing covering his eyes.

"You can open your eyes, I'm not naked you know" she retorted

"Alright" he said unshielding his eyes. He once again caught himself staring at Mallory, but quickly move his eyes to meet hers. "The reservations are for 8:30 so we need to go in about half an hour to get there on time." He said

"Alright see you later Wing," she said and the door closed with a hiss as she walked back into her room.

Mallory was having trouble trying to find something to wear. She had her hair done and her make-up on, but she couldn't find a dress to wear. That was when it hit her. "Of course, the velvet, thin strap, dark turquoise dress that Wing picked out for me. He'll DEFINATLY notice that dress on me."

Mallory hurried to get dressed, hoping that she wasn't making them late for dinner.
