A/N: Thank you everyone who reviewed! Cookies for all!!
Ripley sat on the floor leaning against the couch, the T.V was off and everything was silent. I had let my left arm dangle over the edge of the couch while my right arm cradled my head, and now they were both going numb. I pulled my left arm up and pushed myself up onto my knees, the skin on my back burned and itched from the movement but I ignored it. Ripley glanced up at me and smiled softly as I turned and sat down Indian style. She climbed up on the couch next to me and carefully leaned her head against my shoulder. I hesitantly wrapped my arm around her shoulders, and we sat like that for a while.
It was peacefully quiet for a while, and then Ripley started to sing…
"O-h, m-y love, my darlin', I've hu-ngered fo-r you--r touch a long, lo-nely time..." She paused and looked up at me, a goofy smile spread across her lips.
I raised an eyebrow slightly taken aback by the sudden out burst.
"I forgot the rest of the words," She muttered sheepishly, "I don't know where that came from." She laughed leaning back against my shoulder again.
"And ti-me goes b-y, so slo-wly, and ti-me can d-o s-o much, are you still m-ine?"
She pulled back and gaped at me, "How the hell did you know that?"
I leaned my head against the back of the couch, "When Kitty saw that movie 'Ghost' she rushed out and bought that song and wouldn't stop playing it for two days straight."
Ripley grinned, "Uh huh," She said shaking her head, "I bet you just like that song and made that whole story up."
"I-I did not!" I stammered then smirked, "Okay maybe I made some of it up."
Ripley leaned back against the couch laughing, "Never in a million years…" She shook her head grinning.
It's midnight; my back hurts like hell every time I shift trying to get comfortable. Ripley had gone to bed two hours ago muttering something about going to work in the morning. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep, once again on my stomach.
~Logan~
My eyes snap open and a 'holy shit' is muttered before I can stop myself.
~Chuck?!~ I think back trying to sit up.
~Logan, you need to wake up~
My eyes darted around the room, ~But I am awake, Chuck~
