A/N-short chap, I know, but it's a transition to the next one which is a nice size...
Hey lay in bed staring at the ceiling, trying ti will him self to sleep. He rolled over yet again trying to find a position to ease him to sleep. "Can't sleep either, eh?" She called from the cot in the corner.
"Yeah." He commented, shifting again. "Can't get comfortable. Same over there?"
"No, can't get tired." She stretched. "You know what I feel like?"
"Trying to let me sleep?" He suggested and she laughed.
"No, a swim."
"Jordan, it's-" He rolled over and squinted at the angry red numbers on the alarm clock, "-one thirty in the morning." He heard her get up anyway.
"Where's your sense of adventure?" She asked walking into the bathroom. The bright light blinded him before she closed the door behind her, leaving him to sit up groggily. She came out minutes later in the same bikini she had worn previously. "Besides, it's a known fact that it's amazingly easy to sleep on the sand." She walked out and pulled two towels out of the linen closest. "You coming or what?" She called and he got up and followed her outside.
She had already made her way down to the water when he had sprawled the towel and sat on it. "You know I'm not going out there, even if you really do drown." He shouted at her and he could barely hear her laugh carry back to him. He leaned back, laying in the sand, head propped up on his hands as he watched her swim easily, first out, then back, then parallel to the shore. It didn't take long for him to drift off into sleep.
He didn't even notice when she emerged some time later from the water and gently dried off before laying next to him and gently wrapped her arms around him, holding him like a giant teddy bear.
