Chapter 7

It was a surprisingly short drive from Sara's apartment to John's and they were both rather astonished that they had never ran into each other given the close proximity. They took the elevator up to the third floor where John's apartment was located.

The apartment was a relatively good size, there was a small kitchen but the living room and bedroom were both large. Sara put her bag down on the couch and followed John into the kitchen. "Do you want one?" He asked, pulling a beer out of the fridge.

"You aren't trying to get me drunk already are you John?" She asked with a smile as she took the offered bottle.

"Given your injuries I think it might be better if we leave the drunk actions for later, if I remember correctly you aren't the most coordinated person when you're drunk… of course you really aren't when you're sober either."

"Do you even want to start on things you've done while drunk? How about the time in subway…"

"Okay, point proven. Do you want to watch a movie or something?" John said moving to sit on the couch.

"Sure." Sara smiled at him, moving her bag to the floor and sitting down next to him. They found a movie to watch and settled in on the couch. A few hours later Sara had fallen asleep and John soon followed suit. When they later woke up Sara had moved closer to John and he had wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"What time is it?" John muttered reaching for his glasses that he had put down on the coffee table before falling asleep.

"Don't know." Sara mumbled into John's chest, not wanting to wake up.

"Come on." He said standing up and then reaching down to help her.

"Where?" She asked still half asleep.

"Bed." John replied, following in her one-word sentences.

"Bed good."

"Yeah, bed good." He nodded taking her hand and leading her to the bedroom.

"Do you have something I can wear?" She asked, finally becoming slightly more aware of where she was. John provided her with a t-shirt that fit fine on him but went down to Sara's knees when she put it on. "Thanks."

"No problem." Sara climbed into the bed and curled up under the sheets. John sighed and went to grab one of the pillows to go sleep on the couch.

"Where are you going?" Sara asked raising her head to look at him.

"Sleep on the couch."

"John, don't be silly, just sleep in here with me. That couch isn't too comfortable."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, come on I won't bite, I didn't have that much beer." She smiled before dropping her head back onto the pillow. John got into the bed next to her, she once again curled up next to him and went back to sleep.

"It's going to be a long night" John thought to himself trying to close his eyes and go to sleep as Sara moved closer.
