Here goes no 12. And thanks for the encouragement. ;-) I really wasn't sure if that was the best way to go.

"What just took over your brain? Have you lost your memory?" She tried to sound angry as she broke away.

"What can I say? Arguing with you makes me aroused." He grinned, breath shallow.

"Unless you've got something in your pocket, I think I can tell."

"Funny Rush. I didn't see you complaining."

It was only then that she notice her arms were around his neck, and her leg dragged up his side. How long had they been in here?

"Are you going to let go of my leg?"

"You gonna let go of my neck? Or do you like this position as much as I do?"

"Funny Scotty." She gave a brief chuckle. "Don't get me wrong, I'm all for joining the mile high club, but just because we're so far up in the air, doesn't mean that I'm losing my mind."

"Hurts Lil'." He dropped her leg.

"Thank you." She too disentangled. "Now are you gonna play nice and move. Your little stunt over?"

"Nope. Hasn't even started. You wanted private - well you can't get more private than this."

"I don't like being trapped Scotty." She warned.

"You're not. You can leave any time. But if you go out there, I'll keep talkin'."

"But you won't get any answers." She smirked. "You can talk all you want; your voice would probably send me to sleep anyway. Excuse me."

She brushed against him, there bodies facing as she tried to move past him. As there bodies were in perfect parallel, he reached towards her pale face, locking her lips once again. Both forgot the outside world, until the need for air surfaced.

"Why do you keep doing that?" She asked breathlessly.

"Why do you keep kissing me back?" He returned with anxiety.

"What can I say? Confined spaces make me nervous. It was either hit you or kiss you."

"Is that right?" He smiled.

"Yeah! Now answer my question. Why did you?"

"Well it kept you here didn't it?" He inwardly sniggered.

"Not for long."

She reached for the handle, as he grabbed her arm.

"You know what Scotty. If I didn't trust you, I would have broken your arm already."

"Gee, thanks."

"No problem -now let go." She chimed.

He let go as he said; "Just one thing. Why won't you let anyone care?"

"Look Scotty. Your younger than me, so I'll put it real simple. People say they care or that they love you; but then they betray you or 'sell you out' as George so nicely put it."

"Lil', I think he was just messing with your head. Just because people aren't always dependable, doesn't mean that they don't care. You just have to let them."

"You keep telling yourself that." She reached for the door handle, before turning as an after thought, at a near whisper: "If they truly care Scotty; they won't care that I won't let them."

Then she was gone.

Okay kind of short. Next up they're in Vegas. Hmmmm, wonder what could happen there. Hint, hint. Promise this isn't the end of LS. He wanted to know the answer, I guess he got it.
