What Comes Around
Chapter 5
So, back to the story.
I sat up when I heard something moving. I had passed out at the table, hoping to god that I hadn't said the last thing I remembered thinking. I frowned when I didn't see her sitting in the chair next to me. I looked around and sighed when I saw her curled on the couch. "My head…" I said, running my hand over my face. I stood up and looked at the clock, it was one am. I walked into the bedroom and picked up a blanket, walking back out into the living room.
I looked at her. There was a chick, laying wasted on MY couch at one am, and I couldn't even bring myself to think about that kind of thing. And for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. I put the blanket over her and as I moved my hand from the blanket my finger touched something cold around her neck. I tugged at it and from inside her tank top and under the blanket came an ancient looking piece of metal.
That was when I figured out why I couldn't bring myself to even think it.
"That was Logan's." She said, blinking. She obviously hadn't passed out yet. Now that I think about it, of the fifteen bottles on the table, twelve were mine.
"I figured." I said, letting it fall into her hand as she for it. "I' says Wolverine on i' an everthin'."
She didn't grin like I'd hoped she would. "Yeah. It does." She paused with the dog tag in her hand and then pulled on it. The chain came undone and she baled it up in her hand, sitting up so she could put it in her pocket. She stretched her arms over her head and yawned. "You're head hurt?"
I stared at her for a moment, my eyes sliding down from her face as I answered. "Yeah, a little."
I blinked and looked back up at her as she looked at me her eyes sending that shiver up my spine again, "You want an egg?"
I blinked at her and then frowned, "An egg?" I asked with what I could only call a confused tone.
She grinned, "Get me an egg, salt and pepper, some antacids, and a shot glass." She folded her legs up under her as she spoke and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. I still don't know where she got the tie, but hey, I was hung over right?
