Ember was jumping on the bed again. "We've got a gig!" she repeated over and over, screaming at random intervals of her happiness. As she jumped, the guys again stared at her, but she didn't bother to take heed of there eyes.
"Well this calls for a celebratory meal! Who's with me?' shouted Lex.
Maverick decided not to ruin the others happiness by what had happened between him and their ice queen. "I'm in. Em?"
She shook her head, ceasing to jump. "I'm beat."
Johnny sighed. "I'm not in the mood, I'll hang back with Ember."
Lex hesitated for a moment. "Suit yourself mates. I guess it's just me and Mav, a night on the town. With the money the give is, it'll be wonderful! A night on the town eh? The girls'll go nuts over the two of us."
Maverick smiled fakely. "Yeah. Nuts."
As the two left, the two remaining could hear Maverick and Lex arguing whether a peanut was really a nut or a legume.
Ember and Johnny couldn't help but laugh. They picked some of the most imbecilic things to argue over.
"Let's see what's on the TV, shall we?" And Johnny flipped the TV on.
"Junk… Crap… Shit…Junk…"
Ember jumped to steal the remote from him. "What d'ya mean junk? That's Splash! I love that movie!"
Johnny snorted in disgust. "Stupid chick flick."
She snorted back at him. "Your stupid."
He put on a face of mock hurt. "I'm shocked Ember! How could you say such a thing."
"Shut up, Butthole!"
This time Johnny laughed, "Butthole? What are you, nine?"
Ember laughed this time. Still on her own bed, she looked at the screen. The movie was almost at the end anyway.
"I don't bite."
She looked up at Johnny. "What?"
"I don't bite. You can sit by me if you want."
Shrugging, she got up and sat next to him. As the ending credits for the movie, Johnny placed a hand around her shoulder. She debated whether to move, or to just stay and go with it… or break his arm off.
Instead she just snuggled into his chest, and slowly drifted to sleep, his warmth overtaking her senses.
