Erin opened her eyes slowly, and if it weren't for the fact that Andy was sleeping, she would've let out a gasp. She knew she had dozed off, but she didn't remember falling asleep in this position.
Her head rested against Andy's shoulder, and his head rested on top of hers, fast asleep. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, so...adorable. It was a surprise when she noticed Andy's blazer was sagging across her body. Obviously, he had put it there. It was a simple gesture, but still one of the sweetest ideas ever. Even more surprising was the way her left arm wrapped around his right arm tightly, as if it was a pillow. Her left hand was also intertwined within his right hand. Her right arm lay across his chest, and her hand clung tightly to his shirt. Andy's left arm lay protectively across her back.
Erin smiled. No, they weren't together, but it felt so...right. Erin watched Andy sleep for a minute before closing her eyes again. The peace was short-lived, as Erin let out a sneeze. This time, she did gasp, as the outcome ended up on his on brightly colored tie. What was Erin going to do? She didn't want to wake Andy, but she didn't want snot stains on his fashionable tie. She noticed her bag was lying next to her. Erin tried to stay in the same position, not even moving her head, so that Andy could sleep. She released the hand that was clutching Andy's shirt, and reached for her bag. Who was Andy to say that lipstick and tissues couldn't be used in an elevator?Erin laughed to her self as she felt through her bag. Actually, she could use the lipstick, she thought as she felt the cool tube within her fingers, and applied it on her lips in the dark. So what if Andy needed a little push to notice her? She then found the tissues, and once she had one in her hand, she daintily began to scrub his tie.
"What are you doing?" Andy said suddenly.
"Oh, Andy!" Erin said, surprised and embarrassed at the same time. If the color of her cheeks weren't a giveaway, the heat they were admitting probably were. "I, um, sneezed, and, um, well, tried to clean it off." She confessed nervously, and gave a wry smile.
"Oh," Andy smiled. "Thanks. Oh, and you have a bit of lipstick on your teeth."
"Of course I do." Erin mumbled. So much for that plan.
Andy then began suddenly aware that Erin was lying in his arms. "Sleep well?" He said awkwardly.
"Like a baby." Erin replied, fidgiting. "I, um, guess I kinda treated you as my pillow. Sorry about that."
"No problem." Andy said casually. "It was kinda comfy. I mean..well, you know, fine."
"Right. Fine." Erin nodded, becoming conscious that their hands where still entwined, and they quickly broke apart.
"So how long were we out?" Andy said akwardly. "Fifteen? Twenty minutes?"
"I'm guessing half an hour, forty-five minutes." Erin estimated, taking out her phone. "Two hours!" She gasped.
"No way!" Andy exclaimed, leaning next to her to look at it. "We fell asleep at like 12:30, and it's...wow, 2:30!"
"Looks like we're heavy sleepers." Erin noted.
"Looks like no one in the office noticed we're gone." Andy pointed out.
"So, we've been in here for about five hours fifteen minutes." Erin said.
"And there's still about two and a half hours before work ends."
"What do we do now?"
"Make the best of it." Andy said, grabbing her iPod. "That's your motto, right?"
Andy and Erin lay on their backs side by side, listening to her iPod. Party in the USA turned on.
"Remember when we danced to this, in this every elevator, a few months ago?" Andy reminisced.
"I'm not up for dancing at the moment." Erin grumbled.
"We could write a parody song to this." He suggested.
"About what?" Erin said, interested.
"I don't know, anything. Cheeseburgers, puppies, Cornell, hmm...Sabre." He thought.
"Sabre?" Erin said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you know. Sabre rhymes with USA. We could write a welcome song for the new company." He explained.
"And why would we do that?"
"To be kiss ups." Andy laughed. "Or just because we've got nothing better to do."
Erin started the song again. "How would you start it?" She asked curiously.
"Ummm," Andy began to sing along with Miley, but changed the lyrics, "I hopped off the plane at Scranton, Pa, another cloudy gray afternoon."
Erin laughed, and Andy looked at her expectantly, so she bagan to sing, "Jumped in the cab, here you are for the first time, look to the right and you see the electric city sign."
Andy smiled, and sang, "This is gonna be a good day,"
"For Dunder Mifflin and Sabre!" Erin added.
"Yeah, Yeah, Dunder Mifflin is a part of Sabre! Yeah, Yeah, Dunder Mifflin is a part of Sabre!" They sang in unison, and laughed when they finished.
"We could actually sing that to welcome the company!" Andy suggested excitedly.
"You think?" Erin said excitedly.
"Oh, yeah! And I can learn the song on my guitar and everything!"
"That's be so awesome!" She giggled.
"Yeah, we can present it to the whole office. It'll be great. You sound better than Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Lady GaGa put together!" Andy compliemented.
"Oh, thanks, Andy." Erin said, truly touched. "You sound better than all three Jonas Brothers!"
"Can't say I haven't heard that one before." Andy said proudly.
