" No it's-it's alright Trudy I-I don't need and form of pay-pay-payment." I realised I was making his slightly nervous.
" I could get you back with suggestive favours?" I winked and saw him blush lightly.
" N-N-N-" He started to stutter.
" Norm I'm just kidding." I smiled playfully punching his sholder.
" Right." He chuckled nervously as I stuck my finger in the peanut butter again.
I glanced at him making sure to get an extra big glob of peanut butter on my index finger. I shot him a sneaky smirk.
" Trudy, no, Trudy don't you- no Trudy!" Norm started backing up as I came forward.
I jumped at him smearing his face with peanut butter. I rubbed it all over his face laughing hugely at his expression.
" There ya go now you'll taste good too." I smiled at him.
" Trudy." I screwed the lid back on my peanut butter and put it in my bag.
I couldn't stop laughing, this was fucking halarious. I bent over in half my bag falling to the ground, still laughing my ass off.
Norm picked me up and rubbed his face against mine smearing me with peanut butter. I squealed and beat on his chest realising I was acting more female than I had in years.
" Norm, put me down!" He had me lifted about two feet off the floor seeing as I was five three and he was six four.
" Hell no, this is pay back." I could feel it in ym hair as well as all over my face.
" Norm." I growled as he pinned my arms to my sides.
" Uh-un." He scolded playfully finally pulling away from me. " Watch your temper."
I merely growled as he set me on ym feet his arms still pinning mine to my side.
He shook his head again. " Some one just might have to teach you some manners." He smiled suggestively at me.
" And what exactly did you Mr. PhD have in mind?" I smiled excepting his answer I closed my eyes.
His lips were centimeters from mine when I heard some one call his name.
" Norm!" There was a slight pause. " Ah shit can you two get a room?" Norm spun around and I looked around him to see none other that Jake Sully the blue monkey himself wheeling toard us. " What the hell is on your faces? Have you two been getting into trouble or is that just shit?"
I laughed at the joke. " It's peanut butter asshole."
" Oh well Grace wants to talk to you two ASAP." He smiled and turned his chair around waiting for us to follow. I wiped my face, winked at Norm, and then caught up to Sully pushing his chair. He made a noise deep in his throat and I smaked the back of his head. He didn't like it when people pushed him, he didn't like haveing to be dependent but any one could see how beaten down and bone tired he was.
" Shut up and enjoy the fucking ride already." I continued tp push him when he didn't protest and I could feel Norm's hand, lighter than a fucking feather, on my waist.
I stopped and let him catch up, his arm strapping tigthtly around my waist. I smiled and Kept pushing Sullyu knowing Grace'd be pissed off if we were late. Grace was amazing though, she was the bravest woman I knew and never let any one every tell her what to do. Especially not Selfridge and his goon.
I saw Grace and I smiled pushing Sully over to her. She glanced at Norm, his arm around my waist, then at me pushing Sully like the criple he was, then at Sully himself.
Sully looked like hell, his pants were baggy and loose his shirt on backwards for Christ's sake. He had a beard growing and his eyes were far away from here obviousl;y thinking back to the Na'vi where he'd rather be, hell if I was him I'd wanna be bacxk on legs too.
" So Grace what'cha need?" I asked letting go of Sully's chair.
" I wanted to let you know that we'll be headed for a base up in the mountains in about a month's time." She smiled and I felt Norm's arm tighten around me.
" T-The Hallelujah mountains?" Norm spit though his teeth. His eyes were wide, excited, his face flushed.
" Ya. What do ya say Marine?" Grace smiled at Sully, my eyes falling back to Norm's green ones.
He nodded his head in the direction of the garage my baby was in and I followed willingly. We walked down empty hallways his arms still around my waist. I tucked my head into his sholder and smiled. I wasn't use to this, this feeling, this smile, this man. But I liked it, every second.
" So Mr. PhD what was it you were going to show me earlier?" I smiled clsing my eyes as we sat in the plane, which was in a far off, secluded corner of the huge garage covered by shadows.
I closed my eyes waiting for his lips to find mine. They did eventually but were soft, hesitant. He was so gentle like I was the one that would shatter into a million pieces, not knowing in then but eventually I did shatter. His hand was light as a feather at my waist.
