Robby pauses on threshold to Laura's bedroom before Laura pulls him into the room. "I don't have anything to wear." Robby mumbles as his face turns very red.
"Just wear your shorts. I don't mind. I'm just going to change. You go ahead and make yourself comfy." Laura smiles at Robby as she grabs some pj's and heads into the bathroom.
Robby is nervous. He's not sure he wants Laura to see him in his shorts and he certainly doesn't want her to see his bare chest, at least not yet. He quickly strips down to his shorts and undershirt and slips between the covers.
In the bathroom Laura is leaning against the sink breathing heavily. She's as nervous as Robby is in the other room. She changes into her pyjamas and washes her face. She takes a deep breath before she opens the door and goes back into the bedroom. Robby looks so anxious when Laura enters the room. He's sitting very stiffly on the bed. Laura smiles and walks slowly towards the bed.
"I'm not so sure about this, Laura." Robby says timidly.
Laura covers Robby's hand with hers and says, "I know you're nervous. It's okay to be nervous. Just give me a chance. I'm nervous too. We only have to try. Don't be anxious." Laura slides beneath the covers next to Robby. She leans over and kisses his cheek before she reaches up and turns the lights off. She snuggles down into the covers. This winter has been very cold. She suddenly feels Robby's presence directly behind her. She carefully moves back against Robby's chest. She doesn't want to scare him. She can feel and hear Robby take a deep breath before he slides his arm around her petite waist. Laura sighs contentedly and sinks her head onto her pillow. Having Robby next to her makes her feel safe and helps her to sleep better and longer. Laura rests her hand on top of Robby's on her waist. She feels Robby's breathing even out as he falls asleep next to her.
