* Please Review!*

When Travis woke up, he was surrounded by her scent. He loved her bed. It was so much more comfortable than his, so he snuggled into her blankets more a second before he realized he was alone. He pushed the blankets off his head and sat up to look around. He called out to her but no one in the loft answered him. Taped to her closed door was note. Gathering her comforter around him, Travis stood up. He walked over to her door and snatched the note done.

Travis,

I had class early. You did too but when I tried to wake you up, you just muttered something I couldn't understand and pulled the blankets over your head. Meet me at the cafe at noon? I'll buy you coffee. We should talk.

Saint.

Travis ran his hand through his head and made his way back to her bed. He looked at her alarm clock and saw it was nine. He laid back down and set her alarm to go off at eleven. That gave him enough time to hit the snooze button a few times, shower, change and head out. He pulled the blankets back over his head and grabbed her pillow. He snuggled up with it and smiled with his eyes shut. He remembered her waking him up.

" Travis, wake up. You need to get ready for class."

" Mmmm." Was all he could mutter. She giggled.

" Come on." Saint whispered into his ear.

" Just lay with me." Travis thought he had said. He made a grab for her and heard her laugh again. He smiled with his eyes shut.

Saint walked into the cafe, holding onto the straps of her bag. Travis was already there, standing by the counter. She blushed as he grinned and started towards her. Already their short time together was so different than her entire time with Nick. Travis seemed as excited to see her as she was to see him. She bit the left side of her lip as they walked to each other.

" Hey." Travis said.

It seemed like he wanted to hug her. Both his arms came up in a hug but he pulled them back and held his hand out to her. Saint frowned in confusion but reached out to shake his hand when Travis pulled it back. She opened her mouth to say something when he gave it to her again. They shook hands in an awkward exchange before he shoved his hands into his pockets.

" Coffee?" She asked. He nodded, needing to defuse the embarrassment between them.

" I got us some." He said. " They are pouring it right now." She sighed as they walked. Should she touch him? At the same time they reached the counter, their coffees were set down. He offered a smile and thanks to the clerk then picked up their drinks. " I'll follow you." He said.

Saint looked around the cafe and decided on a booth in the back. She started towards it, feeling nervous. Did he regret what happen between them? She didn't but he hadn't greeted her with a hug or a kiss. Maybe that was how couples reacted to each other. Maybe she had fooled herself in thinking people did that. She and Nick didn't. But they used too so...

" Is this okay?" She asked when she faced Travis again.

" Yeah, this is great." He said, setting their coffees down. They slipped down across from each other. " How was class?" He asked. He was asking her about class? He pushed her coffee over to her.

" It was alright. How was your sleep?" She asked with a smile. Travis laughed.

' It was good. I slept great." Travis said.

" My bed is comfortable." Saint said, taking her cup.

" Yeah it is but that's not why I was comfortable." He said. Saint tilted her head and frowned slightly.

" Was it my blankets?" She asked. Travis realized she didn't understand what he was saying. What the hell, he thought to himself. Did Nick never compliment her?

" Ah, no, Saint. It was because you were there with me." He said. She sat back and blushed.

" Me?" She asked. Travis started rubbing his chin.

" Yeah...well...I like sleeping next to you." He admitted shyly.

" Oh." He smiled as he realized that that thought never occurred to her. He grabbed his cup with both hands and leaned forward. He watched as she brought her cup to her mouth. She looked away as she took a drink. He remembered all to well what her mouth felt like. The thought made him clear his throat.

" So..." He started, pulling her eyes back to his face. She swallowed the hot coffee and set her cup down.

" So." Saint said. She carefully wiped the side of her mouth with her hand to clear away any coffee that remained there.

" So, I guess we should talk." Travis said.

" Yeah, okay. Yeah, let's talk." She said, making him smile.

" So you and Nick broke up? Like for real? It's over and you don't think you will go back to him?" He asked.

" We broke up. It's for real. It's over and no, I won't go back to him." She said.

" Why did you break up?" He asked.

" It's been over between us for a while and we both knew it. I haven't felt the same way towards him as I used too." She said.

" So why did you stay with him than?" Travis asked.

" I was scared. I was comfortable." Saint admitted with a shrug. " You know? There are things about my past that Nick knew and I thought he accepted but he didn't. I was scared to be without him but I realized that I don't need him to be okay." Saint said. Travis knew about her past too but didn't want her to know that. " Why are you asking about him?"

" Because I don't want to be a rebound." Travis admitted. " I want to be your boyfriend but I don't want to be your rebound. If you need some time to yourself, I can understand that and I can wait. I mean, I have waited this long, I can wait a little longer."

" What do you mean you waited this long?" Saint asked. Travis smiled and started rolling his cup in his hands.

" I have liked you for a while. It just took sometime for me to realize it." Travis closed his eyes and shook his head briefly before he looked back at her. " That's not true. I have known it for a while, I just tried to ignore it because of Nick. I tried to focus on my art, school, other girls, but nothing worked. I want to be with you, Saint, but I won't be your guy to get over your ex."

" You aren't that guy." Saint said softly. " I don't need that and I don't need time alone either."

" So are we going to do this than? Are we going to be together?" He had so much hope in his voice and on his face that Saint smiled wide.

" Yeah. I want to be together."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Travis was up and out of the booth. He came down beside her and grabbed her neck gently. He pressed his lips to hers. She wanted to laugh at how excited he was but then he filled her mouth and was twisting around her tongue. She grabbed his shirt and almost moaned. Kissing Nick was nothing like kissing Travis. Nick's hands always stayed on her hips or her arms. Travis' hands were on her neck a second before he slipped them up to her face. He cupped her jawline while his thumbs stroked her cheeks.

He pulled back, tilted his head to the right as he lightly kissed at her lips a second before he pressed back against her mouth. She parted for him and met his tongue at once. He moved closer to her. Nick had always kept distance between them unless he knew they were going to have sex. One of Travis' hands went to her hair. He twisted his fingers around some strands as he slipped through it. He sighed and pulled back again. He pressed his forehead to hers.

" Hey." He whispered, making her smile and sigh.

" Hey." Saint whispered. He pulled away and smiled as he dropped his hands to hers. He took a hold of her and interlocked their fingers.

" Can I talk you into skipping the rest of your classes and spend the day with me?" Travis asked.

" I think you can try." Saint said, making him laugh.

" Okay, let me see what I can do. How about you skip your classes, come home with me and we will watch all your zombie movies as long as you watch the Boondock Saints with me." Travis said.

" The Boondock Saints?" She asked with a smile.

" Hell yeah. Murphy kicks ass!" He said, making her laugh.

" I have never seen it." She said.

" Let's get the coffee to go then go home. It's cold so we can just lay down and watch movies all day." Travis said, making her heart jump. This was what having a boyfriend was supposed to be like, she thought to herself.

They laid on the couch together, under a blanket, making out to gun fire and irish accents.

His hands traveled through her hair while she tugged at his. Travis started to thrust slowly against her and she responded by rubbing against him. Even though they were completely dressed, the friction against his erection felt good.

" We should stop." Travis muttered. His blood was burning and his dick jerked in protest.

" Why?" She whispered.

" Do you want to keep going?" Travis asked as he looked at her. Saint blinked at him then nodded slowly.

' YES!' His entire body yelled.

" But not out here. We should go into my room."

He could hardly believe what she was saying. He jerked up, sending the blankets to the floor and making her laugh. He jumped off the couch and scoped her up into his arms. Saint laughed louder but wrapped her arms around his neck. He took off to her room with a grin. He flew into her room and dropped her down on her bed.

" I need a second, okay?" He asked her.

" Where are you going?" Saint asked. He gave her a closed mouth, hard kiss.

" To lock the front door and put a tie on your door." He said before he dashed out.

Saint started laughing as she took her shoes off. Thanks to Saint walking in on Derrick during his 'Special Derrick Time', they had decided to put a tie on their bedroom door knobs when they didn't want anyone to come in. She had screamed and slammed the door shut when she saw Derrick at work on his bed. Travis and Jones had stared up at her from their spot in the kitchen while Derrick laughed, declaring his time was ruined.

Travis walked back into her room with the black tie the roommates had brought together. They nicknamed it Mr. Sexy. Saint was sitting on her bed, smiling at him. Travis was grinning as he tied Mr. Sexy to her door knob then carefully shut her door. In the three years she lived with them, her door had never had a visit from Mr. Sexy. Nick only stayed in hotels when he came and she had never cheated on him. Nick was the only man she had ever been with. At that thought, her nerves suddenly jumped through the roof.

" I..." She closed her eyes as she blushed. " I'm not going to be what you're used too." She said.

" What do you mean?" Travis asked while he walked over to her bed. Saint opened her eyes, feeling like she was going to drown in embarrassment.

" I'm not...experienced. I have only been with one person." She said softly. Travis sank down into her bed and took her hand.

" It's okay, Saint." He said. " I promise." He was just as nervous as she was. Making out was one thing but having sex? There was no coming back from that. They could make out and go back to bring friends but once they had sex, they would never be just roommates again.

* Okay, I couldn't help it. I had to throw in Murphy! And Caffiend04: Don't kill me for ending the chapter like this. It sort of makes me laugh to do it like this because I know how it affects you! LOL*
