Cry's POV

I laid in bed awkwardly... That was...weird...mostly because she was right about what I had been doing (hey don't judge a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!). I so wanted Ellie's tiny frame gently pressed against my larger one. Honestly, I didn't even want to have sex with her... I just wanted to hold her close and kiss her neck... It was what we both needed, but neither of us had the nerve to do more then hugging. Sure we had fallen asleep in the same bed before, but both of us don't cuddle in our sleep. I tossed the tick blankets aside. I felt so ashamed of what I had done earlier...I felt like such a dog. My face had turned red and I could feel the blood settling in my cheeks.

Although I was tired, Ellie kept filling my thoughts and distracting me. Growing tired of sitting still; I got up and went to the kitchen, where I found Ellie reading a thick book. She had always bed such a little book worm. Her knees were tucked up under her over-sized tee shirt... I guess she had planned on staying the night. She was beautiful. "Oh hey sleeping beauty." , she smiled at me softly... Almost like she was just asking for me to come and kiss her. She was wearing knee high socks with red stripes on the top... They made her already long legs look like they ran on for miles. I was surprised I wasn't drooling.

"Hi." , I said in my usual tone. I don't think she was wearing pants... But her tee shirt was more like a dress. She nodded over to the fridge, "put the food in there." ,she said while grabbing two mugs and filling them with cheap wine. I guess it wasn't too late in the night to start drinking. Besides drinking was never really an issue for Ellie and me. I grabbed a sandwich and sat in front of a white mug that was probably now stained with wine... Eh. I picked up the glass and took a sip... Maybe I should just tell her.
