Aasrel was quickly asleep, his arms resting gently around her. He slept peacefully and quietly throughout the rest of the night. When morning came, he was still fast asleep.

Bethany slept. Which was good, but it was still off and on. She woke enough to register her surroundings and who was there with her and then she was asleep again. 20 minutes before she had to get up she woke, struggling to catch her breath because her heart was racing. Once she was awake she was able to control it, but there was no need to try and sleep after that. She laid still so as not to disturb him, but when the coffee started brewing, she knew it was time to get up and she slowly slid off the couch.

Aasrel woke the moment she started to move. His arms tightened around her slightly and his groggy voice drifted out in the dark room. “Is it already time to get up?”

~ Aasrel

Bethany relaxed back against him without protest. “Mmmhmmm,” she yawned. “At least for me. I don’t know about you. But if I don’t get moving my dept will know how little sleep I’m getting. And you can guarantee that someone saw us come to my quarters last night and someone will see us leave. With nothing else to do they will gossip. So, might as well give them something to talk about. I can be bright and chipper or noticeable late.” She laughed softly with her arms tightly around him.

Bethany

“If they’re going to gossip either way…” Aasrel gave her a tired but mischievous look. But then he squeezed her one last time and shook his head. “I shouldn’t talk you into being late. I shouldn’t be late…” He’d rather stay here. He was tired. And he had a hard time caring whether he was late or not.

~ Aasrel

“No we shouldn’t be, but you could always say you were making a house call.” She didn’t offer to move again, yet. “If you want to sleep a little more, go ahead, I can set an alarm for you. I don’t mind if you stay longer. I’ll be quiet.” She sat up after hugging him tightly and stood. She returned the mischievous look, “I’ll be in the shower if you need anything.”

Bethany

Aasrel hugged her as she got up. “I could lay down a little longer.” He said, getting ready to settle in. The next thing she said was about the only thing that would motivate him to move. Sitting up, he stretched and gave her another look. “Anything?”

~ Aasrel

She looked over her shoulder at him, “Anything.” She turned and walked backwards a couple of steps. “My uncles raised me to be a very accommodating hostess.” She grinned, turned and paused by the door. She looked back at him and winked before disappearing.

Bethany

Aasrel stood and followed her into the bathroom. He grinned at her, hoping he was reading her hints right. He was nervous, he wasn’t sure why.

~ Aasrel

Bethany put her arms around him, “Good morning.” And then she kissed him.

Much to the disappointment of those who enjoyed Bethany’s fresh coffee, the LCARS display outside her door stated it was broken and there was no coffee that morning.
