Thank ya to Beta Goddess Katness for betaing, Bryn for making me write
this even tho I started thinking it sucks, and LM for telling me "Kree,
more!" Love ya guys!
Janet woke up to the feel of an arm carelessly thrown across her waist,
curling around to pull her tightly against the person behind her.
Her first thought was coffee - she had the hangover from hell - and her
second was who the hell was she in bed with?!
Trying to turn so as not to wake the person hugging her so
possessively, she was painfully aware of the fact that she was, in
fact, naked.
Looking down for anything to cover herself with, she noticed a sheet
just barely covering their bottom halves, and started reaching down to
pull it up. But even this careful, slow movement was enough to cause
her partner to stir.
Shifting sleepily, he pulled her closer and murmured into her ear:
"Love you..."
Janet stiffened, and decided that now was the time to move.
*Definitely* time to move! Her careful moving had had
some...consequences.
She pulled away from his body, ignoring his protests and quickly looked
around for something to cover herself with until she could find her
clothes.
"Morning…" A sleepy voice greeted her ears. Starting, she quickly
grabbed the closest thing she could reach. The sheet on the bed.
She quickly wrapped as much around herself as she could without
exposing her partner, then turned back to the bed.
"Daniel!" she gasped, blushing a bright red.
"Janet?" he asked, not quite awake yet. "Ahhh, my head!"
Groaning, he turned over - away from the light streaming in from the
one window in the room, pulling the sheet away from Janet and forcing
her to sit down on the edge of the bed to remain at least halfway
decently covered.
"Argh…" he managed as he attempted to pull the sheet further up his
body, not realising that Janet had it wrapped around her as well and he
was in danger of being on the receiving end of a slap shortly if he
kept pulling.
"Daniel!" Janet half yelled at him, yanking some of the sheet back over
to her.
"What?" Daniel asked. Janet sighed. Sometimes he could be so thick.
"First of all, how the hell did we manage to end up in bed together?!"
Janet asked. "That would be nice for a start, or perhaps you'd just
like to steal the rest of the sheet, leaving me with nothing, and go
back to sleep," she added sarcastically.
"Uh…" Danny said, making a real attempt to think. "Maybe after I have
some coffee…" Janet just sighed exasperatedly.
"I'm going to find my clothes…I suggest you do the same, unless you
really want to treat anyone outside of this room with an indecent
view," Janet said acidly.
"But your clothes aren't in here…" Daniel said, not quite comprehending
what she was about to do. "You'll be giving them just as indecent a
view as I would…"
"Oh, I know," Janet replied with a smirk on her face. Reaching down,
she gave a large yank and managed to get all of the sheet, and turn
away at the same time so as not to embarrass Danny too much more.
"Hey!" he protested, and she could hear him squirming around a bit on
the one cotton sheet left on the bed. "What am I supposed to wear?! I
don't see my clothes in here anywhere!"
"Well, if I find them, I'll toss them in…if not, I'll toss the sheet
back in when I manage to find my own clothes!" Janet retorted. She was
having far too much fun being in charge, and wasn't about to let him
have the upper hand yet.
Wrapping the sheet around her a bit tighter, she walked out the door,
ignoring Danny's protests from the bed.
**********
Janet had quickly managed to find her clothes. Seeing them draped all
over the living room as soon as she opened the door meant a quick find,
but it also made her worried about what she and Danny had gotten up to
last night. After she got dressed, she tossed Danny's clothes - also
strewn all over the living room - back into the bedroom for him.
Then, deciding that thinking hurt *way* too much without coffee, she
put a pot on, feeling kind of sorry for Danny since he seemed to be in
as bad a state at she was. It wasn't really fair of her to yell at him
when he was in such a delicate state…but it had made her feel a hell of
a lot better, anyway.
She still didn't know exactly where she was, even after much thinking
about it and looking out the window to try find some familiar
landmarks. However, there were a lot of Egyptian things adorning the
walls, and many statues with writings on them, so she assumed that she
and Danny had somehow managed to get here since she was almost certain
they hadn't started the evening here.
Sipping coffee, she wandered around his place. She had never been here
before, and every girl who knew a thing or two about men knew that the
contents of their home said a lot about them.
So what did she find out about Danny?
Well, he was a healthy eater, always a good sign for later in life.
He had a great love of ancient things, proven by the fact that she
managed to crumble a little tiny not-quite-noticeable bit off of a
painting when she gently fingered the edge, trying to figure out what
it was made of.
He…oh who was she kidding. He was pretty much perfect all round. She
sighed to herself, sipping more coffee and started thinking about last
night.
By the time Danny came out, having decided to have a nice, cold shower,
she was deep in thought, standing and staring out the window.
"Hello?" he asked with a slight grin, standing in front of her and
waving his hands in front of her face. "Earth to Janet!"
"Coffee's on the bench," she said, turning away and going to curl up on
one of Danny's couches. So many things were messed up now. This could,
in a nutshell, completely ruin their friendship, and she didn't want
that to happen. If she couldn't have him herself, she wanted to be his
friend, even if he did have some other gorgeous woman she couldn't
possibly match.
He looked at her oddly, then went over and poured himself some coffee.
They sat, silently drinking their coffee together…trying to remember,
and to get rid of their awful hangovers.
"Thanks, I needed that," Danny said as he got up and returned the mug
to the kitchen, then returned to his seat on the couch opposite Janet.
She just nodded, still lost in her thoughts.
"Do you remember?” he suddenly asked after fidgeting for a while with
the ripped edge on the arm of the couch.
"No…" she said.
"Neither," he said, sighing. "Do you think we…" He made a sharp
gesture, blushing all the while.
"I don't know…everything seems to indicate we did, but you never know…"
Janet said with a bit of hope in her voice.
"Don't you women have some way of knowing this sort of stuff?" he
asked.
"No, Daniel, we don't. If we did, there would be a lot less single
mothers out there," Janet snapped, then immediately regretted it, but
didn't apologise. Another silence, again broken by Daniel.
"Are you gonna be ok?"
"What do you think?!" she glared. "I've just had sex with a guy I
happen to lo…like being friends with!"
"What's wrong with that?" Sometimes he asked the most inane questions,
she thought, and it just made her more mad.
"Don't you see? Everything has changed now! Everything is screwed up
because neither of us could say no to the drink last night!" she
yelled, really angry for no real reason right now.
"Do you really believe that?" he asked quietly. She just turned away -
getting up and returning to stare out the window again. He simply
waited, watching her beautiful, lithe form outlined with the pale
winter's sun.
"I don't know what to think right now," she sighed. "I have to go, can
I use your phone to call a taxi?"
"'Course," he replied. "I could give you a ride home…"
"No!" she almost yelled, starting at his offer. "No, no, it's ok, I'll
just catch a taxi."
"If you're sure…"
"I'm sure," she said, not sounding very positive about that.
"Ok," he said, then left her staring out the window as he went and
called her a cab.
Deciding it wasn't a wise idea to go near her right now, he told her
the cab would be outside in ten minutes, then poured himself another
mug of coffee and stayed in the kitchen, watching her from there.
After 5 minutes had passed, she got up silently and headed for the
door. Somehow he couldn't bring himself to stop her. To say he loved
her. To tell her nothing had to change…he stayed drinking coffee, and
wondering about what she had said.
