"Chia...Chia wake up.." AJ bent down and whispered in her ear..
"Huh..what the..oh hi." Chia sat up on the couch and smiled at AJ...
"You fell asleep when I was out saying goodbye to Brian and Kevin and I wasn;t sure if yu wanted to stay on the couch or sleep in the spare bedroom." AJ smiled at the stunning redhead praying that she said she wanted to stay in his room.
"The spare bedroom would be great..." Chia wanted with all her heart to spend the night wrapped in AJ's arms but she was not ready for that kind of emotion right now...
AJ tried to hide his disapointment.."Follow me, I will show you where the towels and stuff are in case you want to shower before you go to bed.." AJ walked ahead leading the way.
"This is the spare bedroom.." AJ opened the door and turned on the light..
"Nice, you can tell a man decorated it but it is nice, at least everything matches.." Chia teased.
"If I was not so wrecked I would probably have to teach you a lesson for bad mouthing my interior designing skills but since I am so tired I will have to issue you an I O U.." AJ grinned and pulled Chia in for a hug.
"How am I going to sleep knowing you are a room away from me.." AJ whispered in her ear as he buried his face in her hair.
"Will power, excercise your will power..." Chia pulled away and looked into AJ's eyes...She smiled and brushed her lips against his....the 2 exchanged kisses and said goodnight...
"I am right down the hall if you need me" AJ winked and blew a kiss
"Good night AJ." Chia laughed as she slipped into the pajama bottoms and wife beater AJ had given to her to sleep in...
She turned off the light and crawled into bed. She tossed and turned for about an hour, unable to get comfortable. She padded down the hardwood floor hallway and opened the door to AJ's room. She walked quietly over to the bed and watched him sleep. He snored softly and he appeared to be sleeping deeply. Chia crawled to the foot of the bed and was soon fast asleep.

AJ was awoken to the ringing phone.."ugghhhh" he struggled to reach for the phone..."hellllooo"
"Oh AJ, did I wake you up?" Allie asked
"Who is this?"
"It's Allie, I am so sorry to wake you, it's just I need to talk to Chia...can you go and wake her for me?"
"Sure...just a minute" AJ placed the phone down on the duvet and went to get up when he saw Chia curled up in a ball at the foot of his bed...
"When did she move in here...and why is she at the foot of my bed." AJ crawled tot he foot of the bed and brushed her wild red curls from her face...Chia stirred...
AJ smiled as he watched her moan softly and turn onto her stomach trying to get comfortable..."Chia...Allie is on the phone...Chia.."
Chia squinted as she opened her eyes...and when she saw AJ's dishevled hair she started to laugh..
"Don't laugh, you aint no prize either.." AJ teased..."Allie is on the phone."
Chia picked up the phone "Hi Allie cat..what's up?" Chia asked using the nick name her sister despised..
" I slept in and I have to go to the library..i need you to come home and take Max to get groomed..."
"Okay, I will be there in 20 minutes.." Chia was in no mood to argue, she said goodbye and hung up the phone..
"I have to get home, Max is late for his grooming...Can you drive me home?' Chia smiled at AJ who was sprawled out on the bed...
"That depends....do I get a good morning wake up kiss?" He asked mischieviosly..
Chia smiled and crawled up to meet his lips...The two were in an embrace when the phone rang again...
"Let the machine pick up..." AJ thought to himself..They were startled when a familiar voice came on the machine...
"Chia get your ass off of AJ and get home..." Allie was laughing on the message.
AJ and Chia broke out laughing...
"She knows you too well." AJ smiled as he ran to get dressed.
