I looked down at my plate…it was empty, but I didn't want to stay up any longer.

“I'm going to bed too…I need to get this day over with.” I pushed myself up and almost fell over. Josh flashed to me and grabbed my arm helping me up.

“You know there is no way you are climbing those stairs.”

I didn't want to admit it, but he was right. He grinned and picked me up. I said good night to Theodore who had a big smile on his face. I looked at Josh.

“Thanks.” He had a crooked grin on his face.

He carried me upstairs and passed my bedroom.

“Ummm, my room on the left, you just missed it.”

“Oh, I'm collecting my favor,” he said.

“Oh my god, put me down now.”

“Its not what you think Rue… You"re just dirty.”

“Me?” I asked, completely shocked.

“I just thought you could sleep in my room tonight…just sleep.”

I looked at him, wondering what the punchline was, but nothing came, he just stood there.

“Oh,” I said.

“Rue, come on… It's not a lot to ask, in trade....for saving your life right?”

I sighed, low blow.

“Okay…just one night…and…”

He carried me in and laid me on the bed.

“I know, that is your side and this is mine...line right down the middle,” he said as he took off his shirt.

I pulled up the blanket and rolled over, away from him. He climbed into the bed.

“Rue?”

“What Josh?”

“You kicked all ass today…you really did.”

I rolled over and winced from my leg. “You think so?”

He reached out and brushed my hair behind my ear. “I do…”

I felt a little odd for not turning back over...away from him. “Can I ask you something Josh?”

“Sure…what?”

“Why have me sleep in here tonight...? I mean you could have waited and had me do anything for you in the next hundred years.” He rolled onto his back.

“Because this is all I wanted, just to sleep next to you tonight.”

“Huh…okay,” I said.

“If you don't think it's enough, you can take off your clothes or something.”

I hit him in the stomach and he doubled up laughing. I laughed too.

“Your an ass Josh.”

“Yea I know Rue... Trust me…I know.”

I rolled over and I felt his arm wrap around me.

“What happened to „my side, your side"?” I asked.

“Come on Rue…just let me spoon you.”

“Oh for crap sake... Fine…goodnight,” I said in protest.

“Good night Rue,” he whispered.
