Babe

Pete grins and grabs the remote. "Sounds good to me. I wanna know what happens, too."

Settling back while keeping Nikki in his lap, no more is said regarding their affections, but it's okay. Maybe there were some questions, but as far as Pete was concerned, he would learn as he went and not worry so much about the whys of it all...

...Pete's eyes crack open and roam the room that seemed to be familiar, but it didn't feel like where he was supposed to be. There was light coming in through a window... sort of a warm glowing light, resembling that of the morning sun.

Pete's eyes fly all the way open. Morning. "Oh crap."

Throwing off the blanket that he didn't even remember being there, he realizes that Nikki had been snuggled up with him, apparently all night. He didn't really remember the end of the movie - they'd watched the ending again but he'd been so weary and comfortable, that things after that got a bit foggy. Why hadn't Nikki woken him to go home?

Sitting up, he gently rouses Nikki as well, trying not to jostle her around too much, but knowing he needed to be quick about getting home. It was almost seven and he was going to be late for work.

"Nikki..." He pushes her hair from her face. "C'mon, Babe, wake up. Sorry."

Getting her to sit up on her own, he bends down to locate his sneakers before slipping them on, still half asleep and hardly able to tie his laces. Yawning, he tries to wake up. "I'm gonna be late..." Turning around, he givers Nikki's lips a quick kiss. "Call me later."


As promised, Leo arrives at the little studio right on time. He's just as glad no one else is around at the moment... He looked better than he had earlier in the day - a little more alert and his eyes a little brighter - but he still looked like a truck ran over him. At least he'd changed into his everyday jeans and a better t-shirt.

Getting inside, he glance around, walking slowly with one arm tucked around his sore ribs. "Cass?" he calls, "You ready for lunch?"
