To say that it surprised Lola when Caleb held his arms out to her would have been an understatement. However, there was something oddly comforting about being so close to him. With her cheek settled against his strong chest, she could feel him breathing. As she allowed her eyes to close, a rather surreal feeling spread through her. She wasn't sure what it was exactly, but she knew that she liked it. It made her feel calm. Calm and safe, and for the first time, the young woman actually believed what he said.

[i]"I'm just tired."[/i]

When a soft sigh escaped her flushed pink lips, she made no attempt to move. She was tired. Weeks, months, even years of stress was enough to finish off even a level headed person, let alone a scatterbrain like Lola. She was absolutely exhausted, physically and emotionally. Not to mention fed up to the back teeth with it all. As Caleb rubbed her back, she felt a satisfied sorta' sleepy. 

It was a bizarre moment. Standing in a kitchen, cuddled up against a guy that she'd only met a couple of days ago. Needless to mention, a guy that she had actually seen cave in a mans skull because he crossed him, and crazily, she felt totally at peace with it. Normally, she would have run a mile. Any indication of a real tangible emotion sent her running for the hills in a cold sweat  since breaking up with Jack. Not now though, this time it was a little bit different.
