The bed was warm... perfect...

Pressing back against the strong mass behind her, the feeling of arms wrapped around her body a comfort she hadn't enjoyed now for quite some time, Zoe lifted her arm up. Hugging his tighter against her body, and when she felt it slipping away, a soft whimper of protest fell from her lips. It was way too early in the morning to be thinking about getting up. Groaning softly, she instead wrapped her arms around the pillow she was using, hugging it closer to her as she curled up further under the thick and heavy doona and blankets that covered her mattress.

Stirring back to life after a few minutes longer, she opened her eyes. Staring at the wall of the master bedroom they had commandeered as their own, she eventually turned over onto her back. Her head continuing to roll as she let her dark gaze flick up to the figure that seemed to be trying to slip away from her.

[color=RosyBrown]"..trying to leave me already, are you..?"[/color]

Surprised, Chris turned from his seat at the edge of the bed to look back at Zoe, letting his gaze linger for a moment before answering. He figured he probably didn't need to be embarrassed anymore.

[color=mediumorchid]"Um, I just thought I should get an early start if I'm going to be moving in over here. I have a lot of supplies I need."[/color] Looking down at the shirt he was holding, still covered in paint, he added [color=mediumorchid]"Plus I need some changes of clothes."[/color]

Sitting herself up, the sheet falling down her body to rest over her lap, Zoe scooted closer to him over the bed. Her chest pressing flush against his back as she let her arms wrap around his torso from behind. Her lips meeting bare flesh as she pressed a soft kiss against his shoulder. She understood. There was so much that needed to be done; and it was one hell of a big change for all of them. Within the space of a few hours during the night; the three of them had become some strange little family without barely a tie to one another asides from the fact that they were all alone, and wanted to help each other out in some way.

[color=RosyBrown]"..I get it... just wish I could help..."[/color]

Chris gently brought his hand up to caress her arm, leaning gently into her. It had been longer than he could remember since he had felt anything like this, and part of him wanted to ignore the coming day and simply stay here, enjoying the proximity. Still, after what felt like an eternity crammed into a few seconds, he decided he needed to get a move on. He turned his head to press a kiss to Zoe's temple, then stood, gently breaking the circle of her arms.

[color=mediumorchid]"I'll be back before too long, I'm just getting the essentials for now. I'm sure you and the little one have things you need to talk about anyway."[/color]

Finishing getting dressed, he moved to the door, pausing there to gaze back at her.

[color=mediumorchid]"I'm... glad I met you two. God that sounds dumb now that I've said it.[/color]

Arms falling from his person and back to the mattress as he stood up, eyes still closed, lingering still in the moment where his lips had been against her forehead, Zoe regretfully opened them. Forcing herself back to the present before his words had her smiling. A soft chuckle falling from between her lips, [color=RosyBrown]"..your right; and it's fine... besides, if it helps, I'm glad stumbled into my life..."[/color]

[color=mediumorchid]"At least I didn't go that cheesy."[/color] 

Chris stuck his tongue out at Zoe as he walked out of view, chucking to himself.

Cheesy... [i]Cheese[/i]. His words striking her like a ton of bricks, Zoe fell back over the now otherwise empty bed with a groan, [color=RosyBrown]"Fuck... that reminds me; still need to order groceries..."[/color]
