She rolled over in his bed and moved closer to his sleeping form. She felt his arm tighten around her, and she sighed softly as she opened her eyes. She was still tired as she came out of her sleep, but for a moment she felt like watching him.
Jay couldn't place it exactly in her head when they met or when they started spending more time together. She just knew it had been a long string of weeks after weeks, and she was enjoying herself. Hard not to really. He was good looking, great in bed, and...sweet.
Her finger reached out to move against his jaw lightly.
She never tried to be one way or another. Especially not when she was with a guy. At the same time, though, she knew there was a line. And most guys were either gone way before the line, or when the line came up - and she held it firmly - they took off. Took off while leaving her with the blame.
She studied his face closely while he slept. The shadow of scruff around his mouth, his lips, his eyelashes.
They'd both agreed that they didn't know what it was they were doing together. Things had been simple and fun for the most part since they had met. She was good with that. Simple was good. Simple was easy.
She hated complications. She hated the way people looked at her when they thought that maybe, instead of her just being Jay, maybe she was damaged. Maybe she was broken and angry and hateful. She didn't like that there had to be a reason for who she was. So far it seemed Danny liked her the way she was. She was happy to be in that place with him. Happy to enjoy it. Until the time came that he too would look for excuses for who she was.
Her finger moved against his cheek.
They weren't there yet, and she hoped it'd be awhile.
She tilted her mouth to his and kissed his lips softly.
