Friday 12.5: and we go again...

[ten_sans_chips]

Loz said he'd meet Ten at L'Orinoco, so Ten had taken off, driving gently in the hopes of keeping CJ from startling awake. She might be upset that she'd drooled on her upholstery...

Chances were good that Loz would beat him there.

And Loz was there, parked by the elevators and leaning on his bike when Ten pulled into the parking garage. He pushed up and followed while Ten parked the car.

Once the engine was silent, Loz opened the passenger's side and gently lifted CJ out, stepping back so Ten could handle locking up the car again.

Her eyes fluttered and she looked up at him. "Did I crash again?" she murmured as she cuddled closer.

Nodding, Ten worked with Loz to close and lock the door while keeping CJ safe. He nodded to Harry the weekend doorman, who didn't bat an eye, and let them all into the private elevator.

Loz followed close behind Ten and smiled when CJ roused awake. "No. No crashing this time. Just too much to drink," he said softly.

To Ten. "Does she suffer from hangovers? You should make her work for this one."

[ten_sans_chips]

Ten smirked just barely. "Sometimes she does. I just can't decide if it's worth it, because she'll bitch like crazy if she does have one."

[lis_rouge]

Bits of words and phrases wormed their way through the fog in her brain and she tried to open her eyes and explain she did not, but her thoughts floated to something else entirely.

"Crazy. Psychotic. Allalalone." she mumbled.

Ten ran his hand over his face and looked at Loz, who looked back in a modded fashion. Both of them were completely bewildered.

"No, you're not, love," Ten whispered, as Loz stroked her hair. He took her towards the bedroom, and Ten kissed her forehead as he followed.

Going into the room where Ten indicated, Loz eased CJ onto the bed. He let his fingers stroke down her cheek for a brief moment before sitting back and letting Ten have a moment with his wife.

She jerked when he sat her down, the sensation of falling overwhelming. Instinctively she moved to drop her foot to the floor to make the room stop spinning, but when she couldn't reach it she mumbled something unitelligable and flung her arms out to grasp whatever she could.

Ten let her grab onto him tightly. "Shhh. Ma belle. Rest now. Loz and I are here, you'll be all right."
