Val eventually finished the bed frame and sat back, satisfied. She checked the clock and frowned, noting that it was one in the morning. * * * His lips found hers and he smiled. "Ten."
She watched him leave affectionately before attempting to hoist the mattress onto the bed frame. * * * "Damn straight. I'm full of energy."
Val managed to pull the mattress on, breathing heavily with the effort. She slipped off her shirt, revealing a black tank top, but she paused, looking back towards the door, conflicted. Her hand rested on her hip where her tattoos peeked out from the waist of her jeans and she frowned before sighing, changing into a pair of pajama bottoms and heading to Landon's room.
She crawled into bed next to him, fitting with his frame perfectly, her cold feet brushing his leg. * * * "No. From kissing you."
She ran her fingers through his air soothingly. "Sleep, okay? sleep now." * * * "Even though we do it quite often as is."
