Chloe slowly sat up and rested her back against the wall, gently massaging her sore muscles.

"How was the floor?" Amy asked as soon as she realised that Chloe was awake.

"Not too bad." Chloe said sleepily, yawning as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Did you have a think about what I said last night?" Amy asked.

"No I didn't, I slept." Chloe lied quickly, choosing not to mention the hours that she'd spent tossing and turning, unable to decide what she should do for the best. She glanced at the bed, smiling slightly when she saw that Lee was still fast asleep. Her heart plummeted when she suddenly remembered that her and Amy were going home tomorrow and today was her last opportunity to spend some time with Lee before she left. She swallowed the lump that was rising in her throat at the thought of saying goodbye to him. Chloe jumped when her phone beeped, notifying her that she had a text. She sighed when she glanced at the display and saw that it was from Martin.

"Oh for god sake." Chloe muttered under her breath when she read the message.

"What is it?" Amy frowned.

"Martin wants me to stay over at his house next weekend." Chloe sighed.

"Oooh." Amy giggled, turning over to face Chloe and wiggling her eyebrows at her.

"He's obsessed with getting me to stay over." Chloe said, rolling her eyes, before quickly putting down her phone.

"He's obviously really into you." Amy said, smiling slightly. Chloe nodded and fell silent. Amy watched her closely, feeling slightly sorry for her when she noticed how much inner turmoil Chloe was in. She clearly had no idea what to do for the best.

"Who's better in bed, between Martin and Lee?" Amy giggled, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.

"Amy!" Chloe exclaimed.

"It's just an innocent question." Amy laughed. Chloe rolled her eyes, glancing at Lee and wincing slightly when she locked eyes with him.

"How long have you been awake?" Chloe squirmed.

"Long enough." he said, smiling slightly at her coloured cheeks.

"We're still waiting for an answer though." he chuckled.

"You'll be waiting a while." Chloe said, smiling slightly as her cheeks coloured even further.

"I reckon that means it's me." Lee chuckled, sitting up in bed and locking eyes with Amy. Amy nodded and burst out laughing.

"How come you are sleeping on the floor?" he asked Chloe, when he turned his attention back to her and finally noticed.

"Well, where else was I supposed to sleep?" Chloe frowned.

"You could have had half of the double bed." he told her.

"I did tell her that you wouldn't mind." Amy piped up, wiggling her eyebrows at Lee.

"That's not the point, it's inappropriate." Chloe pointed out. Lee nodded slowly, a small smile playing on the corner of his lips when he realised that Chloe hadn't stated that she didn't want to sleep beside him, but instead said that it was inappropriate.

The three of them fell silent when Chloe's phone beeped yet again. She sighed, not even wanting to pick up her phone. She couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed that Martin had spent most of the past three weeks, trying to get her into bed with him, being in Lee's presence had reminded her once again how it felt to be valued for more than just her body.

"It's Martin again." Amy said, as she leaned over and picked up Chloe's phone.

"He's sent some pictures." she added thoughtfully.
