Sure enough I was right, about half way through the day as expected Cinder pretty much fell asleep only, she was still awake. If you know what I mean.

I watch Cinder pace back and forth in front of my desk, I don't understand why she thinks she can get an idea from walking back and forth. I get ideas by imagining that I am my father, which I know sounds kind of depressing but hey. It works.

"Got any ideas yet Cinder?"

Cinder turns to me looking like she is going to glare but then sinks into the chair across from my looking pained and frustrated. She lets out a groan. 

"I take that as a 'no'."

She rests her head against the desk and groans again, "I'm not tired but I want to go to sleep."

"Mmm mm mm," I hum, shaking my head just like how my mother used to do to me, "This wouldn't be happening if you had just listened to me."

When she doesn't make a sarcastic comment back I pat her  head which I  guess could be considered.....strange. But, it's very unlike Cinder not to retort. 

I reach forward again shaking he shoulder.

She sits up so fast I nearly let out a scream, nearly. She clears her throat and looks at me her eyes still drooping, "Sorry what were you saying?"

"I was saying come here." Well that's not exactly what I was telling her but she's tired and it's not like I was trying to tell her something important.

She frowns, "Excuse  me?"

"Just come over here," I scoot my chair away from the table beckoning here to come to me. If she is going to sleep she might as well be comfortable and like I have been trying to tell her, it is more comfortable to snuggle with me than by yourself. 

Cinder pushes down on the desk to stand up and she makes her way around the desk to me. "I'm here."

I nod, "Good, now sit down."

"I'm not you're dog."

"Sit on my lap Cinder."

Cinder yawns streching her arms up above her head, "Isn't Torin going to get mad?"

"Mm hm, mm hm," I smirk leaning back in my chair, "And do tell Cinder my dear when you cared that Torin cared."

She grumbles, "Fine but if he gets mad at you it was your idea."

I nod, holding my arms open, "As long as you get your sleep and stop being grumpy I don't care."

"Hey," She whines lowering herself into my lap.

I press as kiss onto her lips once she gets comfortable, "Am I wrong?"

"Very," Cinder mutters as she rests her cheek down on my shoulder and nuzzles her face into the crook of my neck. 

As soon as I am sure she has fallen alseep I scoot back into my desk and start back on my work.

Sorry that was so short, Oh yeah and I need a chapter name so if you have any ideas don't be afraid to comment them
