When they exit the bar, Charlotte was still dazed by what John said and didn't even notice the 20-minute walk back to the cabin. He is still holding her hand when they reach the door. John finally lets her hand go as they enter the cabin. Charlotte turns on the lights and finally spoke.

"This is cozy,"

And then everything happens so fast Charlotte is totally surprised. John grabs both her arms with his big hands and looks directly into her eyes.

"Charlotte, I...."

They both stare at each. And then John's eyes look from her green eyes to her lips. Can this be happening? She thinks. They both stand there in silence and finally she decide to take a leap and gets up on her toes. She lightly brushes her lips over his and that seemed to be enough of a signal for him to take it further. He presses his lips against hers and Charlotte can't help but moan. John pulls away slightly and says.

"I have been wanting to do that since the first time I saw you when I woke up at the hospital."

And with that, her lips were back on his. He now added his hands to the side of her face and they kissed until they couldn't breathe. Charlotte stops kissing him first, takes a deep breath and leans her forehead against his.

"I know, me too." Charlotte whispers and turns red.

"Mmmm. There is that color."

John leans down and gives her a passionate kiss.

"Darling, shall we go to bed?"

"Um...I... um."

"I meant to sleep, of course. I would not pressure you do to anything you do not want. I understand we just met and I am not in the best frame of mind at the moment. It does not mean I do not what ,"it" to happen. Just maybe we wait a little."

"Phew" She looks up at him and giggles.

They both head to the bedroom. Charlotte grabs her gym bag and goes to the washroom to change. She slips on her GNR t-shirt and a pair of boy shorts. When she steps back out into the room, she noticed that John was already in bed and OMG he was not wearing a shirt. Charlotte has seen him without it before, but not in this context. She can't see what he is wearing under the blanket, but she can imagine. She did not pack him a pajama. She turns red and, of course, John notices.

"I can sleep on the couch if you are not comfortable with this."

"No!" she yells

"Sorry, I mean, no please stay, we both need a good night's sleep and you won't get any stuck on a couch."

"OK, then come here please," He says pleading

She climbs in and cuddles up to his side. He puts his arm around her and places a quick kiss on her hairline.

"Good night my Darling,"

"Good night John,"

A few hours later, Charlotte gets woken up by a screaming John. He seems to be having a nightmare. And his hands are glowing green.

"No! Frigga, please don't leave me!"

"John?"

He keeps trashing, his hand getting even brighter green.

"Thor! Please don't let him do this,"

"John! Wake Up!" Charlotte shakes John awake.

"What?" he yells. His hands stop glowing.

"John, take a deep breath. You were having a nightmare." She pulls him into her arms.

"I'm so sorry Char." She can see tears in his electric blue eyes.
