When we finally pulled back, we were both slightly gasping.  I didn't think it was that long but I don't think so now. 

I left my eyes closed and put my head on his shoulders.  He has always been tall.

"I told you I'm not a killer." He whispered close to my ear.  My body shook as I laughed.  It turned into chuckles and eventually into a sigh.  There was a second of silence and then he said, "Come with me."

I finally opened my eyes and looked up at him.  My brows raised into a question.  

"Tomorrow. Come home with me."

"What?"

"Christmas Eve. Spend it with me." 

"I can't do that."

"Why not?"

I paused. One, because the only reason I really have is that we don't know each other really well and I know he'd shot that donwn faster than I can finish the sentence.  And two, because I do want to spend more time with him. 

"Okay."
