"Rise and shi-" I stopped, staring at Jake, whispering the last part, "-ne." I turned, blushing, going back out of the room. Jake followed me out.

"At least I'm not naked," Jake told me sleepily, making me stop and turn around. He was in his boxers, leaning against the doorway.

My eyes wandered over his body- he has a six pack- then back up to his face, to see him smirking at me.

"Like what you see?" Jake grinned.

I blushed. Trying to play it off, I shrugged. "Y'know, I've seen better."

Jake raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? We're gonna go there, aren't we?"

"Just kidding," I laughed. Giving his shoulder a little shove, I asked, "Aren't you affected or anything by your lack of clothing- and the fact that you're in front of me like that?"

Jake just shrugged. "Not really?"

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"Well... Why?"

Jake shrugged again, giving me a small smile. "I don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm really confortable around you."

"Yeah, well, right now, you aren't making me comfortable. Put on a shirt or something," I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll put a shirt on your butt," Jake retorted, grabbing my hand and pulling me into his room, closing the door.

"Uh... Actually, just... No comment. Anyway, why'd you bring me in here?" I asked, watching Jake.

He went back to the bed, throwing the blanket over him. Looking at me, he patted a spot on the bed right next to him. "C'mon!"

I tilted my head to the side a little. "Why?"

"It's 7 in the morning. Our flight is around 12, right? Well, I'm still tired. I want to go back to sleep. So come here."

"But why can't you just go back to sleep by yourself?"

"You woke me up. So you owe me."

I shook my head. "No, not really."

Jake gave me his puppy dog eyes. "Please?"

After staring at each other for a minute or two, I finally gave in. Trudging to the bed, I plopped myself on the spot next to Jake. I got under the blanket, pressing my back to Jake's chest and snuggling more into him. His arms automatically wrapped around my waist.

"Good?" I asked Jake.

"Very," Jake replied, a hint of a smile in his voice.

I yawned, stretching a little.

"See? Isn't this nice?" Jake asked me.

I nodded, feeling sleep start to overcome me.

"I love you, Lex," Jake whispered to me, placing a kiss on the top of my head. "Now sleep; I've got 'ya."

Before I fell asleep, I managed to murmur to Jake, "I love you too."
