Apartment 6B

[Ion]

Alison's apartment wasn't anything flashy. It was a large studio apartment. The kitchen and a small table was at one end, and at the other she had a small living area set up with an old looking couch that was actually a pull out bed, a decently sized TV, and a few over sized chairs. In the far corner there was a full sized bed on a simple bed frame.

The whole place looked king of sparce, but then again, she didn't spend a whole lot of time at home. Rarely did people come over, but the place was clean.

Colin looked over the apartment, "Noice," he said quite sincerely.

[Ion]

Alison shrugged, "It's cheap, large, and quiet for the most part. Couldn't ask for more." She said as she plopped down in one of the over sized chairs and sighed. She forgot how comfy they were at time.

Colin stood there looking pathetic, waiting to be invited to sit.

[Ion]

"Would you sit down already? Do I have to invite you in like a damned vampire or something?" Alison asked as she watched him.

[Stalker]

Unsure of how to respond, Colin took off his coat, hung it on the back of one of the chairs and sat down. He looked around, uncomfortable, unsure of what he was supposed to be doing.

Alison slipped off her shoes and lifted her feet off the floor and curled up in the chair and watched Col for a moment before speaking again, "Ya know, for someone so keen on screaming in the park, you sure are quiet here."

[Stalker]

"Ah'm jes tired is all," Colin said, rubbing his eyes, "An' ah think ah'm star'in tae sobber uop."

"Well, that couch pulls out. Full sized bed and all. Already has a clean sheet. There drinks in the fridge. Water, juice, milk, and I think a case of some beer or other. Bath room is down the hall, and that's about it for the grand tour." She yawned slightly.

[Stalker]

Colin took that as giving him free range of the kitchen... perhaps not the wisest choice on Alison's part, but she was new, she had no way of knowing that. Colin rose from his seat and wandered into the kitchen. Serveral minutes later, by some miracle he returned not with booze but rather and large glass of water, which he was chugging down.

[Ion]

And he returned to find alison's chair empty, though her shoes were stilla t the base of the chair. Alison had figured he would be fine so she decided it was time to pass out, and let the poor guy get some sleep. She needed some too.

She had pulled on an oversized forest green hooded sweatshirt and curled up on her bed. She hadn't bothered with a blanket, but she had her back to the room, facing the wall. She wasn't quite asleep yet, but was well on her way.

[Stalker]

Colin set down his glass and stared at her for a few seconds. Heaving a sigh, he moved over to the couch and pulled out the bed inside. He finished off his glass of water then sat down at the end of the pull-out. He undid his boots and tossed them to the side. Standing, he undid his belt and tossed it next to his boots. He then climbed onto the pull-out, snuggling beneath the blankets.

[Ion]

Alison heard the creaking of the pullout being used and rolled over slightly to watch him get into it. Well, he was playing it safe. She yawned and pulled her pillow closer to her.

[Stalker]

Several hours later, Colin started awake, which was odd, since from what he could recall he hadn't done that since he was a kid. Speaking of things he hadn't done since he was a kid, Colin had to go to the bathroom.

He emurged from the bathroom a few moments later, disoriented, waiting for his eyes to re-adjust to the dark. His eyes fell to Alison's sleeping form. He could hear her soft breathing and he could smell her even from there. She was so nice to him. Why was she so nice?

Colin wandered over to the edge of her bed. Her back was to him as he peered over at her face. She was pretty too. He touched her shoulder gently, then, his hand moved up to move her hair from her face. Next thing Colin knew he was snuggling onto the bed with her.

[Ion]

Alison, not normally a coustomed to someone coming into her bed late at night, stirred slightly and scooted away for a moment before rolling over and opening on eye to find Colin in her bed. She blinked and looked at him for a moment, very confused before she let it go and readjusted her pillow.
