Waking up on the right side of the Sofa

Who: Eve and Chris
Where: Eve's room
When: The morning after
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chris awoke to find himself still on Eve’s bed with a sleeping beauty rapped tightly in his arms, he smiled to himself, (that was the best nights sleep I think I’ve ever had) he thought to himself.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A thought flashed through his mind...
'We didn't get up to any mischief last night, did we?'
He ran the events of the night over in his head.
'We came back here, there was a lot of kissing, then we... talked.'
Chris gave a sigh of relief. "Whew, I mean I like her heaps, but I'm not quite ready to go that far..." He said aloud.
Eve was woken up by Chris' voice. "How far?" She asked, sleepily. She'd been dreaming about Chris through the night, but having him there, with his arms around her made it seem all that more real. Waking up with Chris right there was like the perfect ending.
"Never mind. Did you sleep well?" Chris whispered to Eve.
Eve nodded and snuggled into his chest; the power of words seemed quite primitive compared to a simple touch.
"How about we go and get your gear from the promenade today." Chris whispered into Eve's ear.
"Uh huh." Said Eve, whose level of consciousness had just reached a point of comprehension.
Chris glanced down toward his feet where Ares had curled up to sleep, but at this moment was yawning and stretching it's front paws out before relaxing and folding them neatly underneath it's body.
"I never want this moment to end." Chris said, stroking Eve's hair.
"Neither do I, but," While still lying against Chris, Eve turned her head to see Chris' face, "We," she said in a playful voice, "have jobs to do."
"Damn." Said Chris, who started to get up, still holding Eve tightly.
Chris felt an itch on his head, he wanted to scratch it, but that would mean removing his arms from Eve.
"Damn that cheap hair colour." He cursed under his own breath.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just have to have a shower. This black stuff I put through my hair is really annoying. I think it might have contained Poison Ivy or something."
"Well, go and have a shower. Don't let me stop you."
Chris released his grip, but only after giving Eve a big cuddle. He slid out from under Eve and headed for the shower.
"Don't follow me..." He said jokingly
"Don't worry, I don't want to get black dye all over me." Eve said, stroking Ares.
 
<A while later>
 
Chris emerged from the shower wearing the clothes he'd arrived with, but his smoky orange hair was a definite sign that he couldn't get all of the colour out.
"Ok, so what are we going to buy today?" He said, still drying his hair with a towel he'd found and turning the towel cloudy grey.
"Stuff..." Eve said, kissing Chris. "Is that your natural hair colour?" She enquired.
"Yes, well actually it's a bit lighter."
"I like it..." Said Eve, kissing him again.
 
<Jenni, you know what to buy, so let's buy it...>
