“Hey…” He set the beer down and folded his arms across his chest, giving her a thoughtful look, head cocked to one side. “I’m not going anywhere. If you need to rest then take all the time you need, I’ve plenty to keep me occupied out here.” He blinked, stunned by her sudden proximity as she leaned over his shoulder to get a good look at what he was doing. Or attempting to do. “Mhm. I was supposed to have gotten through these by now but” he shrugged, watching her rub her tired eyes and momentarily forgetting what he was drivelling on about. “Things keep cropping up. Getting in the way. Life gets in way.” She was beautiful. Even all banged up like she was. Even half asleep. His mouth went dry at the thought and a part of him hated himself for thinking it but it was very difficult to control the direction of your thoughts when a beautiful, young woman was pressed up against you, her breath ghosting over your cheek. Not that Abby knew what she was doing to him. He doubted she did.<br/><br/>Matthew growled and threw his hands up in the air. “That again? I am not trying to get in your pants. If I was, you would sure as hell know it by now. And stop flirting with me. I’m staying home tomorrow because I need a personal health day and I have to shop. That’s it.” He shot her a petulant look and closed his laptop over, figuring that the assignments could wait another night to be marked.<br/><br/>Following her over to the couch he sat and tugged her feet into his lap leaning his head back against the top of the couch and letting out a small sigh. “I don’t know. There’s no easy answer to that. I wanted to? That’s all I’ve got until I figure it out for myself.” He lay his head back and turned slightly to watch her fuss over the remote and the food. Amused, he closed his eyes and pointed towards the cabinet under the wide screen television. “Movies. Don’t expect to find any Rom-Coms in there if that’s what you’re into. It’s mostly Action. Marvel. Documentaries. That kind of thing. And here.” Reaching over his head, he grabbed the house phone and held it up for her to see. “House phone. A wonderful new invention you should try. Won’t cost you anything.”<br/><br/>Closing his eyes once more he patted the couch beside him. "Now come back here."
