A smile tugged at the corners of Helen's lips as he explained the meaning of the neck tattoo, it would be a shame to make a mistake there. After a moment she laughed as her hand reached out to take the cloth wrapped ice. She held it for a moment as her gaze looked to the book on his lap. Eric was a suprising man she half expected him to be reading motorcycle magazines or working on one. She frown slightly as she stared, perhaos longer then she should have but she couldn't help how amazed and suprised she was.  After a moment she pressed her arms into the bed and scooted back while kicking her shoes off.<br/><br/>"You are a suprising man. Iam sorry for judging you earlier tonight."<br/><br/>She had told him that before at the bar but it didn't seem to cover exactly how sorry she was by assuming. Once her back pressed into the pillows she lowered her head down into them while bringing the ice up to her eye. Helen was tired but she was worried.<br/><br/>"You don't think he followed me when we left, do you?"<br/><br/>Clearly her question was a sign to ow nervous and worried she was but he could easily hear the  sleepy notes in her words. She was trying so hard to stay awake.<br/><br/>"How long will you be here?"<br/><br/>The question had almost a double meaning as her eyes closed. Her left hand tucked up under her head while holding the ice to her eye. Her lips pressed together as she rested there curling her legs up close to her body, like that she appeared smaller then what she really was.<br/><br/>"If you get uncomfortable you can lay in the bed... but if you try anything funny I will have to kick you over the side of the bed."<br/><br/>The words were spoken sleepily with a smile cause much like Eric she knew she didn't have enough power anywere in her body to do it.
