Alex yawned... She slept on the couch.... Again, bad habit but it was still hard to transition from RV bed to real bed, it was just to soft... Speaking of soft, what the fuck was she hugging? Opening her eyes, she looked up into the sleeping form of a bear and promptly fell off the couch.
The bear slowly opened its eye and yawned before shifting into Chris. "Morning."
Alex was so fucking confused. "Did we fuck?" Was her first question.
"No, you complained you had nothing to hug, so I offered bear form and you fell asleep hugging me."
Alex took a deep breath. "Good good.... And you are here because?"
"Study session, school is out because of the wild fires, but no excuse to slack, you invited me over to help with history and natural sciences." He said.
It all came back to Alex, the late night study session, her collapsing on the couch, wanting her teddy bear but to tired to go upstairs, Chris offering his bear form.... Her face was red, they weren't even dating and she slept next to him... Did that make her a slut? No sex was needed for that.
Alex sighed. "I guess I owe you breakfast then..." She got up off the floor and sniffed herself. "Shower first, I smell like an animal."
She shuffled upstairs, swinging by her room to get fresh clothes when she spied Joel coming out of his room. "Had a late night guest did we?" He asked.
Alex threw up her hands. "No hanky panky happened, just good old fashion wholesome hugging."
He chuckles. "He's a good kid, just don't break his heart, his mother terrifies me." He said heading down stairs.
Alex blushed again a s she walks into the shower, washing the smell of bear off her... What was she and Chris? Boyfriend and Girlfriend? No, felt to early for that... But then romance movies built relationships off less than what they had... Her mind whirled as she washed, taking time with her hair, half a shaved head did not mean she let the other half go wild.
Fresh and clean, she walked down stairs, pausing as she heard Joel and Chris talk.
"So plans for my daughter?" Joel asked.
Chris looked thoughtful. "Date? See where it goes from there? I think she likes me."
Alex collapsed on the stairs, blushing hard, he liked her? As in "Like" liked her?
She sat there, zoning out from the rest of the conversation till Jess came down the stairs, kicking her lightly. "Move." The red head said.
Alex got to her feet, took a deep breath and headed down the rest of the stairs.
