Alice glanced at her watch and noticed how late it really was.  She had an early day tomorrow and decided that rest would be her best option.  Not tonightI have a deadline so I need some shut eye.  She watched Shane advert her eyes as her face fell.  Heyyou going to be okay? 

Cursing herself for showing Alice her disappointment.  Shane forced a grin on her face Yeah!  I was actually distractedurmwhat did you say? 

She didnt buy Shanes aloofness, but decided against pushing it.  She knew Shane was thinking about her nightmares, and Alice had noted that she didnt seem to have them as often if Alice stayed with her till she fell asleep.  Shane Alice looked up at Shanes green eyes.  If you ever want to talk to me aboutanythingI wont judge youand if you ever need me for something, tell meanything, no matter how stupid or mundane you may think it is.  Alice gathered up her courage and decided to breach the subject that had been on her mind for the last few weeks.  She cupped her hands around Shanes and forced the girl to look at her.  If you need someone to stay with until you are asleep  She felt Shane starting to pull away, and saw the quivering look on her face.  Alice gently turned her face back toward her.  or even afterI would consider it an honor and privilege!  She grinned trying to lighten the moment besides I need a boost to my ego!

Shane took in the gravity of the conversation, and cursed her self for being so obvious.  Why couldnt she have just gone to bed, instead of causing this embarrassing scene before her?  She was such a ***** child, always making Alice go out of her way for her.  God why am I so selfish?  This woman has done everything for me and here I am begging for morefuck it McCutcheon time to put on your game face.  She straightened her body and grinned wickedly at Alice.  Are you trying to get me to sleep with you Alice?  She wiggled her eyebrows Ill have you knowI may appear to be easy, but you need a better line than that to get me in the sackeven I have standards!  She turned on her heels and made her way toward the couch calling backward Good night Al!
