Clean-up on aisle 12 (Roy/Open)

[Kirsty Pattinson]

Kirsty buried her head into his chest, her fingertips softly caressing the skin. She couldn't help but smile to herself, at that precise moment she was happier than she had been in a long time. She knew that it would come to an end, as all good things do, but she wouldn't let it go down without a fight.

As she thought about what had passed between them, she found herself trembling, merely the thought of it was enough to create a strong sense of emotion within her. Lifting her head she planted a brief kiss to his throat as a sign of affection. She wanted him to know the truth.

But what is the truth?

Kirsty didn't know the answer herself. She knew that this had meant something to her, it wasn't until that moment that she realised just how much. But she knew she couldn't do it, she couldn't feel that way for him yet. She'd never fallen for someone completely before so the thought of it terrified her. It wasn't so much the fact that she would care for him, that to her seemed like a good thing, no... a great thing. The only thing that scared her was the fact that he would never be able to care for her.

[Roy Atenwood]

Roy smiled, again relishing the feel of her soft, silky lips on his skin. She could see the ink on his chest along with his scar plainly now, and it hadn't scared her away. Something scared him, though, and that was how quickly he was developing feelings for her. He had always been told he tended to fall in love easily, but he hadn't noticed before now. He was quickly developing feelings he shouldn't have already had.

And it terrified him, to an extent. He had responsibilities to his family, of course, but they weren't as important as living his life. Or so his fater told him. He snuggled up to her, kissing her forehead gently.

I wonder how I did......She...seemed to know what she was doing....

Roy stroked her cheek tenderly with his left hand,running his right through her hair. Nothing on earth could ruin this moment for him.

He simply didn't want the moment to end. And for him, it didn't, as he slowly drifted off to sleep in her arms. At that particular moment, he only cared about being in her arms.

[Kirsty Pattinson]

As Roy began to fall asleep, Kirsty found herself unable to look away from him. She was mesmorised, her fingertips lightly sliding over his bottom lip. In her mind replayed the events from earlier, she remembered how his skin had felt against hers, when he'd touched her, when he'd been inside her.

She felt her body begin to tremble, remembering how her name had softly come from his lips, how his had been moaned fervently by her. Her eyes were trained on his, his hand sliding down her chest. Her nails digging into his back.

Wow...

Leaning back on her pillows, she closed her own eyes. The pain and exhaustion from taking their relati-... Wait! What were they? The truth was she had no idea what was going on. She knew she felt something for him and he obviously liked her but they weren't official yet. What if that was all he wanted?

What if I get my heart broken again...?
