And, an other night begins!

He smiles and slightly nods as she tells him she's ok with waking him up at the end of the movie. He frankly does not feel strong enough for showing her more of his gratefulness, although he feels relieved to the thought he will soon be able to have a rest, may it last only for a hour and a half.
As she stands up and goes to change her clothes, he looks at her and does not get one single second what she is doing. He thinks « what the hell ? The tapes and DVDs are not on that side, what is she doing ? » but he does not feel the strenght to open his mouth and articulate those words. It seems smarter to him simply awaiting for seeing what she will actually do, rather than wasting his energy on asking a pointless question. So he simply keeps his eyes on her until he figures out what she is planning to do. It only is once she goes into the bathroom with the different clothes she collected from his own personal collection that he understands she simply wanted to change the way she was dressed up. One day before he would have told her it was stupid being so shy, still she could try to prevent herself that way, but it was pointless since sooner or later they would come to see each other... Erm, « that » way, as they were married now. But tonight, feeling sleepy and even more with what had happened less than 24 hours before, he felt like « let it do, let it go ».
Actually, as Dawn was sleeping, he had decided to change his complete approach. He would no longer be pushy, trying to force her into some things, risking to lose her again and again. No, now he would let her come to him. That would take more time but he could not risk one other accident. Consequences would have been... terrible. So best he would have to keep all those instincts closed up into a box and let Dawn open that box by herself, chosing the pace.
Then she came back from the bathroom, giving him mixed feelings. On one side, her top was nearly not showing her curves anymore. So he would not feel tempted at all as long as he would keep his eyes on that part of Dawn. On the other side, she was significantly showing more of her legs. And he already knew situation would get at least a bit awkward if she would be sitting in front of him with Dawn wearing such a short dress. But still, he was feeling too tired for desiring to do anything else than sleeping so in the end, she could have chosen to wear the sluttest clothes ever, it would have not really changed Trent's behavior while the next hours.
Next, Dawn goes to pick up which movie she would like to watch. And while she is trying to fix her mind, Trent moves to the sofa, even though « moving » is not the exact right words for the way he reaches it, rather crawling than anything else. But still, since Dawn was turning him her back, she could not see how pathetic and exhausted he actually looked like.
He feels deeply curious to know which movie she would feel like watching and starts wondering what might most probably please her within the movies he owns. Then he realizes that most of these movies are not exactly what she might have alrleady seen. He made his proposition of watching a movie as he already felt caught by sleep and he only realizes now that maybe Dawn will get a bit afraid of most of his collection. Fortunately, most of the names of his porn collection got titles ambiguous enough for Dawn to imagine that they are... what they are not. Action movie, romantic ones, who knows ? But well, as long sas she does not start to call him « perverse », that's ok. Soon enough she will discover what they are, but certainly not tonight, after what happened the night before.
Finally she seems to have found something fitting her tastes and immedialy puts it in the DVD player. She does not tell Trent what it is, maybe she wants to keep him the surprise ? Suddenly, he feels a bit stressed. What if she decided to watch one of those movies with « ambiguous » titles, what woudl happen as she would understand that the movie got nothing to do with what she was expecting for ? He did not feel like having the energy to explain it, justify himself. So he prays for her to have picked up one of the « normal » movies he owns.
Finally, he very quickly guesses what the movie is and smiles. It's « Natural Born Killers ». Well, not too « hardcore » for Dawn but yet not too soft for Trent. A perfect choice, while she does not even know it. But Trent won't tell her as she would be curious to know what would have been a « bad choice » and then Trent would have been quite embarrassed...
She sits on the sofa, not too close to Trent. They clearly don't touch each other, not a shoulder against the other's, or else. And Trent won't come to look for that after Dawn since he decided to let her come to him. And, ultimately, he feels that he's falling asleep a few minutes only after the movie began.
At first, he tries to fight against it. Then, facing an enormous heacdache, he understands he simply does not have any other choice than surrending.
So, in a whisper, closing his eyes, he whispers :

« Sorry sweety....... »

And finally takes some rest.

Some times later, he shivers a bit and slightly moves, as a reaction to a weird sound. A "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn" which sounded too much familiar to his ears not to make him react at all. But then, immediatly after a kind of snort, while he did not even open his eyes, he falls back asleep.

He seems so vulnerable, so childish, so sweet. Dawn feels the need to be tender with him, and to take him in her arms but she doesn’t do it, he needs to sleep right now and not a wife with her stupid maternal instinct. She decides just to put a cover on him.

She really like the movie, well a little violent, bloody, makes her a little thirsty. A couple of monsters.
Two persons who lives together, forever and never, deeply in love, insanity in love. Dawn was touched by that, as everything seems to go wrong for them, they’re still in love of each other, want to feel the body of the lovers against hers or his. Maybe in the future they will be like Mallory and Mickey…Maybe.

As an old habit, she chews her sleeve, but this time her teeth are more strong and pointed. She realizes at the end of the movie that she damages it.

Now, she had to wake up Trent who’s deeply sleeping…Is she relay had to do that? Yes, he asks her for this! So she had to do it.
First, she just come closer to him and speaks like she was whispering.

-Trent? Honey, wake up…Come on baby, the movie was ending.

She winces when she sees that there’s no reaction, not a move, or a sigh or something else. Nothing.
She tries to tickles him…No reaction, he just push her away from him.

-Hum…How can I wake you up? I know!

She smiles and come once more closer to him, kiss him on the lips, just a smile…Well she can continue, this time she goes under the cover, maybe feels her on him would wake up him, kiss him a few times and then…give up.

* Well, he’s gonna woke up once he decides it…*

Dawn stays here, puts her arms around Trent waist and wait, her head on his chest and sigh.
