Her socks were on the floor (mmm, she was barefoot) next to a pair of jeans (mmm, was she in her underwear?), a sloppy pile of books sat in front of t...e coat closet, her laptop laying next to them. I could see my jar of peanut butter on the kitchen counter, the top not even on it, the knife she’d used sitting next to it, probably stuck to the damn counter by now. On the coffee table, there must have been forty bottles of nail polish spread out, in no order whatsoever. Jesus, it was too much.. I pushed off for the light, where two others of our team were already there. I had pushed off a little too hard, and found myself moving very quickly, for a very hard wall.Cursing as I hit, the other two grabbed me. They helped me attach myself to the wall, with the sticky tape. Soon, the entire group was around us.Kostalonance made a soft push off, as he secured the last of the ties of the stasis transport. With a simple twist, he landed boots down, on the wall. I envied his skill in zero gee.. ‘I’m so tired. Why is travelling so tiring?’‘I don’t know. It’s just what happens,’ he sighed. ‘Want to nap?’‘Absolutely. Let’s get up in time for supper?’‘Yep.’We washed each other carefully, taking some time to wallow in the hot water to ease our aching muscles. Jason played with my wet hair, humming softly.Disregarding clothes, we dried mostly, towelling our hair and pulling back the covers.‘It feels so good to lie down,’ I moaned, putting my arms around my stomach as Jason settled in beside. " Gee that's too bad" I said, keeping my mouth on her breast."James you don't understand, he was going to be Santa tonight. Mr. Bowman wants me to come up with a new Santa."All of a sudden, the warning lights went on in my head."Don't tell me..."She pulled me back to her breast, holding my face against her and stroking my hair."Yes James, I want you to play Santa for us tonight. If you do a good job, I will give you a special present when we get home tonight."I put up a fuss, complaining about.
