Tick tock Tick tock.

Chrissy had been up for hours glaring at the stupid clock hanging on the wall, it was mocking her with all it's tick tocking.

Tick tock Tick tock.

Oh, she could see it now, she'd slowly go up to it and after a couple bangs against the wall and a few stamps on it she'd lovingly toss it out the window and she'd do it all with a smile on her face. Okay, so maybe she was overreacting a little...

Tick tock Tick tock.

Nope, maybe not.

A very scary grin appeared on her face as she slowly crept out of bed. Just image all the things she could do to the demon clock made her grin deepen, but then before her feet even touched the ground an arm snaked it away across'd her waist and pulled her into a very hard but very warm chest.

"Where are you going?" a soft deep yet half asleep voiced asked her.

Pouting at the man who was holding her back from her destiny of destroying the clock from hell, she buried her head into his chest and mumbled.

"What was that?" he asked amusement laced his voice.

She moved her head around so she wasn't as muffled but it didn't make much of a difference, "....couldn't sleep.....clock.....murder...."

Chuckling he asked her once more.

Sighing Chrissy leaned back and looked up into the eyes of her lover, " I said I couldn't sleep, that stupid clock wouldn't stop with it ticking. I swear it was mocking me! It was all Tick tock Tick tock, look at me I'm a clock! well, I've bloody well had it with stupid ticking clocks!" She huffed turning her head to glare at the grinning clock which was still ticking.

Damn that thing.

Laughter rumbled from deep within his chest, he tighten his arms around her and buried his face in her neck. She pouted "it's not funny!"

Still chuckling he placed a kiss upon her neck "Sweetheart, it's a clock it's not mocking you."

"But it is!" She all but whined "it's not like you would know, you've been sleeping peacefully." she pouted laying her head where his heartbeat was, it's soft thump thump slowly starting to lure her to sleep.

This sound was way better then that clock.

With a smile upon his face Roberto ran his fingers through her hair. Softly he started to hum a song to her to help her sleep, she shifted in her half asleep state and mumbled "I love you..."

He smiled and kissed the top of her head "I love you too."

.......

Tick tock Tick tock.

.......

"If you really love me you'd get rid of that clock."

He chuckled "all right sweetheart."
