So Cold.
Prologue.
The room was buzzing as the evening drew on, despite the heavy rain outside everyone in the room was in high spirits, she leant on the bar, now sticky with the spills from other peoples glasses and rubbed her temples, she wasn't sure if she could handle another drink, her head was beginning to spin and she had only broken in to one of the several twenties she had stashed in her purse, she glanced around the room at the happy faces and turned back to her empty glass, a warm hand on her shoulder made her turn around quickly,
"Enjoying your evening?"
She nodded slightly and smiled up at her father, she enjoyed the end of season parties but they began to bore her, he put a reassuring arm around her shoulders and squeezed her slightly,
"You done a brilliant job this season, Cas would be proud"
She giggled
"Dad seriously stop referencing your character and go and mingle or something"
He smiled and walked away from her soon getting lost in the bustle of the crowd.
She turned back to her glass chewing the inside of her cheek and thinking deeply, how could her life have changed so much? just last year she was wondering what to do with her self in terms of employment and goals now she was playing the trigger happy daughter of an angel in a far fetched tv series, she sighed deeply when did Lily Collins become a household name, her every move under scrutiny from the media, that was something she was still coming to grips with and still cringed violently when a bitchy magazine writer commented on her "lazy style" or her "gaunt features", a glass being put in front of her caused her body to jolt from shock,
"Woah!" a friendly voice chirped from next to her "calm down princess I only got you a drink!"
She turned to see Jensen's smiling face beaming at her, his words slurring slightly, a sure fire sign that he had way too much to drink,
"Thanks but no thanks"
She muttered pushing the long thin glass away from her
"No drink it you deserve it!, plus my drinking buddies have gone home I need a new one!"
"My dad is over there" she looked around the room confused "Where's Danneel?"
"She went home, she missed JJ and plus He's boring I like you, you've got some real balls!"
She rolled her eyes and drained the glass in just a few mouthfuls, a warm glow ignited in her stomach as he smiled back at her proudly.
***********
She cough loudly and rubbed her sore eyes as she rolled on to her back, she lay still for a few seconds attempting to piece together the fragmented memories she had of the night before, a dull ache in her head demanding her attention causing her to groan and sit up slowly, she dragged her hair out of her face as she looked around the room absorbing her surroundings, she sighed as she became aware of her lack of clothes and the presence of someone else in the bed, she turned to her left glancing down at the masculine figure laying next to her, his identity masked by the duvet, she reach towards him slowly pulling the duvet back off of his face, her body clammed up and her heart rose in to her mouth, sleeping naked next to her was Jensen.
