Well, this puzzle says thank you and A for effort.
[ Even if she's getting sleepy now, tucking herself into his side. The massage helped a lot in getting her to relaxed, a long day of work behind her doing nothing to make her appreciate the evening ahead tomorrow. ]
[But he combs his fingers through her hair, kisses her forehead, and doesn't try to move her from where his arm is totally asleep beneath her shoulder.]
[ Around eight o'clock she wakes up quietly, conscious of a furnace nearby that usually isn't a fixture of her bed. Bleary-eyed, she huffs and peeks above the covers to see if he's awake. ]
[ Stretching out lazily, she stays where she is for a few minutes (with her mouth partially stuck to his sleeve, oops) before making any attempt at getting up. It's a mild surprise to find herself half-naked when she does, but she simply stuffs the duvet back around Jim and pecks him on the forehead. ]
You're just full of unreasonable demands, aren't you?
[ Smiling at him as she ties the bathrobe around herself at last, she listens outside her door for movement and glances back with a finger to her lips. You shouldn't be here, shhh. Distractedly, she wonders if they have any juice. ]
[He playfully 'zips his lips' and flops back on the bed. Not enough pillows. Not anywhere near enough pillows. But he punches at them until they're some semblance of fluffed up and then props himself against them to wait for her illustrious return. Until he rolls over onto the lotion bottle, a casualty to the early morning massage. With a sigh, he heaves himself out of bed and goes to put it back where he found it the night before.
-- And while he's there he may as well steal another piece of chocolate-coated apple.]
[ Thankfully, she only sees people in passing and doesn't have to explain why there are six pieces of vaguely burned toast piled up on a plate, along with orange juice (the last, he should be honored) and a black coffee on the same tray. She never said she was a cook, okay. At the very least, the food is hot when she angles herself back into the bedroom, very much looking like she needs to drag a brush through her hair. ]
Hey, here. Everyone will be gone in ten minutes, you can take the shower first if you want.
[ Perched on the bed, she noms the blackest bit of toast. ]
[He almost makes a quip about showering together, but-- given their chat, probably not a good idea. Instead he shakes his head.]
I'm good, I swear. I think I can make it back to my own place without offending the neighbors. I'll do that dodge-roll thing. [Gesturing with the toast,] Won't even see me.
Ah, the dodge-roll. I remember it well. [ She's never dodged anything like the (supposed, in this case) walk of shame in her life, what a liar. Heh. ] My back still feels wonderful, thanks for last night.
'Strictly masseuse' is your name in my phonebook from now on. [ Taking her coffee along to the door, she listens to the last of her housemates leave and gives him a playful smile. ] Shame about that dodge-roll taking you home so early. Maybe next time you can meet me in my shower when yours back home isn't so desperately alluring.
[ Because she's planning to have one, whether he's here to bug her during it or not. ]
[ Jim and Loki should get together for breakfast sometime, it would be like watching two five-year-olds have the responsibility of credit cards. Terrifying. ]
I'm in, I'm in. Call me whenever you get something sorted out, I'll see you later. [ With a small salute, she heads into the corridor. Kissing him goodbye would be nice but frankly she tastes like bed, tshirt and toast, and that's not the impression she wants to leave. ] Let yourself out, Jim, it was nice seeing you. And leave some of that food you brought!

You get toast.
[ Until then she'll limpet around him until morning, falling asleep rapidly whenever she stops trying to focus on talking. ]
no subject
[Sleep. Sleep is good. So maybe he'll spend the next few hours staring at the ceiling but that's okay. Life's good.]

Tea or coffee?

[He is definitely going to give her an appreciative look in that search for her vest, though.]

[He takes an obnoxiously loud slurp of juice, straining it through his teeth until he can smack his lips afterwards and then he gets up and stretches]
I'm totally serious about that roadtrip. Waterfalls, maybe a canoe trip. Hiking. Climb a mountain. You in?
