Chapter 3: Sleeping Arrangements (Gwendolyn's POV)

When Gwendolyn shut the door to the bedroom, she placed her forehead on the cold door to get her bearings together. Her heart was racing faster than it had ever done before when she was alone. Just before closing the door, she had kissed Dave. Mind you, it was just a simple gesture of a kiss on the cheek, but all the same she was flustered.

Her face began to burn as she thought about what she did. Why did I do that? He probably thinks that I am insane. Even though he didn't look like he hated what I did. I must be imagining things. Maybe I should get some sleep. Turning away from the door, Gwendolyn got her first look at the bedroom that she would be using. It was simple and comforting. There was a hardwood dresser and mirror in front of a queen size bed.

Near the bed, she noticed a bedside table with things like an alarm clock and a bedside lamp. She looked around the room, but didn't notice any photos of Dave's family. Then again, Dave did say that he used this room for only friends. Sighing, Gwendolyn looked over on top of the pillows and spotted the clothes that she had worn earlier. Smiling to herself, she went over to the bed and sat down. The bed was soft and changed itself according to her shape. It wasn't as cold as she thought it would be which was good for her to get some sleep. Looking throughout the room, Gwendolyn spotted another door in the corner. Rising from the bed, she made her way to the mysterious door.

Placing her hand on the doorknob, she slowly turned it and opened the door. Looking inside, she realized that it was another bathroom connected to the bedroom. Running her hand up the side wall, she found the light and flicked it on. The bathroom had a kind of subtle color to it which gave it a sort of welcoming appearance just like the bedroom.

Stepping inside, Gwendolyn decided to take a nice hot shower to clear her mind. She stripped out of the shirt and her underwear as she turned on the shower. Once the water was warm enough, she stepped inside. As she thought, the warm water seemed to relax and calm her mind. Looking around, she spotted a bottle of body wash on a small shelf.

Grabbing it and popping the top, she took a whiff. I don't think Dave would mind if I used this. It smells just like lavender, my favorite.

Gwendolyn paused at her thoughts. She didn't remember smelling anything like this. So how in the world was it her favorite? She decided to worry about it later because she really wanted to enjoy the shower. As the water began to wash her body, she rubbed the body wash that she had found all over herself.

The scent, in a way, seemed to calm her mind further, at least for the moment. After applying the body wash, she began to wash her hair. Finding some shampoo on the little shelf, she rubbed her hair until white foam began to show. Once she finished, she washed her hair along with the body wash down the drain.

The last thing that she did was grab the conditioner bottle and finished washing her hair. Turning the shower off, she slowly stepped on the bathtub mat and grabbed a towel from the heating rack. Wrapping the towel tightly around her, Gwendolyn stepped out of the bathroom back into the bedroom.

Sitting back on the bed, she grabbed the clothes that were left for her. Opening the shirt, she found that there was a fresh pair of underwear for her underneath it. Wondering how it got there, she checked to find out it was her size. Dave must have left it for me. I wonder what he was thinking to leave me this too.

Gwendolyn smiled at the thought of how red in the face Dave was when he found this for her. Unwrapping herself from the towel, she put the underwear on to find that it was a surprising comfortable fit. Putting on the shirt, Gwendolyn walked over to the mirror to look at herself.

She looked so much better then when she first saw herself just a few hours ago. Walking over to the bed once again, Gwendolyn pulled back the covers and sat down. Pulling her legs off the floor, she laid down in the bed. She pulled the large quilt sheet over her as she turned off the lights. Closing her eyes as the sounds of cars and dogs pierced the darkness; the last thoughts on her mind were I wonder how the trip tomorrow is going to turn out.
