As you know I do not own Holes. I only own Macon "Switch" and Stoney.
6 Love in a Hole
The next couple of weeks went by fast. Zigzag and I have gotten extremely close. Our tent knew and didn't care as long as it didn't go out side of our tent. Lump told no one that he knew me or that I was a girl. Life was pretty much good I guess. Digging was getting much easier now that my cuts were healed. My ribs hurt on occasion.
It was after dinner and the boys were talking about their families and friends back home. I didn't have any of that so I didn't involve my self in their conversation. After awhile hearing them go to me. With out a sound I got off my bed and sneaked out the back flap on the tent.
Lying on my back I stared up at the stars. "Beautiful." I say out loud to myself. "Not as beautiful as you are." Someone says. Standing over me was Zigzag. He offers a hand helping me up. When I was fully standing he kissed me on my lips hungrily. Slowly he led me away from our tent in to the nearest hole, which had to be a good fifteen feet away. He jumped in first, and then catches me as I jumped in after him. As we make out we unbutton each others suits. I lay down as we finished stripping each other. He kisses me again before spreading my legs. "Are you ready, Macon?" He asks me looking in my eyes. I nod my head yes. Slowly he enters me. Soon after he picks up his pace and picks up a rhythm. Kissing and rubbing my breast every now and then. When he was done he handed me my clothes and put his own on. "Sorry it was dirty." Was he apologizing for having sex in a hole? "It's alright. I have to take a shower anyways." I tell him with a smile as I get dressed. Zigzag jumps out of the hole, then reaches down and pulls me out. "Go to the front of the tent. I get your stuff."
We walk to the showers. I undress and put in my tokens. Zigzag turns around. "You know you don't have to turn around. You have already seen me naked." A smirk goes on my lips as these words slip out. "I know. But I have to watch. Make sure no one sees you." That was all he said. When I was done I got dressed and grabbed Zigzag's hand. Together we made our way back to the tent. Before we entered I gave him a quick kiss. "Good night, boys" I say as I made my way over to my bed. Stripping down to my sports bra and boxers I look over at Zigzag and mouth 'I love you'. He mouths it back. I climb in bed and go to sleep.
My nights are filled with endless nightmares. Sad to say the nightmares are really my memories. For some reason I can never wake up from them. It's like my body is frozen.
Quickly morning comes. Today I wake up by my self. I get dressed in my work suit and lace up my boots. Grabbing my canteen and hat I follow the guys out of the tent. Zigzag looked over at me and grabs a shovel. I smile at him as I grabbed mine. He doesn't smile back. We walk out to the digging area in silence.
While digging I wondered if something was wrong with Zigzag. Was he regretting last night? Thoughts continued in my mind. The rest of the day I kept to my self even during lunch I ate by myself. How could I let a guy get under my skin like that? When I was done with my hole I walked back with X-Ray. I never looked at Zigzag when I walked by his hole. When I got back to my tent I went in and lay down on my bed. X mumbled something about going to take a shower. Turning over on my side I looked out the window. Slowly I start drifting to sleep.
"Hey baby…Switch wake up!" waking up to some one shaking my gently always freaks me out. I fall off my bed. Some one helps me up. Turning about I find out it is Zigzag. "Hey." Comes tumbling out of my mouth. "Hi, it's dinner time." He says back. We walk out of the tent and went in to the mess hall.
The one thing I learned about this place is stays the same. Every day is a repeating pattern. You get up; eat your breakfast which consists of a tortilla covered in honey and dig your hole. When your digging the water truck comes twice a day and between the two runs you get lunch. After you dig you go back to camp throw your shovel in the pile then take a shower. That's if you're a guy. When you're done with a shower you hang out in your tent, play basket ball at the hoops, or chill in the rec room. Which is quite literary a wreck. From there you wait for dinner. Dinner is always the same unidentified goop. After dinner are counseling sessions and bed time. Personally I was ok with a constant normality.
