Chapter fourteen

Deryn and Alek instantly began to setup the room.

When they walked in Deryn had recognized it was a middie's room, with three beds.

Alek divided the room so that when you entered, his bed was on the right, and Deryn's bed on the left.

Deryn took the sheets from the third bed and used them to separate the room into two halves.

Alek started helping Deryn put the sheets up.

"So we're not sharing a bed?" He asked, pretending to be sad.

Deryn stopped putting up sheets and put her hand on her hips. "Well, if the lady boffin comes in we can't have the room looking like we're sharing a bed, and besides, I'm not letting you watch me as I get dressed dummkofp!"

Alek laughed. "Okay, you're right, anyways I was only joking..."

Deryn smiled. "I knew you were, but I decided to play along. And besides Alek..."

Deryn's words got softer, almost to a whisper, "It doesn't... mean... we don't... have.. to..."

Alek's eyes widened. His thoughts became a blur. WAIT... WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?

Alek started to mumble, "Wait... what?"

Deryn blushed. "I said... it doesn't mean we don't... have to... share a bed..."

Alek's felt his face get hot. He started turning red. "So... you... mean?"

Deryn laughed at Alek blushing.

It was hillarious. "Alek, I meant we can sleep in the same bed..." She gave him a hard glare, "No funny business, Alek."

Alek nodded.

He was still in shock Deryn guessed.

Alek finally spoke. "Uh, yes, okay Deryn... no funny business."

Deryn smiled and walked over to him. "That doesn't mean you still can't kiss me you daft prince."

Alek kissed her. He could feel her lips form a smile again.

It had been a while since she had kissed him, and she missed the feeling of his lips againist hers.

It just took all her worries away, being with him.

Alek finally backed away, and Deryn frowned.

"So..." Alek said with a grin on his face, "Can I take you up on that offer?"

Deryn looked at him. It was hard to say no to Alek, he looked so cute standing there grinning like an idiot... She thought to herself... So why should I say no?

Deryn nodded. "Just let me get changed..."

She went behind the sheets, and when she came back Alek had gotten changed too, and was lying in bed.

Deryn walked over to him and crawled in bed beside him.

As soon as she got tucked in Alek wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead.

Deryn kissed him back. "Good night Alek."

Alek smiled. "Good night Deryn."

Deryn closed her eyes and fell asleep in Alek's arms.
