Chapter 21

Listen to Your Heart

Chase's POV

We were riding through the streets, or more like speeding down the streets trying to get to our location at the bayou. I want to grave hold of Snake Eyes at the speed we are going, but I won't let myself.

When we finally get there, and it feels like it literally took years, the place looks like a really old cabin. I get off the bike and make my way inside not noticing if Snakes is behind me or not. When I get inside there is one lone couch, a fireplace against the wall, a bathroom to the upper left, and a kitchen to the lower right. And that's it.

Wow.

I walked over to the couch and I set my bag down, and laid down. Well this was, how do I put it? Bare.

It was then that I noticed Snake Eyes looking at me from the doorway.

"Are you going to come in or are you just going to stand there all night?"

And with that he walked inside and took a seat on the floor. I didn't know what else to say. It was just an awkward uncomfortable silence. I graved my bag and made my way to the bathroom.

I closed the door behind me and I looked at myself in the small mirror. Well ok Chase, you just need to make the best of this.

I turned on the shower, which unlucky for me had no hot water. I was about to scream, when I remembered that Snake Eyes was in the other room, and he might just break the door down if he thought I was in trouble so I just stifled the scream.

I quickly washed all the gunk off my faced, and let the cold water run through my hair.

I almost jumped out of the shower, I graved a nearby towel and tried to warm myself up. But that wasn't working so I graved my pajamas, oversized t shirt with mickey mouse on it and some purple pajama pants, and shoved the dress and shoes into my bag. I graved a brush and just ran it through my hair a few times and walked outside.

And Snake Eyes was still sitting in the same spot on the floor. I wanted to roll my eyes but I didn't want to waste my energy.

I sat down on the couch and brought my legs in close to me, still trying to get warm, when he signed to me.

You're shivering.

No really?

"yeah there was no hot water, just below freezing water. So I'm a little cold."

Without saying another word he got up, and walked away. Great, he left me hear to freeze to death.

But he came back about 5 minutes later with a blankets in hand he handed one to me, and I wrapped myself in it, glad for the warmth.

"thanks."

He nodded and he returned to his seat on the floor.

I got up from the couch and I sat next to him. He turned his head to look at me.

"Go sleep on the couch on sleep on the floor its not a big deal. " I took the blanket and I laid a few done on the floor and graved another blanket to cover myself.

No I'll sleep on the floor, you sleep on the couch.

"No, you sleep on the couch end of discussion. Its not the first time I sleep on the floor. Now get over yourself and go sleep on the couch for Christ sakes."

And with that I laid down and pulled the blanket close to me and closed my eyes.

I heard a deep sigh, and I didn't have to turn my head around to see him lay down on the couch.

I kept my eyes closed from what must have been an eternity, but probably only twenty minutes when I was finally able to fall asleep.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

I felt groggy, I could see the light coming through the windows from my eyelids but I didn't want to open my eyes.

I wanted to keep sleeping, at least there it was peaceful in dream land where I didn't have to face any of my real problems. Or the fact that I had to be with Snake Eyes right now. At the very least I don't want to face my feelings for him. Because in all honesty I think im falling for the guy. And what makes it worse is that he doesn't see more as more than a respectable teammate who he values.

I finally decide to open my eyes, so I don't have to face the horrors of my own thoughts.

I look around at my surroundings, and realize that everything is much higher than it was before I fell asleep. He didn't.

I sit up and realize that I am laying on the couch. I turn my head to the side and look down, and there he is sleeping soundly on the floor.

That sneaky ninja picked me up in the middle of the night and put me on the couch! How was I supposed to work around my feelings for him when he did stuff like that! Ugh!

I lay myself back down ruffly, and looked up at the ceiling. Damn it.

I figure it was best to get up and face the day, so I graved my bag and walked over to the bathroom to get ready.

I brushed my teeth and took another shower, the fastest I think I have every taken in my life, and got dressed. Into my suit and boots I decided I would just let my hair air dry into its naturally wavy state.

I walked out of the bathroom and put my bag back on the couch, and what do you know the ninja was STILL asleep. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the kitchen to see if there was any type of food in the fridge.

And what do you know it was stocked with food, all good. I graved some eggs and made my way over to the stove.

I started cooking, the food was almost done cooking when I notice Snake Eyes wasn't lying on the floor. He must be in the bathroom.

I cooked enough food for the both of us, just incase he finally decided that he needs to eat.

I put the eggs onto two plates when he finally made his appearance.

"I didn't know if you were hungry or not, but I made you some eggs. " he simply nodded and took the eggs.

Thank you

"No problem"

I started eating the eggs when I watched his arms twitch, but slowly lift up his mask just enough so his mouth was exposed.

Now I don't know what I was expecting to happen but that certaintly wasn't one of the cenarios that went down in my head.

I watched him eat the eggs in silence, and I mainly looked at my plate the whole time.

When we finished eating I cleared the counter, and washed the dishes. While he put his mask back down.

"So when did you decide to take it upon yourself to move me to the couch last night?"

His body froze, for just a slight second.

I knew you were going to be stubborn about it, so I decided to wait until you were asleep so you wouldn't fight me on it.

I snorted, "Well next time you get the idea to move me in the middle of the night, to get out of an argument don't. But thank you."

I gave a slight smile, when a phone rang. I turned my head and looked at the communicator my brother had given us.

I walked over to it and answered it tenitvaly.

"Hello?"

"Oh good your awake, ok so Aly we need you and ninja guy to go over to the Requiem Hotel down in the French quarter. When you get there give me a call and I'll tell you what to do."

"ok sure thing, and Good morning Jason, its nice to talk to you too."

"What? Oh dang Al sorry. Morning oh wonderful sister of mine who-"

"Yeah I get the point Jason, I'll call you Bye."

"Bye Al be careful"

"I always am"

And with that I hung up.

I turned to Snake Eyes who was now right behind me.

"we need to get going to the requiem hotel, let's get moving."

We graved our swords and guns and made our way to the motorcycle.

Let the day officially start.
