Author's Note: I am SOOO sorry that this took so long to write! I know it is a short chapter, but I gota major writer's block while writing it, so I'm glad that it's finally done! I don't know how much longer this story will go, but the chapters from here on out will probably be realitivly short, with a few long ones thrown in. I already have chapter 15 and 16 planned out, so they should be up soon!
Chapter 14- Stay With Me
A while later, Sayid went to check on Alex. Walking into the cave, Sayid saw Alex's huddled form in the corner, resting on a bed of airplane pillows. He knelt next to her. She was still asleep. Sayid gazed down at Alex. Her face was pure with sleep, free of the worries of the world.
Alex stirred in her slumber. Sayid got up quietly and started tip-toeing out of the cave. He was half way to the entrance, when-
"Sayid?"
The Iraqi man turned around. Alex was trying to sit up. She was still half asleep and her voice sounded a bit slurred. He walked back to her side and sat down next to her. Alex reached up and pushed some of his wild black hair behind his ear. Sayid caught her hand and kissed it, Alex smiled faintly.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" she asked softly.
The request mildly surprised Sayid. "Of course."
He lay down, putting one of his muscular arms around her. Alex sighed with contentment and rested her head on his shoulder, her arm draped over his chest.
She quickly fell back asleep, but Sayid stayed awake, listening to the sound of Alex's steady breathing.
Eventually, Sayid felt his eyelids become heavy and he joined Alex in slumber.
