Chapter 9: Worried
Rays P.O.V
I glanced over as she stirred once again and wondered what it was she was dreaming about. It couldn't have been good, judging by the look on her face. I wondered whether or not I should wake her, but decided against is, she needed whatever sleep she could get. It was like she'd been in her own little world this past week, coming in with dark circles under her eyes, and had been very distant. I wondered what was bothering her, and surprised myself when I wondered to myself if maybe I could help her somehow. She must have felt me looking at her or something, and she slowly opened her eyes, seeming disoriented for a moment, just as I was looking back to the road.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty, we're just getting ready to get off at an exit and find a hotel to stay at." I updated her.
"Hotel? I thought we were going to get there without having to stop." She said, and I thought I heard her voice shake, but I figured I was just overreacting.
"I thought we were going to be able to, but we got a later start than I had planned." He explained.
"Oh."
"You don't mind do you? I mean, I could try to drive all the way through, but I'm having enough trouble now as it is trying to keep my eyes open. Plus, I don't think you know the way there, so you can't drive either." I pointed out.
She held up her hands in mock defeat,
"Point taken." She exclaimed.
"Points" I said, emphasizing the s.
"Okay, okay, points taken!" she replied.
"We need to start looking for a hotel, so watch the signs and see if there's anything coming up."
"Okay."
We drove a little farther, before the next sign appeared,
"Umm…Best Western, Motel 66, Red Roof Inn, Holiday Inn, and Days Inn." She listed.
"You can choose." I told her.
"How about the Holiday Inn?"
"Okay."
We got off at the exit and found our way to the Holiday Inn. I pulled into the parking lot while she went in to pay for the room. She came out, and climbed in the car,
"Okay, they had one room left, with a double bed, on the second floor."
"Cool, just to let you know, I sleep on the left side of the bed, and usually sleep facing the wall."
"Good, cause I like the right side of the bed, closer to the AC, and I usually face the wall when I sleep too." She answered.
I grabbed both our bags, staggering under the weight of hers, and hunted down the elevators.
We found our room, and as soon as we got settled she headed straight for the bathroom to take a shower. I turned on the TV, and flipped through the channels, finally settling on Vh1.
