After debating with Octavia whether or not they should just sleep in the car or get a hotel room they decided to try hotel first. Raven pulled up to the first hotel she could find. It was looking run-down and old but it was 3 in the morning and Raven wanted to sleep.
„Jesus this place looks like it came straight out of American Horror Story, are you sure we can't just sleep in the car Ray." Octavia unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Raven was barely keeping her eyes open. „Listen don't worry about the money I'll pay, let's just get inside before I take a nap on the road...literally." Raven let out a loud yawn."
„I'm not worried about the money I'm worried whether or not we're going to get killed in our sleep." They walked to the entrance of the old small building and Raven booked them a room.
When they walked into their shared room Raven threw her duffel bag on the floor and fell face first on the bed while Octavia went to check out their bathroom.
Octavia didn't feel like driving at all especially Raven's customized hummer that must cost more than the Octavia's house, so she could afford to sleep and nap while Raven was driving. Unfortunately that means that Octavia is rested and well while Raven drove for more than 12 hours and desperately needs some sleep. Octavia suggested they just don't drive at night, it's be better to look at the stars and sleep in the car. She was sure Raven was going to agree to see things her way after this.
„Ugh gross! I found a used condom in the bathroom." Octavia threw the dirty used latex in the trash can and looked at the now sleeping form of Raven on the bed.
Octavia smiled, Raven was usually a walking sarcasm sass machine but she had her cute moments, now was one of them.
Octavia approached the bed and gently moved Raven so she could cover her with a blanket. „Mmm leave me alone." Raven mumbled. Octavia scoffed „Don't worry shorty just covering you up." She tucked Raven in and kissed her cheek causing Raven to smile.
Octavia stepped back pleased with her work and set to take a shower and change clothes. The bathroom was old. The formica peeled from the vanities and the enamel was chipped in the sink. The old mirror could use a good wash and the faucet was leaking even though it wasn't in use. The bathroom was so small that only one person at a time could be in there, unless someone actually stood in the bath itself.
Octavia started stripping down, Raven was asleep and even if she wasn't they both had the same parts. She showered relatively quickly, she didn't feel like spending too much time in that old dirty bathroom. Thankfully they each brought their own towels because the two ones that the hotel provided were a white-yellow color and crusty to the touch, Octavia washed her hands after touching them.
She rummaged through her bag for her pajamas. She wasn't feeling tired but she didn't have much to do.
She looked at Raven who threw the blankets off herself. Octavia knew that is was warm now but it would get cold before dawn comes, so she carefully covered Raven and herself to the hips. Octavia took her phone and tried to hook up to the wifi of the hotel. The signal was bad but she managed.
She plugged her headphones in and let the music play. She checked her social media profiles. Bellamy sent 10 messages, Octavia rolled her eyes. She sent him a message to calm down and that she was fine. The next message was from Clarke wishing her and Raven a good trip, Octavia smiled and thanked her friend.
She went to Instagram and Tumblr to post pictures of her vacation so far. She had a few, the first was a selfie of her and Raven, the second was of her and Raven in the grocery store with a full cart, the third was the open road just outside the city, and the forth was of the sunset Raven had shown her. Octavia smiled again and looked to her friend who was sleeping and snoring quietly on her side.
It was almost 4 in the morning when Octavia decided to get some sleep as well. She took out her headphones and put her phone on the nightstand by the bed.
As she laid down she noticed her arms were a bit cold maybe Raven wouldn't mind if she cuddled. She didn't need to try though as soon as she was lying down Raven threw her arms around her shoulders and hugged Octavia to herself.
Octavia was stiff for a second but soon relaxed. Raven was just the kind of warmth she needed right now. Raven was a good friend, always there when you need her.
Octavia snuggled closer to Raven and closed her eyes to sleep. It's been awhile since she slept in bed with someone.
Ravens arms were light on her torso and Raven's breath chilled and tickled her neck. It's been a long time since she was this close to someone.
Still she would take this soft moment and savor it. If the past taught her anything is that soft moments were rare and quick to disappear.
So she tried to enjoy the present and relax. Soon she fell asleep.
