Chapter 9
Lee's POV
"Wait just one minute. Are you guys even trained?" Scott suddenly asked me. I stopped in my tracks and looked over at him. We'd been walking for awhile now and we were pretty close to a town. I could see some of the buildings.
"What do you mean 'trained'?" I asked him. He shrugged.
"You know, can you fight?" He rephrased his question.
"Oh. Well, I use to take a little bit of karate when I was a kid, but for most of my life I was kinda obsessed with video games and I guess I just played them so much that I kinda learned from them." I explained the best I could. He flashed me a smirk.
"A girl that that's into video games. Cute." He said. I blushed and brushed him comment off. I started walking again, him keeping up with me. We walked in silence the rest of the way there. We went to the nearest hotel to check in since it was getting late. We only had enough money to get a one bed room, so it was awkward when we entered the room and stared at the bed.
"Well then….I'm going to take a shower." I announced when I got tired of staring at the bed and the silence. Scott shrugged and jumped on the bed. I swing my bag on my shoulder and headed for the bathroom.
After taking a long, relaxing shower, I stepped out of the tub and got dressed in my pajamas, which I noted that were getting small. My mind briefly wonder what Billi would wear to bed but I quickly shook it off. I needed sleep so I couldn't worry right now. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Scott trying to make a bed out of the couch.
"What're you doing?" I asked him. He slightly jumped, caught off guard. He sheepishly grinned.
"I'm not sleeping on the floor. And you probably want the bed so…" He trailed off. I sighed. I turned my gaze to the window.
"Look, we can just share the bed, ok?" I muttered. He was silent for a moment, so I stole a glance at him. He looked surprised and there was something else there too, but I couldn't figure it out because it quickly disappeared. He shrugged.
"Sure, if you don't care." He said. He walked over to the bed and lay down.
"This is my side, though." He told me, smirking. I sighed. I walked over to the other side and lay down on my side, my back to him. I heard him sigh quietly. He got up and turned off the light, the light of the TV guiding him back to the bed. I felt him lay down next to me and before I knew it, I was sleeping.
