We walked into the house through the door. It was a one room house. There were two beds on one side and a small kitchen on the other.
"Go get ready for bed. I'll wait outside for like 10 minutes. You better be asleep when I come in" she said. She stepped outside and closed the door. I ran to my suitcase, which had been carried to the room, and pulled out my nightclothes. I quickly slipped out of my day clothes and into the nightclothes.
I quickly crawled into the bed sheets and I began falling asleep. In my sleep I thought about Judy and argued with myself about my feelings, and just as I was getting everything resolved I woke up. My eyes opened in the semi-darkness and I heard the clicking of a closing door. Judy must have come in. I closed my eyes quickly.
I heard her walk around to where my face was pointed. I didn't know what to do. I felt her reach out and touch my head softly, but then she rapidly retracted her hand. I kept still. She, seeing that I made no movement, reached her hand back to my face so she could continue petting me.
I slowly felt a grin spread across my face. She stopped petting me. She must have seen me grinning, so I quickly rolled over and made a loud yawning noise. I heard her quickly hop over to her corner of the room. From her corner, she made a big deal of getting into bed.
I was worried.
She saw my grin.
I was absolutely sure of it.
