I was finishing unloading the car when I noticed how Wanda was holding her purse. Lately, Wanda has been more secure with her body but now I saw again that shyness, why was she uncomfortable? The noise the Jeep made was already audible, no more than five minutes and we would be heading home. I knew Mel was ok, but as Burns said I couldn't avoid worrying. My heart bumped a little faster than usual, knowing I would be seeing Mel in a few seconds. I could hear Ian talking with Nate and Burns but I could only listen to the Jeep's engine. I walked to the entrance of the cave, ever more anxious. The lights of the Jeep were already approaching, Mel was here. She stopped the engine and I opened the driver's door
- What? … - Doc was on the driver's seat. My heart stopped for a second, Mel has to be ok. She is strong and stubborn. I leaned forward and I saw Mel sitting beside him. My heart bumped again. She jumped off the card and I met her with a kiss, a burning kiss of ours. She grabbed my arm and under the pressure of her fingers I could feel my desire growing. It had happened since Wanda left her body, she started moving like herself again and acting like herself again. We also started to share the room and when Jaime moved out we also shared the bed. I hugged her and made my mind stop from wishing, imagining and remembering her body.
- Ok guys! We have to move fast now! – Ian understood me and started loading the car, we both did; Nate helped us too.
At that moment I saw how Wanda approached to Mel and gave her something. They started laughing but as if they didn't want us to notice shut up immediately and hugged. I didn't like seeing things I wasn't meant to see, I never knew what to do. Maybe I'll ask Mel later.
- Oh, sorry! We didn't introduce you. Doc, these are Nate and Burns. Burns, Nate this is Doc. – Mel smiled. I could see how excited she was to see that other humans were joining us. Other humans that knew where some other humans were.
- Nice to meet you – Doc was always polite
- Doc? Are you going to give them "Sleep"? – Wanda was only partially surprised when she saw the medicine.
- Well, yes. Sorry for that, Jeb's rules. – Doc breathed and explained them the plan -You'll be sleeping the whole way until we reach our main hiding place… Jeb is quite eccentric and little bit paranoid. When I think about it now, I hope I could have been like him. If not for him I wouldn't have survived.
Ian and I finished loading the Jeep, indeed they didn't have time to bring all the supplies we needed. We would have to go on a raid sometime soon. It wasn't much but it did fill plenty of the space and we were too many for the Jeep. I was trying to figure out I we would seat when Wanda approached me.
- I brought you and Mel a gift. She has it… She can show you later – She was blushed and very shy
- Thanks Wanda, you didn't have to – I smiled wide open trying to make her more comfortable. – So, the car is loaded now. We have to move.
- Nate, Burns, you'll be seating on the back seats, ok? – Doc ordered – And, as I said before, Jeb's rules – He gave them two scarfs to cover their eyes. Nate and Burns obeyed, Nate didn't mind but I could see that Burns was resilient.
- I'll be driving, so in the places left-
- No Jared, I'll drive. I've had an "Awake" and that way you could sit with Melanie and Ian with Wanda. It is not going to be comfortable but it is not a long trip either. – Doc gave the plan already set, I couldn't oppose although I loved to drive. I nodded and we all followed his orders.
- Burns, Nate, open your mouths, please – He sprayed "Sleep" on their tongues and they covered their eyes
- Oh, strawberry – said Nate while savouring it
Ian and Wanda sat on the remaining back seat. Wanda was small and more or less fit when sitting on Ian. I could see how they were having fun with this small adventure. They seemed… more in love if possible.
I sat on the passenger seat and Mel sat on me. Even though there was more space we were all squished. Mel laugh and I finally relaxed a bit. I kissed her lovingly
- I love you Mel – I whispered in her hear. Since she came back I took every chance I had to tell her how happy I was she was back. I could barely be without her. She kissed me on the forehead and smiled - Let's go home
