He was right.

Aw. So that means, he's not going to treat me for dinner!

Well atleast we finally found a ride.

"So do we go to Grahamstown now or we check in that hotel."

Me pointing at the hotel.

"We should just continue travelling, Karen. We don't need to stay there."

"Ehhhh. I can't sleep here! I need a bed, my dear Georgie.. Can't we?"

He stared at me for a moment and..

"Sure."

Yay!

I'm really weird, I can't sleep when I'm inside of something moving.

It's very unpleasant.

I don't know I just can't sleep there.

I really need a bed.

"Hey, Karen."

"Hmm?"

I didn't realised that I was already sleeping in the hotel lobby's comfy couch!

Can I just sleep here. I don't need a room, I want to sleep here!

"Well, there's good news or bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Good news."

"Well there's one more room available for us to stay.."

"And the bad news is?"

"It only has one bed."

What?!

One.

One bed?

With.. With him?

"Oh shit."

"Well? Are you okay with us sharing one bed."

"I- I'm okay with it. Shall we get going? I'm very sleepy.."

"Sure. Let's go."

We went inside the room and before I sleep, I whispered in his ear one last message.

"Pillow. Wall."

He nodded and I was greeted by this comfy bed!

Yes.

Ye-

I- I..

Darkness.

----

I woke up feeling a little energized!

"Hmm that was a very good sleep."

But.. Wait a minute.

I'm hugging a pillow, right?

I opened my eyes and I was shookt..

I wasn't hugging a pillow.

I was hugging George.

He opened his eyes as well and we stared at eachother for I think was a good two minutes..

Soo, who's going to speak first?

Fine. He wins.

"Hey, Georgie. Good morning!"

"Good morning."

"Could you let go so I could change my outfit? Time is gold, my dear Georgie."

"Right, sorry."
