Lost Girl

Chapter 16-King Of Neverland

The cold night had passed, and you stepped out of bed and headed for Peter's room to return the blanket in just your tank top and shorts.

After a short knock. "Who is it?"

"Just me." You answered.

"Come in." He invited.

"Brought back the blanket. Thank you again Peter."

"It's no problem at all. Might as well keep it in your room actually."

Scarastically shocked. "You don't want me coming in your room in the middle of the night ripping your sheets off?"

"You would. Plus it would be an excuse to be in my room and see me, especially since you now know I don't sleep with a shirt on."

"You think too highly of yourself Peter." You said the trying to hide your reddening cheeks.

"You didn't say I was wrong about your intentions." He smirked.

Just as your were about to throw the blanket at Peter's face, Felix came through the door.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company this morning."

"She's just returning something she borrowed Felix, nothing more." Peter replied causing Felix's eyebrows to raise in doubt. "You can put the blanket back on my bed." He pointed at you.

You bent over to spread the blanket over his bed. Both of the boys' eyes drifted to your backside; however, Felix wanted to keep his so his darted away when Peter cleared his throat.

"We'll leave to train as soon as you're dressed."

"Aye aye Captain." You mockingly replied then promptly left.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter waited until it was just him and Felix. "Speaking of Captain, how's our one-handed pirate with a drinking problem?"

"That's what I've come to speak about. He's taken his ship past the border you set for him."

Peter's face turned dark. "I want him pushed back to where he belongs. I'll deal with this when I come back." He ruffled his fingers through his hair. "I just wanted a peaceful day Felix."

"You seemed to have a pretty good night..."

Felix was slammed against the hard wall. "What are you implying?" Peter said through his teeth.

"I came in here and the first thing I see is the girl next to your bed. What am I supposed to think?"

"You'll trust my words especially these next ones. You make one more look or remark that questions the respectability of that girl and I'll throw you out the window." He released Felix, and went to his closet to pull on a shirt.

"I understand." Felix muttered then slammed the door behind him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Felix stormed past you on your way back to Peter.

"I'm ready to go!"

"Then I won't keep a lady waiting." Peter replied caused you to roll your eyes at his formalities.

An hour hike outside of camp brought Peter and you to the same clearing sword fighting training took place a few days ago.

"I'm sure Felix didn't do a very good job showing you how to fight that first lesson." Peter assumed.

"Not particularly. All I learned was I needed to fight dirty to get a creep off of me."
