Sleeping Buddies Part 11

Sylvia leaned on the door as I came. Her eyes looked at me instead of saying, "Finally I have been here for what felt like years". I addressed this issue before. Maybe something else would work? I got as Sylvia followed. She is spoiled. She has to have her way, but she is the boss. I took off my shirt to sleep on my bed. She had other ideas. She hung up a quilt to block the bathroom entrance.

"Zach? Can you fetch some water? I need to look my best if I am going to lead us back to Earth."

I grabbed my homemade bucket. I will hopefully get more than water on this trip. Trip by trip I fetched water and poured it down the rain funnel. I hope it rains here! Taking a bath only makes me messier. I am not the one getting clean. Pouring my last bucket, caused Sylvia to shout with glee.

"Zackey? Can you hand me something to put on?"

I went inside. I could hear the water sloshing in the tub. I rummaged through her belongings. No clothes. I picked up my shirt and dropped it on her side of the quilt. I could hear the drips falling on the floor. When the quilt came down, Sylvia had her wet hair on the right side going down her head. She left her clothes hanging on the tub. In fact it looked like she gave them a rinse while scrubbing herself. She was wearing my shirt. It still had a little of my B.O. smell on it. It was nearly transparent, clinging to her sopping wet body. The fabric did not seem to hide her nakedness.

Sylvia climbed onto my bed. Her body was on its side. I got in front of her. She wrapped her arms around me. She pushed her wet back into my bare back. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Sylvia fell asleep pretty fast. I release myself from her embrace.

I walked back to the men's dorm. Some were sleeping, some not. Carl saw me. "Zach, how's the new diggs?"

"Not mine right now. Sylvia took over."

"I kind of figured that. She seemed a little more excited to go to bed than normal."

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"Sure man. However you do need to tell Sylvia it is YOUR place not hers."

"If only it was that easy..."

I took a spot with no one and drifted off. I got up a little earlier to head back to my place to sneak back into Sylvia's arms like nothing happened. As I walked in, Sylvia was on her belly crying. I sat on the bed and shook the top of her head like my mom did when I was upset as a child. She looked at me. She had a little snot dangling from her nose. Her face was puffy with trails of tears on each cheek.

"Zach (Sigh.) , you did not want me to move in with you."

"No Sylvia. Maybe an overnight visit later on."

"I guess we should see if any new people arrived today."

And was she right!
