Having gotten no sleep at all, I sat up on the bed and stared at the wall in front of me.

There are those nights when I just can't seem to catch a wink, no matter how hard I try. Yes. I want to sleep but I can't.

And when I'm lying in bed, tossing and turning, my mind starts playing tricks on me. I start hearing things, like whispers or even screams, that aren't really there. It can be really unsettling.

So, it's no wonder that I want to go downstairs for a glass of water to calm my nerves. It's like a little moment of respite, a chance to escape the eerie stillness of the night.

But I don't think I can.

It's not that I can't. But it's just a little weird to go downstairs in the middle of the night.

What if someone is still up. What if someone is downstairs. What if I woke someone up.

But what if I don't wake up someone. I'm really thirsty, I've been in bed for three hours.

Gathering all the courage I had, I got off the bed and walked to the door.

Slowing turning the door handle, and pushing it open, I looked down the hall and I looked at the stairs. My room was the first room upstairs so I didn't have to worry about walking past the other guys room.

Carefully and very slowly walking down the stairs, I made my way to the kitchen.

No lights were on, so the kitchen was pitch black. Trying not to make any noise, I attempted to look for the light switch.

My attempt worked at its favor.

But as soon as I turned the light on. I almost let out a scream.

It was Nicolas.

He was sitting on a chair next to the kitchen island with a glass in his hands, in the dark. Doing absolutely nothing.

"Holy shit. You scared me." I said placing a hand over my heart, "Why are you sitting in the dark."

Like seriously, does he not find that creepy?

He looked at me like I had just asked him something stupid and didn't answer my question.

Okay then.

"I'm just here to get water, so I'll be on my way." I said taking a cup, to fill water.

"You know, instead of coming downstairs to be in the dark. You could've just stayed in your room. Don't you sleep with the lights off?" I asked, turning to face him.

His eyes held mine for a brief moment before they flicked over me.

Honestly I was just trying to make conversation at this point. It was kind of awkward filling water in silence.

Frankly he was making it worse.

I finished filling my water, with not a single word from Nicolas.

But instead of going back upstairs like I was suppose to do, I took a seat at the opposite side of the kitchen island.

I don't know why I did, I just did.

"How long do I have to stay here." I asked seriously this time, because I truly need to know.

"I don't know." He said, resting his glass down.

So you're telling me the first real sentence I get out of him is 'I don't know' seriously?

"You have to have an estimated date." I said, taking a sip of my water.

"If I had an estimated date, I would've told you."

Oh.

I'm not hurt or anything, I'm just shocked he actually talked.

The only other times he talked to me was because he had to.

"That's a lot of words for someone like you." I paused, "shocking"

At this point, I'm just going to see how much words I can get out of him.

"That's a pretty mouth for someone like you." He paused, "shocking."

I almost choked on my water. I'm sure I didn't here that correctly.

Did he say I had a 'pretty mouth'? Is this my cue to leave?

"It is, isn't it." I said with a smile.

No way I just said.

Nicolas looked at me with interest in his eyes.

He held eye contact with me for a moment before he broke it.

Resting his glass on the island, he got up from his chair, and walked towards the stairs.

Then he said, "Goodnight, Svetlyak."

When he disappeared around the corner I whispered to myself,

"What the fuck is Svetlyak."
