Chapter 20

Caspian walks out of the bathroom with his pajamas on.

"Who was that?" He asks flopping next to her on the bed.

"Phil," she replies getting up and looking for pajamas. "He said he wants to know everything that happens."

She locates some pajamas and picks them up to change into. She walks into the bathroom to change.

She drops her stuff on top of the toilet and looks at herself.

She takes out her contacts and puts them in their container. She rubs her eyes before looking at herself again.

She looks tired and the fight is catching up with her. She feels an ache in her forehead where she got punched. She examines herself, no harsh injuries but a few bruises and soreness. What was up with than woman? Johanna knew she should've been able to take her down easier.

She sighs and splashes her face with water before changing into the pajamas she grabbed.

She walks out of the bathroom and dumps the clothes she was wearing on the floor. She crawls in bed without thinking and curls up.

She feels the bed sink as Caspian sits down next to her. He crawls beside her and awkwardly pushes himself to the edge of the bed, which is difficult as the bed isn't huge.

Johanna pretends to fall asleep. She shuts her eyes and evens out her breath.

She hears Caspian's unsteady breathing and could feel the discomfort radiating off him.

Screw it, she thought. She rolls over and pulls Caspian closer to her, still pretending to be asleep.

She feels Caspian stiffen in her arms and she wonders for a brief second if she read him wrong, but Caspian relaxes and soon falls asleep for real. Johanna smiles to herself before falling asleep as well.

Johanna wakes up to no Caspian beside her. She sits straight up and looks around yawning. She rubs the sleep out of her eyes and looks around again.

She hears Caspian's footsteps as he appears behind the door.

"Hey," He says leaning against the door frame.

"Hey," Johanna mumbles throwing her legs over the edge of the bed. "You're up early."

"More like late." He chuckles. "It's 4:45, since we got here at the crack of dawn."

"How long have you been up?" She asks actually getting out of the bed and crossing the room.

"A half hour or so."

Johanna pulls out a cropped tank top and shorts because she was burning up and wanted out of her hot pajamas.

"Ok well hold up a moment while I go put my face on and get changed," she says walking into the bathroom.

When the door closes she looks into the mirror to get ready. She puts on her makeup like usual, pops in her contacts. She doesn't even bother with her hair and just throws it into a bun. She changes and walks out.

Caspian is sitting on the bed on his phone when she comes out. She takes his phone out of his hands and starts changing various settings. She knows having a phone is risky especially with out the proper restrictions and certain things disabled.
