Tee and Frame talked to the man on the front desk, while Book and I waited on the couch on the lounge. I watched him as drowsiness came to him.

"Hey Book, wake up!" I said as I shook his arm. "Don't sleep yet." He looked very sleepy while waiting for our two companions.

"Here they come!" I exclaimed as I watched the two made their way to us. I was also sleepy, but I was fighting it. I would only give in once we were in our own room. I did not want Tee to haul me because I was already sleeping in the corridor. Ha! No way!

"I was glad they still had two rooms available." Tee said as he led us to the elevator. He draped his arm on me that added to the weight of the backpack.

"Yeah, but the sad thing is that we are not on the same floor." Frame said sadly.

"Why? What floor will you be?" I asked as I really had no idea we wouldn't be sleeping on an adjoining room on the same floor.

"We will be at the fifth, while you two will be at the third. How sad is that?" Frame answered me tickling Book who was dodging his hand.

"Hey Frame! Stop it!" Book whined and pouted at his troublesome companion. Frame just laughed and winked at him as he pinched both of Book's cheeks. He then slapped Frame's hand, but the latter was quick on withdrawing his hands.

"That's just very sad." I said and dug my phone out of my pocket to text mom that we had arrived already.

"Okay, so see you at the lounge at six in the morning, I guess?"  Tee added as the elevator dinged, signalling for the third floor, and  we stepped out of it.

When we were in the room, I threw my bag on the floor and crashed on the bed without changing my clothes, not even thinking of taking a bath before sleeping. I was so tired of our twelve-hour travel that I just collected all of my strengths for me to be able to walk up to here. It was Tee who collected my things and put it properly on the opposite bed.

"Hey, you should be taking care of your things. Look, you just threw your bag on the floor without even thinking of the fragile things inside. What a pity." I heard him said and clucked his tongue at what I did. I wanted to get up, but my eyelids were heavy.

"Are you asleep already?" He asked me as he laid down beside me. I just hummed at his question to let him know I wasn't sleeping yet.

I felt his arm went under my neck. The warmth it gave me awakened me suddenly. I turned to him and frowned. I smelled the scent his skin was radiating, it was a mild cologne, and it was very soothing.

"Yes?" He asked as I opened my eyes and saw his face near mine. I just shook my head and closed my heavy eyelids again.

I heard him chuckled and I felt his warm lips on my forehead as he said his goodnight. Why was he sleeping with me when we had two beds in the room? I kept on wondering as sleep pulled me into the darkness.

"Hey Book! Stay awake!" I said as I repeatedly slapped him softly on the cheek. "Hey! Look we are now on the fourth floor, we are near, look! Yey!" I prayed my persuasion would do good, would keep Book awake until we got to our room. But as the moments passed by, I saw him became more drowsy. He was propping his head on my shoulder as the elevator went up.
When we reached fifth floor, I pulled him out of the lift and dragged him behind me. Our room was at the end of the hall. Oh great! I wondered how was I going to carry Book to our room if he slept on the way.
