Demons without Desire

The grumpy toad.

Lunch came and went again, I had spent the time looking out the window in my own world than anyone actually striking a conversation with me or one I knew anything about, so I simply listened and watched the world pass by until we were set to leave.

Returning back to the lodge I pulled off my boots and face planted the bed planning to go to sleep when the door shut loudly behind me. 

"I'm taking a shower." Zak informed me, I stayed face down with my eyes closed. A cat nap would be perfect now..

"I'll leave the door unlocked." He hinted.

Still I didn't move, hearing a sigh from him, he went into the bathroom and closed the door. I rolled onto my back and undid my jeans tossing them on the chair opposite the bed before takin off my hoody as well. Once I was comfortable in a cami top and my panties I tried again. This time I was drifting off lovely.

I woke in warmth and instantly sat up seeing darkness. My legs and body were swamped in a blanket that Zak must have covered me with. His tshirt was left on the bed, I smiled and pulled it up under my nose smelling his cologne.

Even when he's mad, he still thinks of me.

Finding out a pair of his shorts from his bag, I pulled them on as well as his top before leaving the bedroom. Rubbing my eyes I found Bacon in the kitchen talking to himself.

"Should I be worried?" I asked looking at him, that was until I heard a snap. I blinked and looked at him again as he pulled apart beef jerky. The smile on his face said it all as I peered around the island to see a dog.

"Do I want to know?"

"She was scratching to come on, we don't have a name so I've named her." He smiled proudly.

"Go on.."

"I've named her Dog."

I chuckled lightly "Hey Dog." I spoke crouching down, she came over and pushed herself against me before looking back over at Bacon.

"Food orientated." I observed as she followed the hand with Beef jerky in. Not to mention the little barrel belly she had.

"I think she belongs to the owners who live couple fields over." He pointed to the window.

"That's a long way for you to come little girl. Just for some beef jerky." I petted.

"Oh Zak gave her cheese as well. Only a little bit."

"Let me guess, he let her in?"

Bacon smiled "Soft touch isn't he? Billy picked him up earlier. They should be in lockdown now."

I stood up rubbing my forehead annoyed that I had let him go ahead without clearing the air, I hoped that nothing would attach itself onto him because of our bust up this morning.

"He left in a reasonable mood. He even cooked himself dinner before leaving." Bacon added.

"Really?"

"Yup. He had a three bean chilli, god help them all tonight." He laughed tossing a bit more beef jerky to Dog.

It was known that when Zak ate beans... That they were all in for a windy night.

"Fingers crossed he's done by the time they finish. Have you eaten?" I asked.

"No, I've been tinkering around and feeding Dog."

I ended up cooking us food rather than getting take out, simply because driving the RV into town just for two of us was a bit extreme when we could have the crew here tomorrow night and all have food around the fire pit.
