Sleep

Chapter 4

By the time we arrive at the camp, I find Alexa asleep so I decide to wake her by gently shaking her shoulder and her eyes slowly open.

"We're here sleepy head" I say playfully with a smile as she stretches and yawns. I unbuckle her seatbelt for her and I get out to open her door.

"Why cant you be like that with me?" Jess teases.

"Because you'll just punch me and say 'fuck off I'm trying to sleep' then I'll say 'we're here' and you'd be like 'does it look like I fucking care? I'm trying to sleep'". I explain.

"I wouldn't do that" she frowns. "That was just that one time with Ryan."

"Alright. Everyone out of my car and help me bring everything inside."

"Were not your slaves" Sam hisses.

"Wow look who decided to finally speak. And it's my car and half of the shit is yours you fucking slob so help me." I spit.

"This is why I don't speak. I'm going to be yelled at no matter what" Sam gets out of the car holding her bags as she makes her way to the cabin, stomping in rage.

"What was her problem?" Jess questions.

"Nothing, she's just a bitch sometimes" Ryan responds.

We all get out of the car, holding our bags in our hands. While making our way to the cabin, we all turn to admire the lake. The sun is just above the lake, causing an orange hue in the sky. The orange and pink clouds are painted in the sky. The reflection on the water mimics the sky with small tides coming in from the lake. Laughter and splashes from children are heard from nearby cabins.

After admiring the scenery, we make our way into the cabin. The cabin is light brown with some spots darker than others. There is a large window to the left of the entrance with 4 panes. When we walk inside, in front of us is a flag folded in the shape of a triangle in a glass case mounted on the wall. In the middle of the room  to the left, is a large circular glass table surrounded by elegant wooden chairs with unique designs on all of the backs. Hanging above the center of the glass table is a small glass chandelier with a light in the center of the glass.

In the living room, there are two large black couches facing each other with a coffee table in the center and the TV at the wall by the end of the couches. We put our bags behind the first couch temporarily and look around the cabin in awe.

"Look at this place, it's amazing!" Alexa squeaked excitedly. "I can live here!"

"Where are the bedrooms?" Ryan asks.

"They're downstairs. There's like 4 rooms I think" I answer.

I turn to see Jess staring at me, daydreaming. "What're you thinking about?"

"What? Oh, nothing"

I chuckle and turn to Alexa who has the biggest smile.

"Wanna check downstairs?" I ask her.

"Yes" she turns her head to me and she follows me to the stairs.

"We'll be right back, we just wanna check out the rooms" I announce.

"Can I come?" Jess begs.

"No. go find Sam. She might be in the kitchen making us all sandwiches" I chuckle lightly and head downstairs.

Once we reach the bottom, there is a short hallway with two doors on both sides. She walks into the first room on the right and I follow.

"This is a really pretty room" she mutters.

"Yeah, it is" I look at her and she fixes her hair behind her ear and looks at me. Jesus she looks so sexy in tank tops. Especially this grey one she is wearing with black leggings.

She admires the painting of Starry Night hung on the wall. We walk into the next room. This room is perfect for this mood. I switch the light on and the bed is in the center of the room against the back wall. The bed is wrapped in a red cover with white pillows. To the right of the bed is an oak wood dresser with an artificial plant in a tiny pot. To the left of the bed is a large closet with mirror doors. This room is perfect. I do the math in my head and this is perfect. Well sleep in this room and Ryan can sleep in a room by himself and Sam and Jess can get the other two rooms. It works perfectly. I mark this room as ours as I ask "you like our room?"

"I didn't know we were sleeping together" she smiles. "I wanted to from when I saw how beautiful the rooms are."

"I did the math and it works out perfectly.. unless you wanna sleep with Jess or Sam.."

"No. This is our room, John"

I walk over to her and look into her eyes as our foreheads gently touch and bring my hand up to her neck and rest my other hand on he hip. I move my lips closer to hers and she consents by leaning into my as well. Our lips move in sync as the pace slowly grows faster. She moves her hand up to my cheek and tugs me closer so our body's are now touching. Her body gradually lays onto the bed as i follow with me on top of her and my hands moving to her sides. The amount of sparks that she sends is overwhelming and i try not to get too carried away with this sensation, waiting for her to make the move if she has the intention. We hear a sniff and snap our heads to find Jess standing in the doorway and we both stand up in a heartbeat.

"This is a pretty room" Jess states.

"How long were you here?" Alexa asks.

"Oh, I was here for the first five minutes of you guys devouring each other's faces." she says with a smirk.

"Oh" we both manage to say as we scurry out of the room and back upstairs.

"Wait, John, can I talk to you in private?" Jess asks as i am a quarter of the way up the stairs.

"Sure" I say and Alexa walks up the rest of the flight and joins the others.

"John, you two aren't even dating. Is this like a friends with benefits thing or are you two actually dating but no one knows?" She questions with her arms folded and her eyes show pain.

"Why do you care, Jess?"

"Because I like you... a lot" she looks down at her feet as her voice slightly cracks.

I pull her close to me and she returns the gesture by wrapping her arms around me. My hand reaches up to her brown hair and gently tug on the end to force her to look up at me. "I can tell, you make it pretty obvious" I say softly with a smile. I lean down and our lips connect.

"What.. about Alexa..?" She asks inbetween kisses.

"She doesn't need to know."
