The Princess's Swordsman

Robin and the Cruise Ship

Chapter 5

They walked through the town for another good hour. It was getting very late so Olvia as curious, "Where do you usually sleep? Outdoors I bet."

"Yeah, I prefer outside air over a stuffy bedroom," he looked at her, "You seem like someone who would rather sleep inside, so here we are." He gestured to the place they had stopped. Olvia read the sign, "Bellemere's Inn." They walked inside, it was still open to new guests thank goodness! The woman at the desk who was most-likely Bellemere greeted them, "Welcome to my inn! I'm Bellemere, I own the joint." Zoro stepped up, "One room please." Bellemere nodded and stepped away form the desk to show them their room. Zoro turned to Olvia, "Sorry I couldn't get you your own room. I don't have much money to tell you the truth."

"I understand." Olvia followed Bellemere, and Zoro followed behind Olvia. She was nervous. Did she have to spend a night in a room with a man she just met?

Their room was up stairs. But before Bellemere opened the door she looked at the two young people, "You guys on your Honeymoon or something?" Olvia's eyes grew wide and Zoro's face tensed up, his teeth were clinched and he began to sweat. (kind of like the face when he saw Igaram's wife for the first time XD).

"No, no. We're just um..." Olvia stuttered.

"I just wanted to give you kids a heads up, the walls aren't thick, so no funny business," Bellemere winked as she opened the door, "We'd hear everything." Zoro and Olvia instantly went hot and red of pure embarrassment. "Good night. Thanks for coming!" She closed the door behind her, "I need a man like that," referring to Zoro.

The two young people stood in the bedroom for a moment. Not knowing what to do. She broke the silence, "So, um... Where would you like me to sleep?"

"Huh? Oh.. um... I-it doesn't matter." He swallowed.

"Would, you mind if I took the bed?"

"Y-yeah that's fine!" She smiled at him then laughed as she sat on the bed, "What's so funny?" he asked going a bit red.

"This is a whole other side of you I've never seen before. It's funny." He went completely red.

"Sh-shut up!" She laughed at him again. She made herself comfortable on the bed, "Do you need a pillow or something?" she tuned over to ask him but he was leaning is back against the wooden wall, already snoring lightly. She smiled at how he seemed harmless when he was sleeping, "Good night... Zoro."

Olvia woke to the sun rays in the room, shining bright. The brightness of the room instantly made her happy. She was refreshed. Much to her surprise, Zoro was still sleeping! So she took it upon herself to wake him. No matter how hard she tried he would NOT wake up!!! "Zoro?" she tried everything. He was out cold. She then decided to go downstairs.

"Morning Bellemere," she greeted.

"Where's your boyfriend?" asked the owner of the Inn.

"He's not my boyfriend and he's upstairs sleeping. Do me a favor, when he gets up tell him I went for a walk."

"Sure thing... Did you sleep in the same bed with him?"

"Thank you Bellemere!" Olvia started to head out the door.

"He's really hot you know!" She called over her desk.
