Twenty: 

Noah:

I felt disgusting.

While my stomach was feeling better, I took full advantage.

I was able to get up and take a quick shower.

Baird could find me when he was ready to let me in on his plan.

I know he said it would just be twenty minutes, but I couldn't just sit there and wait.

When I got back to my room, Baird was standing there expectantly.

"Oh," he said, surprised, "Are you feeling better?"

He looked at the tablet in his hand to check my vitals.

I wasn't wearing anything so that he could check them.

"Noah," he said, "You know the rules."

"I just needed a shower," I stated, "Besides, I was going to put them back on when I got to my room."

I grabbed the watch off the nightstand and bound it to my wrist.

"See," I showed him the device strapped to me.

"Yes," he said, "I can see it."

I sat on my bed and sighed.

There was this sensation under my skin that I couldn't shake.

It wasn't painful, it was just annoying.

It almost felt like I had an itch that I couldn't scratch, no matter how hard I dug my nails in.

"Your vitals do not look much better," Baird stated.

I didn't feel much better, so I didn't really expect the numbers to change.

"You will be glad to know," he said, "Shay is on her way here."

I looked up at him quickly to see if he was joking or not.

"What?" I gasped, "She is?"

"I thought she might be able to help."

Or she might make things harder.

I didn't want to think too much about it.

Maybe I should have jerked off in the shower.

"When?" I asked.

He glanced down at the tablet again.

"Soon."

Fuck.

"You will be glad to know that while you were showering," Baird said, "I took care of tidying up for you."

I didn't even realize that he really did.

There were no clothes on the floor.

Even the smell of vomit was gone.

I was thankful.

"Thank you," I said.

He nodded, "Just make sure that you are ready."

"Where are we meeting?" I asked.

There were a few different rooms we used for the volunteer program. I just needed to know which one to go to.

"She is coming here," Baird said.

"I know," I said, "But which room?"

Why did I feel so tired? If I couldn't sleep, at least I should feel more awake.

"Noah," he said, meeting my eyes, "She is coming here, to your room."

Was I shaking?

Baird actually blurred as I stared at him.
