Chapter 6

You know the kind of sleep that you wake up from and feel even more tired than you did when you first fell asleep?  It leaves your limbs like they’re full of lead and glues your eyes shut.  The kind of sleep some scientists would label as hibernation?  Well, I was trying to awaken from this kind of hibernation, but just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Instead of waking up, I decided to snuggle up to the mass of warmth that was cocooned around me.  Turning over, I pressed my face against the large warm pillow pressed against my backside.  I was a little annoyed that the pillow was hard as a rock, but it was so warm I decided to ignore that.  After resting my head on the pillow and falling back into my deep sleep I realized that my pillow was moving my head up and down.  It was in a rhythm sort of like a breathing pattern... Oh you have got to be kidding me. 

After prying my eyes open and breaking the thick coat of sleep sealing them, I found myself completely entangled with Adam again.  His heavy arm was pinning me down at my waist and his right leg was thrown over my hip, completely pinning me to the bed.  I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it a little bit, but I still felt slightly uncomfortable sleeping (spooning) with a boy I’d only known for about 3 days.

“Adam,”  I shook him lightly, trying not to disturb his peaceful sleep.

No response.

“Adam.”  I shook a little harder.

His arm tightened around me, I groaned.

Moving my mouth to his ear, I shouted, “ADAM.”

“Whaa?”  He grumbled.

“Let go of me please,”  He just rolled over and went back to sleep, finally freeing me.

I stepped off the bed, my legs a little wobbly from sleeping for so long.  My eyes travelled around the room, taking in my surroundings.  The room was pretty big, a little bigger than my bedroom at home.  The decorations were modern, but there was nothing personal on the walls except for one picture of a 30-something year old woman with the most beautiful blues eyes you have ever seen and long blonde hair.  Slightly confused by the one picture taped up on the wall above the bed, I continued looking around and noticed the two dressers in the room.  One had a very large plasma screen tv sitting atop it, the other had clothes strewn about it.  Other than that the room was spotless, like a hotel room.  I walked to one of the doors, hoping to find a bathroom, and I ended up walking into a very long hallway.  Every wall was made from glass, making it easy to see into each room lining the hall.  

It reminded me of a hotel or dorm or something, since there was rooms lining each side of the hall, and from the looks of it they were all bedrooms.  They were all very similar to the one I was sleeping in, except they all had more personal touches, like a poster of their favorite singer or their favorite color sheets.  There was no one up and walking around, and looking inside the rooms everyone seemed to be asleep.  Suddenly realizing how tired I still was, I stepped back into the room.  Looking down, I noticed I was still wearing my bathing suit and cover up.  Feeling uncomfortable I walked to the corner of the room, opposite the bed Adam was sleeping soundly in, and went to the door.  

Ahh, there it is.  My duffel bag was sitting on the counter of the bathroom en-suite.  I trudged over to it and searched through it until I found a clean pair of underwear, but was unable to find any clean clothes to wear as pajamas which was probably due to the lack of time I was allowed to pack.  I slipped on the underwear and looked around the bathroom for a towel.  Seeing a large rack of them, I wrapped a big white one under my arms and peeked back into the room.  Adam was still sleeping, so I tip toed into the room and made my way carefully to what I assumed was his dresser.  As quietly as I could I opened the top drawer and looked for something to wear.  All I could find were t-shirts, so not wanting to risk waking Adam by opening more drawers, I just pulled on on the biggest one I could and hoped it covered me up.
