Chapter 16

I woke up sometime later. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed it was dark outside. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, the trailer was full of candles and one of them must have been a scented candle because all I could smell was citrus, like lemon.

"She has arisen." Hutch teased.

I looked over at the table area and saw Sophie, Hutch, and Drew all sitting around the table playing cards.

"Are you hungry, hun? We saved you some food." Sophie said.

I stretched and walked over to them and slid in next to Drew, and Sophie slid a plate of covered food my way.

"Thanks." I said and lifted the foil.

I had woken up with a ravenous stomach. I ate as much as I could cram in without looking like a pig and washed it down with a bottle of water, and when they had finished their game I joined in the next one and we spent the night playing cards and getting to know each other. I found out Sophie and Hutch had been high school sweethearts, and they lived just down the road in the nearest town before everything turned to crap. Sophie was twenty-four and Hutch was twenty-five, and for their first date, he took her to McDonald's. They had planned to get married and have children but then the virus hit and everything changed. Sophie still wanted children but not right now. Drew was as quiet as ever and didn't really talk much. I just talked about all the places I had traveled on my way here. I didn't feel comfortable talking about my parents or anything from before, it brought back too many painful memories. It was nearly one in the morning when we finally decided to call it a night and Sophie and Hutch took themselves off to bed. I was surprised that I felt tired again. Drew took off his boots and shoved his pants down his legs. I used the bathroom again and nervously hovered near the kitchen, watching Drew as he pulled his t-shirt over his head and tossed it on the pile of clothes he had left on the floor. I was still in my skinnies and t-shirt. Earlier we hadn't been half naked when he laid down next to me, now he was only wearing a pair of tight black boxers and a pair of socks. He sat down on the edge of the bed and cracked his neck from side to side.

I quickly busied myself pouring myself another glass of water. Sophie did a good job of keeping the water jug filled with freshly cooled, boiled water.

"Pretty," Drew called softly, knowing I was stalling.

I left my glass on the side and tiptoed over to the bed and stood in front of Drew, not sure what to do.

"Maybe it would be better if I slept in the bedroom." I suggested.

Sleeping with Drew, like this, it felt too intimate. I knew we had had sex before, but cuddling all night, that was another thing.
