Chapter Twelve

I bolted upright in the bed, panting and trembling. For a moment I wasn’t sure where I was or how I got there. My eyes darted around the room. Bit by bit, I recognized the beige walls and the large hotel bed. I looked down at Alex sleeping next to me, watching the rise and fall of his chest for a moment to convince myself it was real.

He is alive... He’s okay...

I knew it didn’t make sense. My dream was about Tutankhamun, not Alex, but still, it calmed me some just to see him there. I ran my hands through my hair and took a deep breath. Letting it out slowly, I told myself again it was all in my head. I lay back down and cuddled up next to him.

“You okay?” Alex asked sleepily as he wrapped his arm around me..

I kissed his shoulder and snuggled closer, “Yes. Just a bad dream.”

“About Tutankhamun?”

“Yes.”

He rolled over and faced me. Wrapping his arms more securely around me, he buried his face in my hair.

“It’s going to be okay,” he whispered hot in my ear. “I promise.”

I closed my eyes and inhaled the scent of his skin, surrounding myself in the realness of him. I tried to convince myself that he was right.

I’m okay...I’m safe...

I fell into a dreamless sleep until morning. The sun streaming in the window woke me up. When I opened my eyes, the nightmare from the night before felt distant and harmless.

I reached out toward Alex, but only touched the empty pillow beside me. I sat up and looked about the room, trying to convince myself there was no need to panic.

Just then the door opened and Alex came in with a tray of breakfast foods.

“What is this?” I asked as I tried not to look too relieved.

“I thought after your rough night you could use a little pampering,” he said with a smile as he set the tray on the bed.

I looked down at the juice, eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. It was such a simple gesture, but still, it made me smile.

“You made all of this?” I asked.

He leaned down and kissed my forehead, “No, but I did call down for room service. Anything to make you feel better.”

I watched as he raked his hair back into a ponytail on his way to the closet. I watched as he dressed, the delicious ripples of his muscles under the skin as he pulled on a fresh shirt. I was tempted to ask him back into the bed, but I had other plans for the day.

“Do you really want to make me feel better?” I asked.

He nodded, “Of course I do. What do you want?”

“I want to see Tutankhamun’s tomb again.”

Alex stopped and frowned, “I don’t think that’s such a good idea after what happened last time. It seemed to shake you up pretty bad. Why would you want to risk it?”

I nodded and took a bite of the toast. Maybe it was just the memory of the dream so close, I felt like I was just on the tip of finding out everything.
