“You should go back to sleep.”

“When you do.”

“I might not sleep.”

“Then I won’t.”

“Please don’t stay awake for me. I feel awful for waking you up.”

“It’s okay.” He stops rubbing my head. “I’m always here for you.”

I roll over so I’m facing him. It’s dark, so I can barely make the outline of his lips out in the darkness, but I’m still tempted to kiss them. I bite my lip to keep myself in check.

“Did you have any dreams?” I ask.

“A few, but I barely remember them now. You should at least try to sleep.” He moves some hair out of my face and strokes my cheek.

I roll over on my back, and he goes back to rubbing my head.

We lay like that for a few minutes, both on our backs. Our breathing has become synced up, and he keeps rubbing my head. My eyes feel heavy.

“I don’t sleep well without Xanax.” I say with a sigh. “Could I stay here?” I ask softly.

“Yes. Let’s both try to sleep.”

“Thank you.”

I roll over so my back is to him. He keeps rubbing my head.

“Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.” I whisper back.

I fall back to sleep quickly, with Wes rubbing my head. I wake up to his arm wrapped around me and his hard dick poking me in the ass.

I carefully remove his hand from around me and slide out of the bunk. I go back to my bunk and check the time. It’s almost eight, and I can hear Sue up in the kitchen area.

I walk out there.

“Bathroom.” I say, holding my hand out for the key.

“Five minutes.” She demands, handing me the key.

I quickly use the restroom. I wash my hands and splash my face with some water.

“How did you sleep?” She asks. I shrug. “I didn’t give you a Xanax.”

“I survived.” I say, walking to the kitchen area. I pour myself a cup of coffee and grab a bagel.

“Is Wes still here?” She asks, taking a sip of her own coffee.

“Yeah.” I say, putting the bagel in the toaster. I add a splash of milk and three scoops of sugar to my coffee. I will be better.

“Did you use a condom?”

I roll my eyes. “We are just friends.”

“Sure. I got you a room for the next two nights.”
