I coughed slightly and turned my head away from him, letting out a small stretch myself while a quiet groan left my lips at how stiff I was. I must have been extremely comfy for me to have stayed asleep on top of him for so long.
"You must be exhausted then." I awkwardly let out a chuckle as I thought about how I was just checking him out. My cheeks heated up slightly as he shook his head smiling softly. After everything that had happened I didn't expect him to agree with me, but looking at his features he really did seem well rested.
"Actually, I slept really well. Better than I have in a while." I couldn't help but smile at his words, I was unbelievably glad he had said that because I secretly never wanted him to leave again.
"Maybe you are like my own personal dream catcher then. I'll remember that for the next time exhaustion gets to me." I was completely joking, I really was, but Lewis simply smiled and stood up himself.
"I told you last night, I'm here for you, Dyl.” Just when I was about to turn him down the door knocked and John barged though and into the RV. His cheeks however quickly took on a red hue at seeing me stood so close to Lewis.
"Ahh, Dylan... I'm sorry to just come in, I should have waited outside, but V told me to get you..." The man suddenly looked at Lewis and nodded his head. "She's asked for you as well. I just wasn't expecting you to be here." I looked at Lewis in confusion before turning back to John who had nothing but panic on his face.
"Why does she need both of us?" I genuinely understood why she'd ask for Lewis, he actually helped to contribute to the place properly. Meanwhile I just stood with a clipboard telling people where to go and what to get. It was hardly meaningful.
“What?! Are you sure?” Lewis looked more startled than I was, but I suppose in the end he knew a lot more about it than I did. “We’ll head over there now.”
“Why would we go? It’s not like we can actually help with anything.” I shrugged my shoulders and sighed slightly when I saw Lewis’s tense body. He had spent all night with me on top of him, the least I could was to be there for him as well. “Ok…” Lewis didn’t have to say anything for me to know it was important. “We’ll go and check on the progress.”
He nodded his head before the three of us left and hurried over to the medical tent. Even I could here screams and shouts of agony before we had entered so only god knows how loud it must have been for Lewis. A small wince appeared on his face, but no noise was made as we entered the area.
