"I think we may need to stay at a hotel for a day. It's getting pretty late and  both of us need a shower." Andrew states. 

"Nice try Andrew. I'm not showering with you." 

"What? No, I meant separately. But hey if you want to, I don't mind." I blush at my idiotic thoughts and mutter,

"Just drive."

After around an hour, we end up in a dingy-looking motel and I cringe up my nose at the sight. I raise an eyebrow at Andrew and he shrugs in return, 

"This isn't exactly a fairy-tale, nor are we made of money." 

"Fair enough." 

Fortunately while driving I held my clothes out the window to air dry them, they were only a tad moist now. I start putting on my jeans and I hear Andrew awkwardly clear his throat and pretend to look in the other direction. I let out a little snort and shake my head,

"Relax Andrew, we've seen each other naked before remember?" He looks down at his legs, and laughs at the memory.

"That definitely didn't count. We were nine."

"Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe." I simply reply.

I feel my muscles relax as the low-pressured water hits me in the very dim-lighted, small, bathroom that smells like it's in desperate need of a Febreze commercial. I complete all the hygienic tasks and just enjoy the water. They ended up only having one available room . . . with only one bed. I get out of the shower and wipe myself dry before putting on my undergarments and Andrew's shirt that goes down mid-thigh. I tug uncomfortably at it, but then shrug my shoulders. Who cares anymore.  I open the door and see Andrew using his towel to dry his hair. I watch him as the muscles in his back flex, and I feel a tingling sensation in my stomach that I try to ignore. Fortunately, it was pretty easy for me to when I feel something furry run accross my foot. I jump on the bed in shock and scream. Andrew turns around in an instant just in time to see the gigantic rat scurry under the bed. Shadow runs away from the bed into a corner when he saw the rat and I raise my eyebrows, 

"Shadow, you're afraid of rats too? Looks like you really are my dog." I joke while scanning for any more visible rodents. Shadow whimpers in return and I mentally "aww".

"Well looks like neither of us are sleeping on the ground." Andrew states seriously. 

"Yeah . . . I mean we've slept in the same bed before. It's not that big of a deal," I say, trying to convince myself more than him. 

"Indeed." Andrew says slowly, scanning my body and I see him gulp making his adam's apple bob. I pretend not to notice and carefully get down from the bed. I grab a hair tie and make a messy bun. Not exactly one of those "cute" messy buns, but more of a careless one. I turn off the light and literally jump into bed only to land on a hard body. 

"Ow." Andrew says, rubbing his chest. I let out a little laugh, 

"That was your fault. You shouldn't have been in my way," I tease. I feel my heart threatening to pop out of my chest, so I get off him and move over to the farthest side away from him. I turn my back to him and pretend to fall asleep. After about 10 minutes I hear Andrew whisper,
