"It is nice. I forgot how fun it was to be inside your head," chuckled Wang Chao as he continued to pet the top of my head from where it was sticking out from under the covers. "But you are the only one with coffee unless you really want to try whatever is in this hotel room. However, I don't know how much I trust the water."
"Are you trying to con your way into getting a cup of coffee from yourself?" I demanded in mock outrage.
"Well, can you bla a man? I had to drink mud water. And as much as I am sure that there are a lot of benefits to it, it is not a cup of coffee," he smiled as he reached under the blankets and pulled up onto his chest. He then rearranged the covers over top of us and wrapped his arms around .
"I am so sorry, little one," he said in a soft voice as he gently placed a kiss on the top of my head. "You have no idea how sorry I am for everything. The fact that I almost lost you before I could make it up is killing ."
"You almost lost ?" I asked, confused. Did he almost die on the road? Is that what he is talking about?
"You got shot, rember?" he asked, looking down at concerned. "Do I need to call Bin An Sha? He said that he managed to completely heal you, but if you can't rember anything, I can get him to check you again. Bin An Sha!" he shouted before I could even get a word in edge-wise.
I tried to think about what he was talking about, but I… ah, yeah, the fucking commander shot after a fucking zombie tried to rip my shoulder out.
"I rember," I groaned as a new man ca barreling into the room I was currently in.
"What is going on? Is she still in pain? I can't feel any pain coming from her. Where is she hurt? Did you hurt her?!" he yelled as he approached the bed.
I blinked at him a few tis, but I honestly had no idea who he was. "Um—" I opened my mouth, but I was quickly cut off.
"It's okay, Precious; I will make sure that you are all better, okay? Now, tell where it hurts?" demanded the hulking giant. I blinked at him a few tis as I tried to process his words. My brain, still cloudy from sleep, was not working well.
I needed coffee.
Taking the first cup of coffee out of my space, I took a few sips before turning my attention back to Wang Chao and the chaotic stranger.
"I swear to God, if you have hurt her, I will slit your throat," sneered the stranger as he took a stethoscope from under his shirt and put it into his ears.
"You can try, but we both know you won't succeed," replied Wang Chao with a sneer of his own.
Oh goody, they were friends. That made it a bit less awkward, seeing as, yes, I was naked under the covers.
"I told you to leave her alone until she woke up naturally," yelled the stranger as he ca to sit on the edge of the bed beside Wang Chao.
I nodded my head. I liked him. He thought I needed more sleep and should not be disturbed. He is now on my good stranger list and not my bad stranger list. The commander is definitely on my bad stranger list.
"What happened to the commander?" I asked, looking up at Wang Chao as I took another sip of my coffee.
"Is that coffee?" demanded the stranger as he tried to reach for my cup. "Mud water has so many more benefits than coffee does, especially with what you went through. Here, give the cup, and I'll give you so mud water. If you are good after a few days, you are more than welco to have your coffee back."
Nope, he was firmly back on the bad stranger list. No one took away my coffee and lived to tell about it.
Contemplating how I could kill him and not have to move too much, I felt Wang Chao vibrating under . Stupid mind reading.
"This is Bin An Sha," said Wang Chao as an introduction. As if I cared about the na of the man who wanted my coffee. I narrowed my eyes at him and started chugging my drink before he could take it away from . "He is a long-ti acquaintance of mine and Liu Wei's." Wang Chao continued as if that was a glowing recomndation for anyone right now, especially soone that wanted to take my coffee.
Did I ntion this stranger, this Bin An Sha, wanted to take my coffee? He probably wanted to drink it himself.
"Yes, I am sure that he would love to drink your coffee," smiled Wang Chao as he looked over at the other man. "However, he is also a healer. Would it be okay if he just took a mont to look you over and made sure that everything was okay?"
Quickly finishing off the rest of my coffee, not caring that it was burning its way down my esophagus, I nodded my head.
"Fine, but only because you asked so nicely. And I do rember the commander now; what happened to him?" I asked as I vanished my mug and rolled over onto my back, still leaning against Wang Chao.
Making sure that the covers still covered the important parts, I looked over at Bin An Sha.
"Beta ripped him apart, and then I threw him into the water," answered Wang Chao with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Which commander is this?" asked Bin An Sha as he ca forward, holding his stethoscope up as if silently asking for permission. I nodded my head as I took the chance to study the man.
He was not what I would call handso. Not in comparison to Wang Chao and the rest of my n, but he definitely had a certain beauty.
Or I had a certain type.
