Chapter 18 Why Are you Here? (1/2)

I stayed in my bed, laying there not interested. I was curious what type of arrangements will they do but I decided not to care and just wait it out. Laying like this on my bed I head Rand saying ”Boy, this is your new roommate from now on”

I just stayed on my bed and did nothing. I simply ignored them. I could hear the old man snorting and saying ”I don't care if you like each other or not. Both or you are slaves and if you try to fight, both will be punished!”

I then heard him leave the house, closing the door behind him. I was still laying on my bed not moving. I then heard a woman's voice ”Where should I sleep?” I furrowed my brows and opened my eyes. When I looked at the woman standing next to the door waiting for my answer, I must admit I was confused. I asked ”What do you mean?”

She then answered me ”There is only one bed” I was even more confused and asked ”They will not provide a bed for you?” to which she said ”No”. This really was a problem. The bed was small enough for one person to sleep on and two people would never fit on it. Even if we were intimate, sleeping on top of one another would be tiring.

I asked her ”What do you propose?” When I saw her expression of confusion and anger I was dumbfounded as well. 'Did she expect me to give her my bed just like that? Why would I do that, because she is a woman? BAH! No way!'

After a while of awkward silence she finally answered ”How about we take turns sleeping on it. One day you and one day me?” It was a logical proposal and fair. But this world wasn't fair, so I said ”This seems fair but I don't agree to that”

She was angered even more and shouted ”Why? Because I'm ugly?” I looked at her in confusion again and thought 'I never said you were though'. Although she had not a very pleasing face as the scar looked terrible and made her face look bad, on the other hand the rest of her body was in very good shape.

I said to her ”No, it's because I need to be properly rested every day” She seemed to be angry but also relieved? Maybe because I didn't judge her looks and angry because I didn't want to share the bed with her.

She then stated as a matter of fact ”So you want me to sleep on the floor?” I simply answered ”You can sleep wherever you want” then I added ”How about this, for now I will let you sleep two times a week on bed” I can see her not being satisfied but I couldn't be heartless to her either. She didn't have it nice here so two nights out of seven in my opinion was a good deal.

She said with anger ”Fine!” and just sat in the corner. I laid down on the bed and said ”This is temporary, when I get some stuff, I will make something for you to sleep on” and then went to sleep. I didn't care if she believed me but that was all I could do for her.

Creating a bed from some vines, branches and what not would not be difficult. I would have to collect that first and as far as I stayed here, when I brought branches etc into my house the villagers said nothing about it.
