Chapter 20: Patrick and Patricia
Elin was the first to stir of the group. She at first felt a little groggy and wanted to turn over and go back to sleep, but something was wrong with her bed. It wasn't as soft as it should be. Elin was about to sit up when she realized how different her pillow suddenly was. She moved her head to look towards where the head of her bed should have been and saw Kim.
The sight of the other woman brought Elin's mind back to the present. She remembered where she was, what had happened during the night previously, and what had been going on throughout the previous day. Though, the light seemed to be returning, even if it was still a little dim.
Elin enjoyed the feeling of Kim's body against hers and wished it could last just a little bit longer. She couldn't say when she'd ever felt like this before.
However, the spell she had been under as she was pressed against Kim, partly from Kim's own arm, was dispelled when the announcer spoke again.
"I'm happy to say that no one died during the night. We'll see what will come today, but first, no one completed the secret challenge through the night, but that's not surprising as completing it's a rare occurrence anyway. Right now we have 19 of the contestants still alive and right now no one has completed a single challenge. Though, the contestants have divided themselves up into seven teams. We look forward to seeing what happens today!"
Elin felt Kim begin to stir against her. Elin quickly made it look like she was still asleep a little longer, hoping maybe Kim would try to wake her with a kiss. She always loved the idea of that happening. She hoped that's what Kim would do, but she couldn't say for certain at the moment. She though Kim might be interested in her in that way, but she couldn't say for sure. She could only hope.
Kim groaned as she woke up. "Shit!" Kim snapped. "I didn't mean to fall asleep."
Elin felt Kim move against her, but didn't try to move Elin too much. At least until Elin felt Kim start to gently shake her.
"Time to get up, Elin," She gently said. "It's morning."
Elin groaned, not happy that this was how she was waking her up. However, she couldn't help but accede to Kim's request. Though, as Elin looked around, she felt a warm feeling inside as she saw Kim smiling at her.
"Good morning, my gem," Kim greeted, making Elin's warm feeling inside her grow.
