Sayen watched as Bianca entered the cabin and ran up to her room. They were supposed to be preparing for the next morning's activities. Sayen walked up and found her with her head buried in her pillow.
"Bianca?" Sayen quietly called to her.
Bianca turned her head.
"I'm sorry Sayen, not feeling so hot at the moment. Could you ask anyone who's down there to help you out in setting up the tables the way I want them?"
"Yeah, okay. I hope you feel better," Sayen responded before leaving the room.
Bianca buried her head in the pillow again. This was supposed to be easy, she thought. Clear plan, execute, go home. Going home was when it was supposed to be rough. She chastised herself, Brian... Pitt... Brian... what the hell is wrong with me?
Truth was, she knew exactly what was wrong and she had promised to talk to Brian later. She hadn't told anyone, not even Sayen. Tears started to form as she worried that Brian would judge her harshly. I'm supposed to be the strong one.
Sayen lightly tapped on Axe's shoulder as he was reading a comic book.
"Can you help me out for a while, we need to move stuff around."
"Oh yeah, of course," he replied almost too eagerly.
As they moved the tables around they had bumped into each other a few times and Axe felt his body responding. Down, down, he thought, reciting random Monty Python quotes in his head to distract himself.
As they rested, he stopped and just watched her run her fingers through her hair. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, he thought as he accidentally stared.
"What?" Sayen asked, seeing him looking at her.
"Oh nothing," he replied as he quickly looked away.
Sayen smiled, and recalling what she had felt the night before, and seen him trying to hide tonight, she thought, he really should just ask.
