Maybe tomorrow will be a better day?

The awkwardness continued into the night and after we'd eaten Alice decided to go to bed early while I stayed by the fire looking into it, 'God fucking damn it, this is all fucked. I knew things'd get awkward as fuck. This is exactly the opposite to what Alice said would happen and even worse every time I try to clear my head I just see her staring up at me smiling as she savoured my dick or I imagine things going further than that,' I complained internally.

The last embers of the fire were dying as I looked up to the night sky, it was breathtaking how beautiful the sky was without any light pollution, the stars were crystal clear and the nebulas were even visible, I thought about sleeping out by the fire pit while staring up into the sky but if I did that I'd probably wake up with the worst sunburn of my life.

I headed over to where our shelter was, I opened the door to see Alice lying there in the hammock, still completely nude and facing away from me. I looked down to the leaves I'd piled up under the hammock and began to get down but halted, "I told you, you aren't allowed to sleep down there, bugs will make you their main meal," Alice's voice was quiet and soft but it still made me jump.

I really wanted to get into the hammock with her, but I also thought it was such a bad idea. Against my better judgement, I climbed into the hammock and **** myself to face away from Alice.

The wind picked up in a hurry, it felt like the walls were moving and the sudden gust also took the heat. The only way to stay warm would be to huddle together but I was still feeling tension and was ****, I could have gone out and gotten some clothing but at the same time that meant doing out into the freezing cold and getting blown all over, that reminded me that I hadn’t checked or moved our clothing, it was highly likely that the wind had already stolen them, they could be in the sea, the forest, possibly up or down the beach or even buried under the sand.

After shivering for ten minutes while trying to think of any fix for this current predicament, I caved. I turned my body around and cuddled closely to Alice who was shaking like a leaf, she didn’t say anything but as soon as I was close she seemed to stop shivering and let out a breath of relief.

While laying there and quickly warming up I decided to think of something else in order to not, ‘have a problem’. What I thought of was that our shelter wasn’t good enough, four crudely woven walls were okay for storing firewood or whatever but we needed something better. Tomorrow I’d begin making a new shelter, one with outer and inner walls and room between to insulate.

Alice could go in search of materials to fill the void between the walls which would give me more time to try figuring out what to say to her, or at the very least clear my head again.

Soon enough sleep began to take me, and as it did I felt a wave of relaxation roll over my entire body.
