Chapter 42

Umena's POV

I was about to leave quietly. I don't want them to know I saw them together. They might feel awkward.

"Umm...Umena is that you?" Izna says with a sleepy voice.

"Ye...yes. I ..I am leaving. I don't want to disturb you."

"What are you doing here? It's almost midnight." She rubs her eyes.

"I couldn't sleep so.... I thought...."

"Oh I get it. Come sleep with us."

"M...me?? Sleep here?"

"Yeah. My bed isn't too big but we're so skinny we can sqeeze in together."

"What will Horus say?"

"Don't worry about him. He sleeps like a log. He won't even notice you are here. Come up here."

I climb in the bed with them. I've always slept alone. This feels weird to me but it's fun.

"You guys always sleep together?" I ask her.

"Nah! He doesn't sleep. He will just sit there all night and guard me."

"Really? He doesn't sleep?"

"Yeah. That's what he says."

"Must be tough."

"You know what, I don't believe him. When I was little I used to have nightmares. I always asked him to sleep with me. He'd pass out almost after hitting the pillows. I doubt he stays awake all night. Maybe he learnt to sleep with his eyes open and just pretends to guard me."

I can't hold my laugh. It might be true. Seeing him sleeping like this, I myself can't believe he stays awake all night. To tell the truth, he looks better when he's sleeping.....

"What are you thinking about? Let's sleep." Izna pull me into her arms. I'm getting crushed between her huge breasts. I can't breathe properly. But this feels nice. She has a motherly smell on her that comforts me. I hug her back. Horus suddenly turns to us in his sleep and hold both of us close to his chest. Praise the gods!!! It feels so warm and peaceful. After ages I'm not sleeping alone anymore. I have people who accept me, care for me, hug me to sleep. I want to stay like this forever.
