As she was brushing, her mind started wandering. She was still curious. Who had knocked on the door earlier? She suspected, that the most likely culprits had to be Raina, Cain, both or maybe it was the floor attendant. Although, there was no use in her trying to determine who it was, she could not get her mind off of it. It didn't do her any good. Even if she could figure out who it was, it would be pointless less, because she would not know the reason why they came.
She did not want to keep thinking about it. The thoughts, of who and why, might keep her up all night. She knew they would probably find out, who it was in the morning. Ino finished brushing her teeth. She still did not feel tired, but she decided she should still go lay down and try to go to sleep. She got into bed facing Chester. She was trying to sleep on her side.
Ino closed her eyes, even though she thought she was genuinely not tired. She attempted to sleep. Surprisingly, within minutes she fell a sleep. The next morning, Ino was slowly waking up. She felt something wet on the side of her cheek. With her eyes still closed she wiped the drool off her face onto her night shirt. She now solved the drool mystery. Drool on her face is evidence. She had brushed her teeth right before bed and still drooled.
This disapproves the theory, that people only drool at night, when they don't brush their teeth. Ino was still groggy and wanted to go back to sleep. Something was smushing her nose. She tried swatting it away. She felt something firm. It still kept smushing her nose. She was speculating that it was a naughty body part and began waking up. She slowly opened one eye lid and then the other. It was not what she was expecting.
"What are you doing?" Ino asked Chester.
"Checking if your breathing, the same way you check if I'm breathing." Chester responded and laughed.
"Oh, my senses must be off I thought it was something else poking my nose." Ino smiled.
Chester dropped his jaw and furrowed his eyebrows, "Are you being serious? What did you think was poking you? How dare you! I'm way bigger, than my fingers."
He held his hand up to his face with his palm facing outward. Chester continues to spread his fingers and bring them back together. He was studying the size of his right hand, as if he was considering the comparison.
He put his pinky up to Ino's nose and said, "It's not my fault my fingers are bigger than your nostrils, that's why it's unable to go up your nose. My pinky needs your nostrils to merge into one for it to fit."
She could not help but laugh. Ino was laughing hysterically. Chester softly hit her, with his pillow repeatedly.
"I thought it was your elbow! Your elbow! Elbow!" Ino yelled.
"Yeah, sure you did!" Chester responded rubbing the pillow in Ino's face.
Ino pushes the pillow off of her and ran to her suitcases, near the bathroom, to avoid being attacked by pillows.
"I'm going to shower and get ready." Ino said giggling.
Ino ran quickly to grab her outfit for the day, and shut the door to the bathroom. Chester heard the toilet flush and the sink turn on, followed by the shower. Chester was left still kneeling on the bed, with a pillow in his hands. He lifted the pillow in front if him to behind his head.
He laid down and questioned himself, "Did Ino really insult his manhood? Naahh! Everyone knows elbows are bigger than fingers." He grinned.
Chester dragged himself off the bed, and went to get his clothes and get ready for his shower. They both finished getting ready. Ino was walking in front of Chester grabbing her purse, headed towards the door. Chester followed her. Ino glanced back towards the front of the pod to ponder, if she was forgetting anything.
Chester said jokingly, "Yeah... okay, to check if I'm a live. Why? We're you trying to kill me in my sleep? My nose tried to protect me, by swallowing your fingers? Really, if this is a weird kink you have, I will start saving my boogers for you."
Chester you look swell. This dress shirt makes you look so sophisticated," Ino complimented.
Chester was flushed with pleasure of belong complimented.
Chester said, raising his eyebrows, "Is that a real compliment or a forced one to get yourself out of trouble?"
"A little of both, but you do honestly look handsome. What should we have for breakfast? I'm getting a little impatient and hangry," Ino questioned.
"Well we wouldn't want you to hangry would we. Do you feel like breakfast foods?" Chester suggested,
Ino recommended, "Does eggs, hash browns, and bacon, sound good?"
"Sounds good to me. Hold on, before we go stand still for a second." Chester said.
"What's up? Did you forget something?" Ino asked.
Chester took her by the arm and looked over Ino's left shoulder, then her right shoulder.
"What? What's on me? What did you see? Is it a spider?" Ino exclaimed.
"Stand still!" Chester commanded.
Ino's back stiffened. She feared she had a bug on her. She looked up at Chester with fear in her eyes, but did not move. She was wondering, when it would be okay to move again. A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead. He acted as if, he was looking at Ino and her outfit. He analyzed her from the top of her head and moved down. He took her hand and slowly made her twirl.
Ino was calmly confirming in her mind, that there had to be a vermin move if around on her. She then became startled as Chester abruptly walked right up to her. He was inches from her. He gazed at her face. Ino begun tensing up. The fingers on both hands, curled up into a fist. Her fist were resting on the sides of her body. Her fight or flight response was slowly being triggered.
"Is something on my face?" Ino squealed.
"Stay still," Chester told her.
He then acted like he was going to rub something off her face, but picked up his elbow to rub on her cheek.
"This is how an elbow feels, I just thought you should know." Chester chuckled.
Ino lightly slapped Chester, on his arm. She frowned and was noticeably irritated at the gimmick Chester pulled.
"I have nothing, but love for you," he advanced, pleased with the farce.
"Love and gold, right?" Ino smirked, but she was suddenly caught off guard, when he grabbed her by the waist and slyly stole a kiss from her.
"Plenty of gold," He pursed his soft lips from enlightenment.
She raised one eyebrow, out of bewilderment. It was hard for her to hold any ill feelings toward him, because he was always keeping the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. He winked at her in return.
"If a stranger overheard us, they would literally believe that, I was a gold digger." Ino countered.
