“Those instructions were for a bad concussion. I’ve only got a moderate concussion. They gave you the wrong instructions. Your instructions should read that you go to bed with the concussed.”
“I don’t think so.”
“You can’t sit in that chair all night. You’ll be tired in the morning. You won’t be able to out-smart the bad guys.”
He had a point.
I lay down next to him. “We’ll leave the lights on so I can check on you. And you have to behave yourself.”
“I’ll be fine as long as you don’t fondle me when I’m sleeping.”
“I’m not going to fondle you! And you’re not supposed to be sleeping.”
I closed my eyes and instantly fell asleep. When I woke up the lights were off and the room was dark. I reached over to check on Hooker.
“I knew you couldn’t help yourself,” Hooker said.
“That wasn’t a fondle. That was a bed check. You were supposed to leave the lights on.”
“I couldn’t sleep with the lights on.”
“You aren’t supposed to sleep.”
“I can nap. Anyway, it’s impossible to sleep with the sound effects.”
And that’s when I heard it. Thump, thump, thump, thump. It was the bed in the next room hitting the wall. “Omigod.”
“Wait. It’ll get better. She’s a moaner and a screamer.”
“Not even.”
“Swear to God. Wait until you hear her. If it wasn’t for the headache I’d have a woody.”
“I don’t hear anything but thumping.”
“You have to be quiet.”
We lay there together in the dark, listening. There was some muffled moaning and then some mumbled talking.
“I can’t hear what they’re saying,” I said to Hooker.
“Shhh!”
The thumping resumed and some more moaning. The moaning got louder.
“Here it comes,” Hooker whispered.
“Yes,” came through the wall. “Oh yes. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God.”
Thump, thump, thump, thump. BANG, BANG, BANG.
I was afraid the picture hanging over our head-board was going to get knocked off the wall and crash down on us.
“OH GOD!”
And then it was quiet.
“Well,” Hooker said. “That was fun.”
