M-whY

Someone sat on my bed. At first, I didn't think too much of it, figuring it was someone coming in late at night and trying to reach the top bunk.

"[Something something]" she whispered to me in what sounded like German, or heavily accented English.

"Huh?"

"[Something something]" she repeated.

"Yes?"

"[Something something]" she whispered again.

"No?"

Whatever language she was speaking, we were mutually incoherent.

We stared at each other for a minute. Then she leaned over and started rummaging through my bag. My money belt was securely around my waist, and I could feel my laptop next to me, so I patiently waited to see what she was looking for.

After a few moments, she straightened up and just sat there. By this time, I was wide awake. I sat up next to her. I could make out her face through the faint light coming in through the window. She looked scared. She had no shirt on, only her bra.

I put my arm around her to get her attention. "Do you know where your bed is?" I asked.

"No." At least we were speaking the same language now.

I looked around at the bunks and saw an empty bed with someone's backpack underneath. I figured that's where she had been.

I started to get up and took her hand. "Here, want me to show you to your bed?"

She pulled me back down. "No." What was going on??

We sat there for a few more moments. Then she turned to me and asked, "Where do you sleep?"

"Here. I sleep here."

She asked again. "Where do you sleep?"

"I sleep here. This is my bed."

I moved over, making some room for her to lie down. Just in case.

A few more seconds passed. All of the sudden, it seemed like she woke up. "Sorry." She stood up and walked to her own bunk. As she got up, I could see she had no shorts on either, only a skimpy thong. Whoa.

What a weird night.
