"Olaedo?"
Silence.
Worry crept into his chest.
He reached for the door handle and pushed it open slightly.
It wasn't even locked.
That was a relief.
He stepped inside and looked around.
Then he saw her.
Olaedo was asleep on the bed.
She had clearly been exhausted enough to fall asleep without even realizing how long she had been resting.
Chibuzor stopped at the doorway.
She looked completely unguarded.
Usually, Olaedo was always alert around him.
Very vibrant.
Ready to defend herself.
And always, always properly dressed.
But right now, she was fast asleep, completely unaware that he had entered the room.
She was dressed in simple sleepwear that left her more casually dressed than he had ever seen her before, though she was still properly covered.
Her room was messy.
Very messy.
Clothes thrown here and there. Shoes below the rack instead of on top.... And few unmentionables were on her desk.
He unconsciously looked away.
