"Go to sleep princess, don't worry I'm here." I say gently and watch her drift off to sleep. She's so cute sleeping. I smile softly at this sight of her, calm and comfortable sleeping next to her bee stuffy I got her.

Carmen finally went into little space in front of me. It was the first time I've seen her in her little space. She wasn't to far into it but she did go into it enough for me to notice. Does this mean she's comfortable around me? Are we finally getting somewhere?

I should really stop over thinking this. She probably just went into little space because she's sick. I smile once more at the sigh of her. God she's so beautiful, I gently caress her cheek then stand up.

The medicine made her sleepy but it should calm down her fever she has. I get from beside her bed and walk over to the basket. I grab a couple things from it and walk out the room, closing the door halfway.

I walk into the bathroom and place the things down on the counter. I'm going to get Carmen a nice warm relaxing bath for when she wakes up. She probably is gonna want one when she wakes up.

I get my phone out of my pocket and search up, "what things do I need for a relaxing bath"

I really don't know what goes into a bath half the time I just put warm water and bubbles, but I want Carmen to have a nice bath time when she wakes up so I actually have to try.

Most of the things it lists I have here which is perfect! But I don't have a bath pillow. What the fuck is a bath pillow? Can't I just use a normal pillow? Ima just use towels as a bath pillow. I can't leave Carmen here alone just to get a "bath pillow"

I roll up a couple towels then place them neatly on the end of the bathtub so she can rest her head on. I turn on the bath and wait for the water to warm up. The tub fills up and as soon as it is filled I turn it off and grab the bath salts. Apparently these are good for sore muscles. Do I need to give the water a mix? Is it like a a soup, do I need to mix the salts up? Whatever I'll just ask carmen when she's up.

I grab the essential oil and put some into the bath. It starts to smell like lavender in the bathroom. Such a good smell. Don't worry though the bath won't cool down it'll stay at a nice temperature because my mom decided to install heating things into the all the tubs in the dorms when they were being built. She really thinks about everything.

I put the temperature to be at a nice 97 degrees. I stand up from squatting near the pool and throw away any trash I left in her bathroom. I look at the time and an hour has passed already. Was I really this slow setting up a bath? Oh well had to make it perfect!

I walk out the bathroom and peak my head into Carmen's room. She's sleeping peacefully in bed hugging her bee. I quietly walk away from her door and make it to the sofa in the living room part of the dorm.

I'm kinda surprised Carmen didn't make the dorm to be colorful like all the other littles. I mean there are some things to show she's a little in here in her dorm, but it's not like the other littles. It's very age appropriate for her.

I wonder why she chose to make it like this? I mean I get she's rarely in little space, but even then why not make it 'fun'. I shouldn't judge this is her space not mine.

As I stand here looking at her dorm I hear her rustle a lot in her blankets as if she's uncomfortable. I rush to her bedroom to make sure she's okay.

"N...n...no...please don't....touch me....please stop...stop..." she keeps rustling in her blankets and hugs her bee tighter. I quickly go to her side and shake her softly to wake her up.

She wakes up and jumps terrified. She breathes heavily and fast. "Hey don't worry it's just me Zane," I say not touching her. From what I got from her dream she probably doesn't want to be touched. She keeps on breathing heavily just looking at me scared.

"You're okay Carmen. No one is here but me and you. Whatever you dreamed up isn't here. Just me and you love" I say softly and in a relaxing tone. I don't want her to feel more overwhelmed than she already is.

"Then why does it feel real." She begins to cry. She curls up into herself and hugs her stuffy. I wanna give her a big hug but I don't think touching her right now will help. I swallow hard and feel horrible, I hate seeing her like this.

"He was right...I'll never stop seeing him..." she says through her tears. She coughs, I get her a water bottle and open it for her. "Here drink some water" I offer her. She shakes her head no to me.

Who does she mean by "him"? Who hurt my precious little princess. I clutch my fist just thinking about someone hurting her. I hate seeing her in this type of state. I sigh, and lightly caress her shoulder.

She calms down after a bit. I offer her the water again and she takes it from me, taking a sip from it. Her breathing is still a bit heavy but she's calmed downed.

"Do you wanna take a bath?" I ask. It'll help her relax and she seems to be out of her little space now. She looks at me and nods removing her blankets off of her.

We walk to her bathroom and her eyes kinda sparkle a bit. I take it she likes this little thing I surprised her with just now. "You set all of this up...for me...?" She ask tentatively. I nod at her yes and give a warm smile.

"Uh...thank you," she simply tells me. We look at each other in the eyes locking eyesight. Her eyes are such a pretty color. Her lips look so soft. We stay looking at each other in a calm and sweet feeling. It doesn't feel a bit awkward or anything. It feels nice...

"Can you get out? Not to be rude or anything but...uh...you know I'm going to undress..." she says breaking our silence.

"Oh yeah right...I'll...be outside once you're done and feel comfortable for me to come in just holler my name out and I'll come." I say as I walk backwards to the door awkwardly. I shut the door behind and walk to the living area.

I sit down on the sofa and lay my head on one of her throw pillows which says "Ceaselessmena". Hmm...interesting, she's one of this streamers fan as well? Alex and all the other littles love this content creator.

Personally myself I don't, things like that really don't catch my interest. The only reason I went to that streaming event thing was because everyone was going and Carmen was supposed to go but didn't. So obviously Olivia went which I hated every second of.

Ugh, I don't even want to think about her. I pull out my phone and go onto YouTube to watch a couple videos before I hear Carmen tell my name out.

"Zane can you get me a towel please...they're in the closet!" She says from the bathroom.

I stand up and walk to the closet. I turn the knob on the door and it's locked. Why would this closet be locked? I try turning the nob again and it's actually locked. "Hey Carmen the closet it locked!" I say from here.

"Not that one...uh...I mean the one in my room!" She yells. Her voice sounded a bit nervous. Hmm...interesting...

I walk over to her bedroom closet and grab a towel. I go to the bathroom and knock on the door.

She reaches a hand out only and I give her a towel. In a couple minutes she comes out in a cute light pink pajama set which had little strawberries on them.

She goes into her bedroom and I follow behind her. She gets into bed and covers herself again with blankets. "Before you take your other medicine you have to eat something. So what do you want to eat? I'll get you whatever you want." I say.

"Anything...?" She questions. I nod yes. She smiles brightly at this.

"Can I get chick-fil-a nuggets with chick-fil-a sauce, the waffle fries and Mac and cheese, with uh...a lemonade, and possibly a fudge brownie please" she smiles big at me with her puppy dog eyes. I really want to say no to the lemonade and fudge browning because that'll just be to much sugar for her but those eyes. And she's sick, I can't say no to her she's sick!

"Fine, I'll be back with that order of yours, but you better promise me to take your medicine when I come back," I say sternly.

"Promise, pink swear" she puts her pinky in front of me and I interlock mine with hers. She smiles the goes back into her blankets with her phone. That's the first physical interaction we've had since...well out fight.

I smile as I walk out her dorm. Maybe we are getting somewhere...
