He came back into the room, holding the wrapped ice out as he did, then stopped short, instantly confused.
"Maya?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room. Where on earth would she have gone? And why? He knew he didn't walk into the wrong room.. it was her room, the pillow he'd put her leg on was still there, still creased a little in the middle from where her foot had been on it. If she needed something from back in the bathroom she would've just asked him to get it... did she just evaporate? It wouldn't be terribly shocking, given the turn things had taken.
He was just about to turn and go see if she'd gone back to the bathroom when she was on his back suddenly, wrapped around him like she was when they were in the water, only this time on his back. He stumbled forward a couple steps, not prepared to suddenly be jumped on, exclaiming as he did, "What the-?"
Catching himself on the bed, he stood up and looked over at his shoulder at her, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't believe she'd faked the whole thing, or that he so completely fell for it. He couldn't believe she'd carried it on for so long, either. But, despite himself, he grinned at her a little.
"Oh, that's a mistake!" he said, and he turned around, falling back on the bed to trap her under him. He reached to one of the legs around his waist and grabbed her ankle, then proceeded to tickle the bottom of her foot without mercy.
