Rico

I was looking at the storm passing us by. The storm is gone. I seen the sky again. Lesi was still sleep because she doesn't like the storm. I seen Madison by her father's grave, and she was very upset. But I decided to give her space. She really does need it...I look around all of the bodies and seen that our dead friends were having their own Thanksgiving. I sighed. I heard Lesi screaming and happy. I heard a familiar voice

"Lesi, Rico. We miss you..." I heard Elena's voice through the walkie talkie. I ran inside. "I really hope you guys rest in peace wherever you are."

"We are alive Elena." I felt the smile in her voice

"You are!!!" Elena was smiling I heard it in her voice. "Hey guys come here they are alive!! But how I thought you guys were bitten?"

"Well...we are immune to the virus." Me and Lesi looked at each other.

"You should come to Las Vegas." Elena said

"It was all a lie though..." My dad said "Nobody is here its just lights and no one else. We only found a doctor scientist."

"Well. Make something out of it. You know people all around the world will be coming for this specific place. We will be here soon."

"Okay you guys I want to tell you so much now..." Gunshots were heard on the other end and it began to static

"Elena you're breaking up!!" Lesi yells

"We gotta go" I heard my dad and more gunshots. Then the walkie talkie stops.

"No...Noo please come back..." Lesi started crying and she hugs me.

"Do you want to go somewhere to clear your head?" Lesi looks at me and nods.

"What about us?" Madison says as I throw her Lesi's deagle.

"Now that shit is loud as hell." I say "If you shoot it, we gon come back to infected trying to break the damn door. Just keep hitting them if you are outnumbered then use it." I wrap my arm around Lesi as we both walked out the house. We both looked at the street and at the scientists that we torn apart and demolished and we both kept walking.

still Rico
I looked at her and she was silent. She looked like she was blushing hard as hell though. I saw something from a distance

"Lesi. You see that..." It was something on four legs and we thought it was a puppy. So, we ran to it. And saw it ran in the café trash can. We both creeped very slowly and there it was.

"OH MY GOD a baby tiger

"OH MY GOD a baby tiger." Lesi squeals as the tiger walk up towards us Lesi pets it and the cub just rub against Lesi. "We should name it" She picks it up

"Your baby tiger you mean?"

"It's our baby Rico." Hearing the 'our' makes my stomach twist. I look at the tiger and smile

"Well, it looks like a boy tiger so Thai. Not like Tye Dye but like Thailand." Lesi smiles and she cuddles Thai. He purrs. As we heard some kind of roar. But it was bigger badder and more deadly. I grab Lesi hand as we hid behind the counter, I took a quick peak.

"Lesi...Remember that one zombie game you love to play?" I whispered

"Yeah why."

"Well, I'm gonna say this right now. He is big as a tank." Lesi throws Thai to me and peeks as she sees the monstrous infected that haunted her gaming career. She gets back down shocked.

"How are we gonna get past that."

"Aye you play Left 4 Dead you got the plans."

"Rico...learn something" I raise my eyebrow "We don't have weapons; we don't have a Molotov cocktail and if we were to come close to him, we would be crushed by them cars or punched off somewhere." I look at the storage room.

"Oh my god we are always gonna be locked in somewhere. Seriously who writes our story?" Lesi punches my shoulder "Okay sorry."

"Back into character" Lesi crawls to the storage room with Thai right behind her. She peeks one more time and she shut the door and I seen that Thai ran over to the corner and I seen a tiger head but. It wasn't an actual tiger...

"Oh no poor Thai...He thought that was his dad..." Lesi walks over to the rug. Thai falls asleep. I look at Lesi. She looked soo beautiful in her clothes.

"I hope they are okay."

"Who Madison and nem?"

"No Elena... She's a bright soul and I really hope she is okay."

Silence for a while as I looked at Lesi. I just want to kiss her right now. Feel her skin against mine.

"Lesi..."

"Yes?"

"We have been together in this for months now. And before we die, I just want to tell you. That I love you. Every day that I am with you I fall harder and harder. I want to protect you with my life, and I feel like if I get you hurt, or killed I failed. Waking up next to you every day is one of the biggest accomplishments to me and seeing you right now is showing me how much I need you." She looks at me and I look at her. Oh my god is this finally happening. Lesi bends over, she leans in and she kisses me. It was very soft and delicate, and I can see that she was shy about this as well. She moans in my mouth and she keeps going. What's gotten into me? I thought to myself

Our tongues have fallen madly in love and gotten married and moved to Paris. I pinned her down on the couch bed and got on top of her.

"If you want me to stop, tell me now," I whispered in her ear. Lesi said nothing, I brushed my mouth against the hollow of her temple. "Or now." I caressed her cheek. "Or now." I kissed her passionately.

"Or—"

But Lesi had reached up and pulled me down to her, and the rest of the words were lost against her mouth. She kissed me. 

There we were intertwining while the world was going to hell around us.
