Shadows of the Underworld: Love and Redemption

Unwinding

I met Diane at home waiting for me. It was already 9 PM. All I wanted to do was jump in the shower and relax on the sofa or something. Probably play a game even. 

"Here comes the superstar of the hour!" Diane shouted when I opened the door. "I made dinner and left it for you on the table. Now before you say anything-"

"Shower and tell you all about it." I finished her sentence.

"No fair, that's my line. Now hurry up."

"Alright, alright." I took off my shoes by the door, carried them along with my belongings to my room, and put them away. Made my way to the bathroom, removed my makeup, which I'm surprised lasted all day, and took a brief hot shower. I dried my skin and wrapped myself up in my towel. Not bothering to even look for clothes let alone put on underwear I walked out of the bathroom and headed straight to the table to eat dinner. Her food was good, as always but I couldn't finish it all so I put it up for tomorrow and then headed over to the sofa and plopped down beside her.

"You didn't look too well when you walked in. Did something happen out there?" she asked me.

"Kind of. Do you want to play a game with me?" I asked her.

"Sure. It's been a while."

I got up, got our controllers, and turned on the PS4 console. Handing her the controller I sighed. "I don't know why I feel this way. I should be happy because my day went pretty well, but I guess it's because I have a nagging feeling that something is going to happen."

"Oh no. I don't like the sound of that. Whenever you have that feeling it always comes true." she said looking at me.

"Yeah I know right? Ugh! But anyhoo... let me try my best not to focus on that right now." I said and started setting up the game. I choose one of the Black Ops games and chose zombie mode for us to play together and put it on Veteran. We will probably not survive the first round but that's the beauty of it, for us to have fun dying and trying. "So I met this girl named Fae today. She wants to meet you too. Seems crazy just like us and talks a bunch."

"You gone out and found a new best friend on meeeeee. Waaaaaaaaah!" She pretended to cry.

"Girl you must be out your damn mind, never that," I said pushing her over.

"Imma strangle her if she gets too close."

"As I would expect. Now hear this, both she and the Mortal Kombat lady, whom I saw today too, said the same thing. Complimenting me saying I look like I belong in a movie, like the main character or assassin. Like what?" The game was starting.

"They ain't wrong."

"Tsk, yeah right. Anyhow girl, as far as the movie goes you do know I can't say anything about it, but to be honest with you I don't even know what the hell goin' on. We know absolutely nothing about it, we just do what we're told."

"Damn." She said furring are brows at the tv.

"Yeaaaah."

"Did you at least get to see Minjun?" she said, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh, I saw him alright. Let me tell you the joke now."

"Uh huuuuuuuh." Her attention shifted from the screen to my face, and she was taken down by a zombie.

"What are you doing?! We're gonna lose!" I pointed.

"Oopsie!" she laughed.

"Riiiiight...oopsie." I laughed as well. "So before they started shooting, Mi- ...Park, was walking in our direction."
