Lesli's P.O.V
After about 3 hours of driving, we started to see town houses. We sit up and look at the passing deserted houses. Dead bodies all over. It made me think about Sara's mom, Mrs.Rockwell. She was a great mom figure to me... one that really cared for me. My mom wasn't like Mrs.Rockwell at all. She would go out to bars, get drunk, turn some random bum on, have sex with him and then take about 50 bucks from him. She was horrible. She claimed it was for the family. Really, when she says family, she means her. My father died when I was 7 so I think that's when everything started to fall apart. I found myself staying at Sara's house more often, it was like I was their family. And now... all that's left is Sara.
"Okay," Samule says as he stops the truck and hops out, "we should probably head out into different groups." He finishes. O jump over the tail gate and link arms with him, he looks down and blushes a little.
"I'll go with Samule, we'll get gas-" I started to say but was cut off.
"And plywood." Sammy says, I give her a glare and roll my eyes.
"And plywood," I say mocking her a bit, while you three go get supplies and clothes." I finish. I look over at Sara, Jak, and Sammy, the two nod and Sammy looks like shes in her own little land. She was starting to get on my nerves. Sara tugged her arm and they walk towards the Walmart.
"Save money, live better," I start to say.
"Walmart." Samule finishes and we both laugh a bit, "Okay, now lets find some gas and fill up the small, portable gas containers. We'll fill up our tank then have an extra one full just in case." He starys to walk around, lookimg for a gas station. I follow him and search with. It was about 2 blocks down until we actually found a Cheveron.
'Cheveron with techoron, take care of your car.' I thought back to a commercial.
There were a few infected, but not a big hoard. Just a few here and there. We pushed open the sliding doors and go in to find one of the gas holders, I didn't know what they were called. [And I don't in real life ;o; ] We found two and took them so we wouldn't have to make a second trip. We went into the store and behond the counter. Hell, I didn't know how to do the damn gas pumps. We don't even know if they work!
"Um... do you know how to work these stupid things?" I asked him and pointing at the register.
"Yea, simple really, you just have to hope that the power still works..." he started as he walked into the back of the store. There, he found a giant box with a whole bunch of nobs and levers. I wasnt really big on electric stuff and cars. He eyed the lables under each switch.
"A-ha!" He said and flicked two of the switches amd turned a nob. The power went on and you could here the freezers start up. We walked out of the back room and went behind the counters. He started to look at the register and push a few buttons. Eventually he got to a screen that had the gas pumps. He pressed $30 and we went back out to fill up the containers. 15$ worth in each.
"Damn it, these are heavy," I say lifting one up, "better hope no infected people come after us or we're-" I shut up when I saw he just picked his up with ease. I give him a glare and he laughs.
"Want me to carry that for you, princess?" He asked, I blushed at the name he gave me. I nod silently and hang it to him.
"T-thanks," I say looking away, as he takes it away from me.
"I thought you we're all athletic and what-not." He smirks. I look at him and give a half smile.
'Shit. Change subjects. Your probably making this akward.' I thought to myself, "Uhh, I'm going to grab some snacks, we should probably stay together, so why don't we leave those there and find something small to take with us? Maybe even a small pack or something." I say quickly.
"Yea, sounds good." He says chuckling. We walk side by side into the store. I didn't really take in all the damage done to this place, a lot of the snacks were on the floor, along with dark, gooey red blood mix with leaves and mud. I gag a bit and look elsewhere. I find some flashlights and took a few, and a ton of batteries. That reminds me...
I pulled out my walkie-talkie and switched the batteries. I powered it back on and tested it.
"Samule, this is Lesli, do you copy?" I say pressing the buttons and look over to him with a small smile. He takes his off his belt loop and answers back.
"Lesli, this is Samule, I read you loud and clear." He laughs and wait for a response. I think of one and smile a bit.
"Samule, this is Lesli, you really smell and should probably shower. Over."
"Lesli, this is Samule, you are probably smelling yourself, over."
'Samule, this is Lesli, well, come over here and we'll really see who smells worse." I chuckle and he walks over.
"Hmm..." he starts to say, looking at me up and down. He then lifts up my arm and takes a wiff of my arm pit.
"Eww! Samule!" I laugh and pull away. He raises his eyebrows.
"Are you discussed or ticklish? Cause I could've sworn I heard a laugh when my nose was sniffing..." he smirks.
"Uh-oh," I say, "Samule don't you dare." I start backing up as he steps closer, "Samule Thomas, I swear if you tickle me-" just as I started to say that, I bumbed into something. I freeze, so does Sam. He pulls out a knife, I reach down to grab a small pistol I had. I fell two hand go on my shoulders.
My eyes started to water, was I going to die? Get turned into a zombie like Mrs.Rockwell did. My flesh ripped of and turned into those... those things. Sam looked down at me and saw the state I was in. Is he going to save me? Or leave me here by myself to die. A million questions we're running through my head. Soon, I start to feel a cold breeze on my neck. This was it. I was going to die. This is how it ends. And Samule isn't giving a fuck about what happens. I start to full out cry.
"S-Samule," I mutter, just barely audible for him to hear, "please, please, please don't let me die. I don't want to die." He just nods and slowly creeps towards me.
"On three, you drop to the floor and shoot." He whispers. I nod, "1....2...3!" he says, I drop to the floor and Sam throws his knife at the zombie. I did as I was told and started shooting at it, I was also screaming my head off. When I ran out of ammo, it falls backwards. I'm still crying. I feel two more hands on my shoulders and whip around to see Samule looking at me with concern in his eyes. He pulls me to sit up and hugs me. We stay low, in case of any other infected outside the store.
"Shh, Shh, it's okay now, it's all okay." He comforts me. I was still shaken about what just happened. I look up at him.
"Would you have let me die by those things?" I ask him, whipping my nose on my sleeve. He looks down at me.
"Never. It took awhile for the whole situation to prosses." He gives a warm smile and kisses my for head. I blush a little and just lay there in his lap. He saved me. I own him my life.
"I... I wish there was someway I could repay you." I say looking down. He mutters something under his breath, obviously really quiet since I was right under him, "huh?" I ask and sit up a bit. He looks down embarrassed and blushing a bright shade of red. I give a smile and laugh a bit, "I know now." I say and lean in to kiss him. Our lips touch and he almost kissed back immediately. I smiled into the kiss. It was a soft one, but it wasn't a rough kiss either. It was passionate. I pull back and touch my forehead with his and look into his eyes.
"You have no idea of how badly I wanted to do that." He smiles.
