the zombie next door

Mine

"Zeo what is wrong with you, didn't you read my letter?" I did read his letter, every word, savoring it. "Yes I read your letter. And I came to tell you that you're my everything Zed." that was the honest truth, he was my everything. He was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. He was the reason the Earth spun to me. "Zeo, I don't know what to say." I didn't need him to say anything. I just wanted his mouth on mine. To forever be stuck in this moment. I pulled him into a passionate kiss.

we got dressed together. All I could focus on was his perfection there was nothing wrong with him, no fault detectable to the eye. "I love you Zed."
"I love you too Zeo"

We spent the afternoon together, talking about our feelings. Telling each other every flaw and insecurity. The conversation felt like it could go on for a life time. I truly loved every part of him. His body, his personality, his wit, his intellect, his charm. I wanted him forever and nothing would stop me from getting what I wanted. Laying next to him felt like the rest of my life was decided. He made the tides rise and the sun set. Perfection.

Something in the back of my mind was itching at me. All day I couldn't place a finger on it. After a moment of thought a light went off in my head. I had been so caught up with my feelings for Zed I completely forgot about Addison. I wanted to kill that bitch for what she did to me and to Zed. I had to plot my revenge. I couldn't let Zed know either. If he knew what I was planning I'm afraid he'd never forgive me.

The thought of leaving Zed was heartbreaking, but I had to go home. I had to plan for school the next day.

"I don't want to leave." I said with a sigh.

"Then don't. My dad won't be back for a couple of days and Zoey is with a friend tonight."

I couldn't tell him that I needed to go home to get my sabotage together so I took him up on the offer. This could wait for one night.

"I'd be delighted to stay with you Mr. Necrodopolis." I said with a smile.

He brought me into an embrace kissing me with a smile, our lips barley touching. He was finally mine. He got up and walked into his room coming back with a shirt in his hand. "Put this on and we'll go to bed." I obliged and put on his old Seabrook High football shirt on. I met him in his bedroom sliding under the covers right next to him. I could feel the warmth radiate off his body. I intertwined my legs with his. I slowly felt the energy leave me and drifted to sleep.

I awoke with a shock. I never took the letter off my mom's pillow. Panicking I picked my clothes that had been neatly folded on the floor and left Zed sleeping peacefully.
