Rule 32: Enjoy the little things

Okay...maybe it is love.

After a few minutes of heavy breathing everything came back to me. How am I going to kill all these freaks, I'll run out of bullets before I even make a dent. Then I heard a bunch of shooting, I know that's not Columbus so it must be-

"Tal" I said quietly and snuck over to the edge of the roof.

My eyes widened when I saw a bunch of zombies surrounding one of the small game booths. I watched as bodies dropped & the horde that I just escaped from ran around the corner to join in.

"No no no, please please not him" I stood up while grabbing my rifle and started shooting.

After what felt like hours all the freaks were dead, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, along with streams of tears I didn't realize were flowing.

I quickly turned around while slinging my rifle on my back again. I practically threw myself off the roof before sprinting around the corner.

There he was, his same old self, standing on the roof of the booth he was just in. He was staring at something from where me and Col were so curiously I looked over too.

Columbus and Witchita were kissing which kinda lightened up my mood.

"Wow..I didn't think she actually liked him" I focused my attention back on Tallahassee.

As he climbed off the roof I ran towards him, he didn't notice me until he heard me throw my gun down once I was a few feet away.

"Woah, woah, hey, what's--" He starts to say concerned

He opened his arms, welcoming me in. I threw myself at him wrapping my arms around his neck.

He grunted and took a step back from the force. His arms wrapped around my waist and he dug his face in my hair.

"Looks like someone missed me" he chuckled, his voice was muffled & I could feel his breath on my neck.

"Were you that scared without me? Why you crying?" He jokes lightly but there's still concern in his voice

"I thought you were going to die!" I laughed a little and pulled away slightly while sniffling.

"Me die? Please" He gave me his usual smirk so I smiled at him.

Should I confess to him? No I don't want to ruin this again, he doesn't like me like that..he made that clear at the mansion..right? I want to kiss him so bad but maybe now's not the best time; or ever.

"Viper?"

"Y/n..it's y/n" I looked at him smiling through my tears.

"Y/n..." He breathes out and smiles

You get butterflies and a shiver up your spine as he tests your name out on his tongue.

He gently cups your cheek then wipes away your tears as best he can.

"Y/n...your too damn pretty to be crying like this over someone like me.." He says softly

"Someone like you?" You ask confused

"Reckless.. selfish..I could ruin you.. I'm not...the relationship type... I-I've never been good at it..." He says with a frown

"Me either, it's okay we can learn together. Your not gonna ruin me, your not as bad as you think, your wonderful Tallahassee" you say

He suddenly blurts out his name nervously, his walls around him crumbling down. You smile and test it out on your tongue as well and he instantly shifts around and smiles.

"I'm sorry for everything I said at the mansion... everything I did and didn't do...I-I..." He sighs and shakes his head

"I forgive you. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean it...I don't want this to just be a fling, a one time thing-- I want you." You step closer
