Chapter 20: A Rest, We Need

Karin

Oh my God! Chris just fell down on the ground!

I went outside, it was raining. All the surrounding areas are pitch black. The sky was gone. Chris was lying on the white-tiled floor unconsciously. I quickly grabbed his hands and dragged him to the room. He was soaking in water. He'll get sick if I don't do something.

Well, for those who don't know me, I'm Karin. Karin Rodriguez. 15 years of age. I'm an assisstant to my mother who is a doctor on a large hospital before this outbreak began. I'm wearing a knee-sized black shorts, black fitted t-shirt, and I'm wearing glasses. I have a shoulder length hair, 5'0 ft in height, and 48 kgs in weight and a white girl but not so white. A bit skinny, or slim. I'm an indoor girl, with books on my hand to keep me busy. Well, that's me. There's not much to tell.

I quickly removed his dark blue, hooded coat. His coat were like the color of the night sky, dark blue and black. I removed his skull-shaped mask and took his sword out of his pocket and put it in the bed.

I, then, removed his thick vest covering his body. I think it's armor.
I removed his under shirt. Hid upper body was exposed.
Oh my God! His body! Although it has scars and bullet wounds, it's still amazing!

I realized I was getting away with the task.
"Karin, get yourself together!" I said to my self, with fist actions, proving my self.

I checked his heart. I leaned my head to his chest so I can listen if his heart was still beating. Fortunately, it was beating. No need to worry about.

I accidentally placed my hand on his chest. Ohh! His chest are so firm! My head, still leaning on his chest. I feel comfortable here. But I have to do my task.

I prepared a bed on the floor for Chris to lie down. I dragged him on the bed and covered his body with blanket. His body was shaking. Maybe it's from the cold brought by the rain. I doubled his blanket, tripled his blanket. But he's still shaking. I know bodies make other bodies warm. Like hugging. Looks like there's not much of a choice. I went inside the blanket, laid down just beside Chris, and starts hugging him. Slowly, I was approching my subconscious world. I'm falling asleep. I really hope this would help Chris...

Chris

I woke up, the sun's daylight struck my eyes, birds chirping around, the breezy warmth of light removed the yesterday's foot prints of the heavy rain. I barely opened up my eyes, struggling to see through sun's rays shining in my eyes. The sliding door was opened. I realized I wasn't on the bed. I was on the floor.

"Uhh... What happened?" I asked my self, upon hearing it myself talking, I remembered that I wasn't supposed to be sleeping. I should've stayed awake all night to protect Karin. Speaking of Karin, I moved my body around, I suddenly felt someone was hugging me. I felt someone's hands on my body. My body was covered with blankets so I uncovered it and I saw Karin, hugging me. She was fast asleep. Her arms are wrapped tightly in my body. Her head, resting on my chest. She was fast asleep. Upon seeing her, I saw my body too. I was topless. My body was exposed so I carefully lifted Karin's head and put it aside, and I stood up, carefully not to awake Karin. You know, girls don't like surprised waking up. They will be upset to the ones who disrupt their beauty sleep.

I grabbed my undershirt. I felt it in my hands. It was soaking in water. My mask and my sword was there, on the heart-shaped bed, colored in red with pink accents, lying around there, peacefully.

I searched for a closet or a dresser if there's something I can wear, in exchange for the undershirt I have. Fortunately, I found one. It was a dark blue shirt, with red accents. I wore it, it fits nicely.

Suddenly, my stomach growled, rumbled, signalling that I was hungry.
I went back to Karin and covered her body with a blanket. I temporarily left Karin in the room to prepare breakfast. I didn't know what time is it, so I searched for a clock, and I found one in the arch way, in the middle of the arch way. It was 8:30 am.

I checked on the kitchen for foods to eat. I, first, checked the fridge. It has a decent supply of foods. There are eggs, raw meat, vegetables, water, and I found some chocolates. Looks like the one who lived here left in a hurry when the dead starts walking again.

I grabbed six chicken eggs, I checked on the cabinet above of the fridge, there was some cooking oil in there so I grabbed it and put it out. Yup, that's all I need for a breakfast. I went on the stove, took out a frying pan beside the stove and put it on the stove. I lit the fire on the stove, set it to low fire or the blue fire. After a couple of minutes, I cracked the egg and put it in the pan. Not long before I was finished cooking.

I used a spatula to transfer the eggs from pan to the plates. After that, I carried the plate full of eggs upstairs, to where Karin is.

When I arrived at the room, I put down the eggs on the bed, and woke Karin up.

"Hey, Karin" I said, waking her up, as I was touching her shoulder, gently shaking her. I felt her body warmth. It was pretty hot. Oh my God. This is not good.

"Umm... Oh... Hey... Chris... Ahh-- Good morning..!" *cough *cough

"You need to eat. Here." I grabbed the eggs I cooked and handed the plate to her. "I cooked it for our breakfast."

I handed her a spoon and she took a slice of an egg.

"Well? How was it?" I asked her.

*munch *munch
"Its great! Thanks, Chris! Wait a sec, did you ate already?" She asked me while slicing a piece of egg.

"Ahh dont worry about me. I'm okay." I said. Pretty much I lied. I was very hungry. But she need it most.

"No. You eat. Here, sit beside me." She insisted. So I followed her.

I sat beside her. I felt her shoulders touched mine. Her clothes were a little wet. Must be from the rain yesterday.

"Here, eat this" she said, she smiled at me afterwards. She hovered the spoon with eggs in it on my mouth.

"Haha are you serious right now?" I said as I percieved she was only joking.

"Haha of course not! Why would I do that?" She replied.

I just opened my mouth, with a sound like "ahhhh". It's pretty weird, but it is okay.

Karin

I feel quite comfortable now. That's why I can talk to Chris without all the discourages. He gave me courage.

"Umm.. Karin.. I think you have to change clothes now." Chris said.

"Ahh okay, Chris. My clothes's wet so I need to change." I said to Chris

"Change later. Finish your meal first."

"Ahh--ehh-- okay... What about you?" I asked him as I offered him food.

"I've eaten enough. It's all yours."

"Okay! Suit your self!" I said as I ate the eggs.

I was finished with eating. I left the plate outside the door. Chris laid down on the heart shaped bed and slept again. I changed outside the room. Now I'm wearing blue shirt and red leather shorts.

I'm feeling weak. I feel pale in my body. I feel head ache. I laid down on the bed beside Chris. He was fast asleep. I think he had a lack of sleep. I was on the left, he was on the right. I laid down, with my face, facing towards Chris, while Chris was sleeping with his face, facing the ceiling. He gradually faced me too. I closed my face to his. Our foreheads met. I was looking at his closed eyes. This is my only chance... I have to take this...

I kissed Chris on the lips...
