Post Apocalyptic Kaos

New dwellings

A couple days had gone by since we moved out. We got everything unpacked so quickly as soon as we got here. After the day we got here we spent a couple hours unpacking and cleaning the place up. There were enough rooms for all of us to get our own. I picked the one near the stairs on one side. Liz chose the room next to mine. James and Logan's rooms were next to each others, but down stairs. Stella's room was across from mine and Michelle's across from Liz. It was funny because shortly after we had finished cleaning and unpacking we all heard this really loud noise coming from my room and Liz's. I went upstairs to see what the hell was going on. Turns out Liz took it upon her self to break a nice sized hole in the wall so the she would be able to talk to me without having to actually leave her room. So we did some remodeling.  Now there's a very nice connecting window between our rooms with curtains on either side. I was a little hesitant at first, but i was for it in the end. 

Oh well either way it would've happened. I was sitting in my room on my bed reading when i heard a knock on my door. I hummed softly and the got up to open it. I was a little shocked to see Michelle standing there. "H-hey." I stumbled on my words as i looked at her. She smiled some and replied, "Hello. Mind if i come in?" She asked tilting her head slightly. I shook my head "No no i don't mind come in." I say moving back so she can come inside. I closed the door behind her and i ran my hand through my hair. "So what brings you to my room?" I say sitting down on my bed. She followed and sat next to me. "I just was wondering if when it's dinner time you'd wanna eat with me in my room. I was a little surprised and i rubbed my arm. "Um yea sure. Sounds like a plan." I say as i watched her carefully. She smiled and said, "Alright i'd like that very much." she stood and walked out of my room.

"What are you doing?" I heard from the other side of the curtain. I jumped a bit startled because i didn't think she was in her room. "What the heck I didn't even know you were in there." i say shaking my head. "Oh shut up. Again i ask what are you doing?" She asked in reference to what just happened with Michelle. "Nothing she just asked if i wanted to eat with her for dinner. Why does it matter?" I asked going back to reading my book. "Well because i don't want you to get hurt you dip shit that's why it matters. Because you matter." I could here the wavering in her voice. I sighed a bit, "Yea i know Liz. I'll be careful. I just i like her okay and it's been a very long time since I've even thought about being with someone since all this shit happened." I heard her sigh and i smiled softly. "Thank you tho." I say and she replied, "Shut up." 

I chuckled a bit as i heard Stella yell from down stairs. "Dinners ready you guys." I smiled and left my room heading downstairs. I saw Stella in the kitchen and I smiled. "It smells so good Stell." I walked up behind her and propped my head on top of her head. She shook a bit. "Get off Ash you're gonna make me spill the shrimp." She sounded flustered. "Alright alright." I say chuckling. I grabbed plates and cups from the cabinets and set them on the counter for the others to grab. I grabbed my plate and served myself. I filled my cup with some kool-aid. The others started to fill the kitchen. I saw Michelle and smiled softly as i headed upstairs. I waited by the door for her and i was kinda just telling myself in my head to calm down. I was freaking out about this. I heard footsteps and i looked down the hall. Sure enough it was Michelle heading towards me.

I tried to even my breathing out and i smiled. "Hey." I said as she reached the doorknob. "Hey yourself," She replied walking into her room waiting for me to follow. I walked in behind her and she closed the door. Her room was the biggest in the house oddly enough, but none of us really cared. She did have a small table for two in there which caked on even more pressure. I sat down in the chair that was against the wall and she sat in front of me. I started eating and she was kind of looking at me. I looked back and she smiled. A smile i'd not yet seen from her. It gave me goosebumps and i felt the heat of a blush make it's way over my cheeks. I covered my mouth and swallowed my food. "W-what..." I asked not being able to look at her. She shook her head, "Nothing. You're just so incredibly beautiful." I covered my whole face and i was shaking a little bit. I heard the sound of the chair move back and I just shut my eyes as hard as I could. 

She took a couple steps toward me and my breath got caught in my throat. I felt her hands over mine and she pulled them off my face. My eyes were still closed and i couldn't bring myself to open them. I could feel that she wasn't that far away from me. Slowly the tension  only became greater than it initially was. After a couple of minutes i felt her breath slowly against my lips. Her face was a couple of inches from mine. Slowly I opened my eyes and i saw that her honey gold eyes had been fixated on my silky green ones. I gasped a little and let the breath that i had been holding in out. I could feel and hear the unevenness in her breathing as well. She sat on my lap and put her arms up with her hands against the wall behind me. I kept mine holding onto the tables edge. 

Our breathing was incredibly uneven, but in sync with one another. I could feel that she was antsy and i couldn't help but smile some. She licked her bottom lip and I bit mine. A few minutes went by of us just sitting in that position when we heard a knock on the door. We both jumped and one of the plates went crashing down on the floor. "Hey are you guys okay in there?" We heard being called out from the other side of the door. I hadn't yet recognized whose voice it was. Michelle called back, "Yea just peachy. We dropped a plate is all." The person on the other side replied with, "Ash I need to talk to you." In that moment i knew it was Liz. I had mixed feelings between frustration and appreciation for her because of her interrupting the very tense moment. I looked at Michelle the blush still lingered on my cheeks and i got up heading for the door. 

I opened the door and Liz had been standing there. She looked up at me slightly and saw that my face was all red. "Can we talk?" She asked as she tilted her head to her room. I nodded and closed Michelle's door behind. I walked across the hall and into her room. She came in behind me and closed the door. She sat on her bed. I sat next to her and sighed. "What's up?" She nudged me a bit. "What was going on in there?" She asked looking at me. I shook my head and say, "Nothing I promise. Just a lot of heavy breathing." She shook her head. "Was just worried. Didn't mean to interrupt." I chuckled a bit. "Trust me i'm glad you did. I was dying." I stood up and left the room. I went back to my room and got ready for bed. I got in bed and started reading. I was falling asleep while reading and i heard someone open the door. I was half asleep so i couldn't tell who. This person grabbed my book and set it aside. She covered me and left. I tried whispering something, but i just passed out.
