Its been days since Storm's death, but there's no looking back now. We've all been affected with that tragic event, but Tate was the worst. He always blame himself for her death, always muttering "It's my fault that she's dead, all mine" under his breathe. Cat tries to tell him multiple times that its not his fault, even Nash tried. 

But today's a new day, which marks another day of survival. Which mean another day of dealing with the undead. I was in front of the group leading the way to a safe haven that we have yet to find. I hear footsteps behind me, catching up to my fast pace. "Annabelle, slow down or else we won't be able to catch up." I made no emotion at Nash's attempt to lighten the mood. Hearing him sigh, I turned my head to see him run his hand through his hair. His face scrunched up, thinking about something. 

His eyes lit up,"What did the dick say to the condom?" I try to hide to smile that was creeping up my face. He took my silence as a "what","Cover me. I'm going in." He busted out laughing at his own joke.

I rolled my eyes, but smiled at his stupidity,"Oh come on! That was a good one!" I shook my head and picked up the pace. He caught up to me and continue trying to cheer me up.  

"The cops must be after you because its illegal to look that good."

He look at me, seeing if I'll react. I kept up my emotionless facade, which causes him to come up with more jokes and pick up lines. 

"I hope you know CPR because you're taking my breathe away." 

No reaction.

"Can I dock my rocket at your space station?"

A small smile and that was it.

"What does a dick and a rubric's cube have in common?" He waited for a second,"The more you play with it, the harder it gets." He wiggles his eyebrows at me and I laughed at how dumb his jokes are. "There is that beautiful laugh I want to hear!" I blushed and playfully punched his arm. He held his arm like he was in pain,"Oh the pain! The agony!" I rolled my eyes at him and scoffed.

"You guys are so cute, it makes me want to vomit." I shake my head at my little dysfunctional family,"You guys are impossible." We all laugh and smile, even Tate is smiling just a little. I heard the snarling of the undead in the distant. "Well shit!" Everybody started running in the opposite direction, even Delilah was keeping up with us. "I think theres an open mall somewhere up north." We followed Rain's theory and continued our action. I turned around and notice some of the undead are catching up on us.

I took out my crossbow and started shooting them down. "What are you doing?!" Nash exclaimed. "Go! I got this under control! I'll meet you there!" He shook his hand and took out his knife,"You shouldn't do this alone, and besides, I'm tired of being the damsel in distress." As a team, we took down as many as we can. I yanked out my arrow out of their heads and jabbed them in the ones that was in range of me. With his help, we ran towards the direction our friends had went. 

If I was trying to survive a bunch a zombies by hiding in an open mall, which store would I go to hide?

We slowed down to a jog to try to figure out where the rest of the group is. We stood in the middle, confused on where to go while the herd is slowly catching up. Oh fuck it!

I grabbed Nash's arm and tugged him towards the closet shop. Which was Victoria Secret. We blocked the doors as best as we could and kept quite. As we were catching our breathe Nash looked at me with raised eyebrows. 

My face burned in embarrassment,"Don't say a word, Grier." He rose his hands up and walked away. 

Well since we're already here, might as well treat myself. I shrugged and went to look for some new undergarment. "Hey Annabelle." I jumped and pulled out my knife. Instead of coming face to face with an undead, I was face to face with Nash in a neon pink bra. "I knew you were jealous of my body, but I didn't think you would actually kill me for it." I laughed and put my knife away. I continue my "shopping" while Nash was messing around. I tried to find any other items such as lotion. "Since you're taking a lot of this stuff, do you think I'll be able to see you in them?" Smirking smugly, he winked at me. 

I rolled my eyes and returned the smirk,"Maybe if you're lucky enough." His hands wrapped around my waist. He brought me closer so I'm squished between his chest and muscular arms. Grabbing my chin, he tilted my head upwards and began slowly closing the gap between us. As his lips are slowly descending to reach mines, I notice every little feature on his face. How there is a small cut on his eyebrow, how his eyes are a bright baby blue color, and how there are freckles in random places. 

Our lips molded together perfectly. The kiss was slow and passionate, but gained more speed. My hands moved their way to his hair. I gently tugged at his hair and he let out a small grunt. His lips left my own and went towards my neck, finding my sweet spot almost instantly. I let out a small moan as he kept kissing and sucking in that specific area. 

Once he knew that would leave a mark, he licked over the area and continued kissing me. As the moment gets more heated, I started to unbutton my shirt. Before I can get the rest of my clothes off, there was a pounding noise in the back. We jumped apart and looked at each other's flushed faces. "Can't we just ignore it," he muttered against my lips as he tried to continue our previous actions. I rolled my eyes and button up my shirt again. He sighed dramatically,"Moment ruined." As he was getting redressed, I took out my knife and wondered to the back of the shop to find the source of the noise. 

I noticed there was a door. I prepared myself for an undead, fighting my grip on the knife. I opened the door and an undead appeared, tripping over its own to feet. I drove my knife through its temple. Just as I was standing up, a shirtless Nash Grier rounded the corner with a smirk on his face. 

"So, where were we?"
