She Is The Black Butterfly (editing! DO NOT READ!)

Chapter 8

Elli and that kid Noah were talking up a storm in the back seat. It was 9 PM and we were still on the road. I didn't want to risk stopping just in case.

"So, uh Noah when did you come in contact with Elli and Nik?" I asked him. He was hesitant at first. I was getting the vibe that he was still kind of scared of me. I wouldn't blame him I did point a gun at him.

"Well it's actually a funny story." He said

"No it's not." Countered Elli.

"OK you see he met us when we were trying to get away from the crazed RED EYES, he being the 'oh I'm macho' guy grab a little tiny pistol about the size of a nine year old's hand and chased towards them. He killed one and then he ran out of bullets so they were chasing him." Said Elli in one big rush.

"Oh uh... wow? So how did you get separated?"

It was Nik that took the floor. "Well after Elli and I saved him, he chilled with us for a while. We took him back to out camp to meet our mom. We lost him or more he lost us when THEM attacked."

It was quite after that. No one really wanted to talk. Elli and Noah ended up falling asleep in the back of the car. I was still focused on the road trying to get to North Carolina my sun rise. I was so fixated on the road I didn't notice Nik taking my right hand into his left one.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" I just smiled at his remark. Everything was so weird. I liked Nik a lot but could I really have a relationship in the middle of an Apocalypse.

"What are you thinking about?" Nik asked me?

"Just about things, I'm hoping I find my family in Boston and I hope you find your mom. I miss them." I told him truthfully.

"Don't worry we will."

We were stationed at a motel, resting for the day. We finally made it to North Carolina and I was proud that we did. Noah and Elli were hanging around in the kitchen, aparently there little growing bodies need more than a baby.

Nik and I were in a room just chilling and watching some old moives on my computer. Todays movie was "Pretty Woman", Nik wanted to watch it since he hadn't before.

"I cannot believe that you have not seen this movie." I was absolutly flabergasted.

"Well believe it, never have and I don't think I ever even heard of it." He said to me. This was totally unbelievable how does someone not know "Pretty Woman"? That was impossible I mean really the movie where a prostitute becomes a rich mans mistress for a week is absoultly timeless.

"Well since you haven't seen it before, what do you think of it?" I asked him with crious eyes.

"Ah well it's alright I mean I've see better." I gasped at his comment.

"Like what?"

"Well you know there's Grease and Forest Gump." He said plainly.

"Okay yeah there are those but you have to put Pretty Woman into the mix." I said to him. He nodded and continued with the movie.

I didn't really pay attention to the movie I was to busy looking at Nik. I could see his sculpted body under his white t-shirt. I just wanted to taste his lips. I haven't in two days. Without thinking I leaned in and kissed him. The action surprised him but he eventually gave in and kissed me back. Once we pulled apart he asked, "What was that for?"

"Oh I just wanted to kiss you thats all." I told him. He smiled and gave me a small peck on the lips.

"Okay lets finish the movie." He said when he pulled away. I didn't want his lips to leave mine.
