"Well." He says holding out the L.
"Spit it out already!"
"Ugh.....I like you. I wanted to tell you a long time ago but I didn't think you liked me and I was nervous because who would date during a zombie apocalypse and-" I cut him off.
"Back up. You like me?"
"Yeah didn't I just say that?"
"Yeah...but?"
"But what? You don't like me? Cause I think you do?"
"Who are you to say that I like you?"
"I didn't mean it that way."
"Sure sounds like it."
"Look. Can we rewind that back?"
"No. I'm done talking."
"Julissa!"
I walk back into the room.
Elijah and Emily look up at us.
Emily gives me that 'tell me later look' and I just nod my head.
"So lets finish this?" Emily asks in a question.
"Actually we're gonna go and play football." Elijah says.
"Where?" Emily says.
"In the lobby. We found a football." Marcus says.
"Okay. Fine by us." I say.
Marcus looks at me with a apologetic face. I just roll my eyes and ignore him.
"Bye." Emily says.
"Bye." They both says.
They walk out and Emily rushes to me.
"So what happened?"
"Let's sit."
We walk over to the bed and face each other.
"So we walked out the door and he was saying ugh and you know the usual boy stutter. He looked at me and said I like you and he meant to tell me sooner and talking about who would date in a zombie apocalypse. Then he had the nerve to say he thinks I do too. But let me remind you he said it like I didn't have a say in it. He said that he didn't mean it like that." I say while holding my breath.
"Damn!"
"I know right. So right know I'm mad at him."
"Well here's the only advise I have. Action speaks better than words. Remember that. Look and see what he does. Okay?"
"Okay thanks."
"No problem. Now right now we should be going through clothes."
"Okay let's do it."
For an hour we look through clothes, shoes, and jewelry, etc.
"Hey Emily?"
"Yeah?"
"What's your relationship with Elijah?"
"Well.... We're dating."
"What! When? Why didn't you tell me!?"
"Well I didn't think it was important."
"Well duh it is. So how long have you guys been going out?"
"Well we went out like a few months before the apocalypse."
"Really that's a long time."
"Yeah I know. We we're in his room when it started."
"Dang."
"Yeah."
We hear shouting and look at each other.
"Boys." We both say.
Then start laughing.
Then there's a bang. The door opens with them shouting.
"I totally won!" Marcus says.
"No you see how I dodged you!" Elijah says.
"Tsk. No you see how I tackled you!"
"Man. Whatever."
"Whatever my ass!"
"Okay boys shut up!" Emily shouts.
"Sorry." They both say.
"Well I'll go look for some food down in the kitchen." I tell them.
"I'm getting tired of the same things." Elijah whines.
"At least y'all brought some turkey." Marcus says.
"Yeah it was hard to look for. We borrowed it from some farm and then we found this place." Elijah says.
"Tsk. More like stole." Emily says.
Elijah chuckles. "Yeah we got ran out. They were yelling with pitchforks."
"Really?" Marcus asks.
"Hell yeah!"
"Elijah was speaking in spanish and cussing them out."
Everybody started laughing.
"Well I'm out."
"Kay." They said.
I walk out and head to the exit doors.
When I close it and start heading down the stairs. I hear the door open again.
"Wait up!" Marcus yells.
"What do you want?"
"I just wanna walk with you."
"Sure." I say while rolling my eyes.
We walk in silence.
"Are you giving me the silent treatment?"
"Sure am."
"Can we talk?"
"Hint the silent. In silent treatment."
He sighs beside me.
We start walking into the kitchen and find the turkey.
"I'll get the matches." Marcus says..
I get the Turkey and put it in a pan. We have to start a fire.
After an agonising hour of silence we head up to the room with plates, forks, and the turkey.
We walk into the room. Guess what we saw.
You guessed it Elijah and Emily making out and it's a full on make out session.
"Guys!" I yell.
They jump up with startled expression on their faces.
"Sorry!" Emily screams
While Elijah is smirking.
"Way to go dude!" Marcus says.
I just roll my eyes.
"We brought dinner."
"Yes! Im starving." Elijah says.
"I bet you are."
