Sounds like a Fantasy

Chapter 14

Addison's POV

Zed was still refusing to let me walk on my own. I swore I was feeling up to it but he still made her ride on his back. As he walked my mind drifted back to our time in my bathroom this afternoon.

XxFlashbackxX

Zed helped me out of the bandages Eliza and Bonzo had wrapped me in and was cleaning my shoulder of the dried blood patches around the bite. Then he dug through his bag to get out some healing ointment, gauze and fresh bandaging wraps.

"It looks a lot better already." I comment, checking out the wound in the mirror. I glance at Zed and see his lips purse together into a line as he continues to pull supplies out of his bag. I know it's still hard for him, seeing the wound he inflicted, but he has to see that I don't blame him for it. I decide to not press the issue further but look at the wound more. It's open still but it's not bleeding anymore, it almost looks like it's already starting to scab over. I didn't think a wound that deep would scab so quickly.

Zed returns with ointment in hand, I smile up at him from the mirror. His lip quirks up in the corner but that's all I get. He gently rubs on the ointment, obviously concentrating really hard on not putting too much pressure that would make me uncomfortable. Yes, touching it stung but I tried my best not to flinch from his fingers. He was being so careful and gentle.

Once he finished, he rewashed his hands and placed a pad of gauze over my shoulder before wrapped it securely with the bandages.

"There! All done!" He exclaimed. I smile at him again.

"Thanks for taking such good care of me." I say softly. His warm smile returns as he leans down and kisses my cheek from his spot behind me.

"Anything for you Gorgeous. Now get dressed! We can't keep Eliza waiting long or she'll kick my ass!" He said with a mock scared expression. I giggle and follow him out of the bathroom. I put on a strapless bra as to not aggravate my shoulder and put on a mighty shrimp tee with my captain jacket overtop. I slide into my skinny jeans and sneakers before returning to Zed's side.

"Ready?" I asked with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, hop on!" He says as he kneels down in front of me for the second time today.

"Im perfectly capable of walking." I protest.

And obviously I lost that fight as I ride to Eliza's house on the back of my zombie boyfriend. I smile and press my mouth to his shoulder.

"I think," I begin and pause to make sure he's listening and kissing my way to his neck, "it would only be fair if I bite you back." I tease, planting a kiss to the side of his neck and then scraping my teeth along the skin there. He shivered and laughed.

"Did some of my zombie urges rub off on you or something?" He teased, turning his head towards me and I ark my neck to kiss him.

"I think they have," my voice more sensual than before, "you are looking mighty delicious right now." Zed trips over his own feet and we almost go toppling to the ground but luckily he's able to rebalance and keep us going. I laugh and kiss his blushing cheek. "Sorry." I whisper with a giggle. He chuckles as he continues our path to Zombietown.

"Why do we have to go to Eliza's again?" I asked, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Her Mom is known as a Zombie Healer. And no, she doesn't have powers or do any like magic spells or anything. She just knows a lot of things about us and can use certain herbs and stuff to help our bodies heal quicker. Eliza thinks she might know why I turned zombie with a fully functioning Z-band and why I bit you. Maybe even give you something to heal faster." Zed explained. I let what he said settle in my brain. I ride on his back quietly as he walks.
