Infected

Chapter 25

*Neyomi's POV*
"Charlie! This is Anthony! My friend from the Before!" I laugh giddily.
"How is it that he's-" I cut Charlie off when I hear Erica's voice.
"Have you found her?" She comes into the room we are in.
"Erica!" I yell out. I tackle her, practically.
"Oh my God, Erica! You're alive! You're here! You're okay! I've missed you so much!" I sob to her.
She's rattled with sobs too and just hugs me tightly.
"I love you so much." She finally gets out. The dog, which Charlie named Jewel, started whining at us as she didn't know why we were crying.
Erica pats her head, "it's okay, girl. Everything's okay now." She says squeezing my arm gently.
"What's her name again?" She asked petting the dog.
"Jewel." I tell her.
She looks up at me, "why?" She grimaced. I laughed and Charlie crosses his arms.
"She's a jewel, that's why!" He says defensively. We all laugh, Anthony loudest. Erica finally notices him.
"Anthony? Is that you?" She says with a small shocked laugh.
"Yeah, I think that's my name on my birth certificate." He says looking up as if he had to think about it.
Erica bursts into laughter with her goofy sounding laugh and hugs him. God, I missed her.
"You didn't tell me he was with y'all!" Erica says to Charlie pointing at Anthony.
"He wasn't with us." Charlie puts it shortly.
"I found him when I was looking for you." I explain. She nod my head understandingly.
"Small world!" She laughs.
"It really is." Anthony says smiling at her.
"Where's Owen?" I ask Charlie as I look at the guys.
The guys all look awkward and Charlie swallows hard. "We've gotta talk, Neyomi.

*Charlie's POV*
After I've explained to Neyomi the craziness that was Owen I study her face which is full of emotions.
"Is it my fault?" She whispers, I think to herself.
"No, no! Owen's always been a little off. He has just waited for the apocalypse to show it." I say pulling her to me, partially to comfort her and partially to hide my own tears from her. I killed him. My best friend for 7 years....
Anthony is busy talking to Erica. I don't know about that guy. He seems a little too close to Neyomi for my comfort. Erica let's out a laugh again that just scares you. Weirdest thing I ever heard. I changed my mind. She's not very much like Neyomi.
*Erica's POV*
"So now what?" I ask the group and I throw my arm around Neyomi.
"Well, we got what we came for." Neyomi says poking my side and I'm ticklish so I threw my arm off of her and backed away giggling.
"We go back now, right?" She asked the guy James.
He smiles, "let's go home."

*Anthony's POV*
"So, you're telling me we are taking in two more people just like that?" Dillion asks James.
James smiles at him, "family of Neyomi's is-" Dillion cuts him off.
"Family of ours." He says with an eye roll and a smirk. "You're crazy, Dad."
James throws his arm around Dillion's shoulder and grips the opposite shoulder tightly, "I know. Before you know it, you'll be acting crazy too." He then roughs up Dillion's hair.
"Too late." Dillion laughs and shoves his dad playfully.
"You really shouldn't have done that!" James laughs and throws his arms up boxing style, and caught the bag sliding off his shoulder. Before we knew it they were wrestling in the dirt. The group and I are on our way to this cabin or something in the woods, sounds sketchy but I trust Neyomi to not lead me somewhere bad. Our destination is probably taking longer to get to than it should, but I don't think any of us really minded. We are enjoying life right now. I'm just glad to be back with people again and I'm glad it's these crazy people.
*Neyomi's POV*
Night is nearing as we are on our way back to Janet, Emma, Penny and Kian. We decide to sleep in an old tobacco barn we found. Fancy.
The big door to the barn closes with some difficulty. We all find separate corners of the barn to sleep in. The hay is surprisingly comfortable to lay in.
I cuddle into Charlie on the farthest side of the barn. We are curled up in an old stall, which is clean, don't worry.
"I love you." He whispers into my hair. It felt like every nerve in my body tingled. He just told me he loves me.
Do I feel the same? "I love you." Yes, indeed I do. I grab the back of his head and being him to me. he kisses me passionately, but not too roughly. I feel his hand at the bottom of my shirt slowly lifting it and I gasp slightly. His hand freezes when he heard me. I out my mouth on his neck and start kissing him more. I nod my head allowing him to continue. His fingers gently graze my ribs as he lifts my shirt up over my head leaving goosebumps where he touched. He lays me down gently in the hay. I giggle as he puts kisses all over my tummy. My giggles stop as he pulls my pants a little lower about an inch and kisses right along the top of the waistline. He moves his way back up to my neck. He puts his hand behind me and unclasped my bra. I was hesitant to keep going but at the same time there was no way I could stop him. I wanted this so much. I wanted him. He then slipped off his own shirt. Wow. I didn't know how toned he was until I let my fingers roam his torso. He kisses me again, this time faster and a bit rougher. He grabs my pants at the top and waited for my okay.
"Go ahead." I whisper to him excitedly. He pulls them off in the next second and is kissing the insides of my thighs in no time. I pull in a breath quickly and hold it. unable to release it. I hope to God the others can't hear us. He then tugs my panties off and tosses them to the side.
"This is okay?" He asked quietly.
"I am okay with all of this, don't worry about it, baby." I reassure him.
Before I knew it, he was at work. Pleasuring me. It was all I could do to stay quiet. It's the best I've ever felt, physically. Right when I didn't want him to stop the most, he did. Left me just aching for more. I let out a breath I had been holding. My breathing was embarrassingly loud. I don't think anyone heard but us two though. he slid his pants and boxers off, and ever so slowly, put himself inside me. He groaned as he did. I spread my legs further to help the both of us. He slowly started moving, it hurt a bit, but at the same time, it was great. He leaned down and kissed me as he kept going. It helped relax me. He moved down and started sucking on my breast, which was amazing as well.
"If I'm hurting you, just tell me, I don't want to hurt you." He whispers in my ear, his voice is a sexy, raspy voice.
"Everything's- perfect." I manage to get out between gasps.
After I said that, he starts moving quicker and gradually gets faster. Then I started to moan quietly. The pleasure/pain was gone. It was all pleasure now. I wanted him, I wanted more, faster, harder. More, more, more!
"I think I'm gonna-" he starts to say.
"Don't stop." I tell him.
"But-" His voice sounds strangled as he tries to be quiet and hold back his orgasm.
"Don't stop!" I repeat as I am reaching my own orgasm. So he doesn't, his moans aren't exactly quiet at that point. My whole body was shaking due to the intensity of it.
Today was the greatest day of my life, I thought.
