Survival of the fittest

Chapter 9: Kisses In The Shed

Let me tell you something about Ronald. Ronald is very stubborn and will insist on what he wants. And I needed to do that now to find out what he was hiding from me, whatever it was, it was eating him away. He needed to tell someone and that someone WOULD be me.

We needed some food, so I insisted that Chadwick let Ron and I hunt out. He agreed, fortunately.

"You ready to go get some food?", I asked

"Ready", Ron answered grabbing his backpack and crossbow

"Nice cross bow, where'd you get it"

"Found it in the basement. Now I feel like that one zombie killing badass from that one show back in 2010"

"I think my grandparents used to watch that"

"Don't remember his name but I've heard great thing about him... I hear he ate squirrels and made necklaces out of zombie ears. Shits crazy"

"Sounds like it", I stated walking onto a field

"Peaceful."

"I know... So where we going to get food?"

"There's an old market place down the road", he answered, "we might find something there"

"Hope so", I cuddled up to his arm while grabbing his hand in mine. He was going to tell me.

"You scared?"

"Nope, just felt like doing this", I smiled.

We walked on for a couple more minutes till I broke a newly regained silence

"So... You ever gona tell me your secret"

"I could never hide secrets from you baby girl", he mocked

"Tell me!"

"I don't have anything to hide!"

"Yes you do! Ron I will kiss you on the spot right now if you don't tell me"

"Is that a punishment?"

"Ron!"

"I don't have anything to tell! Chill okay? You're gona attract zombies"

"I don't care!" I made my voice louder, "RONALD AMADEUS GRIFFIN TELL ME YOUR SECRET NOW"

"How do you know my embarrassing middle name?"

"I know everything"

"Clearly not if you have to shout my name multiple times for me to tell you a "secret""

"You know what I mean"

By the time I was done begging him to tell me, we got to the market place and scouted out a grocery store

"Check down the aisles, I'll check the noodles"

"Okay" I agreed, looking at some old pastries. Until I saw it. A rat
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", I cried out running to Ron

"What the hell?!"

"I saw a rat!"

"Oh God Connie", he looked over and packed some noodles into his backpack

"So you ready to tell me?", I said putting some twinkles in my bag

"I have nothing to tell", he replied grabbing boxes of meals , till his backpack, and gym bags were full.

"Okay whatever"

"You done there? My shit it full", he asked

"I'm done", I said carrying my bag outside

As soon as I opened the door, I saw zombies. Everywhere. They saw me and started chasing after

"RONALD RUN", I screamed running with my bag towards the back

"HOLY SHIT", Ron followed and we got back to the field we were in earlier

Zombies still behind us.

We hid out in an shed with the food and hoped not to die.

"Ron I'm scared", I whispered.

"Its alright, they're passing us"

"Please tell me what happened I don't want to die like this"

"Connie please stop insisting. If I'm hiding something, it's for a reason"

"I don't want to die with curiosity"

"Then die with this", he replied, just before he kissed me. Sweet and gentle, lasted awhile and then when he heard that the zombies were gone he pulled away.

I didn't know what to say. Ron and I had only kissed 2 other times, but that was before he left the group.

"Wow", I mumbled.

He opened the shed and motioned for me to come out

"They're gone, let's keep moving", he stated running back to the mansion.

Kinda dumbfound, I followed behind him and made it back safely. With expired food.
