The Infected & The Healer

Part 10

I was oblivious to the surge of energy that had surged through me. If I had a gun, who knows what I would've done. I heard shrieks and ran into the direction I heard them from. I lunge at the figure tormenting Ava and Dominic and bring a knife to their throat. I am grabbed and put on my stomach and hear a voice "So you're awake". I kick their shin and roll onto their body pinning them like they did me. My attacker grabs my waist and holds my mouth shut making me look at poor Ava and Dominic who are hugging each other for dear life. Ava looked like she was shaking and Dominic was crying. I was in shock because the person who was holding me was my lover.

He had changed within the last 30 minutes from against me to hostile.

I couldn't respond all I could do was squeeze his hand begging him to drop the acting and hold me. I realized I hadn't been breathing so I took a breath and felt dizzy. It finally had registered to me that he must've been fighting and a corpse had blown hot poisonous air and he had breathed it in. I started crying thinking our relationship would never be the same. His face softened but his grip didn't. I pulled his shirt and stood on my toes. As we kissed Ava and Dominic went silent, they didn't know we were back together and now had come to realize it. Jojo leaned in more as I pulled away but he stopped after he heard sniffling from Dominic. I shooed them both and mouthed them to go to their rooms. They left hand in hand looking back at us like they didn't want to leave me alone with my boyfriend but they eventually rounded the corner and went to their rooms.

As soon as they were out of sight I was pinned into the wall with his kisses and strength. I groaned because of the jump I had made that had just registered and because of his force. He lifted my legs around his waist and held me while he kept grazing my lower neck with his lips. I felt a feeling which was new and it felt like sugar and salt being shaken together in my stomach but it didn't feel like butterflies. I went with it and I found myself kissing expertly. Yet somehow I didn't realize we were in a bed and half naked.

The next day I felt good. Waking up with Jojo's hand around my hips made me want to fall asleep again. But he sensed I was awake and pulled me closer while tilting me towards him letting his breath tickle my back and shoulder. I wiggled even closer to him and laced my fingers in his which were resting on my stomach. He was still serious but he seemed back to normal until he asked how good "it" was. I froze and squeezed his fingers until they were darker than purple.

"Ha! Got you! I know you would kill me if I did that to you and I would like my blood to circulate in my hand now" he chuckled as he playfully peeled my fingers off.

After he flexed his hand that triggered his arm muscles and chest which made me aware of how close we were and how long it would be until I was ready.

He moved, got up out of bed then left the room through the linking doors that connected his room with someone else's, "Oh wait it's my room" my conscious realized as I did a mental face-palm. He came back with jeans, a frayed tank-top and sandals. He went over to his tiny closet and for the first time I noticed all he was in were his boxers. I blushed and mentally slapped myself because I had just slept with my boyfriend and was blushing about his boxers while I was in a bra and hipsters. I didn't let myself go into detail on wondering how I got undressed so I got dressed too but as I bent over slightly I felt his hand smack me and I squeaked.

"Really?" I asked sarcastically looking over my shoulders.

"Yeah, you think you could top that?" He played.

I pushed him and jumped on the bed, rolled onto him and kissed him like a French pro. His hands went down my waist where he had slapped. He lifted me and gasped for air.

"Jeez you weren't kidding about you being partially French!" He said still gasping.

I smiled and put on my shoes, shirt and walked out the door waving my finger at him beckoning him to come with me. He put on a shirt and followed me to breakfast where I saw everyone for the first time in 2 weeks. When everyone saw me they cheered and said I slept like a rock. Even Bert was in a good mood. I slid into the stools lined around the counter and patted the seat next to me looking at Jojo. I didn't see Miles next to me suspecting something happened since he had last seen me but he didn't say anything. It almost felt like there was no apocalypse, no flesh eaters and no sadness. Almost.
