So, a quick recap of how much my life had gone down the drain:
I won an alpha battle with an Alpha zombie, was on my way ho to get a cup of hot chocolate to deal with the cramps and overall pain associated with my Aunt arriving, and the boys have been asked to go find soone.
Did I miss anything? No? Didn't think so.
Fuck Face stood there smirking at n around like he knew just what buttons of theirs to push in order to get the results that he wanted. Clearly, this Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral really ant sothing to the boys.
I closed my eyes and slumped back into Wang Chao's arms. There goes getting ho in the next three days… Hopefully, wherever this City J was it wouldn't take too far away from ho.
"I am so sorry, little girl," whispered Wang Chao as he wrapped his arms around my waist and held securely. I nodded in understanding. I knew that it was not like the boys were willing to go out of their way and rescue any random people, so this had to be important to them. "The man was like a father to us after our own had died," said Wang Chao, clarifying the relationship between him, Liu Wei, and this Vice Admiral.
Well… fuck… I guess it is a done deal then. I closed my eyes as a wave of pain overtook . I had wanted to have already been in my RV, laying down in bed under my blankets with a heating pad on and a cup of hot chocolate in my hand. But the best-laid plans and all that crap.
"Can we just hurry up and leave?" I asked him in a low voice of my own. Liu Wei and Fuck Face were discussing the plans, but I wasn't really paying them any attention. I wasn't worried about any zombies nearby as it was still too soon after the last battle for them to co out of the woodwork. Not to ntion all the easy prey in the city.
Wang Chao humd in agreent, "Just a few more minutes, little girl," he croon again, causing all of my tense muscles to simply want to lt into the man. I gave him more of my weight as I turned around and cuddled my face into his chest and breathed in his scent. The sll of leather and wood with just a hint of sage and bergamot hit . Taking in a few more breaths, I realized that I could quickly beco addicted to that scent.
I let the world fade away and concentrated on the feeling of Wang Chao's arms around , his scent in my nose and his heartbeat in my ear.
But I probably should not have let him affect as much as he did, because I missed a few crucial pieces of information as I wallowed in his embrace.
Crucial piece #1: City J was even further south than City H and would take us at least 3 weeks of traveling to get there. And that would be traveling by foot.
Why, you ask. Why on earth would I be traveling by foot when I have like 25 campers, 2 heavy-duty ATVs, and at least 15 of the smaller ATVs?
Well, that would be part of crucial piece number 2 that I missed.
Crucial piece #2: Fuck Face and his n were planning on traveling with us. Fuck My Life.
I would like to point out that I didn't co out of whatever spell Wang Chao had under until after everything had been settled and we were on our way. Stupid fucking n.
"So…" I said, wondering how I was going to keep my temper AND tell the n off at the sa ti. "Could soone let know how exactly this happened?"
"Which part?" Asked Liu Yu Zeng, not aware of the land minds that were littered all around him. There was a reason why Liu Wei and Wang Chao had not volunteered a response.
"The part where we are going in the opposite direction as ho, with Fuck Face… while walking," I replied, taking a deep breath and putting one foot in front of another. My cramps were coming out in full force, and my Aunt was worse than anything I had experienced in the last 15 years of all of my lives combined. Normally, I skated by just fine… but no, not today. Today my body had to knock on my ass while the boyos around made it so I couldn't do anything about it…
Because…
Of….
Fuck Face!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I will fully admit to spiraling down into a hopeless rage inside of my head, but clearly I was doing a great job at hiding it from anyone else around . For fucks sake, I couldn't even take 5 minutes to deal with things and clean myself up because n were selfish bastards that did not understand anything!
Breathe Dai Lu…. Just breathe.I think you should take a look at
"Ok, how about we take a quick stop here," said Wang Chao, clearly listening in to my thoughts. "If the rest of them want to keep going, let them. We are taking a 15-minute break. Let everyone know."
I sighed in relief and without another word, disappeared into my space.
I rember back on the ranch thinking that this place was redundant as I had everything that I needed at the ranch, but now I was ecstatic as I stepped foot into the house, peeling off my clothes as I went. Since ti froze inside my space, I could take hours, even days to myself and have it be less than a second away from the guys.
And I was going to take advantage of that.
Turning on my shower, I stepped inside and let the hot water fall down on my head like a waterfall. Once the heat had worked through so of the tense muscles in my shoulders and back, I grabbed my shampoo and started to wash my hair. Taking my ti, I washed it with shampoo twice and then put in the conditioner. I found my favorite body wash and quickly lathered myself up as the conditioner continued to work its magic.
Once I felt clean enough, I stood back under the shower head and let everything rise off. It was amazing what a good shower could do to your outlook.
Getting out, I quickly dried myself off, got everything settled as far as my Aunt was concerned, and then dove into bed and under the covers.
Taking just long enough to turn on my heating pad and placing it on the small of my back, I fell asleep, a contented smile on my face.
After a good 10 hours of sleep, I got up, make myself so breakfast, got a travel mug of hot chocolate and a piece of vanilla cake with vanilla icing and sprinkles over top. Walking out the door, I sat on the porch swing of my wrap-around deck and looked out into the fields where the pigs, horses, and cows were enjoying themselves.
The chickens and ducks were in another part of the farm that I couldn't see from my place, but I was fine with that. Chickens and ducks were way too noisy for what I wanted from this morning.
Finishing my cake and hot chocolate in peace and quiet, I returned the dirty plates to the kitchen and after a quick wash, was willing to go back to the real world and face whatever was going to co my way.
Closing my eyes, I reappeared in the exact spot that I had left. Cracking my neck, I nodded to Wang Chao. "Ready when you are," I said, looking around . The n had just started to take a seat and relax when I had returned.
"We'll be ready in 15," assured Wang Chao as he looked over. Seeing that my hair was washed, I was in clean clothes and in a much better mood, he smiled at . "I'm glad you have that place to be able to recharge."
I nodded in agreent. "Maybe one day I'll take you there and show you around," I said, looking up at the man that had stood by my side for the past year.
He nodded in return, understanding that it would take more ti for to bring them into my last sanctuary, and completely fine with that. That was one of the best parts about Wang Chao, he didn't push unless it was necessary.
Liu Wei on the other hand…. "Hello, Sweetheart, don't you sll sweet, like cherries and vanilla," the jerk whispered in my ear causing goosebumps to break out over my skin.
"Oh no," I said, pushing him back. "You, Sir, are in the doghouse."
Liu Wei pretended to shudder, "Call that again, Sweetness," he said, trying to seduce with his voice. The fact that he was succeeding was sothing that I would never admit to.
"Doghouse," I enunciated. "Why the sweet Hell do we have to travel with Fuck Face and his n?"
"I'm sorry," said Liu Wei, gathering in his arms. The fact that he was speaking to in his normal voice made relax. He understood that I was not happy. "I tried to convince him otherwise, but he insisted. It will only be for a few weeks and then we will part ways as soon as we get Zhou Gang Jia, or at least, make sure he is ok."
I nodded my head. At least with Fuck Face and his n we would have enough cannon fodder for the zombies.
See… silver linings.
