The Survivors

Flat mates

Ria had had her shower and decided to do herself some food .

She was standing cooking in her towel which just about covered her front but had dropped down she was completely naked from behind she heard the voices and quickly swung round but was a little to late as the men were already at the top of the stairs .

She stood there a piece of bread in her mouth one hand just about holding the towel on her front shock on her face .

Bill started apologising , Gordon just laughed and Eric just stared .

Gordon broke the silence first just being casual “ hey have you got a minute “

Ria looking awkward but couldn’t help being entertained by Eric’s reaction responded “ let me Chuck on some clothes and I be with you “ she then headed for her bedroom a few minutes later she tried to regain her chilled composure and then returned in a small pair of shorts and a little vest top .

Eric couldn’t help but notice her shapely figure , she was perfect in every way .

He couldn’t believe he could feel this way no girl had ever made he think or feel this was before .

He just stood silently watching .

“ Sit down “Ria gestured

The men all sat at the small table .

“ So we have housed everyone but we are just left with Eric and I thought as you have space he can stay here till we can sort something “ Gordon asked .

Ria didn’t quite know how to respond so she went for her brutal honesty “ I don’t play well with others “ she finally answered “ you know I don’t that’s why I stay here out the way I’m not sure it will work “

“ Can you please just give it a go “ Gordon continued .

“ Then if we get space elsewhere we can rethink it we have always discussed someone shadowing you this would be perfect “

Ria had no choice she realised this “ ok she said we trial it and see how it goes “

“ Good” Gordon responded “ thank you “

He then turned to “ Eric ok I leave you with Ria .

Eric nodded he was some what lost for words he had no idea what to say so he just stayed quiet .

He briefly looked at Bill who was smirking Eric just shook his head at him .

“ Right we will leave you both in peace and we will catch up in the morning “ Gordon said then stood up to leave Bill also stood “ see you both later “ he said and they both left .

They just left Ria and Eric looking at each other Ria felt so awkward so did Eric after a few minutes silence Ria decided to break the ice

“ Ok your awkward I’m awkward let’s just get on with it let me give u a tour “ she said .

“ My room she gestured to the left out of bounds to you , your room “ she gestured to the right to a small room with a bed and a wardrobe .

A real bed what a luxury .

“ Kitchen “she continued “ I cook as I don’t eat with others if your here eat with me if not you go over road to the bar they do meals their and that’s the bathroom use what you like anything low let me know “ she continued “ well think that’s it dump your bag and we can eat “ Ria said

They sat ate quietly together Eric found the food delicious it was some sort of stew he hadn’t eaten like this for months it was fantastic.

Once they finished he was curious about her “ so Bill said he known you a while “ Eric stated.

After some hesitation she answers “ yep he arrested me for assault on one of mums boyfriends “ Ria continued. “

We all got skeletons but the worlds changed “ he acknowledged.

Ria nodded then laughed “ I like this world before I was a criminal now I’m a hero “

“ interesting take on it “ Eric acknowledged.

They stared at each other awkwardly then Ria said “ I am walking the wall checking its all ok “ she stood up “ you coming ?”

Eric nodded .

Ria collected her weapons and he followed her out she explained her routine how she walks the wall checks it all etc then she took him to the office explained how she looted and where and showed him the map of the areas she covered and where to go and how she plotted it .

She explained that eventually the place would be self sufficient before supplies run out .

Eric was actually amazed by her she was not just beautiful but selfless and clever the arrogant girl he first met showed so much depth he was really impressed by her .

“ Its amazing what you done here “ he said .

She shrugged modestly “ Na just did what I could “

“ No really it’s amazing “ Eric repeated .

They looked at each other respect breaking through but there exchange was broken by

Tyler calling to Eric it was the first time Eric had seen one of his people since they arrived .

Ria went to speak to Dylan who was watching them intently whilst Ria had been showing him things .

“Hey Eric how cool is this place “ Tyler eagerly said

“ It is” Eric responded.

“ She is seriously fit “ Tyler gestured to Ria

“ She would chew you up and spit you out “ Eric answered .

Tyler looked at Eric and narrowed his eyes “ you sound bit defensive there “ Tyler said laughing again

“ No“ Eric protested “ just looking out for you “

“ Whatever “ Tyler said .

“ I catch you later “ he patted Eric on the back and took off towards the houses .

Ria walked back to Eric still being watched all the way by Dylan “ god that blokes annoying “ Eric thought .

Ria looked at Eric as she approached him his heart was melting his stomach turning and he had a low ache he her voice quickly brought him round

“ Where’s the lad gone ?“ she asked referring to Tyler .

“Back to get sleep “ he said

He motioned to Dylan “ he your bloke ?”

Ria laughed “ noooo he wishes but no I don’t do men well I do but not in a having a bloke way “ she laughed .

“What about you I saw you with the girl earlier “ she asked meaning Jill .

“ No same as you “ he said we just mates ,

“ She likes you though “ Ria stated slightly more serious tone . Eric shrugged “ about as much as he does you “ he said .

Again they exchanged a brief look.

They finally walked back to the flat both feeling like the ice was melting slightly between them they were very similar in a lot of ways.

“ Night” Ria said and went in to her room and shut the door .

She was exhausted and needed to sleep and straight away she was dreaming of Eric .

He also crashed quickly with the same thoughts he was thinking of her he was imaging kissing her the naked back he seen last night when he walked in he was thinking if he removed the towel would the front be as beautiful if not more so .

The light shone through the window it was morning already he was waking up still dressed but with the biggest hard on .

There was a knock at the door “ yep” he answered Ria stuck her head in the door “ fancy an adventure “ she said he nodded still half asleep .

She suddenly noticed his clothes and his erection .

“ I see you downstairs in ten as I expect you wanna get changed plus you won’t ride like that “ she giggled .

He looked down and felt his cheeks glowing .

“ Need a hand “ she playfully asked suddenly thinking what she would do if he said yes but knowing he wouldn’t .

“ I’m good thanks “ he said a slight smile breaking through .

“ See you in ten “ she said heading down to the garage to decide on her bike she couldn’t help smile .

After laying there for a moment he groaned got up jumped in the shower oh my god what a novelty running water he had a shower sorted himself out at the same time got himself dressed feeling better now the pressure easing in him after m**********g and easing his load .

What is this girl doing to me he considered as he headed for the garage .
