Naturally, the second that I opened the door she reacted, flipping onto her back and yanking her hands away from herself as if she had touched a hot stove. “Uhm… hey,” she said by way of greeting, scooting up on her butt until she was sitting up against the headboard, the sheet twisted high up on her chest in one tiny fist as she stared at me with almost shock. “G’morning,” she added.
I couldn’t help but notice her flushed face, the gleam of perspiration on her forehead, the way her nostrils flared as she breathed… and tried not to think about what I had ‘caught’ her doing. “Hey,” I replied as I felt a deep blush run up my neck and into my face. You weren’t just masturbating and SHE wasn’t just masturbating and neither of us knows what the other was doing… “Bathroom’s free,” I added lamely.
“Ah… thanks.” Her purple eyes were wide as she peered at me, sliding from my face down my body and back up, and I could swear that I felt her gaze on my little-foxgirl form, and it felt so good, like a lover’s caress. “I’m good,” she added as she tore her orbs from me and over towards the opposite wall.
First my stomach rumbled to remind me that, except for way too much wine, I hadn’t had anything to eat all day yesterday, and Nina’s matching tummy grumble told me that she too had a hunger that was nowhere near sexual. I glanced at the brunette, who glanced at me in shock… and then we both burst out laughing. “Okay,” I managed to choke out, “let’s not think about… that. We’ve got a bigger problem.”
“Yeah. We needed food.” She replied in a simple, direct tone.
“But there’s nothing in here,” I continued with a frown as I slid my heels up to my flat backside and hugged my knees with my arms. “Really, you’ve only got some olives that I think you bought sometime around Christmas 2024 and couple of bottles of water…”
“And wine,” she interjected with a teasing grin.
“And plenty of wine,” I agreed with a matching grin.
“Maybe we can order some takeout delivered, or something,” the little brunette replied with a smirk as she absentmindedly stroked her cotton-covered thigh through the sheet. “We should also try to get some more water stored,” Nina suggested as leaned back as well and matched my reclined position. “Batteries and flashlights,” she added.
“A transistor radio,” I replied.
“First aid kits.”
“Some real clothes, like stuff that will fit.”
“Some real weapons, guns ‘n shit like that.”
“I wouldn’t even know where to find things like that,” I admitted. I turned my head to look at her and gave a little shrug. “The only time I’ve ever even seen a gun is on America.”
“There’re more out there than you think,” she replied, once more mirroring my movements. “Lots of gangsters have guns, hunting rifles and shotguns at least. And if you’ve got the money, you can probably find a way around the gun laws.” She shrugged as well and returned her gaze to the ceiling. “There’s probably a ton of ‘em up here, given all the rich folks around, peering down on us lowlifes.” She paused for a moment as her words sunk in, blushed, and then glanced at me. “Sorry, I wasn’t talking about you…”
“Don’t worry about it,” I laughed dismissively with a wave of a hand. “I’m rich in personality, and money.”
We continued our discussion, but every idea we came up with always led back to the same thing, and we quickly came to the same conclusion… without supplies there would be no possible way for us to survive more than another day or two. And considering that there were no supplies in my house, we ended up at the only other conclusion that we could make – we would have to head to another nearby house to see if we could get said supplies there.
Naturally, Nina thought it was a terrible idea. “I do not want to go back out there!” she said emphatically, sitting bolt upright as a horrified look crossed her face. “I can’t! We can’t!!! You don’t know how bad it is out there…”
“I know,” I quickly said as I too rolled onto up and crossed my legs Indian-style on the somewhat sweaty sheet. “I don’t much want to go out their either,” I admitted, swallowing heavily as a small little jolt of fear ran through my body and caused my heart to pound in my chest. “But the truth of the thing is that we don’t have much of a choice. I’ve got nothing to eat, we’re nowhere near ready to actually do anything to help ourselves…”
“Maybe You's Army’ll come and help,” the brunette offered with a desperate look in her eyes.
“Maybe,” I said with a tiny shrug, and then took half a second to pull the oversized collar of my adult-tee back up over my shoulder. “Maybe not. I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but we might have to…” I swallowed again, steeled my spine, and tried to look determined. “We might be on our own here,” I concluded quietly.
“Yeah.” I knew she didn’t want to admit it aloud, but Nina could see the logic in my words. “So, where do we go to get the stuff we need?”
