Thanks so much for all the reviews! I am really enjoying your thoughts. So before I forget my idea, I'm going to post this new chapter. Be happy. Disclaimer: I do not own L4D2. The masterminds at Valve does.
Chapter 4- Sweet Southern Hospitality.


I put up my long, dark red hair into a ponytail before I laid down to sleep. "Alone at last" I sighed quietly. Everyone had went to bed upstairs beside me, who was sleeping on the couch. I needed the silence and the alone time. Well semi alone.

Ellis sat in a broken recliner chair poking his rifle out the bars of the safe room. Reminds me of jail from that time I bailed my father out. Ellis would shoot any zombie that came close to the safe room to keep us survivors safe.

"Can you keep it down?" I whined putting a red, smelly pillow over my face.
"I have to shoot the zombies!" Ellis replied.
"I have to get some sleep."
"Well we all do, but we all sacrifice".
I laughed. "oh really now?"
"Mhm miss Deli". Ellis said in his thick accent.
"Like what Mr. Ellis?"
"You can call me Ellis, Deli. I sacrificed my job, my momma, my friends, everything. But at least I got people to share this apocalypse with. I'm happy that I get to share this adventure with a beautiful lady like you also".

Was he flirting with me?

"So tell me about yourself, Deli" Ellis turned to me and smiled.

There was no way this redneck was interested into a con like me.

I got up the couch and got myself a beer. Then I took the chair next to Ellis and shot some zombies coming towards us.
"Well, my name is Delilah. My dad is an asshole named Nick. My mom left us when I was young. I'm 18. Theres not much to know really. Just that i work the con business with my dad."

"Oh there has to be more, especially for a fine lady like you." Ellis smiled a sweet smile.
"How about you tell me about yourself?" I was curious.

"Wells, I have a best buddy name Kieth and we would go on wicked adventures together. I worked as a mechanic before the infection. I played bass in a band. Oh I love the midnight riders. I am also 23. I met up with the other 2 survivors outside the hotel. They seemed cool so I tagged along. Rather be in a team than alone. I like to have someone to talk to."

I took in all the information, though I realized that he didn't talk to my cleavage, he talked to my eyes. Even though my clothes didn't highlight the area, men would look. But not Ellis. He looked into my eyes.

"I can tell you are genuinely happy and optimistic. And you like to talk" I laughed. I took a long sip of the beer in my hand. "You want a sip?"
"Sure." Ellis took a quick sip and handed the bottle back to me. "You can't be drinking, your'e only 18!"
"Its a long story." I quieted him down.
"Oh well". He sighed. "Well then, ahhh, I sorta wish I had my bass with me."
"Me too." I agreed with him.
"You play bass too?"
"Yeah. Not in a band though. Just for fun." I looked down and put my hands on my knees. "I should have known you were a bass player though."
"How can you tell?" Ellis seemed interested.
"One, you have big hands and muscular arms and two, your hot."

Ellis blushed. "You don't have big hands and your skinny. But I'll agree that you are beautiful."
My bangs fell to my face, covering my left eye. Ellis took his hand, got close to my face, and brushed my bangs behind my ear. His nose touched mine. I quickly pulled away.

"I should get to sleep now. I may not sleep well cause of the noise but I might as well try. Try to keep it down." I muttered, crawling onto the coach once again.
"Goodnight Deli." Ellis said.
"Night Ellis." I sighed. "Let me get some sleep."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hopping tomorrow would be a better day. Though, this infection is the wrong time to fall for a guy, I had a slight attraction for Ellis. But I know how to hide it. And I just met him.
But he knows how to respect me and he gave me the best compliment i have ever received.
"You're beautiful" the words kept running through my head.
I can't be doing this. I have to worry about my own survival.
