Enjoy everyone! Lucky Ro finds a guy I'm crushing on still :P
Carolina woke up with her eyes burning from tears. Last night, she cried about what Tallahassee did to her. It was the most amazing kiss she'd ever felt, but last time that happened, she was left alone, broken and heartless. There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Carolina? Are you awake?" a southern voice asked behind the door.
"Yeah, come in." Carolina replied sitting up on the bed while trying to fix her bed hair. Tallahassee opened the door then closed it again. "Carolina? What was with you yesterday?" he asked sitting next to her on the bed.
"What was with you? What was that kiss for?"
"It was an urge, I'm sorry if you didn't like it." he said looking down but Carolina shook her head.
"No, no I liked it." Tallahassee looked back up at her.
"But Roanoke sorta...yelled at me saying that I don't know much about you. I just didn't want to get attatched. I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt again." she explained.
"I'm not that type of guy, Carolina. And if you think I am then this is never going to work." he said wrapping his arms around her tightly.
"Going to work out? What are you saying?" she smiled.
"Oh well I-well-umm..." Tallahassee tripped over words when Carolina pressed her index finger to his lips.
"I'd love to." she smiled and kissed him quickly.
"But what will Roanoke say?"
"The only way for me to be with you is to know more about you." she explained.
"Alright. Let's make a date. Tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow, let's go to Pacific Playland for a date." Tallahassee smiled.
Carolina nodded.
"Ok. Fun." she smiled and got up from the bed. "I'm starving. Who's making breakfast?"
"I believe Witchita is teaching Little Rock this morning. That should be fun to watch." he said following her and taking her hand in his. Carolina smiled up at him and laced her fingers with his as they walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Little Rock had pancake flour all over her and Wichita. "No way that looks fun!" Carolina smiled. Witchita stopped laughing when she noticed Tallahassee and Carolina's hands together. "Better not let Ro catch you two." she said. Tallahassee shook his head. "Nah she's out on the road right now donig God knows what."
Roanoke sped along the road for a while until she heard gunshots.
"Strange, I'm about five miles away from Murray's and I don't remember any of the others leaving." Roanoke mumbled to herself. She turned a sharp corner and drove towards the shots. She finally saw a pack of zombies chasing after someone down the road.
"Sweet." Roanoke muttered before placing a toothpick in her mouth. She was armed exactly like Angel was in Hot Fuzz, two huge guns on the back and some other sort of weapon everywhere else. She ran towards the zombies and pulled out a machine gun, shooting animated corpses down. Roanoke began to laugh her head off as she threw Molotovs into the crowd. Watching flaming corpses stumble around was always fun!
After a few minutes, Roanoke and the stranger had mowed down the horde and Roanoke chewed sassily on her toothpick when she was done.
"Nice shootin'." said a British voice.
"Ah, a Brit! Now we're talkin'!" Roanoke laughed, turning around. Her jaw dropped and the toothpick fell right out of her mouth. Her breath hitched in her throat and she was at a loss for words.
"You...You're...Simon Pegg!"
"That I am, love, and whom do I owe the pleasure of savin' my arse?" he laughed. Roanoke threw off her shades and smiled.
"You're freaking Simon Pegg!"
"We've established that." Simon said cheerily.
"Holy crap! It's my idol! Hot Fuzz! Shaun of the Dead! You are like... a freaking.. oh my God!" Roanoke ran her hands through her hair and breathed deeply.
"Calm down, although, neva mind, I hadn't had any fans for a while. I came to America for a little r and r and then whataya know, another zombie invasion!"
"Were you prepared for this one?" joked Roanoke.
"Yes but I didn't think that they would run..."
"Haha! Yeah, I taught the neighborhood a few new words once I saw that!"
"Haha! What's your name love?"
"The name's Roanoke. Um, me and my gang go by where we come from or where we're going, we don't use our real names, it's to keep from getting too familiar...although come to think of it, we're all too familiar already so I don't see the harm in it but whatev."
"Pleasure, Roanoke, and I'm-"
"Oh I know who you are! I love your stuff! I am such a huge fan, Mr. Pegg!"
"Just call me Simon!"
"Erm..okay..so, er, Simon... where are you headed?"
"Nowhere in particular, I might go with you."
"Really? Wow! Um, feel free! My convertible is right down the street."
"Well alright, let's go!" The two headed to the car and one zombie was lingering around it.
"Oi! Prick! Don't touch my car!" Roanoke yelled, shooting the zombie dead with her pistol.
"Nice." said Simon.
"I know, who do I look like?"
"Hrm...me? In Hot Fuzz?"
"Yep, attempted though, I can't get as awesome as you."
"I must say you pegged me quite well there."
"Heh, heh, 'pegged'...crap, Tallahassee's sad jokes are rubbing off on me. Well, let's go." The whole ride home, Roanoke was thinking, 'Oh my God! One, he's sexy, two, he's sexy and three, he's sexy! Oh my God! I am right beside Simon Pegg! I'm in heaven in hell!'
After everyone washed the pancake powder off themselves, it was already two in the afternoon. "Where the did the time go?" Wichita asked putting her wet hair up in a pony tail. "I don't care, that was fun!" Little Rock laughed. "What's wrong, Ohio?" Wichita asked noticing Columbus sitting on the bed looking down.
"He didn't tell me he liked her that's all." he said shaking his head.
"Oh forget about it. You didn't exactly come out with it when you said you liked me." she smiled joining him. Columnus smiled. "Yeah you're right."
Downstairs, Tallahassee was dozing on the couch. Carolina had read what Roanoke put in her diary. It was something nice and helpful which made her happy. She went into the living and saw Tal snoring lightly. She turned the Ipod on in the living room. Music filled the whole room quietly, waking Tal up. He grunted.
"I'm sleepin' here." he said.
Carolina walked over to him and pulled him up. "I'm bored. You can sleep later. I wanna talk to you." she said wrapping her arms over his shoulders. Tallahassee smirked and narrowed his eyes when he grasped her hips firmly, swaying her side to side. Their foreheads touched gently.
"Well, what do you wanna talk about?" he asked.
She shrugged. "I don't know."
"You just wanted to see my purdy face did ya?" Carolina blushed and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Maybe."
The two listened to the lyrics from Secret Love. But it didn't have the beat for slow dancing, but making love instead. Of course, Tallahassee was the first to think that. One of his hands went up to the middle of her back, the other moved the strap of her top off her shoulder in order to suck lightly on it.
"Do you do that to every girl you meet?"
"Hmmmm." Tallahassee mumbled as a yes.
"As very tempting as this is, Florida, I don't want to do it yet."
"Oh ok, I'm sorry." the cowboy removed his lips from her shoulder, which left a red mark and teeth marks, and placed the straps where they belong.
The slamming of the front door made them both jump. "That must be Roanoke." Tallahassee stepped back from Carolina and gave her a smile before heading into the living room. Carolina sighed and reached for her shoulder to feel how tender it was. She went back into the bedroom she and Tal woke up in and collapsed on it. Tears of joy filled her eyes. Her rule was terminated, and it was such a huge relief.
Meanwhile, Tallahassee was freaking out that Roanoke brought Simon Pegg home with her.
"Oh my God! You're Simon Pegg!" Roanoke looked at Simon plainly.
"Do you get this often?" she asked.
"Not lately."
"First Bill Murray! Now Simon freaking Pegg!"
"Uh-huh, that's nice, Tal, now go somewhere." Roanoke grumbled, attempting to push Tal out of the room.
"I am such a huge fan!"
"Not as huge as me!" Roanoke claimed over her shoulder.
"Really, Cabbage patch?" challenged Tallahassee.
"Really." Roanoke cracked her neck.
"I got all of his movies!"
"That ain't impressive, cowboy! I got Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz posters! Vintage!"
"Please, I know all his best quotes!"
"That's not fan-ish, that's just creepy and stalkerish!" Wichita, Little Rock and Columbus came into the room to find Ro and Tal going at it and Simon sitting there laughing to himself.
"What are ya'll fightin' about this time...and what's Simon Pegg doing in our living room?" asked Wichita.
"Wait, wait, wait. Who's Simon Pegg?" asked Little Rock.
"Look, I've never hit a kid before." said Roanoke and Tallahassee in unison, pointing at Little Rock.
"The guy that plays in Hot Fuzz." said Columbus.
"Oh! Cool!" yelled Little Rock.
"I love that movie!"
"Me too!" said Wichita. They all stepped up to talk to Simon but Roanoke stood between them and Simon.
"Don't you all have some place to be? Lord! Go somewhere and give the man his space!" everyone muttered apologies and talked amongst themselves.
"Where's Carol?"
"Upstairs." Roanoke peered over her shoulder to innocently stare at Simon.
"Yes?" he asked, chuckling.
"Is it okay if I pull a Shaun of the Dead line?"
"Be my guest." Roanoke smiled brightly and cupped her hands over her mouth.
"Oi! Prick!" she called up the stairs. Simon and Tallahassee laughed and Roanoke smiled.
"You rang, Ro?" asked Carolina, coming down the stairs.
"Yo, this is Simon Pegg, Simon, this is Tal, Wichita, Columbus, Little Rock and Carolina." Roanoke explained, gesturing to each person.
"Great, now that we all know each other, I shall show Simon here, his room!" Roanoke claimed, happily dragging Simon upstairs.
Upstairs, Roanoke stopped at her room.
"Uh, first, I must get rid of my battle gear!" Simon laughed as Roanoke went into her room and flipped on the light. She unclipped her belt and shrugged her weapons off, Simon watched with an open mouth as she took off her jacket and undid her green hair from it's beautiful ponytail.
"Now, not that I wouldn't mind sharing, this is not your room, so, we venture on!" Roanoke joked, turning out the light.
"I wouldn't mind sharing." Simon smiled.
"What?" asked Roanoke.
"Said I wouldn't mind sharing with a pretty lass such as yourself." Roanoke stood floored.
"Did you just say pretty? If you 'adn't noticed...I have green hair. It's a rarity for a guy to even look at me." Roanoke said solemnly.
"Why wouldn't they?" asked Simon as they strolled lazily down the hall.
"Well, I was always the freak in school so that meant zero dates." Roanoke rolled her eyes.
"Well those lads musta been pretty stupid." Simon muttered so she couldn't hear.
Tallahassee took Carolina's hand and walked back upstairs.
"This was an interstin' night." he chuckled and walked into her room.
"Yeah it was. I'm tired. Sleep with me?" Carolina turned around, grabbing both of his hands and pulled him on the bed with her.
"I'd be delighted." he smiled and snuck under the covers with her and pulled her close. She rested her head on his head and tangled her legs with his. "Good night." she yawned.
"Good night."
