Chapter 29

Well. You think you know your best friend, than WHAM! He kisses you. You think you know all there is to know, then he surprises you by silently telling you he loves you, while you slowly begin to realize you're running out of air.

We broke apart with ragged breathing and just stood there, staring at each other in shock. My reason? I think I love him back. I mean, I've known him all my life, and well, that would explain the recent blushing attacks. I wonder what his reason is?

"Same as yours." Dang it! He had been reading my mind again.

"Only sometimes." He grinned. I smiled back, unsure of what to say next. He looked off into the distance, towards the dreaded town. "Shall we continue our quest for food?" I looked at him like he was a freak. Ha ha. Get it? Like he's a freak? We're mutants? Oh never mind. "Oh fair maiden?"

I laughed long and hard. Vis pretended to look offended. "Did I say something, humorous, my lady?"

"Stop talking like an old dead person from the middle Ages!" I managed to say between laughter.

"Fine. Ruin my fun." He looked away briefly, then back at me. "Funsucker."

"Me?" I asked, punching his shoulder.

"Yes you. Always you. You constantly find a way to ruin everything I do."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you're thinking correctly?" I was enjoying this. Vis and I hadn't joked around with each other in what seemed like forever. I was probably only a few years.

"Maybe." He looked behind us, as if making sure no one was around. I followed his gaze, only to see nothing, but feel his lips against mine again. I smiled. Oh yes. I was in love with Vis.

"Glad to hear that," he whispered.

I suppressed the urge to throw him into a tree. Instead, I screamed.

"Would you quit reading my mind?"

"No." He looked thoughtful. "You still haven't answered my question."

I paused, feeling really stupid. "What question?"

Vis laughed. "The one where I asked should we go back and get food or not?"

"Oh. Food is good. I like food. I could really use some food right about now."

"Good. So, it's a date then?"

I grinned, suddenly feeling very evil. "Maybe."

Vis just smiled and put this arm around my waist as we walked back. I kept an eye out for the lady, but saw no sign of her.
