Gareth's POV
Albert was right, for once. This house was considerably small, having, not only one bedroom, but one floor too.
It may have made it imperfect, but it also made it relatively easy to clear out…..and it was only temporary anyway.
The kitchen was basically cleared, now, except for one last dead one, whose face Sadie wasted no time whipping her knife out and driving it through.
She shot me a look, like I was crazy, when she saw the look on my face.
"What?"
"I told you I got it" I sighed.
"Everything around us is either dead already or dying, Gar, chivalry can surely stand to take a few hits here and there" She scoffed.
"No, you're right" I chuckled. "Forgive me for being protective of my pregnant wife and unborn child. Won't happen again."
"Better not." She teased, placing her knife back on her belt, and spinning around to kiss me. "Besides…" She whispered. "Don't you even begin to act like you didn't find that hot, in the slightest."
"No, I did." I chuckled. "I definitely did.'
"THAT'S what I like to hear." She whispered in my ear.
She hopped up onto the counter, sliding her jacket off behind her, as she pulled me closer to continue kissing me.
She slid her hands down, around me, forcing me to stop her when she reached my zipper.
"Mmmm….not to be a buzzkill" I suggested. "But that dead one is kind of a mood killer."
She chuckled. "Well then…..I guess we'll just have to take this party down the hall." She motioned towards the bedroom.
"...I won't argue with that" I admitted.
She grinned, taking my hand when she hopped back down. "Well then….let's do it."
I let her lead me down the hall, to the one room we'd be staying in til we were ready to take over the church.
Sadie was shirtless still, slipping back into her jeans, when a knock broke the silence as it hit the bedroom door.
"Stay here." I cautioned, taking my gun with me to answer the door.
I lowered it upon opening it, when I looked up to find Albert standing before me. .
"Sorry!' He blurted, averting his eyes when he caught sight of Sadie, who was still dressing herself behind me.
"What do you want, Albert?" I sighed.
"Still haven't decided who's staying up to stand guard tonight." He reminded me.
"Well, you can assume that it's not you." I answered. "Or need I remind you what happened last time you were on watch?"
"Ahh, you don't…" He chuckled nervously. "You really don't."
"Good." I nodded, then considered for a few moments. "Teresa and Martin can take turns guarding tonight, then we can work out a future schedule in the morning."
"Got it." He replied, waving to Sadie as he went. "Well, night, guys."
I shut the door behind him, returning to Sadie and putting my gun back in its place.
"...That was really intimidating, Babe, I'm so glad you handled that." She teased.
"I'm tired, alright? Leave me alone." I whined.
She shook her head. "Excuses, excuses."
