Chapter 9: It's A Sin
Ava and Michael stared into each others eyes, she inched closer to him and felt Michaels body heat against her, his hands rested on the tops of her arms, their lips just touched and he pulled away. Ava didn't move, she wasn't sure what to do, Michael had turned his head away but turned it back to face her, he rested his face against her cheek and his lips grazed her skin,
' I wish I could' he murmured.
Ava went back down and bob went up to join Michael on the roof, she sat in the diner and looked at the people around her, everyone looked hopeless. Suddenly the tinkling sound of music drifted through the air and they all crowded to the windows to see what it was even Howard with his neck wound dragged himself over. They all gaped as a pink and white ice cream truck pulled up; they all stared hardly daring to blink waiting to see who would exit the truck. They watched as the door creaked open and a tall man with abnormally long limbs stepped out in an awkward fashion, he stood still for a moment and Ava was sure everyone was holding their breath in anticipation or fear.
He did nothing for a moment; he seemed to look at the windows then up to the roof, upon spotting Michael and bob, he opened his mouth, his jaw elongated so that it almost reached his chest and he let out a demonic roar. They all recoiled from the windows as they saw people begin to emerge from the darkness behind him, suddenly he sprang into action his already long limbs grew even longer and he suddenly began to move at great speed across the parking lot in a spider-like motion. People screamed and shots rang out, Ava froze and watched the people behind him move closer to them, they were getting quicker, the spider-ice cream man suddenly hit the ground and stopped moving.
Ava stepped away from the windows, she watched as Howard clutched his neck and pushed the blinds down to get a better view, his wife was whimpering as she looked at his gouged neck. Suddenly the sound of gunshots rang out and the figures were walking over the body of the ice cream man and heading straight for the diner, suddenly chaos ensued as hands tried to break through the windows, Ava recoiled and Charlie gripped her arm. Fists slammed against the glass and they watched as hands suddenly grabbed Howard, they all rushed forward and tried to pull him back, his wife Sandra screamed as he was pulled through the broken glass. The constant ringing of gunshots rained down on the zombie-like humans that were attacking them and they watched them retreat away.
Ava sat in the office and ran her hands through her hair; her stomach was twisting in fear, she thought of poor Howard and wondered what they had done to him. The door creaked open and she heard it close, she didn't look up but she knew it was Michael; he sat on the edge of the desk and tucked her hair behind her ear, his hand gliding over her cheek. She closed her eyes at the warmth of his touch and the comfort it gave her. She raised her head to look at him and he stroked her cheek with his thumb again,
' That was awful' she said hoarsely
' That was only the beginning, I'm sorry I didn't want you to be here when all this happened but it's the only place I could protect you'
' I didn't think I was important in all this?'
' Of course you are…. you're important to me' she stood up and he let his fingers glide from her cheek down her arm as she did,
' Michael…why wouldn't you kiss me?'
' It is a sin'
' For an angel yes, but you're not an angel now…sorry I didn't mean it like that'
' No you're right, I'm not an angel but it would be wrong of me to give you any false hope'
' Right now I'll take any hope I can get' she moved closer ran her hand over his stubbly cheek, he closed his eyes and she moved closer, her lips gently caressed his cheek and she felt his body shudder. Michael moved his face so her lips grazed the skin on his cheek until their lips met, Michael stood up and pulled her body closer to his.
