In honor of Clexa winning the Zimbio poll, here's another chapter :)
They had travelled about 25 more miles when they had to stop to seek shelter. It had gotten too dark and too chilly after the sun had set. Elyza pulled the bike over and got off, only to see a shivering brunette.
"Fuck me dead," Elyza gasped as she quickly removed her leather jacket. "I told you to wear my jacket!"
"I'm f-fine," Alicia's teeth chattered.
Elyza rolled her eyes and dug something out of a saddlebag. She turned around fiddled around for a bit. She turned back around, "Ta-da!" She gestured towards a tent she had just put together. "Now get inside and stay warm. NOW." She almost growled the last word.
Alicia hopped off the bike and scurried into the tent. Elyza dug in another saddlebag and tossed a few small blankets into the tent.
Elyza was gathering some dry pieces of wood while Alicia fiddled with her phone in the tent, huddled under the blankets. Elyza pondered what kind of music Alicia likes. "Probably basic shit," Elyza thought as she picked up an old tree branch. She dropped it and screamed, jumping back a few feet. She took out one of her 9mm, aimed at the ground, and fired.
Alicia was startled by the sound of a gun. She flew out of the tent, almost tripping, and ran towards the sound. "What?! What's wrong!" She yelled at Elyza.
Elyza paused for a moment and holstered her weapon. She cleared her throat and muttered, "Um, there was a spider."
Alicia doubled over laughing at the thought of 'Big, Tough' Elyza Lex being so terrified of a spider. "You- you-" she attempted to speak in between laughs. "But you're from Australia! How are you scared of spiders?"
Elyza smirked, cheeks flushed. She didn't want to let on that she was even slightly embarrassed. Elyza dropped the firewood and charged towards the girl. In one swift motion, she scooped her up and gently pushed her onto the ground. Elyza seized the opportunity to crawl on top of her and tickle her mercilessly.
"Ha ha, stop!" Alicia shrieked as she flailed underneath Elyza. Alicia may be taller, but Elyza had much more muscle. Elyza pinned the girl's arms above her head, leaned down, and gently placed a kiss on her lips. Alicia began to reciprocate, but then turned her head off to the side. Taking the hint, Elyza quickly got off of her and stood up.
"I- I'm sorry." Elyza stammered. She offered a hand to Alicia who was still on the ground. Alicia accepted, and stood up.
Alicia quickly averted eye contact and stared off at the ground. "It's fine." She spoke quietly, and retreated back towards the tent.
Elyza quickly and quietly picked up all her pieces of firewood and headed back towards their little camp. She took notice that Alicia was inside the tent, and made sure not to disturb her. She got the branches all piled together and effortlessly lit a fire. She sat with her legs crossed, her elbow on her leg, and her face resting on her hand. She sighed quietly as she poked at the fire. "What's your fucking deal, Elyza." She thought. "That poor girl isn't even gay and you've frightened her." She glanced towards the tent and saw no movement. Elyza grabbed one of the blankets, laid down near the fire, and called it a night.
