Chapter Seven: Mutual Attraction
"Erik….Erik…?" I woke up to Amy nudging me. I looked up to see that she was leaning over me. I realized she was covered in dry mud from yesterday remembering we didn't really get a good chance to clean off. The dry mud plastered her whole body. Even her hair looked like it was brown instead of blonde.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked her.
"Okay, but a little confused…" she told me. "Where are we?"
"We….are in a water truck." I told her.
"When did we get here?" she asked me.
"We ran and hid in here from the spinosaurus, remember." I told her.
"….Erik what happened yesterday?" Amy asked me looking confused.
"You mean….you don't remember any of it…?" I asked her.
"I don't think so." She told me.
"Not even when we were laying in the mud?" I asked her remembering I almost kissed her.
"We were lying in the mud?" She asked me eyeing me suspiciously.
"Yeah, we were both lying in the mud. You were asking me to make snow angels or something, I think the medicine had some strange side effects on you." I said laughing a little.
"Really? Snow angels, huh?" she said before cracking up herself.
"So, what else happened in the mud?" she asked still laughing.
"….well…" I started to say, but then stopped.
"Well what?" she asked still giggling.
"I almost…." I said before stopping again.
"You almost what?" Amy asked getting serious.
"I almost kissed you." I mumbled.
"What?" Amy asked me.
"I almost kissed you!" I told her a little louder than needed.
Amy sat there a few seconds in silence. I realized I was blushing madly and tried to avoid eye contact with Amy.
"Really?" she asked me looking at me.
I nodded still blushing like crazy. I couldn't find myself to even look at her at the moment.
"…..Why didn't you?" she asked me sounding kind of down. Wait…did she want me to kiss her?
"The dinosaur came and I didn't get the chance to." I told her.
Amy sat there a few more seconds without saying anything before asking, "Did you want to kiss me?"
"Yes." I mumbled.
"Huh?"
"Yes, of course I wanted to kiss you!" I told her.
I glanced up at Amy to see that she was smiling a really big smile.
"What?" I asked her looking away again.
"Erik, do you like me…more than a friend?" Amy asked me.
I didn't answer her at first. I just looked at her. I looked in her eyes and told her.
"Yes." I answered.
She smiled even more then and through her arms around my neck, hugging me.
"I like you too, Eric." She whispered in my ear.
"Really?" I asked getting excited.
She stopped hugging me and nodded smiling.
"This is great! I never thought that you like me in the way I liked you." I told her.
"Me either." She replied.
Our faces were inches apart from each other. Just as I was about to kiss her for the second time, a loud clap of thunder crashed, startling both of us causing us both to jump away.
"Dang it." I muttered under my breath. Now it was too awkward to try it again.
Amy just laughed at the expression on my face. Soon I was laughing too.
"Maybe we should get ourselves cleaned up now." I told her after we finished laughing
"You heard the thunder. I don't think it's safe to go out quite yet."
"I think the storm has actually gone past us now. The thunder came from several miles away." I replied
"Oh, alright. Let's go then." She told me climbing out of the water truck with me following behind her.
I was right. The storm had past and now the sun was peaking through the trees.
"Oh I remember that I packed shampoo and conditioner in my bag, because I knew we would eventually have to bathe." Amy said running back into the water truck. Soon she came back with the two bottles and walked a few feet to a nearby stream.
"Okay. I will let u bathe first and I will keep my back turned and keep watch from this side. Yell if you see anything."
"No, you can go first. I am kind of cold so I will just sit in the sun with my back to you first and try to warm up, before I step into cold water. I will keep watch too." She told me.
"Alright."
"Here take this." She handed me the shampoo and conditioner.
"Thanks." I replied as I headed towards the stream. I took my clothes off and first began washing the mud out of them. After I got all the mud out I hung them on a branch.
Then I started washing myself. I wetted my hair and scrubbed it with shampoo and conditioner. After that I climbed out and put my damp clothes back on.
"Okay you turn." I told Amy as I handed her the shampoo and conditioner.
"Thanks." She said heading toward the stream.
I turned my back and sat down on the ground as I waited for Amy to finish.
After a few minutes, Amy screamed. I turned to see three raptors running towards her. She began running towards me. I then grabbed her hand and we ran for the water truck and quickly climed inside, closing the hatch.
"Dang, that was too close." I said.
Amy didn't reply. I turned around to see her sitting on her bed with her knees too her chest covering herself.
"Oh." I said blushing turning around. I then grabbed a blanket and placed it around her shoulders. I didn't even realize she was naked when the raptors came close to catching us. "Sorry."
"It's alright. Thanks." She said wrapping herself in the blanket. "I didn't have time to grab my clothes when I saw them."
"Here you can take my shirt." I said taking off my shirt and handing it to her.
"Thanks." She said. I turned around and he put the shirt on. Obviously it was too big for her, but luckily it covered everything.
We could hear the raptors scratching the truck from the outside. Good thing the truck's walls were strong enough to keep the beasts outside.
"Are you hungry?" I asked her.
"Yeah, let's eat." She replied.
"What would it be today, miss." I said jokingly in the best foreign accent I could pull off.
Amy giggled. "Hmmm, what is the special for today, kind sir?" She asked me mocking my accent.
"Let's see. We have canned soup, canned beans, canned vegetables and fruit, and oh look, more canned soup." I said continuing the accent.
"I will take the canned soup." She replied laughing
"Alright canned soup it is. Hope you don't mind it being cold."
