Winter trooped beside Scarlett, her guard on high alert to make sure no zombies tried to creep up on them. Of course, they weren't exactly that smart, but they still scared the living daylights out of her. She chuckled as Scarlett smashed open the door, unlocking it and opening it to let the two enter.
"There's plastic bags at the counters," Winter said before grabbing a cart that looked like it hadn't moved in years. She threw as many bags as she could in it and grinned at her work, wiping off her hands on her jeans. "I will be one happy camper if we find some fruit cocktail," she said and laughed, referring to the sliced small fruits inside of a can.
She blushed as Scarlett asked her if she liked Declan, pushing the cart down the canned foods aisle. "That obvious huh?" She asked and tried to get her cheeks to stop lighting on fire. "But yeah, I really do," she said with a content sigh and began shoveling in cans, checking if they were expired, in the plastic brown bags.
"You and Alex are pretty steady," Winter commented as she swiped a lock of red hair that fallen loose back behind her ear. Her long ponytail swayed as she walked and grabbed foods.
Alex too turned to face Justin completely, having been angled at his seat. A deep scowl was set on his face as he listened to Declan scold Justin. He couldn't help but grin as Declan admitted that he liked Winter. Alex had had a feeling that was the case and could easily tell Winter felt the same. He had been able to read her like a book since they were small.
At Justin's comment Alex's anger boiled to an infinite degree and he nearly pounced on Justin. He grabbed the kid's shirt collar, yanking him, but not too hard, to bring them face to face. "Do not talk about them like that. It's pretty damn degrading. It's obvious you were never taught manners," Alex's voice was low and husky as he talked, his words laced with venom and hidden threats.
Releasing the kid, Alex leaned back and raised an eyebrow, daring him to make another comment. "They're way out of your league, and if you can't tell they're way older than you too," he said, calmer this time. Glancing back at Declan, Alex eyed the motel. "Should be. This place looks like a ghost town. We can check out when the girls are back," he replied and nodded in agreement. A bed sounded like heaven to him.
