Is This How You Date?

Eli played right along with Malvoes calling out Carl's name in an imitation of Rick's accent. She broke out into laughter before she could even finish her bit, turning her face into his lower stomach to stifle the sound.

"Ya-up. Like, if they messed with that parasite that buries itself in ant brains and makes them go all zombie. We'd be fucked then. But not as fucked as Mark,"

Eliana said this just as Selene's manchette came down on Mark multiple times, blood spewing everywhere.

"No love was lost that day. We will forever miss Mark's dad jokes."

Eliana smiled when kissed on the cheek. She glanced up and lifted a hand to caress his cheek. The tips of her fingers trailed the line of his jaw before her hand retreated.

By the time the new group was looting the untouched supermarket, Eliana had said, "That's how I shop. Minus the whole, leaving the credit card bit."

As if talking to a crowd, she continued, "these are the jokes people, and from here on out, there's not much to tease about, because it's all just too fuckin' sad."

"Oh-hoho. Just wait until the soldiers show up. Favorite part. Never look at Doctor Who the same way again."

For a moment, Eliana stopped paying attention to the movie and looked up at him again.

"You have a surprisingly comfortable lap. I will not be giving it attention all night. Take that how you will."

"It's going to be perfectly innocent; I assure you." Half lie. "Now hush, I'm trying to watch a movie here. Very rude of you to be talking."

By the time, the third act of the movie rolled around, and Christopher Eccleston was on the screen as the role of Major Henry West, Eliana frantically pointed to him.

"Ninth Doctor! Honestly, they could easily escape using the TARDIS."

During the dinner scene, Eliana sat up and straddled Malvoes' lap. She held his face in her hands, her nose touching his as she lay her forehead against his.

"I've been curious; what bads things have you done? You nick a lot as a kid or somethin'? Crawlin' out windows and shit?"
