Alone

Thank you

After I had quickly ran down the stairs and back to my room at breakneck speed, I turned the little bedside lamp on next to my bed and fell asleep much easier tonight.

I woke up to a few loud knocking sounds startling me and making me jump up in my bed. I finally registered that it was a knock at my room door making me run to it, open it, and peer my head out, only to not see Dan standing there. I looked down an saw a mess of objects in front of the door. My computer, my phone, my chargers, and a plate of bacon and toast with a glass of orange juice. I opened my door and took the items into my room. I still held my plate and glass orange juice thinking how nice of a gesture this all was. It kind of made my heart beat in a weird way.

I walked out of my room with them and down the hall to Dan's room door. I sandwiched my glass between my upper arm and torso, giving me a free hand so I could knock.

"Come in." I heard his voice say. I slowly opened his door to see he had a nicer and more spacious room than me, with a sofa. He was sitting on his bed dressed in all black.

"Something wrong?" He asked.

"No." I felt momentarily nervous "Can I eat with you?"

"Of course." I sat down quietly in the chair in the corner of his room.

"Thank you." I said "I haven't had cooked food since everyone...." I trailed off not wanting to think about it again and bit into the toast.

"Don't mention it."

"And thanks for going to get my things."

"Well I can't have the last woman on earth dying of boredom now, could I?" He smiled a little but his eyes stayed on his laptop screen.

He finally looked over at me and laughed. "Why are you in your underwear?"

"Oh, I just woke up... That and I need more clothes." I said suddenly feeling embarrassed that I had forgotten what I was wearing.

"If I would have known I would have brought you some from your home."

"No, I need something fun to keep me busy."

"Driving through shop windows and stealing clothing from posh shops is you're idea of fun? I saw what you did to Rodeo drive." He snorted with sarcasm and amusement.

"It's not really stealing if there's no one else left." I looked at him sitting there on the bed. He was actually Dan Howell, millions of girls went crazy for him and here I was trapped on this planet possibly by ourselves, in this same room right now, with me in my underwear. He didn't seem to care though, it wasn't like he was attracted to me anyway, I was seventeen and he was 25 now. But did age really matter when you were the last two people on earth? He was in fact extremely attractive. I looked at him while I chewed some bacon. His face was perfect and even though the apocalypse had somehow happened, his hair was still neatly styled. I couldn't tell if it was the bacon or Dan making me drool.

"The kitchen had huge gallon jugs of water, I'll bring them up to you later so you can flush your toilet." He said painfully murdering my gushingly cute thoughts of him.

"Thanks."
I finished my food and got up making him suddenly look at me like he was going to maybe ask where I was going so soon.

"Just leave the dishes, I'll take care of them." He said I set them down in the chair, thanked him yet for the billionth again and left.

I went out in my t-shirt, underwear and Chucks, because who the Fuck cares when there's no one else around?

I spent half the day getting expensive and pretty swimsuits, underwear, perfumes, shampoos, more clothes and shoes and makeup. To be honest I kind of wanted to impress Dan and maybe look a bit older, because well, he was Dan and the last man ever. I went back to my room, put on some amazing make up and a black swimsuit, a pretty necklace, sunglasses, and a crazy sexy pair of heels. Who the fuck wears heels to the pool though? Pretty people, that's who. I oiled myself up making me feel like a greased up pig and hoped I didn't look like one as well.

I had a terrible time making it up the stairs to the pool in heels and oil all over my body, but I looked hot as fuck so who cares if I broke my neck, right?

I laid down on a lounge seat and closed my eyes behind my sunglasses, feeling the heat from the sun heat my skin. I was there a while before I flipped over onto my stomach.

"Hey." I heard Dan's voice. "What are you doing?"

"Getting my post apocalyptic tan on, bitch." I said making him laugh possibly at my childishness. I saw him take a seat next to me with his black jeans rolled up in a white tank and bare feet.

"That is such a female thing to do."

"Then why are you out here too, you sexist?" I retorted.

"I am not sexist. What else am I going to do?"

"Hunt for food, club a mammoth, build us a shelter. I don't know, you're the man."

"Look who's sexiest now." He said with a laugh "Also, I cook and clean so doesn't that mean you should be the one clubbing mammoths and what not?"

"Yeah." I said as I stood up. "I'll get right on that." I walked over to the pool and I felt his eyes on me as I dived in.
When I came back up I noticed he was on his phone. I swam a minute before going back to my lounge chair.

"Is there something nice I can do for you to thank you for this morning?" I asked clearly flirting with him after I had laid back in my seat.

"Huh? Oh, no. It's fine." He said still on his phone and blowing me off.

"What could you possibly be doing over there?"

"Looking up ways to survive." He stated.

"Why does it even matter if we survive? We're probably the last of us."

"We are the last of us, I've checked the radio and the Internet for anything, there's nothing." He said. "And I don't know about you but I want to try to live as long as I can." He stated.

"After us the human race will be gone forever." It really started to sink in for me but he stayed quiet. "We could try to repopulate you know, like Adam and Eve." I said unsure of how he would react but going ahead and just put it out there anyway.

I immediately regretted my statement.
