His face flushed at this point when she mentioned that. It excited him a little as she might've been implying her interest in him too. He drove on "that's... That's great, hehe two single people, what are the odds?" he laughed nervously wanting to take it slow while at the same time he wanted her right now. "I um... Were headed to queens, my aunt has a house there that she lets me use. So she's probably not there... Then from there we can plan our route to a safe zone" he said and kept driving for a while.

It was a while of silence before he broke it again "so... Have you ever, you know... Been on a date before?" he asked shyly.

He nodded and began to drive again trying to get out of New York City. He began to think and his aunt had a house in queens, so he began to drive on the highway towards that direction. "I see, so... Aaliyah... I guess a little about me, I'm from New York city like I said before. I didn't really like to go out much but when I did I loved going to see concerts and things like that. At home I always spent my time shopping online as I'm kinda a shopaholic" he laughed a little then continued "I didn't have many friends. And... I'm single..." he blushed a little after saying that but implied he was interested in her. Maybe it might've been too early to date a total stranger that you just met not even 2 hours ago but she wasn't like other girls. She was different, in a good way.

He smiled a little after she spoke "haha thank you, and that's interesting, so, let's get going then shall we?" he said getting back in the car waiting for her. He still needed to find them a place to camp for the night but he was sure they'd find somewhere soon. "So, I'm sure you have a lot of friends back home huh?" he asked. Wasn't really the first thing that came to mind but anything to keep the conversation going. After all he wanted to get to the big question, was she single? He wondered.

He listened to her speak as he finished looking for things. He replied "not much, I worked full time at a clothing store at the mall. That's actually all I've done all my life. I'm not that interesting either to be honest but anyway... What are you hobbies?" he asked as he went back to the car with her.

He looked around and salvaged what they could and then went over to her "not much here but it'll keep us going. Anyway, England sounds nice, I've always wanted to go there. So, what did you do for a living back home?" he asked doing some last checks.

He kept driving along trying to look for someplace that wasn't as infested with zombies. He tried not to show his affection as it probably would have seen silly. He chuckled a little "hehe yes yes I'm alright, I guess I'm just glad to have you with me Aaliyah, probably cause there aren't that many people left alive. And I suppose I would consider you a blessing to me" he smiled a little.

He saw a gas station and slowed down to stop for fuel and food and water. "Let's go get some more supplies, what we have at the moment will last us for a month so it's best to get some more" he said getting out of the car. He pulled out his shotgun in case there were any zombies around it and walked around with her. "So um... Aaliyah... Tell me about yourself? What part of the UK are you from?" he asked trying to make small talk.

He drove off quickly, dodging a few abandoned cars before getting out of the parking garage. And just in time too, not far away was the horde of zombies that were coming for them earlier. He sighed in relief and just drove without a general direction.

After he had relaxed a little he turned to Aaliyah "are you alright?" he asked hoping she was. He then looked her over and smiled a little with a slight blush on his face after realizing that he found her a little attractive from her personality to her looks and accent. He wanted to know more about her but he was always bad at striking up conversations with people.

He looked around before taking her hand and running as soon as he saw another horde of zombies come out of an alley. He held onto her hand tightly not wanting to let her go and die like he watched his own friend weeks ago. He ran into a parking garage only to find only a few zombies. Raising his shotgun, he fired once killing one zombie while 3 others walked their way. He pointed and fired again killing one and injuring the other two. "Cover me while I find us a car" he said to her.

Looking around he saw a nice Ford mustang that seemed to be very cliche and Hollywood for the situation they were in. But nonetheless he decided he would take it. He broke the window by shooting it and shattering the glass before unlocking the door and getting in it. It took him a little while to hotwire it but he got it going. He then looked to Aaliyah "get in quick!" he yelled knowing the horde would be there soon.

He smiled a little feeling good. He was never this nice to people but he felt she was special in some way. He walked out with her cautiously in case there were any zombies. After the coast was clear he waved to her to follow him down the street before encountering the sound of groaning in the distance.

He had turned to Aaliyah "uhh oh, zombies, by the sound of it, at least 20 to 30" he said. "We should get out of here and head west, that way we can find a place to spend the night and settle down. Is that ok?" he asked her.

It didn't take him long to finish packing his things. He then went to do a last check of his place before picking up the duffel bag full of some weapons and ammo as well as supplies. Then he turned to Aaliyah noticing she had a kind of troubled look.

That was when he noticed how dirty she looked. Her clothes were torn and she didn't appear to have much with her . This made him feel a little bad as here he was sleeping in a nice comfy bed while she was out there surviving on her own. He walked over to her "you ok? Something on your mind? You know if you need anything from ammo to first aid, please don't hesitate to ask" he said feeling obligated to help her now. With that he put a hand on her shoulder as a sign of reassurance that they would be ok and had walked with her back downstairs.

Jeffrey had on some black sneakers with some casual shorts and a t shirt with his favorite band Napalm Death on it. Over that, a large trench coat to hold his shotgun in as well as some more ammo that he couldn't fit in his duffel bag that he was carrying.
