[color=fff200]Day 5 4pm[/color]
Cody was concerned about the amount of food left and after checking on Harley and waving at Jae and Kai he walked into the kitchen. He saw the pretty blond that always is always so quiet around him. He smiled to himself a little and opened the door to the walk in refrigerator. His smile disappeared immediately.

Cody closed his eyes momentarily and sighed to himself. [color=00a651]"Audrianna? Is this all that is left? Out of everything?"[/color] He already knew the answer but asked anyway in hopes that there would be just a little more. So far there wasn't much if any luck outside the bunker. He was getting ready to kick people out and make them go look for food.

Audrianna was busy washing the dishes when Cody walked in. She gave him a quick glance and then as always, remained silent. When he spoke to her, she immediately looked up. [color=mediumpurple]"Y-yeah, that's about all we have. But with so few of us left, that should last us for at least another week. I can probably stretch it to a week and a half."[/color] She replied and then dutifully turned back to the dishes she was washing. The commander was a handsome man and she would have liked to watch at him a bit more but she doubted that he would appreciate being stared at.

Cody wondered why she was so quiet. He'd noticed the way she looked at him before. He had taken his time and mourned Samara and all of the other lives lost and he was starting to notice Audrianna more and more. There were other pretty girls in the bunker but there was something about her. Cody came over to Audrianna and said something a little odd.

[color=00a651]"So if this was before the asteroid and there were movies and restaurants and places to go and things to do and I asked you to go out to dinner with me would you have gone?"[/color] His slight blush was obvious but the look in his eyes said he was attracted to her and was serious. 

[color=00a651]"And please, call me Cody, Commander is my day job."[/color]

Audrianna blinked. She avoided looking at him. [color=mediumpurple]"Why would you even want to ask me out?"[/color] she mumbled. She always thought he like outgoing girls. Maybe Harley. Or maybe Andrea from... wait, she died the day the doors were opened, right? She cleared her throat awkwardly. [color=mediumpurple]"I know your name, Commander. Just didn't think it was appropriate to just call you that."[/color] That and the fact that he was 11 years older than her. She continued avoiding his gaze and washing the dishes. 

Cody was a little confused. [color=00a651]"Why wouldn't I want to ask you out? You are nice and pretty...ahh I see. You think I'm too old for you." [/color]Cody was a little irritated by this. [color=00a651]"Well, maybe I am. I'm sorry to have bothered you. I should be hunting now." [/color] Cody turned and walked out the door and headed for the weapons they had set out near the exit of the cafeteria. He grabbed a couple of guns and some ammo and walked out the door.

[color=mediumpurple]"Uhm...no...I...'[/color] Too late. Cody had already walked out. Audrianna hastily wiped her hands on her pants and ran after him. She caught him just as he was walking out the door. Taking a deep breath, she called out. [color=mediumpurple]"I would go out with you. It's just that I don't think I'm...[sub]pretty enough for you.[/sub]"[/color] Realizing how bold she was, her cheeks flushed pink. She averted her gaze, looked down, sighed and then turned to walk back to the kitchen.

Cody already a little frustrated grabbed her by the hand and tugged her after him a few feet away from the door. He turned her towards him and leaned her up against the wall gently. [color=00a651]"How could you think you aren't pretty enough for anyone?"[/color] Cody looked at the wall for a moment. [color=00a651]"Are other guys just blind and stupid because if they are you shouldn't give them the time of day and you certainly shouldn't be listening to them. I'm not other guys and you are more than pretty enough." [/color]Cody knew he was blushing a little again.

[color=00a651]"Are you okay?"[/color] He put one finger under her chin and lifted it to see her eyes. [color=00a651]"Audri, are you ok?"[/color]

Audrianna kept her eyes down as Cody spoke to her. She felt a little embarrassed at his words but at the same time excited that she was hearing it. She had always admired him from afar and while she hoped he would notice her, she didn't really think it was possible. Her cheeks flushed a darker shade of pink when he lifted her chin up. She blinked as she looked him in the eye. [color=mediumpurple]"I...uh... yeah..."[/color] she muttered.

Cody seemed to relax a little. He looked at her a little and he stared into her eyes for a few minutes before he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. [color=00a651]"Do you want to come hunting with me?"[/color]

The kiss completely took Audrianna by surprise and all she can really do was stand there and let him. [color=mediumpurple]"I-I'm n-not very good at combat..."[/color] she stammered, still flustered by the kiss.

[color=00a651]"You don't have to be. I want you to go with me to keep me company. Come on, dishes can wait. Please?" [/color]

Audrianna couldn't really say no to that. She glanced towards the bunker and figuring they wouldn't miss her too much, she meekly nodded.
