Chapter Four: Search and Destroy
"Spencer?" I said.
Spencer scanned my face, and then Libitina's.
"Oh...hey guys..." He said.
Libitina placed her hand on top of mine and I looked over at her. She looked up at me.
"W-Who is this man?" Libitina asked.
"Spencer was one of the people who invaded camp Sabal. He's also the reason that I went there to begin with."
"So he's the reason that we...met?" She asked.
"Sure is."
I pointed over at Spencer.
"Libitina, meet Spencer. Spencer, this is Libitina." I said.
"Isn't Libitina the girl who was in a coma for a couple months?" Spencer asked.
"C-couple months?" Libitina said shocked.
I forgot that Libitina didn't know how long she was out for.
"You've been in a coma for about 4 months. Don't worry though, I came to see you every opportunity I got." I said.
"W-What's the date today?" Libitina asked.
"February 14th, 2020." Spencer said.
Libitina looked surprised at Spencer's words. She gripped my hand a little tighter.
"Spencer, are you alright?" I asked.
Spencer looked down at the table.
"Cosgrove...is gone..." He said softly.
"Who was Cosgrove, Harmon?" Libitina asked.
"Spencer's best friend..." I said.
Spencer started to stand up and looked down at me and Libitina.
"I apologise sincerely, but I must leave." He said.
"O-Okay...take care of yourself, Spencer." I said.
Spencer walked off without saying anything.
"Wait!" Libitina said.
Spencer looked over his shoulder to look at Libitina.
"T-Thank you..." She said.
That seemed to make Spencer smile a little, however he still walked away sluggishly.
"He'll be alright..." I said softly to Libitina.
"I-I hope so..." Libitina said back.
Me and Libitina started to eat our lunches. I got her a bag of chips with a sandwich cut in half.
I watched as she slowly raised a chip in front of her face.
"W-What are these?" She asked.
"They're chips. Try one, they're pretty good."
Libitina took a small nibble of the chip and her eyes opened really wide. She shoved the entire chip into her mouth and started to chomp on it.
That's when I really noticed it. Libitina had two sets of fangs in her mouth.
"You might want to slow down. I don't want you to choke again." I said as Libitina grabbed a handful of chips.
Libitina paused and her face turned red. She set the chips down on her tray and faced me.
"Hehe...sorry...just a little hungry." She said.
Yeah, it's like she hadn't eaten for months...oh wait.
Libitina slowed down and slowly ate her chips. I opened my bag and started to eat mine.
I noticed Libitina was staring intently at me as I ate my chips. I saw that all of hers were gone.
"You want to try one of these?" I asked.
"C-Can I?"
"Sure thing."
Hehe, time to mess with Libitina. I grabbed one of my chips and held it in front of Libitina's face.
"Open wiiiide." I said.
Libitina was flustered a little bit, but then opened her mouth. I placed the chip in her mouth and she closed it.
She started to chew on it and I patted her head. She giggled a little bit with her mouth closed.
"You're so cute, Libitina." I said.
Libitina blushed a little but then grabbed her sandwich.
"Nom."
Libitina made a cute noise as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
"Sho...um...what are chu wearwing." Libitina said while she chewed her sandwich.
I looked down at what I was wearing, and realized how much of a slob I looked like.
I was still wearing my black dress pants, however my jacket was missing, exposing my white undershirt. I reaked of alcohol with stains on my white shirt.
I was in a hurry to get to the hospital this morning, so I didn't have enough time to get fully dressed.
"S***." I said.
"Harmon!"
"What?"
"T-That was a curse!"
"S-Sorry..."
Libitina grabbed my ear and pulled down on it. It kinda hurt...
"Whenever I would visit you, I'd wear a suit and tie, just in case you woke up."
"Why would you do that?"
"So you could see me at my best and...not like this..." I said as I looked down at what I was wearing.
"Harmon..."
Libitina grabbed both of my wrists as she looked deeply into my eyes.
"I don't care...w-what you look like. I will still...l-love you no matter what. You're my hero...and I couldn't live without you. T-Thank you for waiting for me."
My heart was racing. It was both cute and romantic how Libitina struggled to express her love.
"I love you too, Libitina." I said.
I wrapped my arms around Libitina and she gave me a hug back. I think she took more of my chips while her arms were behind my back.
I let go of her and noticed she was chewing something.
Yep, she took my chips.
Me and Libitina finished our lunches and I ate what chips were left after Libitina took "her portion."
"S-So do we get...to um...go back to your house?" Libitina asked shyly.
"Yeah...um Libitina?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't have the nicest house."
"Harmon...I don't care what kind of house you have or how wealthy you are...as long as I'm with you, everything is perfect."
I blushed a little bit as me and Libitina went into the parking garage. Down a couple rows I saw a beautiful black 1996 BMW with chromed rims.
I walked around to the passenger side door and opened it for Libitina. She looked confused.
"W-What is this...thing?" She asked.
"It's a car." I said.
"What's a car?"
"Um...I don't know how to explain it. It's a machine that gets us to different places." I said.
"Like a time machine?"
"No...not really."
Libitina got into the car but she didn't know how to sit in the chair.
I got in, and Libitina matched the way that I sat in my chair.
I turned on the engine and Libitina was surprised by it.
"W-Woah...it sounds like a monster..." She said.
"It's harmless." I said.
I pulled out of the parking space and out of the parking garage.
And made my way home.
