Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 130

Rayne and Julian decided to call it early and head to bed. They had spent most of the day moving heavy furniture from the apartments in the small town and up to Ella’s unit.

After a quick shower, Rayne entered the bedroom and sat down on her bed. Although their beds were in close proximity, she felt that the distance was too great.

After waking up in Julian’s arms, she realized just how much she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.

Shaking her head she tried to snap out of her thoughts. "Get a grip of yourself. You shared a bed once with him and now you want to make it permanent", she mumbled.

She pulled out a night cream for her face while Julian was showering, waiting for him to finish.

Just as Julian entered the bedroom he frowned seeing the two twin beds. "Hey, let’s upgrade our room. These two beds take up too much space. One larger bed would be much better", he grinned.

Rayne laughed, happy that he felt the same way as she did. "Okay, let’s do as you suggested", she said, quickly jumping off her bed and storing everything in the room.

This time she pulled out the bedframe that they had built for him back at the bunker to spare them from having to put together a new one.

She also chose the same mattress he had chosen previously and quickly made the bed with fresh sheets and blankets.

The room felt bigger now with just one bed, but also more cozy. The added space also allowed her to place two nightstands, one on either side of the bed.

She felt a lot less shy about sharing the bed with Julian, looking forward to him playing with her hair as she fell asleep.

Julian was also ecstatic with this new progress they made. He did not expect her to comply with his request so easily, receiving a surprise.

They spent the night happily in each other’s embrace, sleeping peacefully until they heard the living room window shatter.

Rayne and Julian quickly jolted out of bed and leaned against the bedroom wall beside their door. Rayne took out two copies of the high-tech silver pistol and handed one of them to Julian.

On the other side of the wall, Tee couldn’t help but exclaim at the things he saw, "Wow, look! This place looks better than my apartment did before everything went to shit!".

"Shut up!", Rico hushed. They had finally decided to take action after being delayed day after day. Now he wanted to prevent the young couple from waking up, trying to get in, loot, and get out.

Little did he know that ’the young couple’ was wide awake, and listening to their every movement.

The whole group of men made it inside the apartment and spread to loot anything they could find.

As soon as Julian heard their movements he pushed open the bedroom door and pointed his gun. Rayne followed behind him doing the same.

"Drop everything and leave now and I’ll let you live", announced Julian. While he wasn’t happy with them breaking in, he didn’t want to kill if he didn’t have to.

Rico motioned to Tee with his eyes and Tee quickly dropped what he was holding and dropped to his knees, "Don’t shoot, I’m so sorry!", he wailed.

Julian frowned but slightly lowered his gun. In that moment Rico pulled out a metal crowbar he had behind his back and swung it right at Julian’s head.
