Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

989  Oh no, you don't...

With that said, it only took a moment before Dr. Lopez realized that her breath was a little off, so she jumped up and rushed back to the bathroom to take care of it. She never looked so embarrassed when she stepped back and gave us this signal that she'd need a few minutes but Mimi took it upon herself to excuse herself so she'd be able to ask for Dr. Lopez's immediate leave to the medical director.

"D-Don't leave without me, o-okay?!"

I waved her off, "Of course, we won't… unless~"

"W-What do you mean?! I-I'll just give her a call—"

Kaley sent an elbow to my side as she turned to Mimi, "Don't worry about him, he's just messing with you. Go! We'll wait for you, definitely!"

In any case, Dr. Lopez did finish up quickly before she started to pack some things in her bag, but she turned to us a little weirdly when she was about to reach for her drawer. Kaley and I instantly knew why she looked suspicious so we just pretended to look away to save her a bit of embarrassment.

'She wasn't as embarrassed that other time though…'

But yeah, she had finished packing her items as Mimi came in with several forms for her to sign and she just squiggled them on before beckoning us to the door.

It's just that a lot of people were right outside to give her condolences and some words to ease her pain, but she just forced out a bitter smile before asking for some space. Everyone definitely understood what that meant so they gave her just that.

We then used the exit to the emergency bay because we left Quinn and Tatiana over there, but the two weren't too happy from the looks they were getting because Quinn was a foot or a couple of feet taller than everybody while Tatiana's left arm covered with a tattoo sleeve was displayed in the open.

They were so used to getting compliments from their outward appearance but receiving the exact opposite was completely off base for them.

Quinn glared at me when she saw me come out with Kaley and the rest, "Took you guys long enough! I kinda know the pipsqueak but isn't she the doctor earlier?"

Tatiana followed right as Mimi was about to react from getting called a pipsqueak:

"Is she coming with us?"

I nodded, "Yeah, she's Lopez's wife— ex-wife now, I guess. She's Dr. Sandara Lo—"

Dr. Lopez suddenly cut me off, "It's Nichols, now…"

"Hmm?"

She glanced at me briefly before she repeated herself, "It's Sandara Nichols now… I-I don't wanna associate myself with that name anymore… Chloe will be happy too but it's gonna be a pain in the registrar's office… Gotta wait a bit but I'll go by my maiden's name unofficially…"

Quinn chuckled as she loomed over her, "You adjusted that fast, huh? You were about to cry earlier—"

Dr. "Nichols" stood her ground, "I did cry, briefly. He was my husband after all but now he's not. That's about it."

"Oh? Then we'll get along just fine~ Where are headed now? Are we going to the lake or—"

I waved her off, "Just hop in. We'll pick up Chloe on the way but I can drop you off the lake if you wanna have a swim—"

"Fuck that, you fucks have something planned and I'm not gonna miss the world for it!"

Kaley rolled her eyes as she got in my Raptor, "It's not what you think, Quinn. We'll be having fun but not in the way you think…"

"We can do both, right? Right? I mean, I'll just join if we're about to—"

Everyone who already got in shouted at her, "Get in, Quinn! We don't have all day!"

"Jeez~ I thought you guys wanted to talk all day?! Isn't that what we're doing?!"

"GET IN!"

With that said, as we drove to the building where Chloe was attending her class, I didn't bother trying to contact her using the radio I gave her, but instead, Dr. Nichols made her way to the specific classroom to talk to the teacher.

Funnily enough, Chloe thought she was in trouble but she never looked so happy when she saw me and Kaley waving at her from behind her mom. However, she got a little scared when her teacher started crying before hugging her mom, and to skip a few details, we made our way to their house that was a little bigger than the one that was given to me.

It had a couple of cars that belonged to each of them but both definitely looked unused for quite some time, but as soon as we parked at the available spot, Dr. Nichols fished out the keys from her bag and opened the door for us.

"Come in~ Come in~ It's a little messy— Woah! Who cleaned this place?"

Chloe rolled her eyes, "I did! Always did!"

"I-I thought you were living by the lake?"

"I am when you're not home… b-but this is my home too…"

"Aww… I love you, Chloe, thanks for doing this."

"D-Don't make it like it's a huge thing, alright? I-It's pretty normal for me to take care of you too…"

With that said, it didn't take long before Tatiana raided their fridge while Quinn slumped down on the sofa. Kaley and I wanted to smack each of them but in case they took it other than a form of punishment, we just decided against it. But yeah, as Chloe was about to join us after changing into a more comfy attire, Dr. Nichols took it upon herself to tell her the news privately.

They just locked the door to one of their rooms as each of us shared a glance, but since it was already almost lunchtime, I decided to prepare some food for us and keep Tatiana away from eating all of the important ingredients.

The General did say that I should be back in a couple or so hours but I doubt the discussion he'll have with his son would be that short. As unfortunate as it may be, we could be here for a day or two at the maximum, but since I would be bringing Mimi and my other friends with me and Ron and Allyssa wouldn't come, I guess replacing them with two other people wouldn't hurt as much.

'A great doctor and a black sheep in this university… they'll have a better time at home if I manage to convince them… Question is how…'

In any case, it didn't take long before I heard someone crying from the room where Chloe and Mrs. Sandara were, but Kaley just decided to increase the volume of the show they were watching to give them a bit of privacy by doing just that. Even in the comfort of their own homes, crying could be a little difficult if they had nosy neighbors or guests so a little bit of random chatter from the television could drown out or cloud the noises a bit.

But yeah, the first one to come out of their room was Chloe whose eyes were a little red but they shone brightly with her pearly teeth when she met eyes with me and discovered I cooked them some lunch.

"W-What?! You can cook? Waaah~ It's smells so fucking good~ W-What do you call it?!"

"I dunno, it's just a stir-fry of vegetables with thinly sliced beef strips and a light vegetable soup. I also have a cinnamon roll cooking by the oven and it'll pair well with the ice cream you have in your freezer—"

"Wow~!!! You did all that?! A-Are they almost done?!"

"U-Umm… Give me around 30 minutes…"

"Thirty minutes?! What—"

Then Dr. Nichols cut in, "You ungrateful brat, he's already cooking for us and—" then she turned to me, "D-Do you need any help?"

"Y-Yeah… This stove here sticks a bit and it doesn't turn on all the way?"

"Ah… Here's what you do…"

At this point, Mrs. Sandara decided to lend me a hand while Chloe and Tatiana were just leering at us to quickly finish the food but god fucking dammit they were so fucking annoying. I can't fucking break the laws of physics to somehow make the food cook quicker and turning the burners and the oven to max will just fucking burn them. But yeah, a piece of cheese distracted them for a short bit, so the two of us were given a bit of peace and quiet when they joined the others.

However, I caught Dr. Nichols staring at me like she was in a daze before catching herself doing the same thing and abruptly looking away.

"Dr. Lo— I mean, Dr. Nichols?"

"Y-Yeah?" She replied without looking at me.

"Were you—"

She cut in as she finally looked at me with a flushed expression, "C-Can you just call me Mrs. Sandy or just S-Sandy while we're here?"

"S-Sure… Mrs. Sandy…"

She briefly smiled as she looked away, "I don't wanna impose on you but getting called doctor all the time makes me feel old…"

"Really? To me, it just sounds professional and dignified. And again, you're not that old and you don't even look your age…"

"T-Thanks for the compliment but I dunno about dignified…" she trailed as she returned her gaze back to me, "You know… I… I… F-Forget about it…"

"Is there something wrong? You can tell me anything?"

"R-Really?"

"Of course—"

Then she suddenly leaned in to me while staring directly into my eyes, "Then was the last time I 'felt' real or not? Was that because of me?"

"What—"

Then she glanced momentarily at everyone and after confirming they were busy watching the show, she put her hand directly onto my crotch before she watched my reaction.

'Fuck…'

At this point, she leaned even more to my side as she pressed her huge chest onto me and showed me her deep cleavage while massaging the area around my crotch, and the moment she felt a twitch as I gradually got harder, she tried to hide her smirk but she suddenly let go of me as she tried to do the dishes.
