Breathe Princess (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Chapter Eighteen

I thank'd Glenn as he handed me a basket full of peaches. I bite into one enjoying the juicy taste. Daryl wasn't allowed out of his tent due to the fact that he's still hurting from yesterday's injury.

''You should give those to Daryl'' His voice was shaky as he handed a couple more peaches out.

I took them out of his hand giving him a concerned look ''You okay Glenn? You seem kind of off''

He immediately shook his head ''No, no. Everything is fine! why wouldnt it be? Right?'' He stuttered.

I gave him one last look before i decided to just leave it alone. Glenn for sure is the most nicest person ever but to be quite honest. He's going to crack in any second and just blurt it out.

I started to head off to the tent and Annora always being Annora. I attempted to juggle with the two peaches but im known from my clumsiness. I almost dropped them on the ground but i thankfully caught them.

I peaked over as i saw the most beautiful yet confusing sight in front of me.

Daryl's hair was swiped on his eyes, his blue eyes shown brightly as the sun had hit them. He had his shirt open (Not that im complaining). His arm looked so muscular as he poked holes to the tent with his arrow.

''If a bee came and stung me and swelled up my face, its all on you Dixon'' I joked making him squint his eyes as he looked at me and returned back to what he's doing.

I entered inside, peaches in hand. I sat down Indian style, patting my legs. I grabbed the pillow putting it on lap before he rested his head on it. He shifted a couple of times until he got comfortable.

''Eat those, so you can get your strength back'' I mumbled handing over those peaches, it wasn't much but it was something. He gladly took them and dug in.

We sat there in silence. Not awkward silence. Just comfortable silence. I ran my hand through his soft hair playing with it and he just stared at me smiling.

''What?'' I said my cheeks flushing red.

''Nothin''' He said closing his eyes shut.

I groaned resting my forehead on his, lacing our hands together ''But you said that the last time''

He just kept quite and gave me a small squeeze.

I sighed and closed my eyes shut too thinking about how I honestly don't know what the hell i'm going right now. I didn't know what was dawning me to him. I mean i do have Jacob but i won't say have, i would say had. But still, me and Jacob had a promise that we would forever and ever be together no matter what. And promises can't be broken.

I jumped up as someone opened the tent. Andrea stepped in making me roll my eyes in annoyance. Talk about privacy.

''Hey'' She said giving me a fake smile.

Daryl opened his eyes and what surprised me the most is that he didn't pull nor move away. Which i was expecting.

''This is not that great but'' She sighed handing over a book to Daryl.
He flipped the pages of the book raising his eyebrows ''What no pictures?''

''I feel like shit'' She said staring directly into his eyes.

''You and me both'' He mumbled shifting, adjusting his pillow. I drew circles on his arms as i felt his wave of jealousy that just slapped me right across my face.

''I don't expect you to forgive me but if there's anything that i could do'' I frowned as she said that taking it the wrong idea.

Daryl cuts her off ''You were trying to protect the group, we're good''
She got up giving him one last time smile before heading out.
