Sleeping With The Enemy - Simon's POV (TWD Simon fanfic)

Nostalgic

Once I had showered, I headed to Negan's office. 

I knocked on Negan's office door and he called for me to come in.

"Simon" Negan greeted,

"Has Y/N been up yet?" I asked

"Not yet" he replied "But I think we both know she's going to choose to be a Saviour"

I nodded and then he continued to give me orders for the rest of the day.

"Send Dwight to get Y/N will you?" he asked as I was about to leave, "Let's find out her decision sooner rather than later" I nodded and called him on the radio after I left Negan's office. 

As I rounded the corner, Sherrie was heading towards his office. I rolled my eyes at her presence. 

"Hi Simon" she purred, strutting over and placing a hand on my chest "I've missed you"

"Are you crazy" I hissed, clutching her wrist and shoving her off me "His office is right there damn it"

"Doesn't that just make it more exciting?" she grinned, winking at me, I ran a hand over my face and shook my head, "You can punish me later Daddy" she whispered, rubbing herself against me as she walked past. 

I don't know what it was, but I suddenly could not stand her touching me. Probably because I felt nothing when she touched me now that I had felt everything at Y/N's touch.

The morning passed in a blur, I was pre-occupied by my encounter with Y/N earlier. I could still feel her lips against mine. I hadn't heard from Negan yet and I was anxious for her decision. I knew she was joking when she said she was going to choose to be his wife, but until that was confirmed, I was going to sweat.

I patrolled The Sanctuary for the rest of the afternoon. Still no word from Negan, although I was sure he'd seen Y/N by now. As I walked the corridors, I was subconsciously searching for her, scanning the crowds for a glimpse of her. That girl was making me crazy, I couldn't remember the last time I'd been strung out like this. Hell! I wasn't sure I ever had been.

I headed outside for some fresh air, the feel of the sun on my face was comforting. I squinted as I looked across the courtyard. 

There she was, the sunlight dancing around her. She laughed and the sound travelled over to me, it was the sweetest sound I had ever heard.

Wait who was he laughing at!! 

Squinted again.....you have got to be kidding me!

They were sat on a bench together, close, really damn close!

"DWIGHT!" I yelled his name across the yard causing them both to jump and turn to see me staring right at them. He got up and walked towards me. Shit! I didn't actually want to speak to him. 

"Simon" Dwight greeted,

"Negan was looking for you, I don't he will be impressed that you were slacking off" I lied

"I wasn't slacking off" he replied defensively, "I sat down for a second to comfort a girl who is going through exactly what I first went through when I was trapped here"

"Oh I'm sure you'd like to comfort her" I hissed, jealousy radiating off me. 

"Grow up Simon" he scoffed "She just needed a friend" 

"I would strongly advise you to stay away from her" I snapped "Negan has his eye on her and you of all people know how he gets when someone touches something he considers his" He looked at the floor and skuttled off. It was cruel of me to bring up the reason for his scarred face, but I was desperate.

Finally Negan called me up to his office.

I knocked and opened the door. 

"Simon" Negan greeted asked,

"You asked for me" I told him

"Yeah I spoke to the girl" he continued

"And?" I asked "What was her decision?" 

"She's going to be a Saviour" he told me "I need you to train her up ready for a run at the end of the week" 

"I will start her training tomorrow" I replied

"It's a damn shame though" he sighed "She really would make a damn good wife, I mean, Si, have you seen her figure"

"It's pretty hard to miss" I chuckled, but inside I hated the fact he had looked at her that way. 

"And he Sass just makes my balls ache" he groaned "That one is going to be trouble"

"I'm sure we can handle her" I reassured him

"Oh I'd sure like to" he laughed, taking off his reading glasses and rubbing his eyes. 

"Are you coming down for dinner?" I asked, needing to change the subject before he noticed how wound up I was getting. 

"Are you asking me out" he teased, I rolled my eyes and headed for his door, "See you down there" I called as I left the room.

When I got to the canteen, I could see her sat at a table in the middle of the room with another Saviour, Heather. Every chance I got during my meal to glance across at her I took, the way she seemed to be enjoying the food warmed my heart and made me like her even more. I loved a girl who knew how to eat. It was times like this I missed restaurants and grills. How I would have loved to have taken her on a proper date. But I suppose if the world hadn't gone to shit, our paths probably would have never crossed. She tried to catch my eye a few time but I ignored her, I was still unsure of what was going on with her and Dwight this afternoon, I wanted her to sweat, to feel some of the uncertainty that I was feeling due to her actions.

During dessert though I noticed her lick her spoon in a way that was far more suggestive than eating should be. That's when I realised she was making eye contact with Negan. My pulse began to race. It could have been to wind up Sherrie who was hanging off his arm, but she didn't even know Sherrie, so what would she be hoping to achieve. What the hell was she playing at! First Dwight and now Negan. After what had happened between us this morning, I just couldn't understand her.
