"You a cop again?" You hear Daryl say from the front porch as you prepare yourself to leave for the day. Everyone had only been in Alexandria a few days, just long enough to get job assignments. As a former nurse, you were given a job working with the doctors in the infirmary. You hear Rick say he was giving it a try as you move closer to the open door. 

"Well hello there Sheriff, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" You tease as both men glance towards you. You see Daryl sitting in the corner of the porch, sharpening his knife while Rick stands in the front yard, adjusting the jacket of his new constable uniform.

"You behave yourself, Y/N. I'd hate to have to arrest a pretty girl like you," Rick says playfully, his eyes running over you as you walk down the steps towards him. You hear Daryl let out a snort and shake his head slightly at your interaction.

"Mmmm, with threats like that you aren't exactly makin' me wanna be good," You say after you walk past him, turning around and winking at him before continuing down the street, swaying your hips from side to side.

This was the pattern with you and Rick, ever since you joined the group on the journey towards Terminus. You would throw flirty remarks and innuendos each other's way, but that was as far as it went. And it was incredibly frustrating; you desperately wanted him to just grab you during one of your exchanges and kiss the daylights out of you. But needless to say, that never happened.

Walking into the infirmary, you see Maggie talking to Denise, the second doctor in Alexandria.

"Morning, Maggie." You greet as you walk towards her.

"Morning, Y/N. They got you working in here?" You nod in response to her question

"Did you see Rick this morning?" She teased, looking at you, eyebrows raised. Everyone in the group had witnessed your exchanges, but Maggie was the only one you talked about it with. She was your closest friend in the group, almost like a sister to you.

"Did you?! That uniform, oh my god! I would have ripped it off him right there, but Daryl was watching us. I thought that might have been a bit awkward." She giggles at your reaction and you share a moment of laughter.

"I just wish something would happen between us, you know? It's just all this build up with no payoff. A girl's got needs, ya know?" She nodded in understanding; you both had discussed your frustration with Rick lack of action towards you.

"I already told you what you need to do, Y/N." You nod in response and she walks past you, putting her hand on your shoulder in sympathy before leaving you alone to tend to your duties in the infirmary.

Maggie had told you on numerous occasions that the best way to spur a man into action was to make him jealous. You thought her idea might work, but you were just a bit too shy to go for it.

Working through the next few hours, you decide to take a break for lunch. Heading back to the house, you run into Rick and Michonne as they walk through the street, becoming familiar with the setting. You stop and talk to them both before you hear Maggie call out to Michonne. She smiles at you, leaving you and Rick alone.
