We Can Sleep Now

Chapter 2

There is a sort of sex scene, again, I tried to keep it PG while trying to give those smut readers something...

The next day I wanted to tell the rest of the group that I could blend in, but Maggie was busy telling everyone we need to support Rick at the meeting tonight. Daryl told me him and Aaron were going to check out this place they found that seemed to have  semis full off food, but they'd be back later tonight. I was confused, I always thought Rick was the kind of guy that tried to hurt as few people as possible, but apparently that had changed.

I kept glancing at him across the room, where he stared at the same spot on the floor for a whole morning.

My stomach growled and I suddenly realized I didn't remember the last thing I had eaten, my adrenaline from last night wearing off, I notice just how hungry I really am.

"You should eat." Daryl muttered to me, leaning up against the wall so close our bodies touched. I just shrugged, but he gave me a signature scowl so I went to grab something inside the fridge.

As I pull out a yogurt tube I catch my reflection on a mirror hanging aimlessly in the corner of the room. My hair is sprawled about with twigs and leaves knotted into it. There's dirt smeared across my check along with a small stretch of blood.

"I'm a mess." I whisper to myself, suddenly very self conscious about myself.

"Yeah. A hot mess." Daryl breathed into to my ear. I shivered, my cheeks also turning a rosy pink. I shoved Daryl's chest away from my body and finished the yogurt tube. Unable to keep from smiling like a little girl. 

I headed up the stairs, ready for a nice shower, grabbing a towel before shutting the bathroom door behind me.

I caught a glimpse of Daryl in the hall speaking to Rick and I felt the sensation of wanting to call out for him to join me. But I kept my mouth shut and slid the door closed with a soft clink. I pulled my shirt over my head, undressing quickly. 

When the water first hits my skin goosebumps run across my body, before I am covered in a shiny layer of it. The door opens and I quickly turn, covering my self up as best I could with my hands. Thankful for the fuzzy glass door separating me from whoever intruded the bathroom.

"I'll be out in a second!" I call, trying to drop a hint that the person should leave.

"Sorry. Can't wait." Daryl says, taking off his shirt. I can't really see him from my side of the glass. But soon the door swung open and my lips were greeted with the firm, pleasurable kiss of Daryl's lips. He must have read my mind earlier.

He held one muscular arm to my jawline, rubbing tiny circles, while his other wrapped around my waist. The water trickled down our bodies as we continued to kiss. My fingers brushing his abs, trailing downward slowly. 

His hand slides underneath me and he hoist me up so my wet legs are wrapped around his waist. Kissing my neck, I am pushed onto the warm tiled shower wall, still hanging onto him. 

When we exit the shower, we're a bit exhausted, but also in a way rejuvenated. 

"Damn Greene." He says. Rubbing his jaw and licking his moist lips. I throw him a "glare" and he laughs, pulling me close. He grabs my shirt and slides it over my head as I hold my arms up, I giggle at the act. However I help him dress as well, buttoning up his plaid shirt. 

"There, all done." I say, running my hands across his shoulders and down his arms. I look up to see him just staring at me. 

"What? did I do it wrong?" I ask, my nose crinkling up as I take a step back to observe his shirt, he grabs my elbow and pulls me back into his arms.

"You're just so god damn beautiful Beth." he reply's shaking his head. I can feel my heart is just about ready to explode.
