Blessed By Reedus | Prequel to Claimed By Reedus

|Chapter One|

*Past*

It started when we were in highschool, I was in a Drama lesson (I love acting by the way) when the teacher of my class stops us from working, to announce that we have a new student joining our class. "Everyone meet Norman, he will joining our lessons from now. Be nice to him please" Ms. Robinson announced, I turned my gaze back to him, who was staring at me when I turned to look at him, I had a funny feeling that we were going to get along very well and become the best of friends (Which happened and still are years down the line) for years down the line.

He had to go with someone, who needed people or someone to work with, I wasn't letting him go with someone else because I wanted him to be with me from when he entered the classroom. "Ms. Robinson, can Norman join us please?" I smiled after asking her this because I want him to join our group or even me, Ms. Robinson smiled sweetly before replying to my question "That should fine, Norman go over and join Gemma please" I smiled as he nodded and headed over to us.

"You're Gemma?" He asked when the others were looking away, with being too busy talking to the group behind them. I nodded shyly, which is weird because I wanted him to join to our group, maybe my shy trait is kicking in because he is actually near me now. Also the fact that he is staring into my soul with these breath-taking pure, icy blue eyes.

*Present*

Me and Norman were just sitting on the couch, cross-legged, talking about the old days where we used to act like total idiots whilst we were eating icecream (This usually ends up messy, when Norman is around) I decided to ask him about the time I told my family about being friends with him "Remember when I told you about my family?" Norman laughed as he took another mouthful of the ice cream that we were eating. Nearly spilling it on my couch but he didn't because I was watching him very carefully.

"Yeah, they didn't believe you when you told them that you were friends with me" He finally answered because it's too much work to answer whilst eating icecream. I laughed, which made me spill some icecream on my clothes and the couch (I told you this ends up messy) "This is your fault, I never have a clean house when you're around!" I hit him gently before getting off the couch and heading into the kitchen to retrieve a towel to clean it off my clothes for a starter and then the couch. Norman begins to laugh, I sigh before turning to him asking "Reedus why are you laughing?" I only seem to call him Reedus when I'm pissed at him.

"You..I mean don't get me wrong, I would hate if you done the same to my clothes and couch" Did this guy really just say that? - Ergh! He knew I was pissed off with what he said as I threw a pillow at him and walked away from him and back into the kitchen. "Gemma, please don't be mad at me..I'm sorry baby" Norman was creeping his way around the corner when I heard him say that, this made me smirk because no matter what happens between us, we have always been friends and we never stay mad at each other for long.

"You know I can never be mad at you for too long Norm" I smiled at him before walking over to him and giving him a hug. Damn! I love this guy, we're friends and everything but I want be more than that with him because, if any other woman gets with him..I don't think I will be able to contain myself if he gets hurt by her. Norman said something back, making me snap out of my thoughts, "15 years of being friends and we act like we're siblings or married" I had to laugh at his comment because I knew he was right but I also wanted it to be true (The married part).

(Evening, 5:45pm)

I was in my room doing something on my iMac when Andrew bursts into my room. I looked up at him to see him looking nervous..what is going on down there? "What's up? Don't tell it's Norman messing around again?" I asked, knowing probably what the answer was going to be. Andrew nodded and then smiled "Yeah, I did tell him that you wouldn't be happy if you saw the mess he has made" I sighed before locking my computer and walking downstairs with him.

"He is going to get his ass kicked, I would never do this at his house" I heard Andrew laugh, which I turned around and smiled at him. When we get down stairs there's a mess! I just want to scream right now! Norman and Steven (Steven and Andrew are his friends, they work together by the way) running around throwing TOMATOES at each other! I could strangle this man right now! ERGH! Norman threw a tomato at Steven but he dodged it, which this nearly hit me.

I moved out the way, letting it my white wall behind me. "NORMAN!! YOU ASSHOLE!!" I had to shout because I couldn't hold my anger in anymore! Steven stopped to look at me, he looked down feeling bad but it wasn't him, I was pissed at.."Gemma, I'm so sorry! It was Norman's fault and his idea" Steven looked down again and then walked out the way to reveal Norman. "Steven, I'm not mad at you! Norman is the asshole, I'm mad at!" As I said the ending, I gave Norman a dirty look. I hugged Steven and Andrew before they left, leaving me with the mess Norman had made and him, himself.

I went into the kitchen and got out a bucket, filling it up with soapy water. Before, leaving the kitchen I grabbed a sponge, taking it back into the living to Norman. "Better start scrubbing man!" I saw him smirk like I was playing around, I stuck my middle finger up at him and went back up stairs but as I went upstairs, I felt something wet hit my butt. I turn around to see Norman laughing quietly (He fails so badly at being quiet) I stick my tongue out at him and stomp upstairs to my room to continue working on something.

(In the morning, 7:00am)

I wake up, yawning and rubbing my eyes before getting up, tidying my bed and then heading to the bathroom to grab a shower before starting my day. Once I finished, I went downstairs as I braided my hair into a fishtail..I notice that Norman did clean the mess up and that it tired him out so much that he fell asleep in the corner of the room with the sponge in his hand still. I have to giggle at this one, I grab my phone from back pocket and taking a photo for Instagram;

'Asked to clear up his mess & then falls asleep, making a new friend! You're welcome Norm! :* <3 XD @bigbaldhead @andrewlincoln @StevenYeun @MichaelRooker'

I laugh again as I press the send button. I can't wait for the others to see this! I love Norm so much but Karma is a bitch when you piss me off. I leave him be as I head to the kitchen to make something for Breakfast, I look in all the cupboards to find something suitable to eat but foodie in the other room has ate all the things I need and that I now need to go and grab some more food. I sigh as I close the cupboard doors and head back into the other room. "Damn! Gem-" I giggled as I realize that he still has the sponge in his hand.

"Good morning to you too Normie!" he smiles awkwardly at me before throwing the sponge at me. "NORMAN!" I shriek as he stands there laughing "Sorry, I thought your ass needed to get wet again" Norman smirked walking away towards the stairs "Oh no you don't!" I run after him chasing him with the sponge. As we get to the spare room, that he is staying in at the moment, I pin him to the floor and sit on top of him and rub the sponge in his face. "Norman, you should know not to mess with me! Remember you have to be at the set by 10:00, so get ready and I will take you out for breakfast"

I go to get off him when he sits up straight and grabs hold of my arm again, which this makes me sit back on his lap this time around. "What would I do without you Gezabel?" I smile whilst blushing, I feel shy all of a sudden (He is the only that calls me that around here. Other than my aunty but that's in the UK) "I don't know, my Normie!" I hug him tight before kissing his cheek. I wish I could kiss his lips though but best friends don't do that..Or do they?
