Blessed By Reedus | Prequel to Claimed By Reedus

|Chapter Two|

(At a Cafe, 9:00am)

"I'm not telling you my ideal man until you tell me your ideal woman" I said whilst laughing, I knew that his ideal woman was going someone else, someone blonde, skinny and beautiful and wasn't me. "Fine, she has to be kind-hearted, funny, able to put with my messiness.." He began to go on and on about some woman that wasn't me, I just tried to make it sound and look like I was paying attention even though I wanted to break down and cry. "That sounds nothing like me" he laughs as he grabs hold of my hand "It isn't meant to be, I love having you as a close friend of mine. Besides, you hate me making a mess at yours" His words pierced through me like I had been shot multiple times.

"Right, It's time to get with you to the set" I grab my cup and plate, putting them in a tidy pile unlike Norman's side of the table. He laughed before getting up and grabbing his leather jacket then leaving. I sighed after he left because I knew that there was nothing between us other than a long lasting friendship and that's how it was to stay. I walked outside the cafe to my car, where Norman was inside, with his feet up, changing the music stations. "This is my car! Feet down and stop messing up my radio!" He laughed before throwing me the keys, allowing me to start the car and make our way to the set of 'The Walking Dead'

(After arriving at the set, 9:50am)

"Hey Gemma!" Michael came over to me and hugged me. I smiled and hugged him back, "Hey Michael, long time no see!" he laughed as he let me go. "Yeah, it's been busy with all this filming for The Walking Dead" I smiled because I knew that all of them, all had a busy schedule with the filming they had to do for this TV show. I turned around to Norman and hugged him goodbye and told him, "I will pick you up later, if you want me to..Oh and Norman!" he turned around and looked at me with a unreadable expression, "Yeah?" I smirked before replying back with this one "Don't make a mess!" He laughed before walking away to finish filming, season two..I loved this show so much and I'm not just saying that because Norman is in it. I mean it!

(Back at home, 7:00pm)

I couldn't think straight that evening, I felt like I was missing something without having Norman here but I was relieved because there isn't a mess in the house but it made me smile, knowing that but I still felt empty as there was no goofball around to piss me off. I was lost in my tracks for 30 minutes that I didn't hear my phone buzzed;

'Normie; We will be wrapping up soon, you still willing to pick me up? It's fine if you don't want me to, I mean I have pissed you off a lot recently N x'

I smiled but I couldn't help but laugh at it because I knew he was right but I need him around with me at the moment, he is like my older brother that I never had (I'm a 25 year old British woman and Norman is a 29 year old American man). I throw my phone down on the couch, as I get up and head to the kitchen (I grabbed more for coming home, especially if the foodie is coming back) and look in the cupboards for something to snack on but I am distracted when my phone starts buzzing again but this time it's a call;

G: "Hello?"

N: "Did you see my text?"

G: "Yeah but I ignored it because I was feeling peckish..."

N: "You say that I was foodie, is it alright to be dropped off at yours?"

G: "You can but I'm feeling kinda tired"

N: "I'll let you sleep beautiful, see you in the morning!"
