Team Family (Richonne)

Ch 26: The quiet

Rick's P.O.V

It's 1:04 in the morning, and I can't rest. And as Michonne slept by me, so serene and divine, I realized that I have so much to talk with her about.. In any case, I just couldn't find the words. I have a trillion thoughts, however, just a billion mind cells to process them.

Staring at the wall, I could hear Michonne, Carl's and Jaden's voices, letting me know that we're okay. Some of the time I ended up conversing with myself, because  these thoughts harass me and anything hurts less than the quiet.

So things being  the way they are, what am I waiting for? I have so much to ask her, And not enough  time. so, why not begin now?

"Michonne!" I bugged,  tapping her arm continuously.

She didn't even flinch.

I ran my fingers down her neck, admiring her beautifully etched face from the gods, and kissed her shoulders.

She felt the shiver run her spine, I'm guessing, she told  me about the rush she generally got when I kissed her shoulders.

Her eyes popped open and they gazed me dead down.

She pushed me off of her and stared at me like I was insane.

"Rick It's 2 in the morning what do you want?" she furiously inquired.

"It's actually  1:08, and I wanna go on an adventure." I said, confidentially.

"An adventure?"

"Better believe it.. We're like kids in love so how about we go on adventure."

She chuckled and laid down, she supposes I'm joking, but I'm most certainly not.

I jumped up and snatched our jackets, tossing hers to her and putting mine on.

"Rick are you serious?" She exclaimed.

"As serious as I'll ever be." I grinned

I put on my boots and gave hers to her. Despite everything, she sat in bed, befuddled and astounded.

"Gone ahead babe."  I pacified.

She murmured and put on her coat and eventually her boots.

I pulled her off the bed and  into a spin, kissing her.

"Let's go,," I said, pulling her out the room.

"The kids?" she whispered

"We won't  be gone long."

She sighed which soon transformed into a blurred giggle, "where are we even going?"

I hung on tight to her hand as we quietly left the house, "you'll see." I grinned.

I brought Michonne to the small pond where we kept our fish to breed and what not.

I pulled her down on top of my lap and we sat there quietly for a while, watching the fish slither through the water and the stars shining bright.

Michonne was so beautiful, with the moonlight hitting her skin, it made her glow. She was  more gorgeous than anything I have ever seen. The way she pushed her shoulder outward and the way she held her chin up and smiled. Her intriguing  features.  made me double take.

I'm marrying  a model.

I wish that things were easier so I could give her the world, or atleast all that she ever needed. I care so much about her..

"What did you wanna talk about? She asked

"You."

She giggled and raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Can I get to know you, again, not holding back anything?" I asked

She sat and stared up at the stars and nodded, "ask away."
She whispered.
