Underneath The Cover Of Darkness

Getting to the truth

            The next day you were allowed to get up and slowly walk around with the help of some crutches . " How dose it feel ?" Denise  asked as you took you first step ."Sore and a little bit painful  but as long as I don't have to run or walk anywhere fast I think  I will be fine " you replied.  you made your way outside wanting to feel the sun  on your face after being stuck  inside for so long. You wanted to take a little walk around and try to get used to walking on these things. You begin to walk you stop in front of Rick house where Carl  was sitting on the grass with Judith. " hey guys "  you waved "hey Megan Carl said "how you feeling " Much better that I am up and about Where you dad ?" you asked " him and Daryl are checking the food supply " he said  you nodded and started towards that way again. The garage door was open where they kept the food and  the closer you got you saw Rick and Daryl and Hershel Maggie and Glenn with the Thomas the guy in charge of keeping track of the food. Maggie was the first to spot me .  "Megan your up  " she left Glenn side and walked over to you  . you gave her a smile. "Cant keep me down to long " you said " how are you feeling "Rick asked "good just trying get a little exercise after laying down so long " you told him you felt someone watching you and your gaze slid over to Daryl his gaze lifted to meet yours and he gave you a nodded you returned it. "Thomas came up to you grinning "Megan I glad to see you are up and about I was wanting to stop by and see you yesterday but  I figure I let you rest." he said. you smiled  "Thanks " what are we talking about " you asked  "trying to decided  when we need to go on  our next food run "Glenn replied Those can take days because we have to out father and father " he explained.  you nodded looking around at what was on the shelves thinking.. " have you guys hit that  big store just south of here..it about  a couple hours away.. it was where I was coming from when Daryl found me " you suggested. " I don't think we have it wouldn't hurt to try  in a day or so "Rick said.  you nodded shifted and wincing a little .."Do you want to sit down" you can come inside " Thomas offered " he reached out for your arm But Daryl step forward " I will help her get settled... tell me when you want to leave " he sad to Rick  right before he bent down  and picked you up  .. you managed not to scream you automatically wrap your arms around his neck. you looked over his shoulder as he walked away the other were smiling and trying not laugh ..well except Thomas he look sort of put out. Maggie was holding your crutches.

          "Daryl what are you doing ..this is not necessary  " you said  He didn't say anything as he continued to walked back to your place  he was so close.. your heart started racing hard in your chest.. he walked up your stairs and into  the house and  sat you down on your the couch.." would please tell me what is the problem " you asked.. he stood there staring at you like he was in a war with himself..  you reached out and grab his hand pulling him down next to you " What was last night about .. what was that just a few minutes about." Can you just talk to me " please  you asked. He didn't answer but he did slid forward grabbing you just like he did the night before  but instead of  pausing and pulling away  his  mouth crashed against yours.  it wasn't a nice smooth kiss either it was a heated rough that spoke to the way he was feeling.. and it made you feel needed .. wanted.. you heard him groan as you push to deepen the kiss trying your best to crawl onto his lap but your injured leg told you other wise . "Crap" you said "Well that what you get for get ahead of yourself" he joked shifting  you in a more comfortable position. but still keeping  his arms around you " shut up " you said "So are  you going out on the food fun" you asked " yeah it usual me Rick Glenn and Maggie " he said " how long you asked  he shrugged "Depending " he said but didn't say anything more but you knew what he meant ..if they ran into trouble." Well if it wasn't for my leg I would go " you said he glared at you ..What?  you asked pulling away slightly.. "Ready to put yourself back into danger again.  " he said stiffen  up  you sigh and relax  you scooted closer to him " No but I want to be useful.."  you said  He stared at  you for a moment.. then he suddenly grinned "what "  you asked  he leaned forward using his arms that was behind you to steady you and his mouth  was on yours again.  you didn't wait to respond it was to heated not to he groan  pulling  you closer and you forgot about what you guys were talking about . Suddenly  with careful movement  he had you on your back on the couch  he was over one knee in between your legs he broke the kiss. "You will be useful " he said .. "What ?" you  asked in a daze  he grinned " I said you will be useful.. well at least to me  when I get back..  we will figure the rest out later.. " he said.. that when it hit you and you were sure your face at least turn a couple shades of red. He just laughed and stood up "Where you going ?"  I going to get your crutches back from Maggie and pick you up some things so you don't have to get up a lot " he said he walked  out of the house and you sigh and try to figure out where in the world did you start falling for him

                   Daryl  came back with you crutches and some food for you  and to your surprise  spend the rest of the day with you. He told you that  they were leaving first thing in the morning. You doze off next to him on the couch only to wake up when he carried you to bed. "Stay  you said grabbing his hand " you need the rest " you said he looked down at you his face soften ..he nodded quickly losing his boots before he climbed into the bed next to you. you  snuggled next to you laying your head on his chest his arms going around you." I know it  silly  especially now a days.. but can you promise me you will be careful and come back " you said  " I promise.. and I keep my promise " he said  you looked up at him smiling at him and leaning in to give a little kiss that quickly escalated. You pulled away first and he groan. " you need rest if your going out there tomorrow " you said  he mumble something but as you rolled on to your side he drag you closer and buried  his face in your hair. you smiled as you closed you eyes.  You guess had been right because it didn't take him long to fall asleep  his deep breaths on the back of your neck and the eventual  light snoring  proved you right that he need some rest. He did so much for everyone else he hardly rest or took care of himself.     Hopeful that  you would help with that now . Cause laying here in his arms  you knew you were falling hard and fast for him and you weren't sure if you wanted to stop it.
