terrible things (a Daryl Dixon love story) [Daryl Dixon fan-fic]

Chapter 7

THIS IS DARYL’S POV

I woke up with a headache, not a terrible one but it was still there and noticeable, I felt movement next to me and my eyes shot open, I saw my arm around a girl’s waist and not just any girl’s waist, it was Katie! Shit! Did we have sex? No clothes are still on… phew! If we had sex I wanted to remember it not be trashed out of my head. I propped my head up on my hand and watched her sleep, which was only for five minutes. She stirred and I put my head on my pillow and pretended to sleep. She unwrapped my arm from around her and her sudden absence made me “wake up”.

“Oh, Morning Daryl. Did I wake you up?” she frowned a bit.

“hmm… no. Just ain’t tired.”

“oh good… well I’m going to make breakfast. You have any requests?”

Yea, you for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all the between. “No. make whatever ye want.”

“Okay. Don’t be too long it should be ready soon”

I looked at her and I swear I saw a purple mark but she turned around before I could look properly. Must have imagined it.

I got up, showered and got dressed went downstairs to see her dishing up some type of porridge? I don’t like porridge, well I normally have brown coloured porridge so maybe this one will be nice. She put three bowls down and went back to the kitchen, “Hey Dare. Please go get your brother, I’ll get you two some tablets for those hangovers. Yes I know so don’t start your shit” She ran up the stairs and I trudged to Merle’s room. “Merle, food now!”

“I’m coming man, no need to shout.”

“Hurry up before she skins us alive!”

“ok!”

The door opened and we walked to the table to see Kate waiting for us. I’m not so sure if she was waiting for us because she seemed “Not there, in another world”.

“Katie?” I said.

“hmm? Oh it’s you two. Okay eat up and then take these tablets she gave me 2 different tablets and gave Merle the same but 4 of each tablet where I only got two, I tried not to laugh because it was apparently that obvious that he was hungover.

We all finished our breakfast and it was actually really nice, she called it Mealie meal, some south African dish there was a lot of sugar in it but it was delicious.

“So what are yer plans for today Princess?”

“Oh, nothing planned” she smiled, “thought I might stay in. what about you?”

“Merle and I are going te our hunting cabin. We’ll be there today and tomorrow. Want te come?”

“No ways. I’ll find something to do”

“alright, be careful, I’ll try not to be too long and get here soon, okay?”

“Daryl, take as long as you want, I’ll be fine. Won’t go out at night. Might go skate and I don’t know. Stuff”

“Okay”

Merle and I got ready for our hunting trip and we were ready to leave, Merle got into my blue truck and waited for me while I spoke to Kate.

“Daryl, quit worrying! I’ll be fine. I promise”

“okay, but just phone me if something goes wrong?”

“I will.”

“And I’ll phone ye every night te make sure yer okay.”

She chuckled or giggled, “Alright, Dare” she came forward and kissed me on my cheek and I froze in place while she did it. “Go, before Merle kills you”
