For You // R.G.

Simplicity

I walked up to Carol, Daryl and Rick talking about something. Once they all saw me, they stopped talking which made me feel discluded. Rick welcomed me still, with pulling me into him with his arm and kissing my head. I didn't know if Daryl and Carol knew that we were back together or not but Carol was smiling at us when I looked at her,

"You guys are back together?" She asks

"We are." Rick says with a smile. Daryl chuckles,

"Like they were ever separated. The two still wanted to bang even when they weren't together." Daryl says in a skeptical way. Carol punches Daryl in the arm, Daryl rubs his arm.

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked them once the subject became old. I looked at Rick, waiting for an answer.

"We were discussing-" Rick was about to tell me but Daryl interuppted him.

"You sure she's okay with the whole thing?"

Rick looked at Daryl, they almost had a silent way of communicating. I looked back at Rick.

"Tell me."

Rick was having a slight conflict with himself, not knowing whether to tell me or not. I was starting to get mad.

"Guys, I've been in this group since the start. I'm not going to disagree or stop whatever you guys are planning."

They all looked at one another, Daryl threw his hand in the air, "Tell her then."

"We're planning to get our weapons back... Just in case something happens." Carol says. I looked at all of them, I laughed a little because it wasn't even a big deal.

"You guys thought I wouldn't be on board with this?" I asked, I was a little confused, I mean I've been with these people for years. Carol looked at daryl, he was chewing on a toothpick, he didn't say anything. Carol shook her head, dismissing the thought of me not being on board,

"We didn't want to take any chances. I know that Glenn and Maggie wouldn't approve." Carol says. It was true though, Glenn and Maggie were already fitting right into the community and they were welcomed with open arms.

"I'm with you guys. So what's the plan?" I asked. Rick shifts on his feet,

"Carol bakes and cooks for the community, the food is in the infirmary with the guns. She'll see if there's a way for us to sneak in later when no one's inside." Rick explains. I looked at Carol, she was dressed in a flowery blouse with light wash jeans. She looked innocent as could be. No one would raise any suspicion with her.

"It's a good plan, anything you want me to do?"

"You could round the women over to my house for a wine party. That way none of them will be able to sneak in on me while I'm in the infirmary." Carol says. I wasn't excited about spending my night with a bunch of housewives but if it helped them with the plan, I'd do it.

"Can you come with me?" I looked back at Rick and touched his arm, trying to add a little something to my request because I knew he wouldn't want to go willingly. He smirked and chuckled, amused

"Why do I need to come to a wine party?" He asks.

"Because... I don't think I can handle conversations about pasta makers for more than ten minutes."

He shakes his head, "who's going to watch Jamie and Judith? Carl probably wants to hang out with his friends tonight so I have to hang out at the house." Once he said that, I sighed, I didn't say anything more since he was right. He then rubbed my back in a comforting way,

"You can do it. I'll have dinner ready when you get back." Once he says that, Daryl and Carol left to go do their thing. Rick and I stayed there.

"Dinner?" I asked. I was surprised to hear him say that, I wasn't expecting dinner with him.
