Broken ~{Book Two}~ Daryl Dixon ZA

Vanilla

"Check to see if she was followed" Negan told two of his men "I wasnt" she nervously replied " i came alone" she confessed, wrapping an arm around her shoulder Negan cooly replied "never be too careful, especially after today" "so you travelled all this way for 'i dont know'?" He asked her again opening the door to his chambers motioning her inside. Tina looked around to see if he had one of his women around, she was confused as to why she felt relieved he seemed alone, but why would she care?

"Had a fight with lover boy?" He teased pouring himself what looked like whiskey offering her a glass which she near on snatched from him and knocked back trying to hold back the shiver it sent through her body "not much of a drinker are you?" He asked smiling as he sipped the beverage "this stuff is vintage, its to be sipped with a cigar" he added mocking her as she flashed red. Tina played with the small tumbler in her hand, Negan offered her another drop but she declined "anyone looking for you" he asked taking another sip, shaking her head Tina felt herself break down, holding her head in her hands she reluctantly let tears fall, she felt like an emotional wreck and slightly embarrassed.

"Im not a marriage counsellor so the tears can stop" Negan remarked, it wasnt snappy and it wasnt jokingly but Tina felt best she compose herself. "Sorry, im not here for that" she whispered wiping her eyes with the sleeve of her jacket. "Im scared of what you will do to us" she admitted looking to Negan who stopped swirling the whiskey in his glass "me and Rick, we dont like eachother, its a clash of opinions" Negan replied brushing it off "I like you Tina, you may not think it but you have guts, spirit. I like that" he spoke flashing her a warm smile, she hadnt seen it before. "Never let anyone tell you to hold that spirit back, its what got you this far" he added offering her a cigarette which she took "Daryl got me here" she replied, Negan shook his head "you think that, but one man cant carry a person in this world anymore" he said. Maybe he had a point? Tina was thinking back to all the times before Alexandria and Daryl was there, it was him and not her no matter how Negan tried to flatter her. Or was she being hard on herself? Negan was confusing her, she wondered had she opened a can of worms being here.

"Tell me about Daryl, he strikes me as Vanilla" Negan asked breaking the silence while Tina pondered her life since the outbreak, she didnt understand his question and showed it on her face. "Vanilla...you know, missionary" he reiterated himself smirking. Tina couldnt believe the question "no he isnt" she snapped, now she was questioning their sex life, what was Negan doing to her, she thought.

"Vanilla is good, but sometimes i like to fuck doggy, or reverse cowgirl" Negan's famous profanity came back, Tina was flushing all shades of red, she really was feeling uncomfortable now. "Tell me Tina, how many guys you been with? Gorgeous girl like you must of had them lining up!" He complimented her, sort of, Tina blew smoke from her mouth and held up one finger, Negan seemed shocked, so shocked he choked slightly on his cigarette "one?! Are you fucking serious?" He teased her, realising she was feeling embarrassed at his comments he gave an apologetic look "Daryl is my soulmate, its good to be with your soulmate" Tina defended herself "you have to fuck a lot of girls to find one like you, loyal, warm and gor--" he stopped himself from finishing his sentence, she felt slightly excited he was about to call her gorgeous, she wasnt sure she had been called that before, maybe she was Vanilla?

"I should get back, incase they notice im gone" Tina sighed making her way to the door "do you not think they would notice?" He asked wondering why she said what she had "no its just" she began but he cut her off "or will Daryl not notice? Is he too preoccupied with plotting my demise" he mocked again. Tina snapped, who did this guy think he was? "You really think you are something dont you? Strutting round the place with your bat, compensating for something are you?!" She teased pointing to his manhood, Negan looked impressed with her wit "why dont you take a look?" He quipped, Tina felt repulsed as she opened the door Negan slammed it in front of her, using his strong arm to keep her in. Pressing up close behind her he whispered in her ear "there is some sexual tension between us, can you feel it?" his breath on her neck sending shivers up her spine, but in a good way. "I should go" she whispered trying to fight whatever this was. "Tina, there is something about you, you drive me crazy, the stuff I want to do to you" he spoke through gritted teeth as he got closer to her face turning her round to face him, "Negan I should go, i dont know why I came, im sorry, please dont let this affect the deal with Rick" she pleaded, she didnt flinch when he placed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his touch felt electric and she could feel herself aching for him to touch her more. "Dont" she whispered closing her eyes unsure how far this could go. "If you want to leave you can?" He asked her looking intently into her eyes "i have to, i just have to" she whispered opening the door with his arm on it, which he moved, not before grabbing her arm gently and pulling her into a kiss, gently placing his lips on her, being a lot taller than her he had to place a finger under her chin to lean her face up to him, the kiss felt different, it was gentle being only a peck, breaking away slowly Tina spoke bluntly "i have to go. Bye"

Tina knew he was watching her exit the compound and felt weird. What the hell was that? And what did she think about even going there in the first place?

She had to get back home, to her daughter and to Daryl. Her soulmate.
