Miles Away (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Chapter 39: Hold Me Tight

I jumped in my sleep when I felt an arm snake around my waist. "It's just me." Daddy whispered softly in my ear, soothing me instantly. "Oh," I took a deep breath and turned around in his arms, inhaling the beautiful scent of pine and woods. A scent that only my Daddy could sport. His string tan arms were tangled around me like a snake latching onto its prey, only I felt safe. "I love you." I told him before snuggling into his chest. "I love you too," Daddy rubbed his hand up and down my back, and it was very soothing, enough to make me sleepy again.

I was finally back to sleeping next to Daddy again and I didn't have the uncomfortable feeling I used to have in my tummy. It wasn't all knotted up and my heart wasn't beating from my stomach anymore. I'm still wary around Kyle though, I know he's bad news and Daddy knows too. I will have Daddy by my side to keep me safe until we figure out what Kyle's problem is.

"Ally-Cat." Daddy whispered. "Yes?" I looked up at him sweetly, my eyes heavy with sleep. "Can I give ya' a kiss. I just want one." He said and pulled my lip down gently with his thumb. I fumbled around with my hands and shrugged, "I guess." I tried to avoid the question by keeping my head down. "I'm not gonna kiss ya' if yer' uncomfortable with it." I wanted to kiss Daddy on the lips, but I was scared and I couldn't pin point why. All I knew was that it scared me. I think it's all in my head though. "I want you to kiss me." I said quietly, taking a big leap. "Are you sure?" Daddy asked. I nodded my head, but I was scared to death. Daddy smiled and slowly lifted my chin up. He traced a finger over my lips before leaning down and pressing his rough, dry lips to mine. I took in a sharp breath at the feeling. I wasn't used to this kind of physical touching again. It was a simple kiss, no tongue or groping. It was just a kiss on the lips.

When Daddy pulled away he was smiling at me and squeezing me tightly in his arms. I felt safe, warm, and loved again. I can't believe that a few minutes ago I was scared to kiss now. "Was that okay?" He asked me. "Better than okay." I told him and kissed his lips again. It wasn't long before we started to make out with each other. Once I had that kiss from Daddy and I knew he wasn't going to hurt me or push me too far, I couldn't get enough of his kisses. Our lips began fighting each other's, and our hands were roaming over each other's body. I loved his shoulders and how defined his biceps were. They were sexy and sweet at the same time. I gasped when Daddy started to kiss down my neck and nibble on my collarbone. He stopped himself and pulled away. "Let's slow down. I don't wanna rush anything." Daddy rested his head against mine. "Okay." I was finally able to think for a minute and couldn't imagine my life without Daddy right now. "Thank you." I whispered in his ear. "For what?" He asked, not having a clue. I giggled, "for taking care of me silly and protecting me. You know my boundaries and what makes me happy and sad. You're the best Daddy I could ever wish for." I hugged him tightly and fell asleep on his chest after hearing, "I love you."

The sunlight was peaking right into my face and I groaned pushing myself further into Daddy. "Well hello," he said sweetly and kissed my neck. "Did ya' sleep alright?"

"Better than in a long time with you by my side." I whispered in his ear. "Good. I'm glad. We should get up, see what Rick has planned for the day." Daddy stretched his arms above his head and a thought came to mind. "Can we learn to use knives today? I think I'm ready." I told Daddy. He eyed me suspiciously and bit his lip. "Ya' don't have to, baby." "But I wanna. I wanna learn. I no wanna be scared anymore." I said quietly and fumbled with my hands.

Daddy huffed, "baby, it's not gonna help ya' get over yer' fears if yer' not ready. If anything, it might make it worse." Daddy was holding both my hands to get them from fumbling. "Okay. But one day, you teach me?" I asked in my baby voice. "Of course." He said and kissed my cheek.

Daddy and I got dressed for the day before heading out to the rest of the group. "Morning Ally," Lori greeted as I sat down. "Hi." She was cooking breakfast with Carol again. Fresh squirrel and scrambled eggs sounded amazing right now. "Who's on watch?" I heard Daddy ask. "Right now?" Rick asked then thought for a moment. "T-Dog." Rick answered.

"I'ma go talk to him. Be right back." Daddy kissed the top of my head and walked off to T-Dog who was over standing on a car.

"Ally, would like some breakfast?" Carol asked me sweetly. "Yes, please." I kick my feet back and forth and sway while singing to myself. "Here you go, sweetie. Eat up." Carol gives me a plate of food and I gladly accept it, thanking her. "Do you think Daryl will eat today? He never eats when I cook. I'm beginning to think I'm not as good of a cook as I thought." The group burst into a fit of laughter. "He doesn't eat that way we can eat." I tell them and watch as they have a sad look on their faces. "Well, he can eat something today then." Carol makes up a plate of food for Daddy. "Would you like to go get him, Ally. See if he'll join us today?" Lori spoke up. "Okay!" I jump up and run over to Daddy and T-Dog who are in the middle of talking. "Daddy! Carol mades us foods and says you should eat." I tell him. Daddy stops talking and gives me a stern look. "I'll talk to ya' in a bit." Daddy mutters and comes over to me.

I smile at him, but he doesn't look happy. "Don't interrupt me when I'm talkin'." He says sternly. "Sorry." I shy back away from him. "Do ya' understand?" He asked me and pointing a finger at me. "Good little girls don't interrupt people."

"I understand." I put my head down and frown. "Now..." Daddy said pulling me into his arms. "Don't get all upset." I try hard not to cry and succeed by breathing deeply and falling into Daddy's embrace. "I'm hungry." I say and pull Daddy back over to the group to eat. He sits behind me, while I'm between his legs.

"Dixon!" Shane calls. Daddy nods his head, acknowledging him. "What?" "Might wanna come check this out." He says. Daddy looks at me and I frown again. "Daddy..." I whine, not wanting to be apart from him. We just returned to being a normal couple and I want to spend time with him. "I'll be right back, I promise. Go talk to Sophia and Carl." Once again he kisses the top of my head before leaving to go with Shane.

Daryl's POV
"What?" I asked when I finally reached Shane. "Found some footprints from the woods leading right up the cars where we slept. Thought you could help us out with looking. Rick and I." Shane said. My eyes suddenly wandered to where Ally and I slept last night. I headed over to the truck and sure enough muddy tracks headed right over to the truck. The foot steps were too straight and accurate to be a walkers. This person was snooping around our group and knowing that he could've watched my baby girl sleep last night pisses me off to no end.

"When did ya' notice it?" I asked. "I didn't, it was Rick." Shane said and I looked over at Rick. "Tell 'im to come here." I watched Shane for over to Rick and I waved my hand for him to walk over. He approached me, looking curious. "Get everyone to match up their footprints. Could've been some someone in the group." I suggested and instantly thought of Kyle. That sick fuck watching my baby and I sleep. I'll slit his throat if I find out its him and I won't hold back. I'm not about to let anyone just take her from me. She's mine and I'm sure as hell gonna fight for her.

🐶Hey everyone. Sorry for the looonnnnggg wait. It's been about a month, but I have the next chapter started already so it shouldn't be too long of a wait. I've been SUPER busy and stressed out, but I have some time to relax now and I'm gonna get back up to date with my stories.

😍The Walking Dead starts on Sunday! 😱 and I know who died. I read The Spoiling Dead Fans tumblr account and apparently they are currently being sued for telling who dies. The Spoiling Dead fans are a group of people who tell the spoilers of each episode before they air, and over the past two years they haven't ever been wrong. Like EVER! So it's mostly accurate. So, if you would like to know which two people died, go check it out. Also, they have the first 8 episode outlines out which is where they tell you what happens in each episode and I'm excited to watch the new season because I know what happens up until episode 8!

💖Once again it's The Spoiling Dead Fans if you wanna look it up on tumblr. If you already know of the spoiler site, YAY!
