Be The Genius In My Heart *BOOK 1 OF MR. & MRS. PORTER SERIES*

Chapter 24

The next morning I was awoken by the sun peaking over our window. I looked over and noticed Eugene wasn't there! He must've had to do something. I got up and dressed into new clothes, drank a quick cup of coffee, and walked out. Down the street, I saw Eugene sitting in a chair working on something. So I walked up to him and he looked up at me. "Morning." He greeted me. "Morning. Why did you ditch me in bed?" I asked him. "Rick asked me last night to do something early in the morning and I did. So here I am working on this radio box." Eugene explained. I scooted over and me and him shared the seat as I saw do his magic. Moments passed and a car drove up with Rosita in the front seat. "Could you open the gate?" She asked Eugene. I noticed Spencer was in the passenger seat. But Eugene ignored her, I did as well. "Eugene!" She yelled at him. "Yeah?" Eugene questioned as if he didn't hear Rosita the first time. "Open the gate!" She repeated sounding annoyed. Eugene and I got up and walked towards the gate."We're going out to see if we can find anything for when they come. Wanna help?" Spencer asked us. Eugene stopped. "I don't believe I'd be up to that." Eugene told them as I held his hand. "Yeah sounds about right." Rosita said. I tried running to her but Eugene held me back. "Please." Eugene said. I sighed and walked back to where I was. "I'm repairing this portable audio system for them. It will have a perfectly respectful music player when they arrive. I'm dealing with certaines and I'm doing my part to give them what they want." Eugene explained. "Damn right." I mumbled. Before they could respond, we heard trucks pulling up. Rosita and Spencer walked out of the car. We were all tensed up. I could feel Eugene shaking. I held my grip tighter on his hand. "It's okay." I whispered. Suddenly the same whistling was heard as he walked to the gate. I knew exactly who it was. Negan approached the gate. "Dum, dum, dum." He mumbled. Negan banged the gate with Lucille. "Little pig, little pig! Let me in!" He exclaimed. Spencer went up and slid the cover to the left. Revealing Negan himself. "Um..who are you?" Spencer asked Negan. I facepalmed. "Oh, you better be joking!" He yelled. "Negan. Lucille. I know I had to make a pretty strong first impression." Negan said. Rick walked up to the gate. I pulled Eugene away and we began walking back to our house. We walked into our house and sat down in our living room chairs. "What if they take a lot of our stuff?" Eugene asked worried. "I don't know, babe. We just gotta have hope." I explained to him. Eugene smiled and I did the same. I walked over and sat in his lap. He wrapped his arms around me. Eugene then kissed my cheek. I smiled. "I am so glad I thought you were hot when I first saw you." Eugene told me. "Why thank you. And I am glad I thought you were handsome." I said as we both chuckled.
