For the next couple of days Sky did her best to avoid Negan around the compound. Whenever she saw him, she could feel his eyes on her as he watched her with that charming but cocky smile plastered on his face. Every time she saw him she felt like a giddy school girl with a crush.
There was just something about the man, despite his obvious anger issues and his tendency to beat men to death with a barbed wire covered baseball bat, she saw something beyond all that within him. Something that she desperately desired to see more of.
At Chris's request Sky had returned to the infirmary after dinner that evening. Apparently Negan's guys were going on a supply run the following day and Negan had requested an inventory on what medications and supplies they had left.
It seemed a little odd to her, she thought that in an apocalypse that one would just grab any medical supplies they came across on a run and not waste time looking for specific ones, but she wasn't about to argue her point so she just ran with it.
She had finished up with the medications and had moved on to the last thing on the list which was bandages and dressing. As she counted up the last of the gauze packets she heard the door open behind her and saw the latest medical intern Marcus, who she had just met that morning, walk in.
If she was being honest with herself, she was a little disappointed that it wasn't Negan. "Chris mentioned you were doing inventory. Need any help?" he asked as he looked around the room.
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm just about done here" she told him, and he looked kind of disappointed.
"Alright then… maybe you and I could hang out after?" he asked getting a little too close to her.
Stepping to the side she put some distance between them, uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her. "Thanks but I'll pass. Early shift tomorrow" she said, making excuses. Truth was she didn't really like the guy, he was slightly creepy. She knew all too well what it looked like when a guy was coming on to you, and she was definitely not interested.
"You blowing me off?" he asked slightly angrily as he grabbed her arm.
"Look I'm just not interested ok. I haven't been here much longer than you and I'm just trying to keep my head down, learn the rules and do my job. You should do the same" she warned as she shrugged him off.
"You threatening me girl?"
"No… not threatening. Warning. Negan has rules, and there are consequences for breaking them"
"Oh yeah? And what rule is it that I would be breaking" he asked as he got right up in her face pinning her to the wall behind her.
"Touching a woman without her permission for one" she stated plainly, showing no fear or intimidation on her face.
"Well Negan's only gonna know if someone tells him so maybe you best kept your pretty mouth shut then huh?" he growled as he held a scalpel to her throat.
"I'm not scared of you. I've had worse" she spat angrily. "And I'm certainly not going to bow down to a piece of shit like you" she shouted as she brought her knee up into his stomach, slipping away and heading for the door as he doubled over. But he recovered quickly and grabbed her from behind slamming her into the door before tossing her back across the room.
"You'll pay for that you little bitch" he growled as he lunged at her with the scalpel. She tried to block his attack but he sliced deeply into her arm and she cried out in pain as she fell back onto the floor.
He was on top of her in a second and she bit his hand as he tried to pin her down and he let out a yelp. He quickly retaliated with a back hand to her face splitting her lip open and she could taste the blood immediately.
