Candy Shop - Negan -

Chapter 5

Alexis regretted taking Marcus to the scavenging trip the minute they walked out of the gate to meet the Saviors. He had a scowl on his face when Negan hopped out of his car, greeting them with a wide grin that lingered on Alexis. 

"Behave." 

She whispered after elbowing Marcus. He just glared at her to which Alexis rolled her eyes. Usually he was quite the expert on scavenging. Marcus had an eye for things and found hidden treasures quite often. But he was obviously distracted. Since Negan left yesterday, he had annoyed Alexis with small remarks about how the leader of the Saviors looked at her as if she was some tasty piece of meat. 

But she couldn't understand why he bothered so much. Alexis and Marcus never intended to have a serious relationship. It was nothing more than sex. They trusted each other and Alexis valued his advice highly, but there never would be anything romantic. Not mixing politics with emotions was her number one rule and she had this slight feeling that Marcus didn't get that. 

"You ready to find some shit?" 

Negan playfully wrapped his arm around Alexis' shoulders, but she immediately shrugged him off. God, this would seriously end in some giant pissing contest between Marcus and Negan if she wasn't careful. 

"Yep. Where are we going?" 

She scanned who was sitting in the car. He had brought three other people, one of them being Simon in the other truck. In total they were seven now, which was a proper group size for a smaller scavenging trip. 

"Surprise, darling." 

Rolling her eyes again, she wanted to walk towards the truck with her people, but Negan stopped her by grabbing her wrist. 

"You're coming with me, Lexi." 

"Are you serious?" 

For the second time today, she shrugged him off. 

"Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely." 

His attention had shifted from Alexis to Marcus. The latter threw death glares at the other leader and Negan obviously didn't like it. How stupid could Marcus be to mess with him? Did he really want to destroy all that Alexis had built. 

"Marcus. You and Jerry go in there. Now." 

Her voice was dangerously low, the tip of her bat pointing towards the truck, not leaving anything up to discussion. Marcus gaze shifted to Alexis and he opened his mouth to argue, but then remembered how Alexis usually reacted to disrespect. With gritted teeth, he walked towards Simon's truck together with another one of their communities' man. 

"He's your boyfriend?" 

Negan held open the car's door for her, his eyes still on the man that just joined Simon. He had yet to learn that Negan couldn't stand being looked at like this. 

"No. We're just fucking." 

Alexis said bluntly and let herself fall into the seat. She could hear Negan's chuckle through the closed door, while he walked around the vehicle to get inside himself. Starting the engine, he pulled into the dirt road in front of the truck. 

"You could get every guy on this planet into your panties and you really keep yourself a fuckboy?" 

The young woman surely didn't miss that Negan just admitted that he really found her attractive, but she kept her face void of emotion. 

"Well, since the biters are particularly nasty in bed, there's quite the lack of choice. But we can also stop pretending that you don't fuck around quite much at home, can't we?"
