Candy Shop - Negan -

Chapter 14

It was close to sundown when they arrived back at the Sanctuary. The trucks were filled to the brim with the goods they scavenged today and everyone was in their best mood. 

Simon didn't stop grinning the whole way back, he even whistled to some of the old rock coming out of the truck's dusty CD player. 

Negan stood on the raised stage at the entrance of the old factory, watching as the trucks arrived. Kitty was propped up on his hip, while he held Lucille with his other hand. Alexis rolled her eyes when she saw the he had just taken her out of the kindergarten again. He seriously started to behave as if he was her dad. They had some talking to do. 

After turning down the engine of the vehicle, Simon jumped out of the truck together with Alexis. 

"Why haven't we found her earlier, boss?" 

Laughing, he wrapped his arm around Alexis' shoulder as they walked towards Negan and Kitty. When Negan saw his right hand man touching Alexis and she not even attempting to shrug him off, a sour expression appeared on his handsome features. 

The other leader had to bite her lip to suppress the amused smile on her face and concentrated on her daughter. Kitty reached out for her and smiled a toothy grin. 

"Hey mommy!" 

"Hi, Kitty." 

Negan was busy staring Simon down until he withdrew his arm from Alexis shoulders, so she could lift Kitty up in her arms and hug her tightly. 

"She let us to hell of a place." 

Simon exclaimed, his excitement not dying down because of Negan's seemingly foul mood. 

"Let me see what you've got." 

His eyes flickered shortly to Alexis before he turned towards the trucks. Simon and Alexis followed him, watching as he hopped into the back of the large truck that carried all the boxes. He rummaged through some of them, inspecting the canned food before reaching the ones that had the good stuff in it. 

Negan's back faced them, so they couldn't see his reaction when he saw the bottles of booze. Alexis felt Simon's tension beside her and rolled her eyes. Yes, he was a lunatic, but why was everyone so damn afraid of him? 

Suddenly he turned around with a wide grin on his face, holding a bottle up vigorously. 

"A-fucking-mazing is the understatement of the fucking year!" 

A booming laugh came from from deep down his chest and some other Saviors turned around to  have a look at what was going on. Alexis couldn't help but smile herself and Kitty also giggled at Negan's outburst. 

"What's that, uncle Negan?" 

Her daughter pointed at the bottle and Negan jumped down the truck, still chuckling and walked towards them. 

"That, little girl, is happiness filled up in bottles." 

He ruffled Kitty's hair and then pressed a long, inappropriate kiss to Alexis' cheek and squeezed her shoulders. His smile was breathtaking and it nearly took her off guard.

"I'm throwing a fucking party for you, darling!"

Negan suddenly shouted and his people started to cheer, knowing that it would be party night tonight. And they all loved Negan's parties. 

He grabbed Kitty and pulled her out of Alexis arms, to which she frowned. 

"We're going back to auntie Frankie now, Kit. Your mommy will have a good night today."
