Rick's POV

I sat down and glared at Negan while he paced the floor. What little light streamed illuminated only the shit eating grin that made my blood boil. He finally sat across from and watched my every movement.

"What the hell do you want Negan?" I demanded. He smiled a bit and stood up laughing.

"Rick I wanna make you a deal. One I know you cannot resist," I watched him pace the room with Lucille swinging loyally by her master's side.

"Whatdya want," I asked following his every move. He chuckled and turned around with his signature smile. His hands fell onto the desk in front of me as he leaned down to be eye level with me.

"Stay here. I'll protect all those little pricks for no charge. Other than you keep your pretty little ass right here and do whatever the hell I tell you to do," he leaned in, his smile now brushed against my chapped lips as he whispered, "so what'll it be?"

"Now why the hell would I do that?" I spat angrily.

"You have so much to protect. Lord knows a war ain't gonna be any help. I will drop all costs that Hilltop, Alexandria and, get this, even the Kingdom owes me if you just become my own personal bitch," he laughed and pulled away from me. "I'd call that a deal Ricky boy. Carl don't even have to know. You come when I call and they live rent free. Fuck I'd say I am being quite generous."

"Why the change of heart all of a sudden? Why now? After everyone we lost, why make this deal now?" I yelled standing up and getting in his face. He smiled and grabbed my chin running his thumb along my bottom lip slowly.

"Simple Rick. I always get what I want and this way I kill two birds with one big ass boulder. Now do you accept the deal or not?" He whispered watching me carefully.

  (What my boyfriend says should happen:
     I'm telling you Prick I'm the last person you wanna cross dicks with but, since I like you.....
   He smirks with that boyish charm and that look of "I wanna shove Lucille up your ass")

What actually happens

"Cmon prick it won't be too long before it's too late to call of my men. All it takes to save all those people is to say one little word," he smirked grabbing my chin and tilting it up so I was looking into his eyes. What's the worst that could happen from agreeing to an innocent deal? I searched his eyes for some kind of catch but could only notice the playful glint he always had.

"And if I say no,"  I asked watching him smirk.

"Then I'll kill every fucker who chose to follow you blindly. Every community. One pest at a time. But that's not gonna happen is it Rick?" He was watching me break in front of him. "Tick tock Rick. Once they're too far I can't..."

"I'll do it," I shouted. He smirked and pulled away from the table. "But I stay in Alexandria. I'll be on call but don't take my kids from me."

"Course not. Just don't disobey me and always answer my call." He slammed a large walkie talkie down in front of me. "No matter what Rick. It'll be our little secret. I won't even tell my men." His smile grew as I gripped the device given to me. My eyes met his and for a split second I was afraid for what he had planned. "I'll be on channel 3 prick."
