Ch 14- Cats Out of the Bag

~Daryl~

Beth fell asleep in my lap. Rick sat on the opposite side of the campfire, and I saw Carl doing the same thing to him. Rick raised an eyebrow, looking us down. "So something happened when we were separated," he chuckled.

I shook my head and lied," Nah. We jus' got really close. She usually does this."

Rick raised his eyebrow again," I can see her hickey." He began laughing quietly, and I looked down in embarrassment, for both me and Beth. Beth's hickey was quite obvious.

"What's your point," I asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, but you realize when we find Maggie she is going to kill you."

I shrugged," Nah. She would know how much I mean to her and vice versa."

"Have you guys..." He trailed off. I knew what he was referring to, and we did technically, but that was when she was only 16. She was still a minor, and admitting to a cop I took a girl when she was sixteen and I was 32 would be sort of awkward.

I shook my head. I thought about telling him about the accident and us dating before, but even kissing isn't legal.

"You not telling me something Daryl," he questioned. "I have gone through many interrogations, I can tell
when someone is lying. She's eighteen anyway, so it's technically legal. Even if she wasn't what am I gonna do? Arrest you? I'm more concerned for your sake if Maggie found out."

"Remember when Andrea almost killed me," I asked. He nodded. "B-before then... We were um 'together' secretly. Apparently, when Andrea shot me, I lost my memory of liking her and... That we... It bothers me cuz I was the one that caused her to start cutting. She told me at the cabin when we were playing a drinking game and-"

"You gave her drinks too? Is that why you guys had sex," he asked quietly, making sure Carl was asleep.

"What?! No! It was way before than, at the farm and-" I froze. I let that slip. Cops make me so nervous, ever since I was little. With Merle being arrested all the time, I thought they were just being assholes, I didn't know why Merle was getting arrested.

I looked down in embarrassment. I just confessed two crimes to a cop. "J-jus' nobody needs to know okay? I don't think we are ready for anyone to know about us," I finally said after a long period of silence.

I then heard Michone whisper, still laying down on the ground,"Too late."

"Yup," Carl said popping the 'p' sound.

"Good job, Daryl," Beth murmured.

I sighed. Perfect. Fucking Perfect.
