Carls POV

-----------------------

We started playing 20 questions, I think it was going well. I learned a lot about her. Her favorite foods, her favorite subjects, her birthday, her goals before the apocalypse, everything! As it got later our questioning got slower and our talking lowered.

" Hey Carl....  " She started to yawn. I looked over to her and caught her eyes slowly flutty shut.

" Ilisa? "

Nothing. She was asleep.

" Goodnight Ilisa."  I said standing and swinging her legs around so she was laying flat on the bed. I can only imagine how tired she was. She said she had been alone for over 4 months. Nowadays you can't really fall asleep when you're alone. I thought about taking her to her cell but I didn't wanna wake her up, nor did I want to carry her back. So, I'll let her take my dad for tonight.

I walked over to her cell to grab her blanket and turn off the lights. Then I walked back yo my cell to find her still sleeping. I laid her blanket over her and crawled to the top bunk. I couldnt fall asleep. So i started thinking about her. About how much I liked her already. I thought about how she makes me so happy even though I had just met her.

With a smile on my face and plesent thoughts in my head, i fell asleep.

Ilisas POV

-----------------------

Wow! That was the best sleep I've gotten in a long time. I open my eyes slowly but it was still dark and silent. I stayed awake for a few minutes still laying down. I thought about Carl and how safe he makes me feel. And about how nice he was and how cute he was. Oh my god his deep blue eyes of his shaggy dark brown hair he was so gorgeous. Thinking of him made me feel happy and at home and eventually I fell back asleep.

I woke up when the light glared in the my cell. I climb down the small ladder and started to get dressed. Ilisa was still sleeping. She looks so beautiful. I needed to get dressed so I searched my dresser drawers for a shirt. I heard a blanket rustle and looked over. Ilisa had woken up and turned around with a smile on her face. That amazing quickly exploded into gigglinging as she turn away.

" Sorry."  She said sitting up and facing the wall.

" Its okay." I hurried to put a shirt on.

" All clear. "  I called out. she turned over and kicked the covers off of herself.

" We just can't escape an awkward moment can we?"  she asked.

" I don't know, it wasn't that awkward last night. " I had to go for it. Time to turn on the charm.

" Oh yeah you're right it was......" She stepped towards me. " actually.... " Then another step. " pretty.... " She took one last step towards me so we're only inches away from each other now. She let her words linger for a moment then finished your sentence.  ".......fun."

" Yeah I had fun too. " I took a small step towards her, making her back away. Two can play this game. I continued walking towards her and she kept scooting back until I had her cornerd. I leaned in with a smirk and made eye contact. She avoided me and looked around nervously then pushed me away. I guess I won this round. I went back to my bed and grabbed my sheiffs hat that hung of the post. I glanced over to Ilisa and she was looking at the picture of mom. She smiled and turned to face me.

" That your mom?" She asked pointing at the picture. I shook my head yes. "Don't wanna talk about it?" I guess she could read minds.

" Not really."  I said.

" Ok. "

I looked down at my shirt that she was wearing and remembered I have to grab her clothes from Carol.

Ilisa POV

---------------------

"Oh wait, let me go grab your clothes real quick." he said.

"Oh yeah that'd be great thanks." I said as he left.I sat down on his bed. I waited for about 10 minutes, finally he came back.

" Thank,  Im gonna go change in my cell.

" Okay I'll wait for you here then we'll go to breakfast."

"Oh no, its fine you don't have to wait for me."

" You can get to the caffiteria yourself? " He asked it with a smart ass tone and a smirk.

" Whatever. Wait for me outside my cell."

So went into my cell and started to change. I don't think my clothes have spelt this nice since the end. I got my knife and the gun that Carl lent me and started to lace up my boots. I heard a knock on the door.

"One second I'm getting dressed."  I called.

"Okay, meet me outside as soon when you're done." The voice sounded like it belonged to Rick and he sounded pissed. I heard the same knock on the cell next to me, which happened to be Carls. I grabbed what I needed for the day and walked outside to meet Rick.

"Let's go." He said and started walking. He grabbed Carl and we both followed.

"So good morning Ilisa." He said, still not sounding particularly happy. "How was your first night?" 

"It was really great actually, I have not slept that well in a long time."

" Good, " he said as he continued forword. He knocked on a cell door and Daryl came out.

" Let's go."  Rick said to Daryk and he followed too. What was all this about? We finally reached the door and stepped outside.

" We need to talk to you." Daryl said looking at me and Carl.

" Sure what's up?"

"I saw you two, both in Carl's cell last night." Rick said, still pissed.

"Oh God I hope you guys don't think that we......... "

" Come on Ilisa, I saw you do the walk of shame." Daryl laughed. The he got seriouse. "Listen guys, you can't be sleeping in eachothers cells. its just not going to work."

"Yeah." Rick echoed.

" I'm really sorry dad, we didn't do anything." Carl said.

"Yeah." I agreed. " we wherent even in the same bed. It was really all my fault. me and Carl were talking after he had to help me and I just kinda fell asleep. "

Ricks face relaxed and looked a little less mad.

" Okay guys this is a warning but no more, you just can't be sharin a cell.

"Okay I understand." i said. i looked to Carl who wasn't looking at Rick.

"Understood." he said.

" Yeah okay guys," Daryl said. "Go to breakfast."
